So, I got the top blocks pieced last Sunday, and then got up early this Saturday to finish the quilt because the shower was that afternoon. I finished it 30 minutes before the shower. I then called the host of the shower to get directions and found out that, the shower is NEXT Saturday. Boy did I feel silly! At least I got her present done in time right? *wink*
The quilt is made completely from my stash! :D
Then I started and finished this little ornament in two days. I have loved this pattern since I saw it in the JCS 2007 Ornament magazine. It is called "fill with love" as you can tell :) I like how realistic it looks. I am not sure how I'll finish it yet.
I've been craving lasagna, and last summer I made the best lasagna EVER, and I'm making it again tonight! We invited friends over to help us eat it all :) If you love lasagna you must try this recipe out. It is from The Pioneer Woman, and she gives great instructions for the cooking challenged (ME). I've tried several of her recipes and they've all been good :D

Oh my, I love that quilt! You must have some great quilting stash, because those fabrics are wonderful. Great colors, and the pattern you used looks fabulous! I'm sure it will be a much-treasured gift.

What a great quilt! That's the next thing I'm going to learn ... when ever I have time that is :). I'm sure your friend will love it!
Wow, Heather! Both are great as always :) I envy your quilting skills. The lasagna recipe sounds good, but I use my mom's and it's even EASIER! lol. I like easy. I'm making a "No-Fuss Meat Loaf" tonight :)
I am in awe of the quilts you make, they are always so beautiful ;)
Lasagna - did I hear lasagna - I'll be right over. How long does it take to drive from Arizona to Oregon???
Seriously, your baby quilt is just gorgeous. What a lucky little recipient.
The quilt is lovely...and the ornament is great, too. I've been meaning to stitch it myself.
That is such a gorgeous quilt! And your ornament finish is adorable.
We also love lasagna. I have an old family recipe that I tend to stick to. ;) Might be just the thing for tonight's dinner...

That quilt is simply fantastic. I love all of the purples. ;) Congrats on being able to make it completely out of your stash!
I like your ornament, too. I've seen this on a couple of blogs and just might have to stitch it myself.
Fabulous quilt, Heather!
I'll have to try making up the Pioneer Woman's lasagne. I had great luck with her steak sandwiches when I had a house full of men and boys over Christmas. :)
