Primary Delight

Inspired by all the beautiful weather we've been having in California, here is a sunny little patchwork play mat. I have had all these bright fabrics lying around from previous projects and couldn't resist putting them together. It is available in my shop...

Afternoon on the Farm

Today was such a gorgeous day! Finally there was no fog, and we spent a long afternoon outside enjoying the blue sky and the green grass. The sunshine also allowed me to take pictures of this quilt that I finally finished. Green and blue, just like the farm. I had all these skinny little strips of fabric and started sewing them together without really planning. This quilt kind of made itself, in a way. Maybe that's why it took SO long to finish. :) It is available in my shop.

Triangles!

I've posted a new mini quilt in the shop made entirely from triangles. This was my very first time using triangles EVER because they are such a pain to cut out. However, now that I have my new little toy it was easy! I used only fabrics from my scrap drawer, too, which made it even more fun. If someone gave this to me I would have a hard time deciding whether to let my baby use it or hang it up for decoration. More triangle quilts to come...

Custom Quilts

I finished up the custom order I've been working on, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. I really wanted to keep this bright one - I just love how the pure white sashing makes all the colors pop. Not very practical for a baby quilt, I know, but sometimes these things just need to be done.

I keep saying "and now I'm going to put some more things in the shop," but who knows what will pop up next. I keep almost finishing quilts and other projects, then spazzing off to start something else. Hopefully I can stay focused this week and actually get something finished. Happy Monday to you all!

Custom Patchwork Quilt

Here is the quilt top of a custom order I've been working on. The customer chose such bright and fun prints! I'm having tons of fun working on this and another gender-neutral one. I'll post more pictures as I finish these up. Today I hope to sew on the sashing and baste them (fingers crossed on that - Moses has soccer practice this evening and I'm still not organized enough to keep that from throwing off the whole rest of the day.)

I'm loving the orange-purple combination here. Pretty sweet. Happy Monday!

Little Farm Quilt

Here is the quilt I've been working on for the last few weeks. I decided to experiment by quilting it heavily, something I've never done. I really like how it turned out - the close quilting seams give the quilt a slightly nubby texture that is quite nice. Titus LOVED it - he kept rubbing his little (clean) hands all over it and smiling at me. I will say that quilting it like this took MUCH longer than usual and was a bit tedious, so I'm not sure if I will be doing it again any time soon! It's available in my shop. (Oh, and the edges of the quilt are straight - it just hung funny and kept blowing in the wind, which makes it look all wavy-edged.)

Happy Quilt Day

I love this quilt, partly because I used Momo's "Wonderland" fabrics in it, (and they are possibly my favorite fabrics EVER) and partly because of all the vintage fabrics I was able to integrate into it as well. Modern and vintage together just look so cool. This blanket is newly listed in the shop, thanks to a little break in the clouds today. I managed to throw on my boots and run through the mud, rig up a clothes line, pin up the quilt and snap a few shots before the boys woke up from their naps or the sun went back into hiding.
