So, I started this lap quilt with the blooming bias… I’m really hoping it turns out well. I’ve never done anything quite like it before. I’m not really an embellishments type of person, but we’ll see how it turns out! Hopefully it doesn’t look too hideous!
I’ve never used it before, but I’m going to do something with it, not sure what, but something! I was thinking about an accent for a quilt, but I’m not sure how I’m going to use it, and on what quilt block. Anyone have any ideas?
I feel so happy I managed to finish the table runner, but also somewhat silly. I did not measure the fabric properly, and it is too large to fit on my dresser. It hangs over about 3 inches, and I just don’t like that at all. There are mirrors on the back of the dresser, so it hangs off the front, and then you can’t see the handles on the drawers and I’m just not feeling it… not feeling it at all. So I’m sending it in the mail to Ray’s Sew Crafty. She said she has plenty of dressers to put it on, so I’m happy it is going to a good place!
I finished the Fireflower late last night, and then later today I’m going to do either Mario and Luigi, or The Green and Red Mushrooms. I do work in the morning, so I’m not sure how my day is going to go, but I did some fun sewing yesterday, and pictures and articles are soon to come!
So, I got this commission about two weeks ago, and haven’t had time to start it. I’ve got one block down, and I have five to go and then make a matching pillowcase. I cut all of the fabric and just have to piece it together! Wish me speed! I need to send it out by the 26th, so I have time, but I have many other things I have to do. No rest for the wicked! After this, I’m going to play around with some blooming bias!
I said I was going to be productive and here I am trying my hardest! I just started the binding on my table runner, but now I have to leave to go to a doctor’s appointment, but when I come back, I’m going to finish the binding and then start on my next quilt! I promise! I cannot wait to put this on my dresser! First, I’ll have to clean my dresser! Then some yard work too. Busy buys busy! No rest for the wicked! Wish me luck on my productive day off!
Here they are! I know it’s been a while, but now that I have a day off, I’m going to really get this back on track! Here is the first of many to come this weekend!
Follow the jump for more shenanigans! Continue reading
I started this table runner a few days ago, and didn’t get around to finishing it until last night. (I’ll post some pictures of the finished quilting when I put on the binding.) I decided to go with a non-uniform theme, for no reason, but just because I did not feel like being accurate while cutting it. Yes, sometimes my artistic side shows through brightest in the face if true laziness! I finished the quilting and now I just have to bind it, but then I got distracted by Sunday night TV. Nurse Jackie, Game of Thrones, Drop Dead Diva, and Once Upon A Time. It was a good Sunday for tv watching!
You all know I love them, and here is one I just finished! It is just a simple rail fence block, but I used some fun fabrics! I love how loud and obnoxious it is! I did some stippling in light purple thread, just to tie in some of the purple tones in the fabric. I think the colors might blend a tad bit too well, and some of the definition is lost, but I’ll get over it! It will be on my bed soon enough anyways!
