Reunion

This quilt has been waiting awhile for completion. 
I kept debating. 
Borders? No borders? Borders? No borders? 
Well, obviously I went sans borders. 

This is my own pattern though I haven't tried to write one up for it. Yet. 
It follows nicely in my recent obsession with plus sign, cross, "x's" quilt designs. 


I went for a scrappy binding. 



So, I settled on a gingham Michael Miller print for the back. 



It's in the shop.

A Stitch in Color

I don't know how many of you are readers of Malka Dubrawsky's blog, but I've been enjoying for quite a while. 
Long before she ever was designing fabric for Moda. 
So, I was thrilled to get my hands on her first line, A Stitch in Color, and have some fun with it! 


I also took my inspiration for the quilting directly from some of her quilting projects and wow, that was fun.
It made me want to quilt like that all the time. 


A little nature to match!




Maybe you can see my quilting better in this one? 




Oh, and the backing. 
It looks like another quilt. 
It's the cheater fabric in the line - the "panel" of sorts. 


It ended up at 37" x 42" and is in the shop.

Cape Ann

This quilt was actually a long time in the making. 
I really enjoyed sewing with all the tiny sweet prints in Cape Ann. 
It's classic Oliver and S adorableness. 
Little outfits, perfect dots, stripes, etc. 
They have some super cute clothing patterns that are in the fabric that may eventually need to be created separately by me. : ) 
I'm actually disappointed that my LQS doesn't carry them.
I'm very impulsive when it comes to sewing clothes for the little people.
Planning and ordering can be so painful.
I lose my motivation and excitement waiting for things in the mail sometimes.







It measures 47" x 51" and is in the shop.
