Paper piecing workshop development and sample made, CHECK! And totally drool worthy if I don’t say so myself.
The Foundations of Paper Piecing Workshop is listed if you find yourself with some spare time on March 14th.
A New York Beauty block has been on the bucket list F-O-R-E-V-E-R.
I bought just enough new make me happy fabrics and combined them with some old to create a new to me color way. It seemed to just come together on the design wall so effortlessly. As usual it matches nothing in my house.
The white/creams I pulled from the scrap bins. There’s even some flannel in there.
It ended up that neither the shot cotton and the flannel on the front, nor the voile on the back created the headaches I imagined.
I crosshatched it in a lightly variegated lilac thread. This easy off the edge quilting design has the kind of impact makes me happy. Off course all quilting minds of Seattle that I saw last week were consulted;)
I almost put the voile back into the stash.
It’s one of those fabrics I have to force myself to cut into if I had curtains in mind five years ago. There’s still that hope of getting to that alive;) The decision was a good one, it pairs perfectly with the front.
If you’re headed to Quiltcon please go say hi to my quilts. There are two on exhibit and I just finished up this one here for display there in Island Quilter’s booth.
It will look a little bit more lively than it does it this taken at midnight photo.
This quilt thoroughly falls under the “it doesn’t have to be perfect to love it” category and I considered not sending it due to some obvious struggles I had quilting it, but then I reminded myself that perfection isn’t what it’s all about.
Happy week peeps. I hope it’s a good one;)
Those are awesome, great job. Good luck at the Quilt Show.
Love the pillow!!
I will be at QuiltCon and drooling over your quilts!!!
Wow . . . I LOVE it!
Colors in the quilt are so pleasing to the eye. I also need to do a NY beauty block…I think starting with a pillow Top will get me Motivated!

Hi Sarah. Follow the link in the post to the quilting loft;)
The colors you chose and pattern are really amazing, looks fantastic!
Love the New York Beauty pillow and congratulations on another quilt finish. I’ll be on the lookout for your quilts in Austin. My opinion is that there is no “perfection”, just varying degrees of loveliness!
This is simply the most visually ‘right’ design I have ever seen!!
It simply sings off the ‘couch’
Well done, you’re very inspiring

Head over to my page and check out my zombie softie. He’s a little creepy and quirky but still lovable 🙂 I wish I could quilt as well as you, I’m still a quilting noob though 😛

This pillow is so fantastic it doesn’t have any need to match anything else in the house.
Beautiful.
I like, I like!
Ooooj I love this. It’s a nice modern take on patchwork 🙂
cool! Looks like it could be related to Scandinavian style
I love Scandinavian;)
Love the quilt at the Island Quilter booth. At first glance thought you had used a striped fabric. Testament to your great abilities! How was the linen fabric to work with?
Haha, You’ll have to read my next post, not so good;)
