A little late, but here is a progress report. "Parenthesis" was the last word and the embroidery complete! Not being well-practiced at embroidery, I'd say that this effort has a lot of "character." I'm really happy with the overall effect.Sewing the binding on. No pictures of making the bias-binding because, after basting, it's a step… Continue reading I can see the light!

Embroidery underside
I promised a photo of the underside of the embroidery. I'm working on the third line, almost done! I am loving this font even though it has added so many swirls and flourishes, it's taking AGES to finish. That, and I've been taking a bit of a break from working on this quilt to play… Continue reading Embroidery underside
I’m still here!
Work has been keeping me busy and exhausted! But that didn't stop me from translating this image from a Quiltmaker email into an Inklingo-able quilt! The block measures 16" because the orange peel collection contains a 4" unit, making the center block 8". The 4" HST is available in the 12" Storm At Sea collection… Continue reading I’m still here!
Some more Alabama Chanin projects
Flat bunny! This is how the bunny looked before getting stuffed. Such a quick project to complete! Once I had all the pieces the right size, it was really fun to put together. And here it is, full of stuffing. I think more stuffing might have been good, but I didn't want it to be… Continue reading Some more Alabama Chanin projects
Winding Ways coming together
My progress has been slow, but I am enjoying sewing these blocks together. Best part: no clipping!!
Progress on the Irish Chain
Two nights ago, I thought this was all the quilting I had left. I was so excited to spray out all the blue marker lines, but was dismayed to discover that I missed a tiny, tiny portion. But that's okay, I'll quilt it before I start the embroidery of the words. Here is the print-out… Continue reading Progress on the Irish Chain
One project down, two to start!
My projects keep multiplying but my free time seems to be halving. Gah! So this skirt is finally done! It basically took a year from receiving it. The facets pattern is great, but there are a lot of shapes to sew around and cut out. My next Alabama project will be to attempt airbrushing and… Continue reading One project down, two to start!
Planning Winding Ways
So I decided to add an extra row in each direction to bring the quilt up to 63" x 63" in size. This makes it a nice throw and allows the quilt to be useful beyond the crib. I am really enjoying the look of this design and I think I'll buy fabric as close… Continue reading Planning Winding Ways
Winding Ways
I have decided! This is the next baby quilt I'll be making. Isn't it adorable!? I'll be going shopping for fabrics tomorrow. I looked at all the sales in the US, but once you add shipping, the costs just blow way out. So, off to Spotlight I go. Also, I finished cutting the last panel… Continue reading Winding Ways
Storm At Sea considerations
So here is yet ANOTHER quilt that is in the design process. I know the following things: Storm at sea and the colors red and black. I'm assuming a few other things like that it should be queen size to suit my sister's bed and that grey will be acceptable. However, a two-tone quilt could… Continue reading Storm At Sea considerations
Hunters Star Baby Quilt Completed!
It is done, washed and dried! I love the crinkliness of it, too! Makes it seem much fluffier cuddly.The backing looks better after the quilting as well. All in all, I'm very pleased with how it came out.
