a meow quilt...

i made a "meow" quilt for one of junie's dolls. i used one square left over from the crib sheet, some vintage, and some from my grandma's stash...

february...

here is my red mini-quilt for the challenge. i made a little sleep sack for junie's favorite baby jackie. i used fabric from my grandma's stash, she had a lot of heart fabric!!!

bow inspiration...

march quilt square is bow, i'm really excited about this one. i love bows. i found these images from ma+chr on pinterest and fell in love, i'm going to use them as my main inspiration. there is also a blog...

january...

here are my mini-quilts for january, i made two because i wasn't happy with the first one... i definitely learned some stuff, like cutting then sewing then cutting then sewing is a little too much and leads to a messy looking end product. also i love black and white but i think i have to have either grey in there too or the white cannot be a bright white. and finally the biggest lesson learned and the reason behind this challenge is to be patient!!!

i did like the "mug rug" more as soon as i put my coffee mug on there and there is just enough room for a cookie or my new iphone, (yes i'm on my second one) the cover is from society6. POLAR BEAR

a monthly challenge...

so i like to create challenges for myself, i need something to keep the creative juices flowing!!!

i've been so inspired by some lovely ladies doing some amazing patchwork and i want to practice my patience at quilting. my grandma was the best quilter and i aspire to be as good as her, so i thought i'd practice with mini quilts!!!

i would like to keep the size under 12" square and each month will be designed off of one word completely open in interpretation, those are my only rules.
