Valentine blocks!
I pieced the valentines blocks for the teacher-gift bags I’m hoping to make tomorrow. I actually took a long nap, so I have energy to keep going, but I wanna photograph the steps, so I have to wait till tomorrow. But I got the blocks done, so I’m counting it a a done project. I […]
A sweet birthday present…
We’ve got some little girl birthdays coming up, so I decided to use some of my Anne Kelle lollipop and ice cream cone scraps (I think… It’s all a blur from market) with some random other scraps to work on this zippered bag idea again… Last time the zipper was too high, this time it’s […]
Valentines motivation
As a pregnant, SAHM of 2 littles, I’m not having much energy to sew at night these days… But I really want to make up some valentines bags for our preschool teachers… I cut these strips this morning, and am hoping that by posting these this morning, I’ll feel obliged to whip up some pieced/quilted […]
Beach School baby blanket
Here’s another item up for auction(made at retreat). The fabric is most of a Remix charm pack, (arranged so helpfully by Lori), bordered in Kona White, and again with backing supplied by the always wonderful Liberty. (It’s a Riley Blake dot print), bound in a pretty Kona aqua color… I quilted it in double diagonal […]
Beach School placemats
Robert Kaufman donated some awesome stuff for the fundraiser at my kids’ school… An old (but unused) market quilt, some aprons, and some fabric precuts. As far as I know (and it’s a small school, so I do know), I’m the only one who sews. So I took the pre-cuts to the guild retreat, and […]
Does anyone wanna scrap-bust with me?
Everyone seems to be scrapbusting in the new year, and I admit, I’m caught by the bug too. I have MUCH too much fabric. The problem is, most of the designs I like either rely on lots of a main fabric (which defeats my goal of using up lots of leftover fabric) or rely […]
Fall colors
My grapes are so beautiful right now. I loooove these red red leaves. They totally inspired my color choice on my new quilt block, Crossette: Of course, living in SoCal, our fall weather is still tank-top friendly, and I was able to play, barefoot, on my “design wall” (my front lawn).
Hangover
I’m recovering from my all-nighter last night (3 hours counts as zero hours, according to my friend Jenny), but last night and today were TOTALLY worth it.Thus afternoon was the monthly weekend sew for my guild, which is always a good time. I got all the blocks cut and pieced for the Drunkards Path baby […]
Quilt in progress
I finished the Asian print quilt last night, but I have these pics of the process to share. The quilt pattern is Seville by CluckCluckSew, and it is GORGEOUS.160 little (2″) HSTs, fitted into larger blocks, totally worth it. My cathedral windows quilt is a little bit challenging as a design wall, but look how […]
Inspiration…
I’ve been shooting iPhone pics of designs I like, and I thought I’d share them… Um. Yeah, maybe I shouldn’t show pics I’ve taken while driving at high speeds. Moving right along… (pun sort of intended) I finished the Swoon quilt for Robert Kaufman yesterday, and, um– I might have gotten carried away with the […]
