I’m teaching a class at work on how to make a bargello quilt! I’ve done one before, and now I’m making a very modern looking one with some very gorgeous fabrics! I can’t wait to cut my strips later tonight! Although, I’m wondering if I should do something even more modern with different size strips, or if I should just stick with the same size strips… We’ll see!
I finally got around to finishing this gorgeous quilt! It is my first embroidery quilt, so I was nervous about how it would turn out. I actually thought it would be kind of bland, but it ended up so cute! I think the fabric choices I made turned out great! Now I have to get working on a Bargello, so I’ll be back later! Kisses!
I’ve been working on making a wreath of stand alone leaves. They are so cute! They are crazy time consuming though! I’ve been doing layers with ribbon and lace and I’ve made a couple more that I’ll post later. What do you guys think so far?
I’ve gotten such an amazing response from posting the latest Chenille Throw Pillows I’ve been working on, I decided I should post a tutorial! So here it is! I hope everyone enjoys it! Continue reading
I finished another commission yesterday! I wanted to get it out in the mail on Friday, but I finished it so late Friday night I had to mail it out today! The person who bought it will still get it on Monday, so I’m very happy! I hope she will like it too! It’s actually very similar to the one I did right before this one. I had a lot of the same fabric left over, and I was originally going to make it for my friend, but I wanted his to be a slightly different color scheme. Anywho, now I have to quilt another one this weekend, but at least that is just a large throw!
I’ve been playing around with some of the newer notions we got in at work, and I saw these pre-cut interfacing pieces for place mats, and I just could not help myself! I made a reversible one. One side is fall, and one side is summer! What do you think? I think my next one will be one side Thanksgiving, and one side Christmas! For the applique leaf, I used gold polyester lace I had stashed somewhere in my sewing room. The edge was satin stitched with an over-edge foot, so they are super washable!
