I finished up a pair of cute baby quilts for a commission. For twins who are on the way! I made a couple of pillow sleeves to go along with ‘em too. Why can’t I ever coordinate photo taking with no fold lines in the quilts?? These were fun to sew up. I haven’t been [...]
It’s been awhile since I’ve finished a quilt that wasn’t on a deadline. It was nice. Some friends who are having a baby girl are getting this one! This quilt confirmed for me that I am not as much of a fan of the washed crinkled look when the quilt isn’t stippled. Stippling leads to [...]
I know you all just saw this quilt top – but it’s now finished! I ended up binding it in black (this is my first use of black in a quilt ever) and I’m really happy with the outcome. And of course I did another of my usual pieced backs: I really enjoyed working in [...]
I’m feeling crazy busy these days. A tad too busy, but when it’s all quilting all the time that’s keeping you that way, how can you complain?? A quick little class sample for an Improv. class that I’ll be teaching at Common Threads Studio in Pasadena. And why am I currently so obsessed with the [...]
So busy these days that this is my first finish of 2010. A cute and simple baby quilt for some friends who are expecting but don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl. Their first baby got this quilt, so the idea was that the quilts are different but still sort of match. I [...]
This will be the last quilt that I finish in 2009. How do I know? I have zero going right now. I’ll need to remedy that soon. Been too busy with the holidays to get anything started recently. Meanwhile, the quilt! It was my Christmas present for my father. All Kona solids this time around [...]
Wish I had a more exciting name for this quilt (edit: I’ve named it April Retangles!) because I’m so happy with how it came out. I improv. pieced wonky rectangular blocks like I did with the Lantern Bloom quilt, using the gray to unify all the blocks. It’s a lap quilt, measuring 48″ x 59″. [...]
Here it is in all its super colorful glory. I should note that the dark color is a chocolate brown, not black as it looks in the photos. This quilt is a commission and the Lantern Bloom fabric was requested. This flickr photo, along with the colors in the fabrics inspired the quilt. It’s such [...]
Here in LA, we hardly feel fall show up. But the past few days have been so so wonderful. Sunny and cool (for LA) and it’s put me in a fall mood! After making the huge hexagon quilt I wanted to make a quick and fun little project so I put together this little stroller [...]
I went back and looked, and the first photo I have of the beginnings of this quilt is from July 24th. And today is September 28th. Two months it took me to make this quilt. For me, that is a long time. Now it would be one thing if I’d done a ton of sewing [...]
