Quilts
As you may have noticed, since it’s after Christmas, and I haven’t posted about the Christmas crazy quilt. It isn’t done. And it made me a little sad. And what better way to make yourself happy than to have a nice quick finish? My solution? A pillow case to match my Steampunk crazy quilt. For…
My husband gave me the best Christmas present I could think of, and better yet, I wasn’t expecting it. He bought me a Singer Featherweight sewing machine! There’s a little damage to the cord that Matt wants to fix before he’ll let me use it. He’s afraid I might burn up the motor with the…
I got a lovely package in the mail today from Quilt Fabric Closeouts. I got some great themed fabric, which I am looking forward to using in an upcoming project: the panel and a half yard of checker print from the Communique line from Wilmington Prints. I also picked up the end of bolt of…
Thanks to 2 evenings of Virtual Craft Night over the long holiday, I’ve made amazing progress on my Christmas Crazy Quilt. I’ve managed to piece together, embellish and faux sash the top left quarter of my quilt. On top of that, I have been able to get several other sections in progress, including these 2…
As you may remember, I finished steampunk crazy quilt top last month. When it was finished, I set about looking for a quilter willing to do the quilting for me. Even though all I wanted for the quilting was something simple, outlining of a few of the blocks, none of the local quilters wanted to…
My Christmas crazy quilt is starting to come along. Which is really quite surprising as I haven’t been working on it anywhere near as much as I should. With my steampunk crazy quilt, I spent about an hour or so each evening, piecing my blocks and then spent another couple hours each night working on…
I’ve noticed something about writing a blog. I always feel pushed to create new content. Sometimes it’s a good thing, pushing me to create even during my creative slumps, but other times, it feels like a hindrance. After all, how do you really create beauty on a timeline? I’ve decided that while I will continue…
It’s November already, which means time to start on my Christmas sewing. OK, so I started this project a couple weeks ago. But in my defense, I am making myself another embellished crazy quilt, so I expect it to take a while to put together. Actually, I expect to be working on it until after…
I feel like I’m just flying through the construction of quilt tops after all the time I spent on the Steampunk Crazy Quilt. In the span of a week I have been able to piece together a small Halloween themed quilt. This quilt top started with the amazing Spooktacular line by Maude Asbury for Blend…
With everything that’s going on in the Steampunk Crazy Quilt, I’ve had several requests for some closeups. But before I share those closeups, here’s a reminder of what the entire quilt look like. And from the back, because I love the way a quilt top looks from the back with the sun shining through…
