Just Wing It

Also to try this week, flying geese...

"Just Wing It" just made me think of it... and then I thought, "eh, why not?"

But when someone (momo) designs that beautiful of a fabric... it has to be a whole quilt back. HAS TO BE. haha.

They ended up at baby quilt size.

And to continue on with my new tiny half square triangle obsession...

A rainbow - also a first for me - in Just Wing It.
Love this one.
It's just so happy.
More later...
These are in the shop.

Charlevoix

Had a little fun with some new things this past week.

First up, a scalloped edge.

I've had the tool for making these lovely edges for months now but I've been slightly intimidated by them.

Only because I didn't want to leave what I knew worked already.

Well, you can't play it safe forever.

Up next, diamonds.

I saw this really cute blog picture and tutorial of an argyle pillow.

I thought to myself, "self, that argyle looks pretty easy, and I can quilt the crossing lines."

I really didn't think this one through very well.

Turns out diamonds are incredibly tedious to pin and sew... incredibly.

Especially when you make them this small.

But I like the look so well, I'd do it again.

They look like a wonderful picnic at the park to me!

More pics in the shop.

Ooo, and I have more to post in a minute.

Time for a break

Just thought I'd share - finally.

He made it, perfectly, on Jan. 12, 2011.

Kayson Ellis Stanworth, 7 lbs. 0 oz. and 20 inches.

Me bundling him up in his quilt. I love it all around him. He is such a sweet little guy. He's everything I wanted!

I also crocheted this little hat for him - he gets cold so easily!

And now I guess I'll have my "maternity leave" from the sewing machine - I'm actually sending it out for a "tune up" which will take about 3 weeks.

And then... oh my! I'm sure I'll have more ideas and projects stored up that I'll be dying to do!

Christmas is Coming...

And I'm not even ready for Halloween yet!
I still have to make my daughter's costume.
But this one made me so happy to make.
Merry Christmas!

In the shop (with more pictures).

More Arcadia - in Hexagons

Well, I warned you I couldn't stop playing with this fabric!
Good thing I got enough to play with for a while since this stuff is really hard to come by...

It's 37" x 42.5" and in the shop as well.
The little one goes down for her nap here in a half hour...
What to do? What to do?

QUILT!
(of course.)

More Bar Harbor

With the florals from this fabric line (Bar Harbor by Minick and Simpson for Moda) charm pack I made this little table topper (18" x 29") that is posted for sale.

(Diane, you should recognize this project since you were here for the start of it and are at least partially to blame! hehe. also at least partially to blame for that massive Arcadia purchase.)

The "non-florals" were used here.
I really enjoyed this fabric line.
Up next... ARCADIA!!!
It's already in the works (and if I wasn't lazy I would show you my progress).
