A Quickie!


GASP! I need a quilt quick!!! What do I do? Watch the video to find out!

     Using my Accuquilt Go cutter for the giant hexagons, I pieced this quilt very quickly, used up some Fairfield Wool batting, grabbed some fabulous Jennifer Paganelli for the backing.... Swirly quilted it, machine binded, and washed... Done. Two hours.

  7. What I love most about the video posts are: You totally do things that are sooooo normal person. Case in point dog kisses, then acknowledging dog's sadness at being shushed away, and making your hair into a faux hawk to prove you need your hair done. :) You crack me up!

  8. Hi Victoria
    Baby quilts are my favorite! Love the hexie's , have never tried them---will give it a shot! Love how those delicious colors appear to be floating! Yesterday I mailed you a simple but very sweet baby quilt for St. Luke's----used this nifty fabric that had a vintage feeling ---like 1950's! Yep, I really do love vintage! Hope you like it, and most importantly I hope in some small way it helps to spread some love,warmth, and comfort!
    Today, I would like to,work on yet another charity quilt for babies in other parts of the world such as Africa--- needing some love and warmth!

Ahh, but tonight, I shall be working on a customer quilt that is going to be amazing, and as usual, will get some hand quilting in before bedtime. What a cute baby gift, I'm working on a big pink star for a new little girl.
