Around my Home

 Rebuilt kitchen table.

 My mom built this little table in high school shop class. I gave it a little update with paint.

 Used the same paint for the door out to the garage.

 Front door, minus the ugly black storm door.

New entry table. I used my new welding skills (and lots of help at the metals studio).

Gave our blah fireplace an update. We'll do something about the black and brass doors at some point.

 I tried my hardest to hide all of those cords back there.

A few photos from around my house. 

Brother Quilts

I decided back in September that I would make a modern quilt for my brother and brother-in-law for Christmas. And true to how I usually work, I waited until a week before Christmas to get started. (Not exactly true, I purchased fabrics back in September). I worked around the clock for 2 days on each quilt. And because I waited so late to start, I was in a bit of a rush and didn't take as many photos as I'd have liked.

Quilt #1 for my Brother-in-law.

Quilt #2 for my Brother. This picture is just of the top, it has not been quilted and finished. 

When I look at these photos it's pretty obvious that precision is not one of my strengths. Regardless, I love the way the HST piecing turned out. I got some pretty nice feedback from the brothers, which makes me super happy. I am currently in the process of making a much larger one for our bed at home.

What kind of handmade gifts have you been working on lately? 

Wow!

I'd love love to have each of these items in my kitchen.

It's not even Thanksgiving yet...

...but I'm gonna dream of this room for Christmas right now.
