The past week has been light on the sewing time and heavy on the planning time. Perhaps it's the promise of fall and thoughts chilly nights under a quilt (or ten!) that has brought on this onslaught of inspiration. Here are a few of my current projects and a few more that I'm starting this week: Picnic Quilt If you saw my weekend post, you got a sneak peak of my scrabble block! If you ever want a taste of losing it, sew together 225 1.5-inch squares into a board game layout. I have been not as … [Read more...]
Weekend: In Progress
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?

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...]
