Things I've made recently ..

Here are some things I've made recently. The bunting was a really fun project for a friend's baby shower. Tutorial from here. Hot pad tutorial here. I enjoy making the cushion covers to give as gifts. xx

Quilt for Theodore

It's been snowing here in Boston so I thought it was time to do a photoshoot. This quilt for Theo has been finished for a while. The blue and red fabrics are from M&L and I paired them with a thick beige sashing and red binding. My son chose the back fabric which he was really excited about. I made it twin size so hopefully he can take it to college one day. xx

Brick Road Quilt

 I finished Brick Road a few weeks ago and went to Newport Beach this weekend to photograph it. It was a gorgeous, sunny day.

 After I got home from New Zealand last November, I was pretty homesick and my husband suggested I make something for my middle brother. In case he got engaged.

And he did! So now I just need to label this and send it off to him and his sweetheart. Yay!

Credits

Design by me (long strips of solids with a dash of pattern / thick cream border / scrappy binding). The backing is a large floral pink and yellow fabric I found at M&L.

Scrappy Strip Project

This is my latest quilting project. It's a series of scrappy strips in long lines. I was inspired by Modern Handcrafts Read Between the Lines quilt. 

At present I think it will be a baby quilt but we'll see where this goes.

Thanks for popping in.

Brick Road Quilt Progress!

 I'm quilting this quilt now and calling it "Brick Road". So far I've really enjoyed  this project and love the vintagey floral fabric I found for the back. 

I'm quilting it in straight lines to follow the bricks. Love!

Isosceles Triangle Table Runner

The idea of this table runner came in the middle of the night while I was feeding my tiny baby. I would get up and look at quilting projects online and I knew I needed a small but useful project.

Every table needs a table runner!

This is a project from 2014. I have one more to show you then I'll update you on my latest quilt.

Rethinking This Quilt

I'm rethinking this quilt actually. The colors are out of my usual range and I've been pondering what will look good. At the moment I'm excited about this design of solid squares with a pop of pattern in the corner. 

Quilt top finished!

From this:

To this!

Here is the completed quilt top. I'm delighted with how it turned out. I ended up removing the grey solid and sticking with blue. Then I made a 2 inch blue border. 

What do you think?

I Love These Colors!
