So here are a few photos of the quilting done so far. Do you think I should add another inner circle of quilting? Technically, I think this enough quilting for the batting, but I do feel that it could use more from an aesthetic point of view.

A finish and progress on two other projects
That's right! I've managed to start and complete a project! Remember the crochet from the last post? Well, it's done and has been done for a while. I've just been so busy with work, baby and moving house. The main reason I've made progress on any of my projects is my commute to work. Which… Continue reading A finish and progress on two other projects
It’s been a while
And, oh, so many things have happened! But mostly, this little guy has been taking all my project time and then some! But that's not all! I've been trying to tidy up my project closet, and found some treasures. My very first quilt was the quilt I started in my first quilting class twenty-something years… Continue reading It’s been a while
Spool Block Travel Pillow Completed!
And it's done! I sewed the sides with French seams and bound the opening, quilt-style.
Spool Block travel pillow
I like to use a little pillow for lumbar support in the car. I don't need it, but boy does my back feel better when i use it! But my current pillow is getting old, so I thought I would take the opportunity to replace it. I couldn't find a pillow form of the same… Continue reading Spool Block travel pillow
Winding Ways progress report
I had thought to discard the 7th row and column making the quilt 6x6 blocks instead. When I thought this, I assumed that this would make the quilt much smaller, so proposed to add a 3" pieced border to compensate, but after throwing up the blocks on the design wall, I decided that the quilt… Continue reading Winding Ways progress report
Inklingo Mug Rug Swap 2014
Jillian of Dakota Essence started another Mug Rug Swap way back in January this year, but something must have happened as there haven't been any updates from her since February. I hope she is okay! I signed up for this immediately, even though I already had several projects on the boil, because these are fun… Continue reading Inklingo Mug Rug Swap 2014
Starting yet another project
That's right, I've started another project! This one will hopefully not take too long, seeing as how I've barely pieced 12 of the 49 blocks of the baby quilt I'm making. This is the start of a pillow case for my back when I'm driving. The old pillow is at least five years old and… Continue reading Starting yet another project
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!
Winding Ways cut out
All the pieces cut out using a small rotary cutter and rotatable cutting mat. Took a lot less time than scissors!
Winding Ways Printed
It took about 2 days to complete, but it's done and waiting to be cut and sewn! So much printing! All up, 108 pieces of fabric ironed with freezer paper and printed on. Total number of shapes: 300. Monkey's cheat sheet was invaluable!
