Making
Finished Projects I broke out of my quilting rut and made a bag for my sister’s birthday over the weekend. I’m really pleased with how it came out. Finished Flimsys: I haven’t done anything with my finished quilt tops. There are still 4 of them ready for quilting. Those are the Communique quilt, Double Exposure…
Read MoreI’m super excited that I finished a project this weekend. About a month ago, my sister saw my Aeroplane Bag by Sew Sweetness and wanted to know where I got it, because she wanted a similar bag for school. When I told her that I’d made it, she asked if I would make her one,…

Read MoreOne thing I love about making my own quilts is that I can put just as much character into the back as the front. Now, that’s not to say that I do it on every quilt, but I felt like the Communique Quilt deserved a fun backing. After all, with all the detail on the…

Read MoreI’m super excited to share with you the backing I came up with for my Impromptu quilt. I originally started with a lovely orange batik in 102″ backing width. But after I brought it home, I remembered that I still had a bit of my painter’s canvas fabric I’d used as backing and a charm…
Read MoreFinished Quilt Tops: I’ve got a brand new finished quilt top to add to the three that were already done. The Communique Quilt top is finally finished. I’m 20 thousand kinds of happy about how it came out. You can visit Monday’s post for more photos of the finish. And, it’s a long way from…
