Today I really wanted to do some sewing, so I made a quick dinner by grilling some hotdogs, and now I am onto sewing! I’ve been sewing for a couple of hours and I’ve gotten quite a bit done! Now it’s time to lay out the quilt and start the piecing process. This part always takes a while, but it’s a lot of strips, so it isn’t that hard! Hopefully I’ll get this corner done by the time I go to bed! Wish me luck!
This is the 6th Zelda quilt commission I’ve gotten, and I think I am becoming a pro at making these! I already have the fabric picked out and tonight I am going to be piecing them together! Wish me luck! I still have to find fabric for the center, but I’ll get to that later!
I finished the pillow shams! And they look great with my quilt! I just need to finish the matching throw pillows! I’m thinking about making myself another one with this pattern that is a throw size quilt, and some throw pillows so I can have them on the couch in the front room. Also, I’m starting a new quilt for my bed. This one is going to be bright and summery! I’m not sure of the pattern yet, but I did pick out the fabrics! I’m just so excited! So much to do, so little time!
I did it! I finished it last night, but was too lazy to post it. I have today off from work, so it is catch up day on all things Blog and housework related! Lots of cleaning, but hopefully I can get lots of sewing done too! I think I am going to start the quilting on this quilt later today. I’m using backing fabric, so I don’t have any more piecing to do for that. All I have to do is cut the batting off the roll, and cut and sew the binding. I feel so ahead of the game!
I did this late last night. I had some paperwork to go over right when I got home, but then I got crackin’ on my sewing machine. It took me a couple of hours, but I got this third done. So, now I have two thirds of the quilt top done. Hopefully I’ll finish the top this weekend, and start the quilting. I’m getting really excited!

Since I worked yesterday, and when I got home I had a few things to do around the house, I didn’t sew anything. Today I’m catching up on a few things. Once of those things is my current Zelda Commission. I did the first third of it 2 days ago, and now I’m onto the middle section. I’m loving the blending effect of the blues!

I did it! I hit my goal for the night. I was up late doing this, but it was so worth it. Now that it is out of the way I won’t be thinking about it at work. Now that it is bright and early I’m going to go and get ready for work. I love the way the blues blend in the background. At first I thought my blues all had a little too much contrast, but they all blended quite nicely. The golds blended was too. Tonight after work I should be able to get the next third pieced, but we’ll see how tired I am.
I made a little headway today. I was at work all day, and then came home and Skyped with my cousin and my nephew… they are too cute! Anyways. I started to piece this out again, and I’m slowly adding to it. Hopefully I will finish the piecing on this third tonight. I start my new job tomorrow so I doubt I’ll have time tomorrow. Wish me luck tonight!
It’s looking lovely! I’ve been kind of working all day, but to be honest, I’ve also been watching a lot of BBC. My goodness I love some British people! They make amazing TV! Hit and Miss… truly amazing! Not for all people to watch, but it’s kind of awesome! Anyways, back to the quilt. I’ve been piecing the quilt on and off all day. I love the way the blue blends together. At first, I was a bit worried that the blues were all too different, but I like the way it ended up looking. Hopefully I’ll have at least a third of the top pieced tonight, but I won’t hold my breath.
