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.

Rifling through the old pictures on my hard drive I realized I never even posted this HUGE finish. 

It was right before Christmas last year so I suppose it was just forgotten in the chaos?

A very nice and wonderful person, I mean REALLY nice, contacted me to make this as a custom order right after I saw this amazing circle piecing method.

It eliminated the raw edge applique problem with heavily used quilts. 

She provided all of the print fabrics and pattern and it looked sooo cute that I really wanted to make this for her.

400+ hours later (these are EXTREMELY time intensive and I'm not entirely sure that I'm exaggerating here, HAHA!) there was a twin sized quilt to show for it!

Lots of Moda, Timeless Treasures, and Michael Miller cuteness in there.

This is probably my favorite boy quilt that I've ever made. 

Seriously, she picked AWESOME fabrics.

Striped binding. :)

63 blocks later... I do love this quilt and I still think it was worth it to have made it.

She also requested pillowcases. 

I can't imagine how cute her little man's bed must be with all of these adorable fabrics.

Looking at these makes me want to make another one for my ball-obsessed little guy. 

It'll be a while before he gets out of the crib.

Maybe I should rephrase that... I'm sure he'll be able to climb out very soon, but I plan on putting a "lid" on the crib when he does and waiting to get him a real bed.

hehehe!

Sugar Pop! Twin Quilt

I got another custom order for a twin quilt in Sugar Pop! to match the baby quilt.

Someone's going to have a cute room!

Turns out a coin quilt is not the easiest pattern on this scale.

Good to know... 600+ pieces later. Haha!

I love that backing fabric. Another finish - 67" x 87" - whew!

My tiny quilting muscles were barely adequate for maneuvering this quilt about... need to work out.

Yeah, well see. :o)

Spring Lovin' Clementine!

My child is hiding under this somewhere...

So this is my latest finished quilt - used a jelly roll and some yardage for the borders, backing, and binding.

It was the perfect project for heading into spring.

Twin sized (washed once 'cause I couldn't not see it all crinkly) and now posted in the shop.

Hmmm, do I really want to see this go?

They are done! All 4!

Alright, this stuff took me a while. But it should have - it was a lot of work. And the jumbo rick rack - love, love.

My mom got me this fabulous fat quarter set (Wild Thyme by P&B Textiles) for Christmas and it was just dying to become something. I have the best mom, huh?

4 quilts! 2 babies and 2 twins - one boy and one girl of each size...

The thought process behind making these sets was that boy/girl shared rooms sometimes happen...

so why not coordinate? :o)

That and I sometimes feel guilty if every cute thing I make for the shop is girly...

What about all the moms of boys out there who need some frill in life?

A little slow

Well, it's taken me a few days to get anything to post (the olympics are on!) and while it's still not a finished product I think it is a big enough project to get a WIP pic. :o)



This one started out as a boys twin quilt in my mind, then I cut up the sashing strips,
only to realize I should have cut them out of the cream fabric, not the white.

grrr...

So I looked around (for about 2 minutes) and realized I could do a patchwork with a jelly roll in Clementine by Me and My Sister Designs for Moda - still twin size.

Ahh, lovely.

So the "boy" quilt I was planning has been postponed... not for long.
