Show Your Stripes Blog Hop! - It's My Day!
Hello, thank you for visiting my blog today to peek at my contributions to the
Show Your Stripes Blog Hop!
Carla over at Creatin' In The Sticks has put a lot of work in to getting us all prepared for the hop
and this is a big thank you shout out to her!
I love to make charity and comfort quilts and am currently out of baby quilts. I generally have a stack in the backseat of my truck in the winter. If I see a mom with an infant and it is only wrapped up in a receiving blanket I can gift her a quilt right on the spot. So I have prepared some tops that I still need to quilt but it wont take me long to get them completed and in the truck.
My stylized rose will wrap some little girl up nice warm and cozy don't you think. The striped inner border just adds to the look.
I received these fabrics in a kit from a blogger several years ago and now have them in top form just waiting to be quilted. It is just a dab bigger so it can go to a 1 - 2 year old little boy. You will find some stripe fabric in the quilt and the jelly roll strips make stripes of their own. Some little boy will love this!
This is one of my favorites. I didnt use a jelly roll but cut my strips of fabric for this one. Lots of polka dots and sewn together in stripe form. :) Very bright and cheery. It could be for either a girl or boy. It needs an outer border but I dont have anything in the house to match.. I just might add a multi color stripe border on it or maybe bind it in stripes. Decisions decisions. :)
And I love giveaways so leave me a comment about your quilting endeavors.
Someone will win this Tree of Life panel. I will use the random number generator on Saturday, Feb 27 at 9am Central time to choose the comment number and whoever made that numbered comment will win!
I do have these for sale so if you are interested in one, just give me a shout!

Time For A Refresh
Yes, PigTalesandQuilts is gone from the banner but the domain will always point
here. I have been back and forth with this decision but I finally made a
definitive decision and I believe it is time to retire the old name and bring in
the new. Our lives have changed so much over the past 12 years and the old blog
name centered around our pottery and the pigs we collected and since we no
longer collect it makes sense to refresh the blog.
I am in love with my new blog banner!! I bought the image of the machine from a seller off of Etsy and with
her permission used it for my blog. I took it in to my photo software and added the words. I love the saying
at the bottom and that is SO me!
I have done some housekeeping on the blog this morning, deleting some irrelevant posts, so the
dates will look out of sync but the remaining posts are what matters anyway. I
am excited to get back to blogging and I hope you will all come and read my
musings. I know it has been a long time and I have tried to get back to blogging
a few times but the time just wasnt right. Our lives have slowed down
considerably so I am looking forward to blogging and sharing my work. I hope to
do a few blog hops again but I dont plan to get in as many as I once did. I just
want to hang out with people of like-minds. :)

Tshirt Quilts
I completed these for different clients. They both were thrilled with how they turned out. They have become my favorite quilts to do for clients.
