I made this quick and simple Halloween Quilt top… Although, the more I look at it, the more I want to use it as a quilt backing. Hmmm, decisions, decisions. I really like the spider web fabric, and the green fabrics I picked out. I did the one in light green, just as an accent piece. I still don’t know if I want this as a simple quilt top, or a backing.. Wish me luck!
I powered through this quilt! I think I’ve gone berserk, but I finished it start to finish in less than a 24 hour period. I’ve only ever done that with really simple quilts! This was so much fun to make, and I have extra left over to make some awesome matching pillows! What do you guys and gals think?
I love love love the look of hexagons! I’m an even bigger fan of their geometry! I’m quite the mathematician if you didn’t know! I love them, but I haven;t got the time or energy to do one of those exquisite paper pieced quilts! I love them to death, but paper piecing is not for me! I’m a little too rough and tumble when it comes to quilting for that. So I saw a table runner that had this same kind of general motif and I thought, “Well, hell. I can make a quilt from that idea!” So I did. I sat down, did the math figured out what my pieces should be and I cut away! Tell me what you think! I still have the bottom half to put on, but it is almost done! Wish me luck!
For the longest time I had this UFO sitting in my closet. I designed it when I first started quilting as a wedding present to my cousin and his wife. However, it was a tad bit beyond my skill set two and a half years ago, and it got shelved. I was not good at y-seams. Now 30 months later I was rifling around in my closet looking for some red fat quarters for the Red blooming 9 patch I’m working on, and I found the box with the quilt contents. I popped it open and though… “Well, I’ve got the skills no, so no more excuses!”
I finished sewing it together in about 3 hours. I took it from a bunch of cut pieces to something completed. Now I just need to add some embroideries to the quilt top. Not sure what though… We’ll see.
Wish me luck!
I’ve been binge watching “Hot Wet American Summer: First Day of Camp” on Netflix. It’s so bad, it’s good! Also while this amazing senseless drivel is pouring out of my laptop speakers, I’ve been sewing away on this Blooming 9 Patch! I just love the red-work vibe it’s giving off! The customer who ordered it said Red and White and do what I want. I’m so happy when people give me creative license. I feel so awesome about this quilt! I’ve almost got it all together, and hopefully I’ll start quilting it by tonight! Wish me luck!
I’ve been working on these for a sample quilt for work. Since I can’t do much sewing because of the pain in my neck from the Bell’s Palsy, I’ve been doing some embroidery. I think these are just the cutest! I’ve done a couple on purple and yellow flannel, and it’s just as cute! I’ll be posting picture later this week.
Shades of grey are the background for this quilt. It’s going to be a Legend of Zelda commission, and the center it’s going to be sky blue! I’m so excited!
I started working on the piecing of my new quilt. I’m calling it a modified rail fence quilt. I have to add in a few 9 patch blocks, and a few solid squares as well. I just love the way the colors blend together! I think I might add in a bit more purple to it. We’ll see though. I still have a lot of strip pieced strata to cut into blocks. Hopefully I’ll have something to post later tonight! Wish me luck!
I did it! I finished the Mario themed throw quilt. Now I have to go and buy the fabric to make a Mario themed twin size quilt with a pillow sham. I’m so excited! I’m also buying a new machine soon, so I cannot wait to get started! I have to make a fabric run later today! I’m so excited to get back into sewing! The next one will include Luigi and the Red Mushroom! I cannot wait!
