Work in Progress Wednesday #3 and a WINNER!
Well it's Wednesday again, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite days of the week thanks to Lee's Work in Progress Wednesday and all the great new blog friends I am making by linking to it. This week was a bit more generous with the sewing time and I was able to get one thing done and make some very good progress on another. Lets see what happened.
Finished: my LOVE pillow- all done and currently residing on my couch. The lovely BF gave it a try yesterday with a short nap on the couch and reported that it was very comfy and he likes it a lot. I am very pleased to hear this!
In Progress: my Amy Butler Love Tube quilt- went from just having my Jelly roll strips sewn together to the blocks all cut, ironed, pieced and voila- finished quilt top. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite quilts yet and the method for piecing it was genius... I will talk more about the progress and how I put it together very soon. I cannot wait to quilt this baby- I know just how I want to do it and my fingers are itching to get started- I think I will have to wait for the weekend though before I get the chance.
And a Winner! Last week I hosted a giveaway for a free apron on my blog- from my etsy shop AtomicAprons. The lucky winner was randomly drawn and is SARAH, so Sarah send me your info and your choice of aprons and I will get that right out to you. Thank you to everyone for entering and your kind comments.

I love your AB quilt - they are such great prints!
ReplyDeletethanks Jess- It is one of my favorite collections of hers- I just got a charm pack of her new one though and boy is that one a winner too... gotta love Amy Butler!!
DeleteYour Amy Butler quilt looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Sarah.
thanks so much!
DeleteI agree. YourAB quilt looks great. Love the prints against the grey:)
ReplyDeletethanks, I originally planned to do white instead of grey, but when I found the grey fabric I knew it would be a better choice.
DeleteLove your Amy Butler quilt paired with the grey. The prints itself are a bit overwhelming in my opinion, but your quilt top really tones it down nicely!
ReplyDeletethank you, I know it is busy, but I was hoping the grey would make it flow nicer, glad you think so too!
DeleteYour Amy Butler quilt is just amazing, I love the prints paired with grey. Wow!
ReplyDeletethanks so much! I am really excited about it too.
DeleteI am having a love affair with grey right now and your AB is gorgeous!! I may just have to give this one a try.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a snap to put together too, I would totally recommend this to anyone- I will be talking more about the method in my next blog post, so stay tuned!
DeleteI found your site through the Freshly Pieced link up. Your Amy Butler Love Tube is so beautiful! I am interested to see how you quilt it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can't wait to quilt this baby- I will hopefully get to it this weekend- so stay tuned.
DeleteI like the tube quilt. With those prints, it has the feel of a HST quilt, but you don't have to deal with all of the HSTs! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteso true- while I do love HST this is soo much easier! thanks so much.
DeleteLove the Love tube quilt! I'm going to start something similar with a solid and scraps called Merry go round, but it looks like it is pieced and cut the same way.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a great method, go for it- you will be happy you did!
DeleteI loooove the Amy Butler Quilt. So striking, with the prints and the solid.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner!
Thanks Heather!
DeleteI sent you an email to the address on your blog profile!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic, I will get that right out to you!
DeleteI really really love the combination of the grey and the bold colours, it makes then stand out so well. I think this year must be the year of experimenting with solid colours for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much- the grey was a great experiment for me too- first time I have ever gone with a dark solid to highlight such bold fun prints. I am on to quilting it right now, I love quilting in contrasting thread colors and the grey really makes the colors pop- I will be using that color more often for sure.
DeleteLoving everything I'm reading on your blog! So fun to find you via WiP!!
ReplyDeleteWow, thank you and a big thank you for following my blog. I am new to the whole blogging thing so it is very exciting to find new readers. I checked out your blog as well and think it is fabulous to see new quilters and follow them on their journey. I really love all your fabric choices and wish my first projects looked as good as your first Disappearing 9 patch looks! I think you really are off to a great start and should keep sewing as much as you can- and yes WIP is just phenomenal for finding new bloggy friends.
