Winding Pathway's Quilt

I have enjoyed working with a beautiful Joel Dewberry line called Aviary 2. It has all of my favorite colors. Orange, Brown's, Teal, and Creams. I am calling the pattern of my quilt Winding Pathway's.


I loved the design and the style co much that I made the following mug rug's

This one was entered in a Mug Rug challenge on Facebook at I don't have a problem, I have a well-rounded fabric stash! , her is the information if you would like to participate:

Because I was the first person to post an entry, I won a gift certificate at

 Sew, Mama, Sew! (http://www.sewmamasew.com)

so of course I turned right around and ordered these fabrics:


Now what to make? what to make?

But I digress. Here are additional Mug Rugs I have listed at my Etsy Shop. 





And while I was on a roll I could not help but make a Mini-Quilt or two....


After all of these items, I'm still not sure I am ready to give up working with these Joel Dewberry fabrics. They are just so beautiful. 

Now I have a special order quilt that I must get back to...It's a University of Texas quilt that I am making as a gift for someone to give. I will show it off once I get a little farther along in the process.

A Wonky Cake of my Own

We are getting ready for a Wedding at our house, my son is getting married. I have been wanting to make a cake block to celebrate the occasion. I couldn't find a pattern for my cake so I decided to make my own. The new bride to be has picked Fuchsia, Black and White. I wanted to include all of these colors and I wanted some Zing! 

This could be used in so many ways...This could be hung on a wall, used to decorate a table, a signature quilt for a shower or for the wedding.


For this cute little applique piece I used ribbon on the second tier of the cake to really make it jump out at you. I also included some bling...and of coarse I embroidered The Bride and Grooms name and wedding date.

I'm not sure how we are going to use this piece. We will just have to see...

Can't you just vision this for other special occasions? 

This can be made for Birthday's, Baby Baby Shower's, Wedding's, Wedding Shower's, Anniversary's or any other Special Occasion.

This Mini Applique block is 20 1/2 X 20 1/2. 

But can be made in any size that you can imagine.
