This post is part of the Travellin’ Pic Stitch Blog Hop. From 1st October – 30th November we are hopping all over the world EPP-ing in some fantastic locations. Check out the full list here and be sure to check out the other participants.
Life is crazy ’round here these days! I’m drowning in fabric to be sewn into samples for Quilt Market (luckily it’s awesome fabric), and my WONDERFUL husband surprised me with a last minute ticket to Sewing Summit! Excited does NOT adequately express my feelings right now. totally worth the all-nighters I’m going to have to pull to get stuff done before and after. In the mean time, I’ve been working on hand sewing every chance I can get! I have a bunch of pics to post, at some point, including (finally) my finished Tangerine Tango quilt!
But on to the bloghop!
we live about 2 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, and my kiddos have a favorite playground on the bluffs, so we went down at sunset last week, and I made the hubs get involved… he took these pictures:
I took the yellow, pink, and purply-blues, and made this piece:
and, since The Bean is already worrying about me leaving, last night I quilted it up into a pillow for her. I like to pretend that I’m Angela Walters when I FMQ, so I totally copied her and did these super tight lines on the blue feathers.
I quilted big petals everywhere. I added in The Bean’s name, just because I felt like it.
and that’s my finished project! hopefully she feels loved even though I’m gone (it’s a whopping 4 day (3 night) trip, but she’s only 3, after all). And isn’t it pretty?
I think I put her name on it so I couldn’t keep it myself. 😉
