Finished The Top… Now To Quilt It!

I finished the top late last night. Boy, this one was quite a bit of work, but I think that was mostly due to its size. The woman I am making it for said she loved it so far, so that made me quite happy! I cannot wait to quilt it and get it in the mail to her so she can see it and touch it!

I decided to go with a dark burgundy back, because… well, I thought it looked hot in comparison to the front. I think it really sets it off, and for the binding, I am doing a solid black… but that may change, because I already have a new idea for it looming in the background of my mind, so we’ll see!

I’ve been trying to get it done in a timely manner because the buyer is such a sweet person I don’t want to make her wait too long! I should be done with the top later tonight, and I just went and bought the fabric for the backing and I plan to pin it and start quilting it tomorrow! Fingers crossed!!!

I Finally Made Some Christmas Coasters!!!

I did it! I finally got around to making these darn Christmas coasters. I still have Mug Rugs, and Pot Holders to make, but these are a start. With the move and everything it was quite chaotic, but things have settled down a little bit and I was able to sit down and make these! I’m so excited!

I’ve done about 30 of them, and I want to do a couple of hundred by the end of next week! Here’s to hoping!

Like My First Real sewing Project?

While unpacking today I found this pillow, which was one of my first sewing projects and I’m still madly in love with it. I thought it would be so cute to take some old button up shirts and make a cute little pillow out of it! It took me about an hour or so, and I think it is one of the cutest things I have ever made! It even has a pocket!

New zelda Quilt In The Works….

As some people already know, especially if they follow my facebook page, the Zelda quilt I made is quite popular and now, I have another order placed for one! This one is going to be quite a bit of fun as the background is a couple of different colors. It’s going to be a blend of greys, charcoals, and then some darker red, blue, and green! I’m really excited for this quilt!

I’ve finally got all of the fabric cut to make my coasters and pot holders. These are all of the cut pieces for coasters, and I have a lot of the same fabrics cut in larger squares for pot holders and mug rugs. I don’t know about anyone else but this is putting in the mood for some holiday cheer! AKA: Eggnog and Ginger Cookies!
