Blitzen.

The weather here has been rainy.

Well, that's an understatement. 

Houston has been experiencing some flooding and we've been stuck inside all week.

I'm happy to report that the sun finally made an appearance today and I have photos of my newest quilt! 

In Blitzen by BasicGrey for Moda.

I started thinking balls and ended up thinking wreaths and then needed snowflakes.

The design for this one was very organic.

Snowflake applique.

I chose the red binding and grey paisley large print for borders. 

I'm still wondering if I should have done red borders... these decisions always make me just want both. 

Houston is much too green today. 

Winter almost isn't fathomable. 

Whole quilt. 

See that little mushroom in the corner?

And all of the ones just above the quilt in the background? 

Houston has been attacked. 

There are more mushrooms than people right now!

It's in the shop. 

Flurry in July in Texas.

The impossible?

Yes.

But this was a great way to celebrate my 4th of July weekend.

Only one color off of appropriate for the holiday too!

Flurry.

Measures in at 38" x 47" and features some fun quilting and applique borders.
More pics in the shop.

Happy 4th of July!!

Snowy Sneak Peeks

In light of the fact that it is snowing outside, in Houston (I know, highly unusual weather) I thought I'd take the extra indoor time today to post some nearly done projects that will be making it to the shop soon. Just as soon as I go buy materials and get the fabric orders to finish these... waiting and waiting for online orders to arrive is very frustrating!

this is a custom ordered quilt that will be a queen sized tree quilt... this is just the background that the tree will be appliqued onto...

This is the Authentic by Sweetwater for Moda quilt that I have been taking my sweet time about finishing...

And since I'm without materials for these and it's snowing... I had to make some of these... Oh, darn the bad luck. ;o)

Happy snow day!
