I finished a couple cuties today....
This scrappy one for myself! More of those super cute, tiny pineapple blocks!
the smallest on is 3"... it hangs in my kitchen....
Sew, cook, sew, cook... love it.
CLOUD
This just needs to be bound... and bury a ton of threads... But I will enjoy each and every one.
Do you like my solution for the outer border? I picked out all the other stuff
and put in a simple scallop... I thought it was subtle and that it went nicely with the feathers....
I'm so pleased with the quilting... Remember how much I struggled with those feathers?
I tell ya.. keep quilting your quilts...because once it clicks... things take off...zoom!
Oh, HONEY CHILD, you decadent fabulous luscious colors....
What on earth will I do with you?
Slice you into a billion triangles to spread your savory colors around.....
Jennifer Paganelli, your brilliant! THANK YOU FOR MY GOODIES!
I'm trying to decide on a project that I will work on when everyone is here for the retreat.
Thought I may play with these... 2" Hst's , for a quilt I've been wanting to make for eons....
hehe, below, self portrait with a flower in my hair...
OR, Perhaps I will play with these red and make more above that above block...
I sort of slapped some wonky scraps on the corners like a snow ball...
I like the red and green thing...!!??
OR I could play with my Christmas hex flowers....
OR I could dive in and devour my scrap bins and not come up for air....
OR, I could work on these, remember these? Janet and I have been building
these round robin style....
they are still going around... I may want to keep adding to mine...
I love them so much...
Janet, we need to confer on this subject... I love the stripes you just added...
that green is awesome!
Anyway... You know how distracted I get, remember how off the
map I got when I went to visit Jackie?
Creative people have that effect on me...
So who knows what I will work on.... I still have the challenge KIM gave me on
reworking one of her patterns... I just might need to do that....
By the way, can I just say, THANK YOU to all
you sweeties who left lovely
You got me all emotional! Super touched and I
thank you all for constantly inspiring me to keep doing what I am doing...
I'm having a blast, and I hope you find your creative journey as rewarding as I do....
And Hey! One of you may get my little challenge
Now go PLAY!
I dare ya!
HUGS!
The best thing about visiting you is I never know what you'll share but it will always be colorful and creative!!! The quilting on Cloud is stunning.

ReplyDeleteI think your cloud quilt is just fabulous. Love all the quilting, oh to be able to machine quilt like that!
ReplyDeleteLove love love your new mini! What a great piece to hang in the kitchen. I have more bits and scraps so I'm going to keep up my Hurricane piecing to make more fabric. It's great having too many options, which all the projects you have going on, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteYour mini is sooooo sweet. Having too many options is so much fun. Much better than having none. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThe cloud quilt is FABULOUS! The border is so perfect. Great work V! Your scrappy little mini is adorable too. So colorful & inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI love the wonky pineapple block quilt. So cute! I just learned how to make 'cheater' pineapple blocks at my guild this week. I'll post pictures and directions when my hubby gets back from NYC with my camera.
ReplyDeleteYour two new little quilts are just stunning. You get better and better, girl! Can't wait to see them--and YOU--in person! Oh, my vote for you to work on is the red. I'll gobble up your red scraps. heehee

ReplyDeleteCloud must have you in the clouds with how gorgeous it is! What I love about it is how it's traditional and not at all traditional. Kind of like you, I'd guess!
ReplyDeleteWow, I thought your mini quilt was beautiful and that would be it for this posting. What a delight to see the Cloud quilt! Your design and quilting are amazing. I hope my quilting finally clicks for me, but I have a long way to go.
ReplyDeleteCloud takes my breath away. Truly. Gorgous. The quilting is diving you totally rocked it and yes, what you chose for the border is fab.
ReplyDeleteI love your cloud quilt. Did you really quilt it w/o a longarm? Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGosh everyone loves Clouds and while I appreciate the craftswomanship I am in love with the mini scrapper. Now that's what I would want hanging in my kitchen. So many colors and they are all so merry. Reminds me of Marimekko somehow.
ReplyDeleteLove the Pineapple confetti quilt....it's so wonderful! And the stars with the feather quilting is amazing work....well done!
ReplyDeleteI think the red with green thing looks like a poppy.....I love it! I'd make a bunch for whole garden full! Yeah!
