Got my new sewing space all sorted out! I need to hang more pretty little things on the wall, but otherwise, it’s all set. I have a cutting table. Hurray! And I get to look out these doors all day long. This is what I like about living in Los Angeles… it’s a big not [...]
Got this fun and bright baby quilt all finished up! Settled on the name “Birds & Blooms” for it, but I’ll have to make another quilt with birds & flowers so that the name “Flowers & Fowl” is used. Along with the new sewing room, I have a design wall and a new place to [...]
All quilting has been put on hold while my husband and I completely rearrange our house. This is not fun, but the major bonus is that now I’ll have my very own sewing room! And it’s a much sunnier room than I was previously sewing in. I’ll post photos once I’m feeling like it’s a [...]
Here’s some quick photos of the latest simple baby quilt top. Half of a set of two quilts for twin girls. Not sure what to do for the second one… I’m thinking the same fabrics in a different simple design? Not sure… anyone else made quilts for twins or have any ideas? I’ve found it [...]
Yesterday Cate (my twin sister who just bought a house) had her house warming party. I finished all of the pillows and cushions just in time! There is more work to be done on the patio in that the bare cement blocks will be covered and painted, but meanwhile, the sewing is done! Before: And [...]
Getting started on the next baby quilt that will be half of a set for twin girls. Almost done with all of Cate’s patio pillows and cushions! So far so good but the huge cushion I will be tackling tomorrow… we’ll see! And I got this quilted! Just have to get the binding on now. [...]
I’ve decided it’s way past time to be labeling my quilts – but didn’t have the patience to wait the time it would take to get them made before finishing my last quilt, so I embroidered one! I figure that it’s not like I make so many quilts that I can’t manage to make a [...]
Here it is! All finished! There’s nothing like pulling a finished quilt out of the dryer and finally getting to see it in its fully crinkled glory. It’s the biggest quilt I’ve free motioned. I luckily don’t seem to have that many struggles with shoving a big ol’ quilt around in my sewing machine. Maybe I [...]
Or should be it Flowers & Fowl?? Can’t wait to quilt this one!
Finished up these fun colorful blocks yesterday. I’m happy with how they came out. I thought I might be mixing and matching too many different fabrics, but there are a lot of florals and I think the combo of that and the solids ties them all together. I anticipate doing my usual white sashing and [...]
