WIP Wednesday

spooky crazy quilt section

I’m making progress on my spooky crazy quilt, but most of the work I’ve done in the last week has been hand work, so it doesn’t feel like the same kind of progress I get when I finish a new block. I currently have 3 sections pieced together, and I now have the hand stitching…

Focus Through the Prism Challenge Review

For the last seven months, I’ve created a 20″ mini quilt each month.  Those quilts were all part of the Focus Through the Prism Challenge over at Project Quilting.

I’ve been putting in a lot of time on my Steampunk themed crazy quilt, and I feel like I finally have something to show for it.  The quilt top is no where near complete, but it is coming along.  I even have an entire row sewn together. I know it doesn’t look like much but…

Peplum Top

Sara over at Sew Sweetness recently posted a some great clothes that she made for spring quilt market and  I was absolutely in love with the peplum tops she made.  So I decided to give it a go myself. For my top, I used the bodice of the Colette Patterns truffle dress as a base. …
