Cuzco

I've had a BLAST sewing this one. 

Such vibrant colors. 

A rainbow rectangular prism.

Fabric line is Cuzco by Kate Spain for Moda.
Love.
Makes me wish one of these babies was going to be a girl.

In the shop. SOLD.

Hexagram Quilt Pattern

Another pattern here and here.

Happy Stitching!

Christmas Spirit and a little Whimsy

Also finished this little runner in Christmas Spirit by Holly Taylor for Moda.

It's a very beautiful and traditional Christmas fabric line.

I tried out the technique for half square triangles here.

Up close.

Binding is the dark brown Moda Marbles.

I also finished these little beauties. 

Both in the shop.

Coral Salt Air

 I've been having fun this week with some half square triangles.

Specifically, the coral and gold colorways for the Salt Air by Cosmo Cricket for Moda.

This lantana and this fabric match almost too well!

The whole quilt.

Went with striped binding. 

Love striped binding.

I took picure this just for an excuse to take the kids to the railroad tracks. 

I love trains.

Yellow flowers on the back.

The straight line quilting shows up really well.

More beautiful blooms to match. :)

In the shop.

Quilt Therapy

I think people sew for a variety of reasons. 

Mostly because it's awesome!

It also makes for some really good therapy.

Really, really good therapy.

For some reason, unknown to us, we really stink at making babies.

Of course, the ones we have are perfect ;)

Just sayin'.

But the "getting them" just hasn't been easy.

I actually REALLY started quilting like a crazy person after we realized we were going to have to deal with fertility problems back in 2009. 

I needed a lot of quilt therapy to get me through it.

After rounds of crazy hormone injections for months and months and months we finally had a baby boy to show for it. 

This last week I had another miscarriage (#4) and D&C. :(

So there was more quilt therapy to the rescue.

Half Square Triangle Quilt in Make Life by Sweetwater for Moda.

Strips baby quilt in Sophie by Chez Moi for Moda.

Another strip baby quilt in Sophie by Chez Moi for Moda.

And the cute little man that reminds me it's all worth it and everything is going to be okay. :)

All better.

This is the story

of how I died... jk.

But it seems like it in the sewing part of my life!

Couple problems.

We moved - in and of itself not such a huge problem.

This little man learned to crawl and pull up to stand/cruise about a month ago - HUGE problem.

I now play slave to hovering over him to prevent unnecessary bruising (note right forehead damage in photo) and brain damage.

This exacerbates the first problem - STILL have not fully moved in. YIKES!

So sewing has been limited to the evenings and an occassional nap.

I'm sure he'll get some stability soon and all will be well again (with gates all over the place).

I should stop complaining, I really do feel like the luckiest mom the world to have him!

But... enough of those evenings have finally added up and I've completed a little project with the most delicious looking slice of fabric cake ever.

Ruby.

Couldn't you just eat it?

Or at least let the sewing machine and rotary cutter "eat" it...

I also made another in the fresh and popular grey and yellow color scheme.

I like them both for different reasons.

Both are also in the shop.

Pattern to come tomorrow.
