Quilting updates

Well, I certainly haven't been very chatty lately have I? There are a lot of things brewing in the pot that I can't talk about right now.  In the meantime, i'll share some finished quilts with you. These are all for Kari Bruck Photography and will be shipped out really soon.

I succumbed to the #ScrappyTripAlong which was all over instagram over the holiday season.  I chose to make it in a lowvolume palette of blues and creams for a baby boy.  Since it's a baby quilt and therefore very small, it was done in a jiffy which is the best thing about sewing these baby quilts.

I really love how this one turned out in the blues - so relaxing and a great stash buster. I love it so much i'm going to make another one in low volume pinks.  I have plenty of stash that needs to be busted.

I chose to lay this out in a chevron pattern instead of the traditional diamond shapes because I cant ever do anything as I'm told. Next up is this Pinked-up version of the grannie squares quilt - made as part of the ORBC Quilt-along on flickr. It has this totally awesome pink zebra print on the back. Diva in training mayhap?
 

Finally, I also finished off my Dancing Stars quilt designed by Amy (Amy's creative side)


I tried out some feather quilting on this one just as practice. That was fun too. It's inspired me to mix it up a bit in my quilting. I might try scallops on the last baby quilt that needs some quilting.


They are all washed up and ready to ship out.

Forest Quilt-along

Hey there! Just a quick post to let you know that Joanna of Shapemoth and Julianna of Sewing under Rainbow have put together a fun quilt-along with a forest theme.  Anything Forest-related is fair game.  Think wildlife, trees, flowers, that kind of thing. 

There are great prizes for participating and a fabulous guest judge.  

There are a whole bunch of your favorite designers participating in this QAL.  Follow this link to get all the juicy details.

Happy Sewing!

Luck 'o' the Irish

 Shamrocks anyone?

How does free sound? Free is always good right? Might not be a pot of gold, but it's still wondrous.  Ok maybe not that wondrous.

Here's a little shamrock I whipped up as my gift to you.  Available at Craftsy.

Now go forth and sew for St Patty's day.  I recommend the green beer.  Perhaps not at the same time.

This is a 10" block, but it could probably be enlarged or reduced to suit your needs.

Happy Everything Green Day!
