I took today off and I’ve been cutting and sewing all morning. This is the first of many baby quilts to come. I am hoping, HOPING that I’ll finish this quilt by the end of the weekend. So far all the horizontal strips are done. You can see that I’m not a big fan of ironing but I’ll have to do some major ironing before joing the strips together. This quilt is actually going pretty fast because I’m not doing precise cutting or piecing so there are no corners to match up (yay!).
A local fabric store was having a 40% off all fabrics sale yesterday and here’s what I got on my lunchtime shopping spree. They didn’t have some of the Amy Butler fabrics I wanted but I still got some really cool prints. Yay for 40% off!
OK, I’m ready to make something to give away! When you leave a comment, please indicate whether you would like a doll quilt or a zippered pouch. You can also request something else made with the above pieces (coasters, bag, etc.) and I’ll try to make them but no promises.
I’ll randomly pick one of the comments left by midnight tomorrow (5/25, EST) and will reveal the winner and prize on Tuesday. Who are you people who’s been reading my dinky little blog? It’s time to delurk! Don’t be shy!
A very pink quilt at the request of a friend. I started this last night…cutting the pieces on my (new to me) 6ft long folding table that I got from Craigslist. It’s sooooo nice to have a large cutting table and the best part is that I can fold it up and lean it against the wall when I need more floor space. All the fabric came from the 5 bags of scraps another friend found on the street. I sewed this on the Singer 401 and it was great because I cleaned it out even more last night and now the machine is incredibly smooth. Older sewing machines rock!
