Vintage Modern

I made another orange peel Sashiko circles quilt this time in Vintage Modern by Bonnie and Camille for Moda.

If you want one too, you can download the free pattern on my blog in the right side column.

I decided to make this pattern with the charm pack I bought after I flipped through it and saw this backing fabric. :)

Applique makes me happy.

Favorite fabric in this line was the red on pink houndstooth print. 

I bought some yardage of it for a future dress for the little princess. 

Better get started on those projects too.

I would love to know if there ever was a quilter who finished ALL of their projects!

In the shop.

Fallen Leaves Quilt and Pattern

Have you seen this new line?

Lots of cuteness.

Applique table runner in Give Thanks by Deb Strain for Moda. 

Modernized leaves. 

Simple enough, no?

Some swirly quilting.

A little straight stitching too.

And done.

I LOVE applique. 

I know, you already knew that... : )

And, for your sewing pleasure, a pattern.

In the shop.

Max and Whiskers

The finish of Max and Whiskers - whew that was a LOT of outline stitching!

Even quilted in the ditch.

41" x 34" of happiness.

And the pillow "inspired" by my child's disaster of a play area (a.k.a. my whole house) but I can't be too hypocritical. I won't even take a picture of MY play area right now. :o) Both are in the shop.

Preview of Max and Whiskers.

I never do this hardly. Show anything "in progress" that is... but I'm rather infatuated with this fabric line (Max and Whiskers by BasicGrey for Moda) and I actually wasn't a huge fan of it until I saw a finished quilt in it - the COLORS! Goodness I love them. And the prints are very adorable. Oh, and there's a touch more City Weekend that needs to be posted as well tomorrow. See? Too much sewing time on my hands this week :o) Well, there's never too much.

On a windy day

Another little something to show you!

This started as a little "I want to make a tree" project. Cut the leaves and the tree out, then I had to go shopping for the perfect background... I really like the way the tree pops off this background. I love Moda.

So another finish...

and a slightly lighter fabric load around here for a few days - at least until I go shopping again.

In Love

This one is in the shop already, but I just had to post a picture here. I'm so in love with this one that I'm working on another one for myself. I just love the puff of the appliqued leaves and flowers created by the background quilting. I've also been needing to add ric-rac to something - and mixing the quilting method was also on my long list of things to do. Not to mention that it is my personal goal to create something from every line Sandy Gervais puts out... I'll wish myself luck on that one as she's incredibly prolific. Life is like a box of Valentine chocolates, you never know how much you need something before you make it!
