and coins and coins! Keeping busy getting started on some very simple stacked coin quilts. I’m going to make two at once… One for a boy and one for a girl. I love working with so many fun, bright and bold fabrics! It makes me happy. And a gratuitous cat photo just ’cause. She is [...]
I’ve decided to call it the Land & Sea Quilt because it’s got lots of things from land (flowers, birdies) and sea (mermaids and erm…giant squid!) in it. Couldn’t think of a better name, so I settled on that. It is BIG. 88″ x 100″. Queen sized for sure and the biggest quilt I’ve made. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
First little glimpse at progress on the commissioned coin quilt. Just the binding left to go! I’m really no expert, but I’ve been asked by some people about the various steps of making a quilt, and as I’m completely self taught (I’ve learned everything from blogs and books!) I thought I’d put all of my [...]
I got this one all finished up and washed! Meandering free motion quilting + a quick wash and dry = crinkly goodness!! It came out much better than I had initially anticipated so I’m really happy about that. It’s the Denyse Schmidt pattern but I made fewer blocks that measured 15″ square, so it now [...]
When you start a day off with the mail delivering this how can you go wrong? Had to get some more of the wonderful Katie Jump Rope (and more) for a commissioned quilt and magically some other lovely (mostly pink) fabric snuck into the order… how did that happen?!? I’m making lots of progress here… [...]
After months of a serious flickr addiction, I’ve decided to take the plunge into blogland. I realized recently that I’m probably one of very few crafters on flickr who’s SO invovled and doesn’t have a blog. Time to change that! Not sure how much I’ll post – and it’s certain to go in waves depending [...]
