Exposed! My Current Stash

Exposed! My Current Stash

I just started following a super fun quilting blog called Sarah Quilts. She posted pics of her fabric stash and asked others to join in. "You show me yours, I'll show you mine"! I pulled everything out of the back of my closet and although I see it every day when grabbing clothes, it just seems bigger all out there in the open. This is hopefully the biggest my stash will be. I know it doesn't look like much, but I live and work in under 200 square feet and my fabric stash currently takes up … [Read more...]

WIP Wednesday: On my bind

WIP Wednesday: On my bind

After auditioning tons of fabrics from my stash for the binding of the baby D chevron quilt (that just weren't quite right), I found these sweet little red polka dots hiding in the corner of my closet. I don't know if I should be really excited I found them, or concerned about my hoarding :) Baby D still has not made his/her grand entrance, so I think I will get this done in time. I think the baby will like the dots. Let's just ignore the fact that it looks like I'm sewing crooked :) I'm sure … [Read more...]

WIP Wednesday: Getting There

Ever have a week where nothing is going quite right and all you want to do is complain and sit on the couch and watch netflix all day? Yah, me neither ;) Despite the rough week, I have a few fun things to share! First of all, I finished the quilting on the Baby D Chevron quilt. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice on it last week. I really like the white stitching on white fabric. Nice and simple, just the way I like it! Right now it's just chillin' on one of the beds in the cabin until I have … [Read more...]

WIP Wednesday: Chevron

Happy Wednesday! This week I was able to finish putting together this chevron quilt top for baby D. I also got the whole thing basted!!! I'm pretty excited about how much I got done, so I'm letting myself forget all of the other things I neglected this week :) I'm thinking for quilting, I'm going to follow the chevron lines and keep things pretty simple. I can't decide if I should have the thread color contrast with the fabric or if I should match it and keep the focus more on the chevrons … [Read more...]

WIP Wednesday: Distractions

I cannot believe it is already Wednesday again. I am in the midst of a busy wedding season (I am a wedding photographer) and spent Thursday-Monday traveling and shooting in the San Juan Islands. It was a beautiful trip but sooo much work. I am glad to be home and hopefully get some down time to work on my projects. My Baby D chevron quilt got a little bit of love this week. I sewed the HSTs into blocks of 4 and am ready to sew them into rows. In a perfect world, I will have the top done this … [Read more...]

Q3 Finish-A-Long and WIP Wednesday

It's time to link up my Q3 WIP List for the 2013 Finish-A-Long over at She Can Quilt! And while I'm at it, they are also my projects for WIP Wednesday. Two for one! Here are the projects I'm currently working on. #1 - Baby D Chevron Quilt: This quilt is for my friend who is due in mid August. I thought it would be finished in no time, but I have been going very slow. I finally finished pressing and trimming all of my HST triangles after putting it off during the recent heat wave. It was really … [Read more...]
