Things have been a balancing act around here since we arrived home. We had one of those life events happen with the passing of Jeffrey’s extremely sweet, very small, giggling 92-year old Norwegian grandmother G.G. You crafty ladies would have appreciated this domestic arts diva. She lived her whole life in her own home.
I was pretty thrilled this morning to take a breather and shake out this long forgotten baby quilt. I put it up on the design wall for some quilting contemplation. I have a few ideas and am even hoping to tap into some of the hand quilting knowledge you all provided on this blog and that I can’t find for the life of me.
I’m even more thrilled that I get some time to go sew this Saturday with the lovely ladies of the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild. Of course I have to go.
I’ll quilt this up and help Noelle out with her school auction quilt.
There’s a lot I like about this quilt. I like that the focuses in it are made with left overs from some Bee Blocks made from my own fabric stash and a ton of random neutral fabrics. It has texture with a mix of Kona, linen and flannel. I think the design layout worked well too.
There’s some things that I also would change and those I won’t point out cause that would get me nowhere now would it?
I’m still working on making time for a Value Quilt A-long and think I picked some dates for classes.
Now just send me some sun…I’m in need.
Here’s to
Love the quilt look!!!
Don’t know exactly what you are looking for, but I’d use thicker colored thread and long running stitches!
I love this quilt, simple, beautiful colors. We need some sun here too 🙂
I love the quilt too! I need to make an improv quilt. This one is really, really great.
hope you get your machine tension issue resolved.
Fun, fun, fun quilt! Can’t wait to see how you end up quilting it.
I need some sun too! Seriously and Hawaiian Air keeps sending me all these deals. See you Saturday….till then my friend.
There’s no sun here right now either (just thought you and Noelle) should know 🙂 but I’m sure it will be returning soon.
I love this quilt – amazing! Gorgeous – and sorry to hear about your hubby’s grandmother – she sounds like quite a woman!
I seriously need some sun too! I guess it is asking a bit much for Seattle in January though 🙂
I love this quilt! Fantastic
Thanks! I just basted it today.
Ooh, I love that quilt!
