I’m finally feeling better! I’ve still been hacking up something terrible, but between the herbal peach tea and the Legend of Zelda Games, I’m feeling better! I have a few errands to run, but once I do that I will start the quilting on my new quilt! I’m so excited! Also, I got the hover boots in Ocarina of Time… as a kid! (Only my video game oriented followers will get that.)

I totally ended up working up a sweat pinning this quilt. It was tres exhausting. I’m about to crash back in bed, and later tonight I think I’m going to make mini-pizzas in my toaster oven. That sounds delightful! Maybe I’ll even start quilting this later today, but that is a big IF.
I just finished the piecing for another Zelda Quilt. This one if for a loyal follower of the blog and I’m going to be so happy when I mail it out tomorrow!
Still working on a name, but I can tell everyone that currently I am designing a set of quilts to be ready for the new year. They are going to be nerd themed, and so far on the docket we have:
So tell me internet readers, what else would you like to see me make?
It was made some months ago, but never quilted. Story of my life, but I finally got around to it. I decided to use a Chicago Bears backing, as my best friend is a huge Bears fan! I hope he will like it. I might even get a chance to spirit it away to him tomorrow! I decided to juxtapose purple thread against the earthtoned and gold quilt. I thought it would make it pop! Let’s hope it does!

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!

As I have told everyone already, I got a commission on Etsy to do another Zelda themed quilt, and I’m super excited to say that it took me less an 1 day to make the top! I feel like a star! I started it at 2pm Yesterday and finished the top around 11am today. I think it looks quite nice! What about everyone else?

I feel like a rising star! I’m so happy! Nothing gets me in a better mood than having someone think my quilts are so cool, that they want to get up off some money to have one! I have sold another Zelda Quilt, and I’m so happy about it! I’m going to go and buy the fabric I need tomorrow, but might even start cutting the pieces I have today! I am so happy! I hope the customer will be too!
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!

I finished the top late last night. Boy, this one was quite a bit of work, but I think that was mostly due to its size. The woman I am making it for said she loved it so far, so that made me quite happy! I cannot wait to quilt it and get it in the mail to her so she can see it and touch it!
I decided to go with a dark burgundy back, because… well, I thought it looked hot in comparison to the front. I think it really sets it off, and for the binding, I am doing a solid black… but that may change, because I already have a new idea for it looming in the background of my mind, so we’ll see!
