BB quilt and some pattern drafting
What have I been up to since I finished the Windmolen quilt? Couple of things… Firts, I made another quilt top using linen, repurposed sheets (not vintage), and some stash fabrics. This is the first time I tried the big blocks, kind-of random sized. I cal it the BB quilt, or my shabby chic quilt. [...]
Windmolen quilt – finished
Yes… it’s been a while. Since I have been here. And this quilt was finished a while back. It was finished on Friday, and Saturday it was out the door. I had literally 30 seconds to snap a few photos , and – oh, it happens all the time – the pictures did not turn [...]
windmolen quilt – 6 more blocks
slow but steady. I keep reminding myself this one has to be finished soon. 6 more blocks, 2 favorites up close: This is not the order the blocks are going to be in the quilt. This is just the order I am making them in… The first six blocks…
toss it cushion
I finished a cushion I started a few weeks ago. I actually quilted the top and then left it to figure out what I will do with the back of it. After all that thinking, I just made an envelope opening. Oh well. Sometimes the simplest is the best. I used white scraps of an [...]
windmolen quilt – a few more blocks…
I am starting to like this a lot. I did something today I said in the previous post I don;t do – I ended up picking combinations of fabrics for all the remaining blocks (and then some, I am not sure how big this is going to be – I would love it to be [...]
windmolen quilt
the beginnings… for my goddaughter for her first communion. she likes pink and red. her room is mostly pink. so I am going with red with some pink. that might change because I tend not to choose fabrics as I go when making a bigger quilt. I tried pulling all the fabrics first, but I [...]
New project
Yes, I finally started. I say finally, because sometimes I get a lot of ideas, draw a few sketches and then cannot decide which to do first. But after some fabric sorting, looking at fabrics and the sketches from a distance, and thinking about what I really want to cut (and how much) I decided [...]
Plo Pillow
I am calling this one Plo Pillow. This is all I could come up. And I am sticking to it. So here it is: I used 13 different floral fabrics, one of which is vintage french linen (only one square) recently bought at a thrift store. Squares are about 3 in square (I say ‘about’ [...]
and now for something completely different: field work pillow
Just a sneak peek of what I have sitting on my sewing desk since before Thanksgiving. A new pillow inspired by some aerial photography and fabulous work by Victoria Gertenbach. I have not had a chance to get into my sewing room for almost two weeks. This is almost finished – two more patches, already [...]
spiro quilt – sneak peak
Yes, I am quilting again. There was almost 2 months of almost no sewing!!! I say almost, because I did finish two pillows, but there was about 4 – 5 weeks that I did not… could not sit at my desk because of the pain in my shoulder. But, I have recovered, reorganized my sewing [...]
