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 color combo [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Wish I had a more exciting name for this quilt 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″.
I love this quilt. I [...]
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 a uniquely [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Now normally I don’t just post kitties shots, but we had a particularly good photo shoot yesterday…
And because this is a quilting blog after all… Another little coin quilt in the sun.
I’m starting a new job today. That means my obsessive quilting will slow down. Some!
My coffee is brewing so I’m taking the time to show you my latest finished quilt. The red & aqua is all done!
It’s much like my usual quilts – lots of white and wonky log cabins and as a result, I love it!
One of my usual pieced backs:
I used some of the precious Paint [...]
All done!
It measures 40″ x 40″ – perfect for a baby quilt.
I used the 4.5″ template from here. After sewing together the columns of hexagons, I off set them so that the color hexagons would be surrounded in white half hexagons.
Then, being inspired by this and this, I gave “pebble” quilting [...]
