We have had lots of
rain the last few days and the wind was so strong that we had to take our flags
of the flag pole. Today seems to be
nicer just a little sprinkle. I have
been so mentally overloaded lately with helping my daughter with buying her
condo and getting ready to do a small remodel of her kitchen in her new place.
Thing will be crazy for the next three weeks so I’m trying to get as much
sewing done whenever I can.
This quilt has been
done for the last three weeks but I just hadn’t had time to take photos. I will be putting this quilt in our QA quilt
show this month. I made this for my son’s
girlfriend for a graduation gift I know she will like it she is very
girly. I had fun making this and I love Dresden’s
now but I have to say doing the split petals makes for a lot of bulk I have
lots of scraps for this because I didn’t read the instruction correctly and
made twice as many petals as I needed so I will more than likely make another
one to use up the scraps but not now.
I finished Anna’s
pillows for the nursery she loved them that made me happy. Now I have to make the bumper pads and then
most of the nursery will be done. My goal is to get it finished by the end of
this week that way I can concentrate on my daughters move.
So about a month ago
I brought home a fat quarter of this cat fabric thinking I would put it in my
POD (Harry Potter) quilt well my daughter saw it and went crazy and wanted pillow
cases made out of it and then my sons girlfriend was “I want them toooooo” so I
went back to the store and bought fabric for the pillow cases I used the green
colorway for my daughter it will go nicely with all the colors he has picked
for her new place. I stuck with the pink
or Olivia. They turned out really nice
they are already on their beds.
Lastly I started a quilt
a year ago called Annabelle’s Adventure by Michele Marll. I completed all the blocks by June and then I
got a wild hair (bunny joke) and decided to design my own border using elements
form the different blocks. So I drew it
all out and then got distracted with other project and deadlines. We I’m back to working on it and it’s coming out
very nice. This is the middle of the
four sides of the border this is inspired by Annabelle’s flower or her head. There will be some kites and maybe even pumpkins
and apples. I’m just really glad to back to this quilt it going to be amazing
when I’m done.
Forgot the last POD block I completed.
Have a wonderful
week.
