I’ve been getting lots of sewing details out of the way recently.
I made a cute sample quilt for my class later this month.
It’s little – 24″ x 36″ and makes me realize I need to branch out in my quilting more. I love the texture all these straight lines give it.
Also stitching up labels… I like that these fill my TV time along with binding stitching.
And bees! I’m all caught up on all of my bees! Just need to pop all of these into the mail…
Block Party:
Sew Connected 2:
And 12 Squared:
Now I need to dive back into a this quilt…
This is my 15th quilt of the year! It’s based on the “What a Bunch of Squares” Denyse Schmidt patten.
How long will it be before there isn’t any Mingle in every quilt I make?? A long time I think.
Ducks!
That’s my kind of red, white and blue! Happy 4th to all you American readers. To everyone else, happy Saturday!
Hi Everyone!
Wanna learn how to make a quilt, start to finish? If you are in the LA area, I’m teaching another class for Home Ec. at Reform School in lovely Silver Lake. Don’t you wanna learn to quilt over three summer Wednesday evenings? I hope so because I want to teach you!
Check it out and sign up here. I would love to see you there!
The quilt that I made with all of the women involved in Block Party, a virtual quilting bee, is finished and it’s beautiful!
Each and every block in this quilt is perfect.
Right?? I’m so lucky this is mine.
If you click through to this photo on flickr, you can see a collage with a photo of each block and link to who made them. That’s one batch of seriously talented ladies! I’m thrilled to be doing this bee with all of them.
Here’s the pieced back I put together based on all the fabric I had left.
Permit me to show you some more pretty pictures of it!
I genuinely love this quilt so much and the fact that it was made with help from so many of the wonderful people I’ve gotten to know though this amazing online quilting/blogging community makes me love it even more.
It measures 75″ x 75″ and it’s going to live with me on my couch. All the time. Have I mentioned that I love it??
Put together this little baby boy quilt top based on Denyse Schmidt’s What a Bunch of Squares quilt. It’s a gift for family friends.
Fun to be working with a small quilt again after my bigger Block Party one. Speaking of, I’m mere stitches on the binding away from finishing it! Can’t wait for you to all see it done!
I’m in love with my Block Party quilt!
The top is all finished…
…and I’ve been quilting away.
I should be done soon!
Clearly I’m not the most creative at coming up with quilt names… oh well – I guess this says it all!
All finished! I love it. Love love love it. I think it’s so youthful and funky and just fun!
For the back I did a simple strip of patchwork – mostly solids with a pop of pattern! The patterned fabric is the circles from Mingle. Man am I ever obsessed with those right now… I think I bought them in every colorway!
And the chocolate brown binding adds a nice frame to it.
It’s listed in my shop!
Been working on these blocks for a long time and they are finally all done and sashed in my usual white.
I’m excited to see this one come together. I’ll hopefully make real progress this weekend!
Recently got some of these Jay McCarroll birds. Don’t know why I hadn’t bought any before. They are so weird and I love them.
Have a great weekend everyone!
A quick note for my LA based readers…
I’m teaching a patchwork pillow class for Home Ec. at Reform School on June 22nd, this coming Monday evening. Maybe you’re interested? Check out more details or sign up here! We’ll be making log cabin blocks and chatting about improvisationally piecing them. And then we’ll turn them into a pretty pillow!
I would love to see you there!
