Bucilla Kits Over the Years

 After making a comment in one of my recent posts 

wondering how many sequins I've sewn onto Bucilla felt kits

over the years, I decided it would be fun to look back on all

of the kits I've made.

 

The following photos are of most of the things I've made.

The very first kit was a Christmas tree skirt that I made

for my daughter.

A friend at church had made one and brought it to show

us one day.

I'd never heard of Bucilla before and that got me started on 

making these kits.

 

 

 

  

In any event.... I've sewn a lot of sequins onto felt pieces

and continue to love making these kits.

 

Here are all of the stockings I've made

over the years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Here are some of the ornaments I've made: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There mice are my favorites!

 

 

Here is the other tree skirt I made.

 

 

 

And then there are the wall hangings and a pillow.

 

 

 

I made a small plain quilt and stitched the

snowman tree to it for my daughter.

It's much easier to display this way!

This has been a fun walk down memory lane! 

These have kept me very busy over the years

and will continue to do so when the mood strikes.

 

Happy Quilting! 

Quilt Camp

 Back in October, I went on my annual

Quilt Camp retreat

in upstate New York.

We've rented the same house for a few years

on Keuka Lake and have a great few days of sewing.

 

Once again, we each made a quilt for another person

and gifted them at quilt camp.

The theme this year was "Spring".

 

 

 

Kathy, on the right, had my name and made me this

beautiful colorful quilt.

It's in my sun room and is used often this time of year!

 

 

 

I had Kathy's name and made this quilt for her.

She's a teacher, so I used a layer cake called

"Old School" and used a pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew.

(I can't remember the name and can't find it online.)

This quilt isn't really "Springy", but school is in

session on the spring. :) 

While I'm happy with the end results of this quilt,

I HATED it as I was making the blocks.

Kathy was excited to get it and was going to use it

in her classroom.

 

 

While at quilt camp,

I made the blocks for "Carbonation"

by See Jamie Sew. 

  

 

This is not for the faint of heart!

I used a bunch of Kaffe fabrics

(I'm on a roll with using Kaffe!)

for the circles and one of my favorite 

fabrics for the background.

There are four sizes of circles in the design

and the smallest one was challenging to piece.

The top is finished and waiting to be quilted.

 

I love it!

 

Happy Quilting! 

Bucilla Stockings

 As some of you know,

I love making the Bucilla felt kits

and have made a LOT of them.

(It would be fun to know how many sequins

I've sewn onto felt over the years,

but I'm not counting them! :D)

 

This year two more stockings have been added

to my list of things made.

 

This one is for my God-daughter's little boy.

The bricks took a while to make, but look so cool.

 

 

 

 

 

This stocking is for my house for my oldest granddaughter.

I had made one when she was born,

but last year, after hanging them all on the mantle,

I wasn't happy with hers.

All of the other stockings have Santa and hers did not.

Now she has one that does!

 

 

  

 

I always make a quilted stocking and then stitch the 

felt piece to the front of this.

The same cute fabric was used for both of these stockings.

 

Happy Quilting!
 

Wow! It's Been a While!

 Over two months since I last posted here??!!

I don't know where the time has gone,

but here we are.

 

I have been busy during these past two months,

but don't have a lot to show here.

 

 

 

 

 

I did get this quilt top finished using 

 the Orla Quilt pattern by

Kitchen Table Quilts.

The pattern calls for 10" squares

and I had a pile of Kaffe squares just

waiting to be used. 

 

 

 

 

It's great for showing off the larger prints. 

 

 

 

It was a fun fast quilt to make and is

ready for quilting.

I'm not sure if I will do it or if I'll send it

to my quilter.

(If I want it done sooner rather than later,

it will go to my quilter. :)) 

 

Happy Quilting!
