First, the "Easter" project. Not really Easter, but Bridget has been calling it the Easter Basket Quilt, so... I'm thinking it could work for a little girl's room or a tea party (what else would I think?!). Once again, I used Quiltsmart interfacing and this time it was Amy Hamblin's "Marabella" fabrics for the baskets:
I had Crazy Wendy quilt a tulip pattern on it for me. (Seriously, she is unstable.) Why did I put the not-perfect ric-rac handle right in the middle?
Can you see that cute little butterfly quilted into the white fabric? I'm so easily amused.
Speaking of being amused, I made another Christmas lone star with Riley Blake's "Be Merry" fabric. This time I used the fabric with The Night Before Christmas printed on it for the border. As I was working on it I was getting subliminal messages:
Ahahahahaha! Like I said, I'm easily amused.
Save your comments about the porch rocker - I know I need to paint it. It's a fun quilt, right? I think I do like
the other one better, though. And this photo makes the blues look more psychedelic than they look in real life.
Next, a pumpkin seed! Surprising, I know. I realized I didn't have very many table quilts for square or round tables compared to the runners. Ta da!
Can you see the pumpkin seed/flower in the border fabric? Fun. For me, anyway. :)
Last and least, I'm experimenting with potholders/trivets and the Grandmother's Flower Garden block. Especially after noticing in the aftermath of one of my tea parties that the hot teapots had burned my dining room table. I digress...
I can't decide if it was successful. I like how it looks, but it took a lot of time, which means I need to charge appropriately for it. Anyway...
I might do one or two more before I make my final decision.
Happy Sew & Tell Friday, everyone! Go to
Amy's blog to check the rest.
