Moving my blog

Hello to everyone who follows this blog. I am moving my blog to a more fitting title. You can now find me here.
http://kimscolorfulquilts.blogspot.com/
I am going to try to move my last post to there, but we'll see how that goes.

UFO Challenge 2012

Judy at Patchwork times has challenged us to get at least one project done a month. So here are my twelve.

#1 My first project for paper piecing was a quilt from Linda Hibert. I have all of the pieces now and just have to get them all done and put together.

#2 My civil war Quilt. This one was started over a year ago as a block of the month. A lot of us got stuck on month seven. The only thing left for this is Quilting binding and a label.
#3 My mom finished these house blocks and then gave then to me to put into a top. I just need a border quilting, binding and label.
#4 These Dresden blocks were started YEARS ago. When my kids were very little. It's time they get into a quilt and are done.
#5 These are small little blocks a group of my internet friends and I did. They have been waiting for some time to be put together. I think I will make them into a small wall hanging.
#6 These were from another internet group. I need to put my jars on a shelf.
#7 This one needs a border and quilting.
#8 These blocks are for the American Beauty. My mom started them and then gave them to me to finish.
#9 This was a block of the month and just needs to be quilted bound and labeled.
# 10 Same thing with this one.
#11 I will have the border on this one this afternoon and then it needs to be quilted bound and labeled. (I decided against the sequins).
#12 This is another one my mom gave me to finish. I just love these colors.
I really thought I would have to search for unfinished projects, but unfortunately it was easier than I thought. I really hope I can get all of these done this year.

This way and that mystery


This was a six month mystery at my LQS. I haven't put the boarder on yet, because I am still deciding. The sparkles on it are sequins. My husband doesn't think that would be very comfortable on a quilt and I should just use plain black. What do you think?

Design Wall Monday: Quilt of Valor

A woman in my block of the month is collecting quilt tops and completed quilts for the quilts of Valor. She is getting them specifically for the Vietnam vets of Loveland. She handed out kits to put together. I worked on this all day yesterday and finished at 10 last night.
And I finally got my stash all organized.

Macro Monday: Spider

Cat faced spider in one of my bushes.

Foto Finish: Autumn


The family took a wonderful hike in the high country. We expected to see lots of colors. We did. On the drive to the hike. The trees where we hiked had not really changed yet. It was a bit disappointing, but it was a fun wonderful hike above 10K feet.

Foto Finish: looking up

Loveland has an annual balloon festival. It's nothing like the one in New Mexico, but it's fun to go down and watch them blow the balloons up and take off. Most of them have baskets but not this guy. There are always a lot of people looking up on this morning.
