another pink quilt – finished

another pink quilt – finished

Remember the First Pink Quilt? As I mentioned, I cut enough squares for a bigger project, then I quickly scaled down, but did not want to just forget about the leftover squares (and stripes of white fabric)… so I used up the squares to make Another Pink Quilt:

For this one I had no design in [...]

spring quilt – finished

yes… final stitches were sewn last night, this morning photo shoot, and…. here it is, in all it’s glory (before wash):

A few notes about the quilt:

I call this one – spring quilt

I call this one – spring quilt

A couple of days ago I selected some fabrics for a new quilt (the last one is awaiting biding). At this point I did not know what I wanted to do, but these are the fabrics I liked:

June Gloom is now officially July Gloom. The light is really crappy, so pictures are so-so, but here they are:

The pillow is finished. It measures about 14×14 in, and of course, all my pillow inserts are either smaller or way bigger. So only a “flat” picture. The linen I used is not really great for [...]

but you won;t be able to tell. I just finished it a few minutes ago and scheduled the photo session for tomorrow. This is a picture from earlier today. I decided to do straight line quilting – it’s a little questionable whether they are straight or not – about an inch apart. When I took [...]
