We all know I’ve been strip piecing like some kind of fiend, mainly because they go together very quickly, and I don’t have to spend a lot of time sitting, since the disk in my back still hurts. This is the third strip pieced quilt I have done, and I have a couple more to go. This is actually the first top I started, but I just finished putting it together. Now I have to figure out how to quilt it! Wish me luck!
This quilt will be named ‘Hell’s Kitchen’. Between Marvel’s DareDevil and Jessica Jones, I can’t help but feel like I belong in this part of Manhattan. This is the second in a collection of quilts I’m working on to put in the state fair. Now I Just have to figure out how to quilt this… Hmm, I think I’ll watch more Netflix and get ready for season 2 of DareDevil instead! Wish me luck!
Minecraft Creeper has just been added to my Etsy Shop! Lot’s of towels have been running on my embroidery machine lately, and now that I’ve made a few samples of this that I like, I’m putting them in my Etsy store!
So far I have the red part stippled and I have the entire quilt stitched in the ditch, so I’m not sure what to do next… And I still need to find a binding I like… Wish me luck!
BTW, I used a Sulky Blendable to quilt the red part. It’s called ‘Red Brick’, and it is amazing!
Some may fancy me as a modern quilter, but I think I’m rather traditional to be honest. Except today I did make one of these row quilts! They are quite easy, and really fun to make. It took about 2 hours to make the quilt top. I think I spent more time picking out fabric. Right now I have the top sewn in four sections, and I’m debating whether or not to add embellishment embroideries to it, or just leave it as is… Any suggestions?
I’ve been out with a cold, so instead of hanging out with some friends last night, I stayed home and embroidered some towels! I’ve been working on my some new designs, and soon I’ll be adding the Imperial Insignia, The Rebel Insignia, House Stark and House Targaryen to my Etsy shop! Hopefully Once I make a couple of more samples, I’ll take pictures and put them up! Wish me luck!
I hope everyone had a great New Year’s Eve, and I wish everyone the best luck on their new endeavors for 2016!
I took this picture last night, well actually the wee hours of morning. I remember when I only had one order a month… Now I’m pounding out towels and quilts these days; I’m so grateful for all of my customers!
I’m not running behind schedule for the holidays, but I am cutting it close. I was so far ahead until I slipped a disk in my lower back. At least I’m not laid up from it, so I do have to be thankful for that. Well, I’ve got to get ready for work. Wish me luck!
A stranger gave me this the other day. She said if I didn’t want it, I should just throw it out… I could never throw it out, so it’s going into my dresser of quilt tops waiting to be quilted! I’m not sure who this woman was, and I don’t know who made it originally, but I’m really excited to get to finish it! Wish me luck!
The industrial in my basement has been running almost non stop this past week, and so have my embroidery machines! Latest towels I’m working on are 007 and Umbrella Corp! What do you guys think?
I don’t know what happened, but this came into the shop I work at, and I just needed to have it! The price was right, and I was there, and this just ended up in the trunk of my car. Who would have thought that when I started sewing three and a half years ago, I would end up with as many machines as I have now. I’m going to be strip piecing like a fiend! Wish me luck!
