Now that precious Damien’s quilt top is done, it is time to move on to one for my little Miss A, my roommates daughter! She’s getting a quilt that is purple, pink, and hints of lime green and electric blue to make everything pop! Not quite sure on the design, but I’m working on that in my mind’s eye as I type. In fact I’m eying the fabric pile I have next to me on my bed and I can see what I want! Once again, all jewel tones, with nice saturated color! Still can;t come up with a design I’m digging quite yet, but I’m working on it. Let me find my graph paper and get started, but in the mean time let me gather the fabrics and take a picture so everyone will know my starting point!

If anyone is having problems with the pictures on this site, I am terribly sorry, but I’m doing a little bit of media maintenance, so there is nothing to fear! All the pictures will be back up very soon!

About a week ago, I applied to be registered on a Blog called Quilting Blogs.

Basically, it’s awesome because, it means your blog has some kind of substance that they would post your bloglettes on their site. Secondly, it means more traffic for my site! More hits, and more clicks, which means I can get revenue, from adverts. I know, I’m money hungry, but hey, I like what I do and I’m trying to make a living off of it!

So, I just wanted to let everyone know how awesome I am, and that you can seem my work as well as many other inspirational quilting works. So check it out!

Now, I know I am supposed to be working on one for my nephew Damien, but I was just going through some old work, and found pictures of the quilt I made for my other nephew Mr. J.

I made this about 8 months ago, and finished quilting it about 2 months ago. I saw the puzzle pattern on a magazine somewhere, and thought, “Oh, That’s cute!”, and I made a pattern for the block and next thing I know, I started sewing! Now, I did make a few errors when I started this. I started piecing blocks and then I realized some of them can’t match up because of the coloring. I felt like a fool. So, I ripped some seams, and started again. I think it still turned out okay! I wish I took a picture of the back before I sent it to him, but hindsight is always 20/20. I’m thinking about doing a similar pattern for my nephew Damien, but I think I might do a twist with his, and spice it up quite a bit! So, once I settle on a color scheme, I will update all of you on my next one, but I figured I could share this one with everyone, since I am looking at it for inspiration!

As I said in an earlier post about my upcoming projects, this one was high on the priority list. It has been sitting in a bag in my closet for over a month and half, and I cannot stand the thought of it being there, untouched. I recently pulled it out when I decided it belonged on my priority list! It’s going to be a pond for someone who used to be a neighbor of mine. She and I recently reconnected when I was back in Indiana for my Grandfather’s Funeral, and we’ve been emailing each other for a while now, and I decided this is for her! I had pretty much everything in a 2 by 2 diamond, and now It is slowly being pieced together and it feels sooooooo good to be back on the horse! It is a diamond block, and it is the first time I am working with them. I gave up on the quilt top almost 2 months ago when I became annoyed with the way the diamonds sewed. After a while I remembered I never give up, and I am currently diving back into it! Get it,’ pond’, ‘diving’… Oh well.  Anywho, click below to see more pictures of my work!
