After a week and a half of slaving over a hot sewing machine, I have managed to make this gorgeous quilt! I really hope the customer likes it! I went with blacks, greys, and charcoals to make the background and then golds and yellows for the Triforce and bird. I finished quilting it early this morning, but then had to run to work and then did some more work at a coffee shop with a crafting friend. I am tuckered out! So, here is the beautiful quilt!

Now that I have made about 200 coasters, I have turned my attention to mug rugs, and later this week I’ll start my pot holders! I’m really excited for a few craft fairs going on in the next few months that I am a part of. Since I want to make sewing my job, instead of just my hobby, I need to work on making some of the more easily affordable things instead of just quilts, so here is to working on Christmas stuff for the holiday season!
I finally finished the quilt top! I’m also mildly in love with it. I think it is typically something I would find too cheery, but I know my Dad will love it, so I’m happy! I think I’ll quilt it this weekend and give it to him as an early birthday present. I hope he likes it!
I’ll post more pictures tomorrow evening!

Much love being felt right now!
I finally finished the most beautiful quilt in the world! Well, maybe that is slightly overreaching. I ended up doing a variegated thread on the top of gold, green, and burnt orange, and then orange on the back! I absolutely love it! I hope the client will too!

Today has been a very productive day! I finished the Etsy Zelda Quilt! Currently it is in the washing machine, and I’ll post pictures after it is washed! I quilted it with grey thread, and then used a fun bright backing! I’m really digging it and hope the Etsy customer will too!

Just finished the quilt top late last night, and today I am quilting it and putting on the binding! I’m quite excited for it to be done! Now that the top is all pieced, I’m so excited to start quilting it. All I need to do is find a backing and start pinning!

Finally made some progress on this quilt! After a week of mild setbacks, I made quite a bit of headway this week. After a broken AC which made ironing quite annoying, and the treads on my machine not working properly. There was a hunk of thread stuck in the back of the treads under the plate, so I had to do quite a bit of digging to find it, and vacuumed it out! I love my shop vac, it is the only thing powerful enough to get everything out. I really should clean my machine more often! Haha! One of these days, right?
Anyhow, this quilt is my first Etsy sale, and I want it to be perfect, and I didn’t want to half-ass any part of it. So I waited until my conditions improved and now I rocked it amazingly! I love the way they greys come together and make a weathered stone feel. The last one I did was supposed to be a weathered landscape look, so I used greens, browns, and greys. That gave the illusion of mossy rocks and dirt, but this grey stone one is equally as beautiful! I’m really proud of it, and I cannot wait to finish it and get it in the mail for my first customer! I hope she’ll love it!!!

I finished it! It took me all day, but I finally quilted it and put the binding on! I really hope my roommate will like it! It’s currently in the washing machine! I’ll post pictured of once it dries!
