Home State Love and NTT

Happy Needle and Thread Thursday!  This week has been all about scrap play for me.  I've finished a scrappy quilt that I have to keep secret for now, but while my scraps were out, I also sewed a few of my precious AMH bits to make this pillow.

This pillow is for my mom for Christmas (she already knows, so I'm not blowing a huge surprise here).  I already have a collection of embroidered state pillows, one for each of the four states that my hubby and I have lived during our marriage, but believe me, if I didn't have those, I would definitely be making one of these for myself as well.  I'm working on a full tutorial for this 18-inch pillow and it will be ready very soon, so be on the lookout!

Last week's party was filled with great stuff happening in your sewing spaces!  This blue beauty by Gemini Jen is called Halfmoon Bay-

Just look at this Modernized Double Wedding Ring quilt by Jess at Quilty Habit!  I love the modern twist on this traditional pattern.

and check out this cool orange gem mini by Anja Quilts!  Her post actually contains four different gemstone minis, so be sure to hop over and check out the other three!

It's time to link up all of your eye candy from the last week, friends!  Let's party!

1. You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing!

2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others.

3. Please remember to spread the word and post my button or a text link.  

4. Spread the comment love far and wide!

5. Following me is not a requirement to link, but is so very appreciated!

*If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop"  when selecting your thumbnail photo.  For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work!  :)
