postage stamp quilt

::Welcome Guild Baby Number…::

August 2, 2011 By Katie

The Seattle Modern Quilting Guild welcomes Ingrid, our newest baby addition.

I’ve been waiting for Ara Jane to have a spare moment to post the postage stamp quilt the guild made her little girl before I shared it here.

I’ve been picking the blocks and colors, which is the most fun and no one seems to mind.

The rest is a guild effort.  Those that can make a block do.

We’ve all taken turns putting the quilts together.

Melissa pieced this one and added the snowdrop jar block.

Snowdrop was the nickname Ara Jane would use around us for the baby when she was pregnant.

Sandie is our go to baby quilt quilter and always so sweet to finish up the binding as well.

Ara Jane’s pictures are much better, not to mention sweeter with baby action shots, so make sure to go take a look.

::Solstice Quilt Done::

June 9, 2011 By Katie

I had a cramp in my right calf for two days after quilting the Solstice Quilt, seriously.

It seemed I spent as much time ripping out quilting as putting it in.  Either it was the free-motion design I didn’t like or the color of thread, but it is D-O-N-E and ready for its first picnic, parade or beach run.

I was thinking simple and then went crazy with the quilting.  I free-motioned squares onto the postage stamp blocks.

Went loopy on all the sashing around the postage stamps.

On the black sashing I free-motioned triangles.  Where they cross created a cool secondary design.

I hadn’t really given thought to what the back would look like with all the different stitching and I gotta say it’s a little crazy, but what-ever, it’s about to eat urban dirt anyway.

We have the family represented, Aquarius, Gemini and Cancer.

I did add pockets to the back corners to weight it down with stones as instructed by Erin at House on Hill Road.

I just love all the color.

A BIG thanks to my Cottage Quilting Bee friends for bringing it together for me!

I apologize if you don’t see your block.  Some where hidden under some fabric I was cutting for sashing and I sadly sliced right through them.

And in case that isn’t enough photos for you, then there’s the pulled from the dryer quilt love.

I added a little rainbow edge to the binding too.

Do you think it goes with its Solstice Parade inspiration?  Our neighborhood parade is right around the corner.

This quilt will see a ton of use before the end of summer for sure.  Now we just need some good weather in Seattle or I’m going to be wearing this quilt more then sitting on it.

I’ll hang it up tomorrow for a better shot.
