Summersville

This finish was a LONG time coming. 

I remember working on this one about two years ago and getting all the way to completed quilt top and then we moved. 

And it lost its momentum and sat.

Once a quilting project gets put on the back burner it's really hard to pull it back out because the ideas and projects keep piling up on top of it.

This one is a whopping twin sized quilt in almost all red and cream from the Summersville fabric line - there's a hint of black in the binding for contrast. 

In the shop.

200!

Just realized this is my 200th post.

That actually implies a lot of stitches.

:o)

I also realized sometime three days ago that it is easier and faster to finish projects you've already started then to start and finish completely new ones.

Wow.

Seems like a statement of the obvious, but I really think I put things away thinking, "eh, I'll do that one later when I get more time."

Yeah, like I'm ever going to get more time.

In fact, I'm 20.5 weeks pregnant with twins... there won't be any more time for a long time.

Back to the stitches.

On deck today:

A granny square table runner in Joy by Kate Spain for Moda. These blocks were the leftovers from the "production" of this quilt.

Some very happy coasters in Meadow Friends by Deb Strain for Moda.

A small table runner in Birds and Berries by Lauren and Jessi Jung for Moda.

I only used the purple and coral for this one.

I couldn't find any way to make the purple work with the blue for me...

They weren't even combined in a print so I figured I was allowed to exclude them from each other.

I actually have a quilt in the rest of the jelly roll... I should post pictures of it tomorrow.

I'm keeping it for my little who.

As I was quilting it (no, not cutting, piecing, basting), I realized it matched her future room colors and that she would NEED it to throw on her bed. :o)

Yeah, it took me that long.

And some coasters in Summersville by Lucie Summers for Moda.

Loved this line.

I have a twin sized quilt in these fabrics that needs to be quilted.

That project lost momentum when we moved...

Lame me.

These have all been listed in the shop. :)

Kid's Clothes

This week was "clothes week." 

Not that anyone needed any clothes per se, but once the serger is running it's hard to stop it.

Both of my machines have a mind and a will power all their own!

A onsie and skirt for my niece, Claire. She doesn't know it's coming and neither does her mom. :)

This is an older and favorite fabric line of her mother's - Sorbet by Sentimental Studios for Moda. 

Plus, she likes blue for girls. 

Perfection.

A skirt for my little girl from Vintage Modern by Bonnie and Camille. 

The loveliest aquas and reds in their lines.

Some pants for my little man in the bike print of Lucy's Crab Shack by Sweetwater and in the cars and buildings print of Summersville by Lu Summers.

I can't even begin to explain how much he LOVES seeing these fabrics. 

I'm not sure if he's fully settled with the idea that he gets to wear them and touch them. 

Usually mommy's fabric is such a big no-no. :)

Overall, total success this week in the sewing department. 

Now the quilting department... 

I have a MILLION works in progress. 

Something needs to get finished to save my sanity.

Hope everyone has a good week. 

Thanks for stopping by.
