next project . . .

I’m attempting to design a new quilt. It’s a little intimidating to begin without a pattern, but it’s also very exciting. I think I have a pattern idea. Now the task is to select the colors. Let the designing begin!

quilting, quilting, and more quilting . . .

Still quilting the top of the screendoor quilt. I was very nervous about quilting. I believed that my quilting would mess up all the patchwork I had spent the last month working on. But now that I’m close to finishing the quilting, I think it does add something to the patchwork and I’m starting to like it. I hope to finish by Saturday.

It’s time to finish this quilt. Only hitch . . . I ran out of thread. A quick trip to the fabric store and I’m back at it.

Summertime

Summer is winding down already. Tomorrow is August 1st. Where have the days gone?! My summer creative adventure was to try my hand at quilting. It started with replacing a small gift quilt that my mother received from a co-worker more than a decade ago. I decided to go by the fabric shop and see if anything caught my eye. I settled on a flowers & blueberries print. It was a quick project, resulting in what my nephew calls a “quillow.” I’ll try to post a picture soon. Anyway, that “quillow” led to the discovery of what has been termed “modern” quilting and my summer commitment to finishing a full quilt. Now, I’m working on another quilt and even contemplating design. Whatever I do, I hope to document it all here.
