I finished this bright baby quilt. It’s made completely from scraps from the twin sized commission quilt I did in the fall. I think I have enough to make another by adding just a little more fabric.
This is available in my Etsy Shop.
The best I can tell, I made twenty-two projects this year, from coasters to a twin quilt. Here they are, in no particular order.
An eclectic group, with the Star Wars baby quilts remaining popular.
We’ll have to see what 2022 brings!
Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted! I had a couple aches and pains that kept me away from the sewing machine for a while. Then DS and DiL were here for two weeks before Thanksgiving (yay!). So I finally got back to it this week and wrapped up this fun Christmas project.
The non-traditional fabrics were a departure for me, and I really enjoyed them. I like how fresh and crinkly this turned out.
I hope you’re finding time to sew or be with family.
Now that the sleeve is sewn on the back, this wall hanging is complete. It’s made all from scraps and materials on hand.
I arranged the threads on the blue areas, covered the blocks with tulle, and quilted over them. As I went I added tiny beads and trapped them in the quilted swirls.
When the quilting was finished, I used the rest of the roll of tulle (from a long-ago bargain bin) to swirls across and sewed it down.
It’s hard to photograph, but there’s lots of glitter and shine.
Some favorite scraps!
Thanks for stopping!
This is the finished Christmas version of Scrappy 4 Patch Stars, Charlotte Hawkes’ 2021 mystery quilt. It finished at 63″ square. I was inspired to do this version after seeing one by Lorraine on the Facebook group.
I quilted it all over with Superior’s Magnifico, 40 wt., shiny poly thread.
Yuri wants to know, what are you quilting lately?
Were linking to Confessions of a Fabric Addict’s Whoop Whoop Friday.
Hello! No new fabric this week, and I sent off this commissioned quilt. (Its number fourteen, if you’re keeping track.)
Enjoy your Sunday! I hope you’re getting some time to sew your stash.
I made this quilt using some “Remix” lollies fabric by Jen Kingwell for Moda.
I know this isn’t the way most people use a lollie, but I wanted to include the black and white dividing lines and to make the colors very random. The randomness didn’t really work out- there’s a lot of gold in this! I’ll cut it differently when I use the rest.
This is in my Etsy shop.
This week I finished this Christmas throw. It’s 49 x 62″.
These stars gave me a few fits. Is it the Tri-Rex (Recks?) rulers that I need for them? Whatever it is, I don’t have it.
Also, it was hard to coordinate the blues from my random selection of snowy fabrics. At first I used a dark dusty blue to frame the scenes. I really liked the fabric (and am sad it’s reduced to scraps), but it wasn’t right. The light blue I used instead actually has bits of lavender in it, but, strangely, it worked better.
It didn’t seem to matter how green or purple the blues were, but whether they glowed, like the scenes.
Yuri’s favorite part is the winter scene on the back.
This is in my Etsy shop.
Yes, they are all watching you! Isn’t this a great panel? I framed each animal up with some nubbins of fabrics, and then used the rest to make a scrappy binding. All gone!
We debated some other background fabrics, but I felt like our choice was too busy, so I chose this subtle (boring?) light fabric, and I had just enough.
The owl fabric on the back was purchased for another project and never used, so here it is. Yes, gold highlights.
Find this for sale in my Etsy shop.
Here’s that finished Rainbow quilt, made from WoF strips appliqued to the background. The rainbow wanted to be round, so it is. I’m sure I’ll make another version of this. The rainbow is textured from the stretching, but in a nice way.
This week: + 0 yards, – 3.25 yards
This year: + 61.25 yards, – 84.5 yards
Total destashed / added in 2020: 23.25 yards
This quilt (but not Yuri!) will be for sale in my Etsy shop.
