Friday Finish: The Scrappy Finale

This week I sewed the binding on the scrappy baby quilt so beautifully quilted by Marcia of Marcia's Crafty Sewing & Quilting Blog. (Lucky me, to be the winner of her Scrappy Quilt Challenge -- her quilting was the prize!)

All freshly washed and crinkly... I love it!

Inspiring swirls!

All done, and ready to snuggle...

You can see all the details on this quilt in my earlier post here, and/or at Marcia's blog here, where she shared lots of great pictures of her quilting process. What a wonderful experience this has been! :o)

Linking up this week at:
Amylouwho's Sew & Tell Friday
Finish it Up Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts
TGIFF, being held this week at Quokka Quilts, and
Minutes for Me at Marcia's -- because I truly enjoyed every minute working on this quilt!

That is gorgeous! Love the scrappy look.

I can never bring myself to quilt that heavily. I am afraid it will make the quilt stiff. How does it feel?

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait (Part Three)

Image
I finished a project this month that was a long time coming. For my son's 23rd birthday, I gave him what was supposed to be his high school graduation quilt. Better late than never, I guess. I blogged a bit about this quilt last fall, and if you'd like to know at least part of the reason this gift was so late, you can read the backstory in Part One and Part Two . In a nutshell, my round robin flew the coop, and this is round two... I made the new ( Blackford's Beauty ) center block sometime last October: Then, working from photos of the original quilt, I remade the first border, designed by my friend, Maura: I was buying fabric for the next border when I learned that Hancock Fabrics was hiring. I started my new job the following Monday, and from there on, work on the quilt slowed considerably. I finished the appliqued music border sometime in February or March: By April, I was scrambling to put together the 20 blocks that would make up the last border. I decided to repe...

My Family Left Me...

... but only for the weekend. :o) (Added Friday, February 3: As busy as I was this week, turns out this is my only finish, so I'm linking up this post today with Amylouwho's Sew & Tell Friday and TGIFF at Missy Mac Creations .) While they were away, I had a fun night of sewing with my son's girlfriend. Her mom has been planning an outfit for her to dance in a powwow at the end of March, and they want to applique a Lone Star on the back of the dance shawl. Would I mind helping her with it? LoL Silly girl. It was my first attempt at a Lone Star, and I usually avoid sewing diamonds altogether, so I'll admit I was a little nervous about how it would turn out. Still, it couldn't hurt to try. We started out with this photo for inspiration. We both really liked the swirly layout of the colors, even though it would make the assembly a bit trickier. A little more Googling brought us to " The Challenge of a Lone Star Quilt ," an excellent tutorial (th...

UFO Challenge: January Finish!

I've been trying to keep from showing a full photo of this quilt in my weekly updates, just so I could have a big "reveal" with the final post. Finally the time has come! I really didn't think I could do it, but yes, it is finished -- and with a few days to spare. Now I know what I'm capable of if I just set my mind to something! And here it is, my no-longer-a-UFO, hand-appliqued rose quilt... The finished size is approximately 52" x 67." Hard to tell from this picture, but it is a large wallhanging. This photo gives a better size reference: As you can see, I had to pull the couch away from the wall to take the first picture. Some rearranging is in order if it's going to live in this room permanently. That big ball of fluff is our cat, Sarabi, who came to live with us from the shelter last summer. It hasn't taken her long to make herself at home. Here she is, glaring at our other cat, Reesa, and staking her claim on the cushiest spot i...
