Oh man a week of work after a week of sewing bliss, that was a REALLY long week. The only sewing I got done was the binding on the square pants quilt. Last pictures of this one. I did have show that I do finish things all the way :) The pattern for this quilt can be found here at Lilly's Qulits.
Here's a project I'm working on with Anna. She's 12 and this is her first quilt. She's making it for project linus. She asked me if I would work on one with her. It took all of a nano second for me to say "you bet!". I did the cutting and the ironing. She did sewing and designing. She picked out a jelly roll (cuz I still have a few :) and here's what she came up with. We have all the blocks together, and started sewing the blocks into rows. We sewed for 5 hours straight, well with one pizza break!! What fun. Anna has a really good 1/4 inch seam going on these blocks. I think she's doing great :)
Linking up with Sarah
I am blown away by your beautiful quilting!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is GORGEOUS!!!! I'd love a few minutes (or hours or days) with that quilt, just to admire and drool and be inspired!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you and Anna on the Project Linus quilt. You both did a great job!
that quilting is AWESOME!! wow! gorgeous feathers and bubbles in the spine of them....
ReplyDeleteAnna's quilt looks great too!! very nice especially for a first quilt, my first quilt didn't look that nice :-)
Again - you just blow me away with your quilting. You turned a a pretty plain block quilt into a masterpiece. How fun to have a youngster getting into quilting - 5 hrs. is super sewing! Love this pattern and it does work up quickly.
