November OMG Finished

My OMG for November was to make the Fractions quilt top from Stripology Squared. I not only got the top done but was able to quilt and bind it as well. I love how the quilt turned out.


A close up of the quilting. I spent Veteran's Day at dad's and was able to get it quilted.

I finished up 4 more bags that I had cut out. I'm so pleased to have all of these done.

I made two Becca Bags with the leftover quilted fabric from my duffle bag.

I made 3 Becca bags from some scraps.

I made the Best of Joy table runner from Gudrun's Quilt Crew.

I made two table tents for imaginative play.

A Giant Starburst quilt from scraps for my favorite GB fan.

A trinket case to test the pattern out with my scraps. It went to my nephew Cooper for his birthday.

I made a Sew South tote to haul my books around in for classes.

I made 18 Boo Boo bags for Mathew's Birthday party favors.


I cleaned up my sewing studio as well and re-organized it. I also did the kids bedroom.



It was a very productive November!

Whims And Fancies Trunk Full Of Quilts 2016

Whims And Fancies Trunk Full of Quilts

As I was looking through my Flickr account, I realized just how many quilts I have made this year, so I decided to focus on those. This is in no way a comprehensive list because I realized many of them I got them quilted and didn't take a picture after binding.
My most recent finish - last night - is the Giant Starburst quilt using scraps from a previous quilt. I love the simplicity of the pattern and the colors.

Last Friday I finished Fractions, a quilt I'll be teaching in February. I love the pattern, designer, and the fabrics are so modern.

This fall I took a class with Gudrun Erla of GE Designs. She was a bucket list quilt designer who I wanted to take a class from. I made the Strip Burst in a baby size. This used up some of my mom's pink jelly roll.

I made this Strip Lash quilt using the leftovers from the same quilt I made in the spring for my MIL.

This is a "miniature" radiant star I made for my co-worker for Christmas. He said he liked neutrals.

I made this faux granny square table topper after teaching how to make the block.

This coin quilt is made from scraps of all the other 5 cowgirl quilts I have made. I put my last bit of cowgirl minkee on the back.

I tried to make a minature granny square, but I could have gone smaller. The blocks are 4.5".

I made this BQ quilt for my friend Cindy using my mom's fabric stash of Loralie. She loves the quilt!

My nephew Owen needed his big boy quilt, so I made this twin size Case IH quilt for him using a different BQ quilt pattern and adapting to my squares.

I made the Remington quilt as a sample for the store. It turned out great and both my brothers want it. Who knows who will get it?

My MIL loves blue and white, so I used my mom's blue/white/gray winter snow fabrics to make her this quueen sized strip lash quilt. I gave it to her when she got a new job that I helped her get.

I've made a lot of bags, table runners, and several other quilts this year. Visit my moneikquilts flickr account to see all my projects.

My Bags over the last 2 months #elmstreetquiltsbagit

I've been making a lot of bags over the last two months, so I thought I would share them for the

#elmstreetquiltsbagit 

event. Elm Street Quilts Bag It Event is going on right now.
I made 3 Becca Bags from scraps of Remington fabric and camo fabric. These will be Christmas gifts.


These purple/teal baskets/bags are great for giving as small gifts.

This one holds all my "stuff" at work.


I made two of these Becca bags from leftover quilted material. Both use the 1 zipper technique.

These five sweet pea pods were made from scraps of Bendy bags.

I made up these three clear project bags for my WIP's to go in.

I made two bottle bags. This is the medium.

This is the inside of the small one. They hold essential oils.

I also made myself a new purse. I just love the horse fabric.

November OMG Goal

November is already flying by. I'm not sure why I think I have time to start 3 new quilts, but I have pulled the fabrics and started the cutting process for three new ones. My goal for the November OMG party is to make the Fractions quilt top from Stripology Squared. If I get it quilted and bound that will be the icing on the cake, but right now I'm shooting for getting the top made as my goal.


My goal was supposed to be to make the Peek A Boo table runner in brown and blue batiks. However, I ended up getting it finished this morning, so I'll set a bit more challenging goal. I have another one I would like to make before next Saturday, but we'll see what happens.
