Horizon

Every year I try to go to Quilt Festival. 

Simply amazing.

Everywhere you look.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

Inspirational on every level.

And every time I think up something new I want to try.

And it's less than an hour's drive. 

This year I left dreaming of quilting fabulousness.

(Not a word, I know.)

"Horizon" (Kate Spain for Moda) was the next fabric on the cutting table.

I went with a very simple modern design with lots of negative space for the quilting to share the spotlight.

I highly recommend this sort of quilting. 

VERY fun.

I didn't want this project to end. 

At 36" x 37", I felt like this project ended too soon. 

I need to just start another one. 

It has a random assortment of free motion feathers, flowers, vines, paisleys, swirls, and any other design I could think of to quilt doodle. 

Granted it did take a lot of hours. 

But they were some happy hours! 

And more pics of the quilting. 

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)

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.

Nesting turned quilting...

So, we'll just pretend it hasn't been a month since my last post.
Lame, I know.
But at least I've been sewing my brains out and having a blast doing it.

Another baby quilt in Pure by Authentic for Moda.


Obviously, I had a little too much fun with the Pure fabric line. I couldn't stop! I loved it. And the backings on these are all exquisite fabrics. Check them out with more pics in the shop.

On a side note - technically I'm due today... no baby yet though. Little guy is being stubborn but I'm hoping to be induced tomorrow morning if nothing happens today. So I guess all my nesting energy got channeled into making these quilts and some things for the little boy. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that he'll pop out today.

Does stitching induce labor? I'm sure we could add it to the list of crazy wives tales.

.!@#$%^&*(Punctuating)_+

Just realized it has been a while since I had anything finished to post on the blog!

But I have lots of fun stuff today.

This is a stacked squares table runner in Punctuation by Sandy Klop of American Jane Patterns for Moda - 18" x 41" - so happy.

A wonky windmill baby quilt also in Punctuation - 30" x 38" - and backed with the punctuation striped fabric from this line - check it out in the shop.

I love that fabric.

Maybe I need more of it.

And another quilt in Hushabye by Tula Pink for Moda - 45" x 67" - all in the shop.

Now to sew some Christmas gifts.

Oh, I am soooooo behind!

Happy Monday!
The overcast sky has not made for good pictures...
so the weekend sewing frenzy had to wait to get it's picture taken.
:o)
Worth the wait?
These were such a treat to make.
I love having great fabric with which to play.
It makes sewing so much more enjoyable!
All in the shop.

A little more Kashmir... IV.

I just couldn't get enough so I whipped this one up last night and put the binding on this morning... 35" x 41".
My day is already better with this to look at!
