I am happy to say that, I did try a couple new things this week. I actually did some applique on the RED Matisse quilt, which I have never enjoyed doing. But I did it, and I like how it turned out. I got that quilt pinned and ready for quilting, which I may do by hand! yeah, there I go adding another hand sewing job.... those tend to take me forever... But. I love the quilt.
I have the Grad quilt ALMOST finished, I procrastinated it all week. I have a small amount of machine quilting left on it, and never got around to finishing it. I even have the binding on it already, you'd think I'd just finish it already!
And a few little goodies for my friends. I've never made mini quilts before, so mine are a little crude... but hey! I tried! So. That's about it.
I''m off to play.

Letting it flow.
Krista @ cherry possum who is new to blogging, is making quilts entirely by hand! No sewing machine! Go encourage her blogging! say Hi.
Allison @ cluckclucksew Found her inspiration by seeing a pillow in a store, went home and made her own version. Love that free thinking!
And, just to pass this along. Farmchicks is giving away 2 yards of fabric of your choice of their new line. The line is really lovely, go take a peek. Whether I win some or not, I may need to get some. I love the aqua line, but that's no big surprise! Good thing their isn't BROWN too, or I'd be in big trouble... Not that I need anymore, but they were a new find, and thought you all might enjoy seeing their blog.
V, Great stuff, as usual of course. I like the minis. They are cute. I can't wait to see the finished grad quilt. And of course, I'm DROOLING over the Red Matisse! Can't help it, it makes my skirt fly up! Have a fabulous, wonderful, and productive weekend! Happy Sewing my friend!

I'm impressed that you tried the miniature quilts -- I've just finished reading E. Levie (sp?)'s book Marvelous Miniatures, and have got a miniature quilt (or 6) on my to-do list. I've heard they aren't quick, but that's ok.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts AND mini's are great!
ReplyDeleteHave a relaxing weekend...
I plan on that too!!
