With little time between work, book stuff and teaching I’ve focused on finishing quick projects that are ‘needed’ around the house.
Like an extra curtain, to keep out that extra morning light daylight savings brought us. Made with fabric from the wonderful Kathy Mack of Pink Chalk Fabrics (blog here). I think I bought all the yardage she had.
The extra yardage from the curtains with some help from Pink Chalk’s sale flannel went into a whole cloth quilt for a very special baby. I did the double binding again.
I could probably fill my living room floor to ceiling with pillows, but with an invisible zipper pillow class on the 22nd I thought some new samples were in order. I fell hard for this new Amy Butler when I went to see Keli of Drygoods Design. She pulled it off the shelf and the next minute I was walking out with it.
And seeing as we finally got around to getting a new cover made for the ottoman it seemed fitting to have something matchie-matchie. That’s my excuse at least.
Now I need to get that Kaleidoscoping God’s Eye Quilt off the design wall and make this wee man a Unknown Direction quilt of his own.
Smashing curtains!
All those aquas in the pillows and the ottoman match together beautifully!
Love those curtains, but yes, you need to cover the poor freezing child… 😉
Love that double binding. On my list of techniques to master.
Just cut 1″ strips, iron in half wrong sides together and sew them on end to end of quilt with 1/8″ seam. Sew binding as usual over them. Tada!
Thank you!! I searched for instructions to do the double binding this afternoon and came up with nothing. Then I thought I should just come back here and see if maybe, hopefully someone else wanted to know in the comments and you had answered them already. They did! And you did! Wahoo!
Those curtains are terrific! And, oh my, the double binding, wow! You are inspiring!!!
Aack, that God’s Eye WIP on your wall looks amazing!!! Can’t wait to see how that comes together.
