Here is what I have for Dual Star. I’m a little bummed I have to pack it up and out it away for the next couple of days while I work on this Zelda commission, but I think absence will make the heart grow fonder! I’m sure that I will just jump right back into it! I really love this turquoise fabric, so I’m using it in my Zelda commission as well. Wish me luck, because I have an awful lot of things to do this week! Oh, and I start my new job! 😉
Okay, so I’ve had to pack up Dual Star, because I’ve gotten a new commission. It’s going to be a queen size Zelda quilt. On the order form he selected blue, so here are the shades of blue for the background. I have everything going from a medium blue to navy. I think it will all blend very well! The bird and the Triforce are going to be gold, and I think it will contrast nicely against the blue. Wish me luck!
I started to lay out all for the pieces so I can sew them together! This is the longest process of all, but soon I will have about a quarter of the quilt top done, and then I have to wrap it up and put it a box for now. I just sold another quilt and I have to start work on that!
So last night I started my next quilting project. I’m already in love with the way the background it shaping up. Now just to add the bursts of color! I’m so in love with it! I decided to use all different browns and tans as I think it adds some major texture! Fingers crossed it turns out okay!

So everyone remembers Frozen Star. Well this is kind of like that, but different. Instead of one star, it’s going to be two. The background if going to be tan and brown. I’m not sure if I’m going to make both stars the same color or make each star a different color. What do you guys think? I’m either going to do both stars in turquoise, or one purple and one turquoise.
I did it! It is complete and ready to be mailed out tomorrow! I’m in love with it! It makes me miss living in Minnesota a little! Not that I’m a football fan or anything, but it just reminds me of Minnesota. I’m super happy I went with gold thread. It really makes the sashing pop!

At first I was planning on just stitching in the ditch, but then I decided to do that and also to stipple! I’m in love with it already! You like?
I’m about to start the quilting on this quilt, but I can;t decide if I want to go purple or gold on thread. I’m just stitching in the ditch, and then an outline of the body in the border. What do you guys think?
I finally did it! Between waiting on fabric, and then returning fabric, and then finding out they never had the right fabric and re-ordering it from a different vendor, and then that fabric being delayed by the weather, it took me quite a while to piece this! I will at least start the quilting today. I wanted to start it last night, but I ended up going to a class for embroidery software this morning, and yesterday I had the job interview. I’ve just been running around a mile a minute. Now that I am back home and sewing, I know I can power through a big chunk of this tonight! Wish me luck!
