I've always wanted to have a picnic/outdoor blanket, so now that I'm getting better at quilting, I thought it was the perfect time to make my own. I have so many ideas for it, so I thought it would be fun put all my inspirations in one spot so I can finish planning it! Elements of my perfect picnic quilt: hardy/water resistant backing comfy cotton top handles, bag, or some way to roll it up and secure machine washable or easy to clean summery vibe built in game(s) pocket for game … [Read more...]
WIP Wednesday: I’m hot
Summer has come roaring to the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Yesterday it was 100° F! We don't have AC or even a fan, so we just stay hot :) I was still able to do a little work on the baby D quilt. I marked all my squares and then started sewing them together to make the half square triangles. I was dripping with sweat the whole time and couldn't bring myself to turn on the iron to press them open. I also realized my sewing machine petal gets very hot when I'm sewing. I've never sewn … [Read more...]
Q2 Finish-A-Long
I'm excited to link up my Q2 finish for the 2013 Finish-A-Long over at She Can Quilt. I only had one project I was working on at the start of Q2, my hand quilted wedding present for my best friend. The Finish-A-Long inspired me to start this blog to keep track of my progress and I have really enjoyed chronicling making my first ever quilt. You can read all about this quilt and it's meaning here I also went back into the archives and found a few photos of when I was working on the quilt. … [Read more...]
WIP Wednesday: Confessions
I'm not linking up to the WIP on Freshly Pieced today :( Sadly, I had no project time since last week. I'm hoping that means I'll have a ton to share next week! I did want to take a quick moment to say a big thanks to everyone who commented on my WIP last week. I've been writing and posting WIP Wednesdays each week for over a month. And each week, I would chicken out from linking up. I kept thinking I wasn't good enough yet, or didn't have anything interesting to share, or didn't know what the … [Read more...]
Granny’s Wild Quilt Pattern
I've been focusing on quilting for about the last month and now I'm starting to see quilts in everything (is this normal? haha). I just love all the design possibilities and this medium is definitely so new and exciting for me. I think it would be so awesome to make something I designed (and maybe even out of fabric I've designed??? wild dreams here). I've started sketching a few ideas out, but haven't seriously tried creating anything. I thought it might be fun to try out the quilt designer on … [Read more...]
WIP Wednesday: One down, One to Go
I am still so excited to have finished my second quilt ever. I dropped it off at my mom's on Friday and she's going to take it to the baby shower next weekend. I can't go unfortunately because I had already signed up for the Bavarian Battle. It's basically one of those obstacle course races, but with a Bavarian twist. At the end we get bavarian hats, a brat, and a beer (I might sneak in wine :)). Very excited about this. In the quilt project department, I have another baby quilt planned for … [Read more...]
