This week's worth of sewing has been precipitated by a huge amount of waiting for fabric to arrive.... sigh. I started the week by finishing up my second pillow sham in Joel Dewberry's Heirloom fabrics- I have it pictured below along with some pics of the quilt I made for our bed which I haven't pictured yet. It came out great and I had a fun time quilting ferns for the first time in the center. I then moved to working on my Tula Pink Saltwater quilt. I started cutting and got a little carried away- and cut 6 blocks wrong... which prompted me to order 4 new FQs of those prints so I could remake them.. and then wait a week for it to get here. I then was contacted by a very good bloggy friend with a super secret special request- for which she would send me the fabrics... again more waiting. So finally this past weekend everything got here and I got the super secret project done (more on that soon... I promise) and the Saltwater quilt is half done too... Looks like next week will be a quilting week- which to me are the best weeks. Hope you all had a great sewing week, can't wait to see what everyone has done!

Saltwater quilt sneak peek |

Our bed quilt, made in November for our 10th anniversary- he came up with the minimal design- I made and quilted the quilt. |
|
I did some crosshatch in the middle along with a half feather surrounding the "bricks" |
|
the top and bottom each have a long feather design with a chain design and figure eights, I also did some large areas in pebbles. |
|
the new pillow sham- unfortunately the curved piecing gets lost in the patchwork as the fabrics don't have enough contrast. |
|
my very first fern. |

Your quilting really is quite lovely! I love the bed quilt, and the shams are great!
ReplyDeleteAmazing. Now if you can keep the dogs off of it, naaa, I guess they will enjoy it too.
ReplyDeleteThe pillow is beautiful! Love the colors and quilting. I just finished a coral salt water quilt, and will be starting an aqua salt water quilt soon. It is fun to see what others are doing with the same fabric!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful quilting - I love the fern pattern!
