I’ve Been So Busy – Hand Dyed Quilt

There is no rest for the wicked, and there are none more wicked than I! At least when it comes to quilting projects anyways. I’ve been having a blast in my basement! I’ve been having so much fun, I forgot to clue everyone in on the things I’ve been doing. Well, take a seat, and let me fill you in!

Firstly, I started working on this quilt made with black commercial fabric, and then hand dyed fabric from dye plants that my friend grew herself! If that isn’t awesome, I don’t know what is! The quilt is called “Garden Blocks”.

Secondly, I’ve been working on another art quilt. It was going to be a rose, but then somehow it morphed into a dying star… The project is called “Solar Flair”, and I’ll be posting about that later today!

Thirdly, I’ve been having more fun with fabric paint! I’ll post some of that tomorrow.

Lastly, I’ve been looking into using Gel Plates to do some fun fabric printing. I think I might have to make one!

Wish me luck!

I Present “It’s Dangerous To Go Alone”

After about 20 hours of work, it’s finally bound ready to be hung on the wall! It shouldn’t be there for long though, as I’m filling out the application for the Shipshewana Quilt show in Indiana this summer! Then after that, it’s going in the Lake County Fair in Crown Point, In.  I’m not sure after that, but I’m so proud of it, and I love the way it turned out! I was really lucky to not have had trouble with the paint, as it was my first time using it in this application. I just love it! After the shows, I’m putting it up for sale, but to be honest, I kind of want to keep it! Wish me luck!

Baby Quilt Done!

It’s been a pretty busy month! I started getting ready for the Lake County Fair. I’m entering quite a few pieces! The only one I have to finish is the art quilt “It’s Dangerous To Go Alone”, and I’m almost done with that as of this afternoon! Last week I made this baby quilt for a dear friend of mine, and I didn’t want to post it until after the baby shower. So, here it is!

I want make a larger version of this for my couch!

“It’s Dangerous To Go Alone”

I’m almost through with my new piece, “It’s Dangerous To Go Alone”. There is still the silhouette of a little boy walking into the woods that has to be embroidered, but after that, I’ll be picking out backings! Now if I can only get the thing to stay flat! I’ll have to pick up some fusible interfacing for it. I’m really excited! Wish me luck!

A Legend Of Zelda Art Quilt

Last week at my quilt guild, we had Denise Havlan speak about her art quilts, and it was quite inspiring! So Yesterday I decided to get started on one. It’s called “It’s Dangerous To Go Alone”. Eventually it will be the Lost Woods from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I still have to add the trees and then embroider the silhouette of young link walking into the woods alone. Hopefully it will only take a couple more days! Wish me luck!

Making A Baby Quilt

The border still has to be added, and then quilted, but I’m making good progress on the latest baby quilt. I made one similar to this before, and this one is for a boy, so instead of green, purple, red, and orange, this one crosses the color spectrum from orange to blue, and it’s going to have a camouflage flannel border and backing. Hopefully it wll get quilted and bound today, but  that has to wait until after I run some errands! Wish me luck!
