Hello from the blast furnace of Indiana! Wow, it has been a scorcher! But being inside, I got some sewing done while enjoying the AC.
I finished the quilt top I was working on last week. I have been using up odds and ends that I have found in the sewing studio. I think this pattern is just so easy, using charm packs as a base with a small amount of accent fabrics. Love the fall colors? Comments?
Posting a picture today of the quilt top I made with fabric I found around the sewing area. I am auditioning the outer border fabric...what do you think? The blocks are made using 2 charm squares packs and goes together very quickly. When this is done, back to qulting the flannel baby quilt. It is adorable in pink and chocolate brown. Any comments on the border fabric will be welcomed!
So I decided to take a break from quilting flannel baby quilts-it makes my nose itchy! Anyway, I am on a stash-busting mission, a so-called craft buying "diet". It is my plan to use up lots of my fabric before buying anything new. (Who does that?) So I am posting a picture of a block made using the "Charms Gone Wild" pattern. Here is the first block:
I finished two more this evening and I will try to post them as I finish. I have no earthly idea what I should use for the sashing! Any suggestions will be welcome after I post the other blocks. Well, teenager needs a snack. TTFN
This is the baby quilt I finished. I did a loopy free motion stitch in the sun, moon, clouds area. It is a flannel quilt, so soft and comfy!
Wow, I am on a mission to finish projects around here so that I can get organized! I put a label on a T-shirt quilt that was a graduation gift, and quilted AND bound a baby quilt for church. I just sandwiched another baby quilt for church. I am on a UFO busing mission and nothing will stop me! Now, another friend is requesting a T-shirt quilt...what to do?
Well, the students are counting down the days until summer vacation! Do you think the teachers are doing the same thing? I am working on a few projects in my spare time, when I am not writing finals and grading papers....
So, I finished 3 quilted purses last month and I have started working on a T-shirt quilt for a June graduation. Busy, busy, busy, but that keeps me out of trouble. I am also watching my son's track meets and my daughter's softball games. We are finally seeing some beautiful sunny weather, after weeks of soaking rains. Spring in the midwest has its ups and downs.
I am having some camera issues, so I will post all of the promised pictures very soon. Any tips on whether someone should get an ipod touch or just suck it up and get an iphone?
Well, school has kept me so busy that I haven't had a chance to post in some time. As soon as I recharge my camera batteries (can't find the second set that is already charged...) I will post a picture. It is from Tammy Tadd Designs and is call Savoir Flaire. It is a cutie in blues, yellows and apple green. I had trouble finding a suitable trim for it, but we only have a small JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby here. I guess the next one I make, I will have to road trip to a bigger store, or hit some online shops. So what are you making today?
