Happiness is...

Happiness is my second finished quilt for the year and number three is following in short pursuit.

My first finish of the year was a commission piece. 
The quilt was queen sized with a couple of nice borders.  

My favorite part of the quilt was that it was a completely new design. 
I loved the pattern so much I have to make it again. 
I am calling the pattern "Tangled Tumbler." 

It is based on a cross between a disappearing 9-patch and a tumbler. 
This is one type of finished block.

And this is the other.

My silly brain forgot to take a finished picture before the quilt went to its new home. Or even a shot with the borders.                                                                                                                   How do you remember to take photos?

My second finish is this little baby. 
It's a baby quilt for my godson. 
A gal is guild gave me some flannel triangles that I stitched on point. 
Not only did I remember to take a photo of the completed quilt, I also remembered the label.
I think it's sweet. 
What do you think?

In the coming weeks, be on the look out for my Etsy store, Titan Pink Quilts. 

Here I am planning on having patterns and quilts created by me. 

This turn is because, over the last year or two, I have been testing other people's quilt patterns. 

It has been fun. 

More importantly this little adventure of testing patterns has given me many ideas that I am not seeing in the quilting world. 

Oh such a squeal

I am so in love with the last quilt I made. I can share photos yet. I will once the recipient has received it. There were a few bumps along the way. In the end I am very happy with the results. It helps that the quilt features one of my all time favorite characters "Betty Boop."

After I bought this fabric and had Christmas with my family I found more Betty Boop fabric.

There are so many things I learned along the way. Especially in the finishing. I stitched 1/2 the binding down then folded over and went around again. I very much like the results. Also on the quilting of it, I started in one corner and worked my way diagonally to the other. no puckers or anything. And and and...

On to the next one...

This coming weekend I will be taking my 1st ever class. Fun & Done! with my wonderful sister in law. I will be very sad when she moves back to Tulsa, as for now she is close enough for a weekend trip.
