I haven't been doing as much the past week or so because I got my wisdom teeth out last week and also have had some work to catch up on.

But here is what I have been doing...

This is the 1-inch block Mario Bros quilt I've been doing for a long time now.  But slowly making some progress lately because my daughter likes to help by getting each row ready to sew.  Can you see the mushroom forming?



Decided to make my hexi quilt only pinks and purples, although it's mostly purples.  The yellow and greens were sticking out and the most fabric I had to pull from my scraps was purple so there it was.

 

I got this gorgeous pink and white fabric and decided I wanted to try a triangle quilt.  Still need to square up and add a border.  I'm thinking about quilting this one myself on my regular machine but we'll see.

 

 

 This was a custom order I got back from the quilter Friday so am trying to get this binding finished up so I can get it shipped.  I have had it since February.  Whoops!

Happy Sewing!

I really, really want to keep track of all my quilting projects so I'm going to try to keep this blog up to date.

Here are some projects I've completed recently...

This one I made for my daughter's preschool teacher.  She jokingly asked if I would make her one and I did!  It's at the quilter's now.



This one was too cute with the deer and bears and birds.  This was a custom order that needs to get complete but is at the quilter's still.

These adorable pink fairy fabrics are going into my very first triangle quilt.  I have three rows done so far and love it!  This is my current project.



These gold and gray fabrics I was questioning.  They just aren't my typical color schemes but once I got them put together I actually kinda liked it.

 I have also started my first Hexi, or English Paper Piecing, quilt.  I love doing hand work and this is great for that.  So far I have about 8 diamonds complete and should start putting them together soon.

This pattern was quick and easy and I loved this fabric line called Horizon.  This is also at the quilter's right now.



I finally did something with some of my Little Black Dress fabrics and then donated it to our school dinner auction.  It went for $220 which isn't too shabby.

Long Time No Write!

I haven't posted in forever but I've been busy!  I learned that posting on my local Buy, Sell, Trade pages on Facebook gets me lots of requests for custom orders! I've been working on t-shirt quilts (2 of them), quilts made from a deceased mom's fabric (5 of them!), quilts from a mom's shirts (3 of them), a custom order for a college dorm, and some projects I just want to do for fun.  Plus my quilt along that I'm behind on!  Here's what I've finished over the past two months since I've posted last.

Got some pieces of alphabet fabric so I cut the letters out and used them to make a couple baby quilts.  I did this one in order but also made one more with no order that I actually liked better.

Had some leftover strips of this fabric that I love so I threw together a little baby quilt that sold and shipped to Brooklyn, NY!

Have done a few more flannel and cotton baby blankets.

This is a quilt I made a long time ago, I think maybe my third quilt ever back when I was in college, that was at my Gram's to be binded (before I knew how to bind.)  When my Gram passed this was in a tub that ended up at my mom's house that I found a few weeks ago when I was there.

 

This is one of three throws I made for a lady whose mom had passed away recently and instead of taking all of her clothes to Goodwill she had these made for her and her two brothers.  One is complete and the other two are still getting quilted.

Leftovers of the Moda Persimmon jelly roll that I loved!  Still going to make another one of these with the yellows and corals that I have left.  I like how it turned out and can't wait to see it quilted.

Little Halloween banner I threw a border on.  Cuteness!

My sister in law claimed this fabric the minute she saw it for her first baby girl due in a few weeks.  Pattern is Key to My Heart and the jelly roll I found at JoAnn's.  I don't typically like their fabric much but this roll was gorgeous so I couldn't pass it up!

This was Lesson 2 of the Quilt Along I'm doing.  I think we're up to 8 now so I've got some catching up to do!

This is one of two t-shirt quilts I'm doing for a lady for Christmas gifts for her two kids.  It turned out really good and I can't wait to get it quilted and finished up.

This was the Yummy pattern I was doing with the Moda Persimmon jelly roll.  My aunt has claimed this one so as soon as I get it back from quilting that's where it will be headed.

Current Projects

I'm currently working on a quilt and a quilt along.  I'm absolutely loving this fabric that I'm making with the Yummy pattern.  It's the Persimmon jelly roll by Moda.

My mom talked me into joining this quilt along - Aiming for Accuracy II - at http://mishkasplayground.com/2015-quilt-along/.  Here are my first two blocks:

I also have two quilts to bind and one to get a border on.  I also have two custom table runner requests and a request for "unpaper" towels.  So look for those to come soon!

Keep Crafting!

I'm Back!

I can't believe it's been so long since I've been here!  But two carpel tunnel and one cubicle tunnel surgeries have slowed me down.  I'm currently typing with 9 stitches in my hand and 24 staples in my elbow!

I've still been busy though making lots of things.  Quilts of course have been my favorite!  But I've done a different type of hair bow and some more baby stuff.  Hope you enjoy it all and I'll be back to blogging regularly in a week or two more.

Keep Crafting!
