Both the Pattern, and the Quilt Itself have been ordered! Well, not the actual quilt, as that one is already taken, but a custom order one can be made just for you!

I got a package in the mail today!!!! At first I was very confused. I looked at the packing slip and it said Joann Fabrics. I was really confused. I hadn’t ordered anything from them, and then I noticed the Gift Message on the receipt. It was from my Aunt and Uncle. They had sent me a roll of Warm and Natural Quilt Batting! It was the most thoughtful gift ever! I was so excited, I ran up stairs with it, and almost took it out of the box, but then I thought, “No Eric! Finish this other quilt first! Then play with your new batting!” So, I want to take it out of the box and play with it, but I’ve got to finish this quilt I’m working on. I didn’t get home until really late last night, so I didn’t do any work then, and then I had therapy this morning, so I’m about to hop back on it, and then I’m going to dinner with my old neighbor! I’m so excited!

I’ve been messing around with my Janome, and I’ve finally gotten used to sewing on it! I must say, dropping the feed dogs makes my life so much easier! After about 3 hours of messing around, I started to quilt the Square Spiral quilt. (I’m still working on a title for that pattern.) I’m just doing some small stippling, and using the thread that corresponds to that section’s fabric color. It’s looking tight! I’m going to bed though, and I’ll post more pictures tomorrow once I quilt more!

I’m just so happy I could die! I got it today! I went and picked it up, and I’m just so excited! I’ve already been sewing on it. I’ve been making a binding for the Square Spiral quilt, and I’m just in love with it! I just ordered more feet for it. A darning foot, and a walking foot, and an assortment of other feet! I’m just so in love! we are already best friends!

The queen size quilt pattern for my Frozen Star quilt is now on Etsy!

Check it out!

So, I’m tragically in love with this quilt, and it has to leave my possession as soon as I quilt it, which is sad, but I’m happy it will be in a good home! The border really brings out the quilt pattern and I’m really digging it! I like the colors, and it makes me want to replicate one for myself, but unfortunately it is not on my list of top 5 quilts I want for myself, so it could be years before I do it for myself. We shall see though! I’m feeling rather inspired!
