New Projects!
This picture embodies how I feel when my Roommate comes downstairs to say hi.
Now that I’m three weeks in to building a website following, I can focus more on quilting and less on tinkering with the settings. Yay for more time for quilting! This means I have a new laundry list of projects to handle! Hooray!
The List:
Quilt for Vicki! This one is a blooming 9 patch from browns to blues. If I did a normal blooming 9 patch, it would be fun, but not very exciting! I’m not sure how I’m going to spice up the design, but I’ll work on that in the back of my head!
Possibly a commission. Still talking to the person requesting it, so we’ll see about that one.
Have to quilt the Top’s for Miss A, My Muse Miss S, and my best friend TJ, and the one for Quilts of Valor.
I have my Mad Men themed quilt, that is going to be hung in my living room. Not sure on what kind of design yet, but I’m always thinking about that.

Damien’s Quilt is Done!
I just got home, and the first thing I did was pull this beauty out of the dryer! How gorgeous it is! I was bummed at first because I really wanted to do a bright blue binding, but the blue I had n mind I was about 6 square inches short on, and so I had to change my plans! So, instead, I used a green fabric that pops up a few other times in the quilt and I think it really just makes everything pop!
For the backing I went with a nice plaid I had lying around. It’s very comfortable, and it’s really dull and plain, which is a nice contrast to the top of the quilt, being very saturated and bright! I really love the contrast! I also like the way the green binding hits the colors of the backing! I used a nice burgundy thread on the top, and a black thread on the bottom to fade into the plaid. I’m overall very happy with the way it turned out, and now I get to give it to my nephew the next time I see hit! I really hope he’ll like it!

Quilting On Damien’s Quilt Done!
I finished the quilting on Damien’s quilt just now, and I love it even more! I stuck with an asymmetrical theme, since the quilt blocks themselves are rather asymmetrical. I stitched in the ditch along the grid of the quilt and then randomly around other pieces that comprise the blocks. It turned out very nice! I’m sure if I’ll have the time to put the border on, but I just may be able to before the festivities of the evening.
I just wanted to update everyone in case I didn’t have a chance to later. If I do get the binding on in a timely manner, I will straight away through it in the wshing machine, and then post pictures when I come home! I’m so excited to share it with everyone, and even more excited to give it to the little man himself!

What Music Should I Quilt To?
I don’t know about all of you guys out there on the internet, but I really like to listen to some rock while quilting. It goes with the fast pace of the needle hitting the fabric, and I can hear it over the sound of my sewing machine! So for today, I think Linkin Park shall be the music of choice while I quilt this top down!
What does everyone else like to listen to?
Linkin Park
