Baby Girl Jeep Quilt

I’ve been working on this baby quilt.

I used these Accuquilt dies.

I also used my 2 1/2 inch strip cutter to cut dashing strips.then I used the 5 inch square die to subcut my dashing strips.

I made my binding while I was at it.

This should be quick to piece now. Have a great day!

Baby Quilt

My niece is having a baby girl! So this great aunt is making a Jeep quilt.

I cut my layer cake in half and then cut one half into 5 inch squares.

I wrapped up the leftover half layer cake for a future quilt.

Time to play! Have a good one!

This pretty top was put together by Cheryl.

I quilted it with a panto called Ground Cover by Urban Elementz .

I had this one made in a 16 inch width.

It is pretty labor intensive and time consuming in the original 10 inch size, but still looks great enlarged.

I wanted to let you know that Accuquilt Studio dies are half off until midnight tonight.

Make sure you use the code shown above.

Have a great day!

The beautiful top was made by Val. I used a panto called Techno on it.

The back was really pretty, the color is all wrong in this photo. Have a great day!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Kintsugi

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of mending pottery and using gold to fill in the cracks. It means that each time a pot is broken and repaired, it becomes more beautiful. That is what I was thinking about as I made this piece. It is 19 inches wide and 29 inches long.

I quilted random vertical lines with a 60 weight thread.

All of the fabrics were hand dyed by me.

Once again, I used a facing rather than than a binding.

This will be my second entry for the local art show. Wish me luck!

Have a great day!

Sewing for Winslow

You knew this was coming, didn’t you? 😁 Seriously, she shivers when I take her out at night and I haven’t found any clothes small enough. I’m also not willing to spend an arm and a leg. So I found this tutorial by The Crafty Gemini and made one out of scraps on hand.

It took a bit of tweaking, and I definitely got the stink eye.

But she looks cute and it keeps her warm. It took about 15 minutes total to make.

Have a great day!

Something New

I’m playing in the hand dyes again!

I can enter one or two items into the local art show for the same fee. So I’m trying to get something else ready to enter by Friday.

I haven’t worked with these skinny bits in a long while and I have a lot more exploring I want to do with this idea.

Have a great day!

Felt Flowers

Last week, my craft group with friends from my church got together at my house. We made felt flowers. It was fun!

My Accuquilt die cutter came in very handy! I cut circles and leaf shapes.

Here are my finished flowers. I wanted to make a wreath. They are not yet attached to the hoop.

Have a great day!

DWMonday ~ FQS Union Square Remix Part 2

Did you guess that this was the block I was working on for the Fat Quarter Shop quilt along?

I’m really loving these! The free pattern for these Union Square blocks is available on their web site.

This next photo shows my two choices for alternate blocks .

Also, thank you all for the lovely comments about Winslow! I’m sure you are not surprised that I am behind on responding to comments. 😁 She is settling in well.

Have a great day!
