Spinning Squares Quilt Is Quilter… Now To Bind It

I know this took me forever, but after being sick there is just so much to catch up on. My sewing room looks like a bomb went off in it, and that bomb was filled with scraps of fabric, paper, and all sorts of sewing accoutrements. Hopefully I’ll be able to bind it, and launder it today, so it can be shipped out on Friday. I’m still trying to decide on whether to use one of the colors from inside the blocks, or to use the purple I used for sashing… Decisions, decisions… I’ll also be posting this design to my Etsy Page sometime in the near future. Wish me luck!

I’ve Added Sashing To Spinning Strips Quilt

It took a while, but I finally picked out the sashing. I couldn’t decide on one, so I picked two. I think one of them is going to be the border. Not sure which one though. I’ll have to see. I decided to have the blocks spin in opposing directions, and I think that was wise a choice.

I Started The Design Of My Latest Quilt

So, I wasn’t quite sure what to do for this quilt. I had wanted to do something with Jelly rolls for a while and figured I would cut my own and see what I can do. This design popped into my head around 4:30am and I just ran with it! I’m going to use some kind of sashing, but not sure on the color yet. What does everyone think?

I’m Cutting The Fabric For My Next Quilt

It took me a while, but I finally got all the fabrics together and started cutting them for this amazing quilt! I’m super excited to start on it tonight. I can’t quite explain the design, but once I start it, I’ll post lots of pictures! Also, I think this is my first time using Jelly Roll size strips in a project. We’ll see how it turns out! Wish me luck!

I’ve Just Been Sick As A Dog, But I Still Made A Pillow

Man, this flu has hit me pretty hard. It’s like I’m short of breath after sewing for 5 minutes. This needs to be over quickly! In the mean time, I did make this gorgeous throw pillow! I even started work on my next commission quilt. I think it is going to be fabulous! Here are some pictures of the pillows, and later I’ll post the fabric for the new quilt.

Playing With The Embroidery Machines At Work

Well, I’ve been making some stuff for the store I work at, and I wanted to work with some variegated thread. I’m beyond in love! I also played around with Viking’s 6D software… It’s actually pretty easy. I designed the 2 hearts, and the “When You Wish…” piece myself. It was actually surprisingly easy. Follow the jump for more pictures of the threads close up! Continue reading →

My Fabric Order Came In

Well, most of it anyways. It got stuck in the bad weather in the Northeast and I had to wait for it. I’m still waiting for a bolt of light lime colored fabric so I can start on a commission quilt I have. I’m also going to use the purple and orange for the curtains in my bedroom! I’m so excited! I’m going to watch Mr. Nobody and get a cutting on the fabric I have. Wish me luck!
