Projects…..many many

I have been quiet in this space.  Maybe too quiet. 

I have projects in place.

1.  My Bee Quilt of all Amy Butler Fabrics.  It’s going to look so great!  I ran out of sashing putting the top together.  I finally found the matching fabric and will complete the top!

2.  My brick path quilt that I started during our winter snow fall.  The top is done.  I need to find fabric for the back.

3.  I want to make a baby quilt.  I am thinking something like this design, which I love…or this, which will be great for those tiny fingers. 

4.  The duvet cover for my bedroom.  Again, the top is done.  I need to buy the fabric for the back. 

My plan was to finish the tops for 1 and 2, then quilt them both, then do #4.  I think I need to now complete #3 first, since I want to get that completed while the baby is still, well, a baby! 

What is wrong with me?  Time to finish one project before I move on to the next!

(And I STILL have that bench to finish sanding and painting!!!!)

Inspiration for my bedroom

Ahhh. Aren’t they pretty?

The stripe will be my new duvet cover. I've already sewn together the top, just need to purchase the bottom part.

The block - a block made from my PTQB last year. That's on my list to finish!

The solid - a silk fabric...I am thinking of using it for drapes for the French Doors in our bedroom. I am still debating if it is too dark...

Even though I am working on a new quilt, my mind continues to go towards the other quilts and items I want to make. I am so inspired. I am craving spring and sunny days...can you tell by all the color in these photos?

Custom Roman Shades

 

I finally finished the roman shades for Nathan’s room.  The first one (on the right) sat half way done for 6 months.  The second one I completed in 1 weekend. They were not bad to do at all.

My little Ladybug

I made this dress last month.  I loved the fabric.  The dress came together so easily, too.

Corinne has worn it about 4 times already.  It’s also big enough that she can wear it next year.

I added little ladybug buttons as the finishing touch.

Follow the Pink, Green, Blue and Brown Brick Road

I’ve been sewing again.  I’ve not been posting, but trust me, I have been sticking to my goals of sewing this year.  I am sewing for my house and family.  It’s been great!

I started this quilt this week, thanks to the snow that pounded us this past week.  The pattern is Amy Butler’s Brick Path Quilt.  I’ve had this on my “to do” list for quite a while.

Wednesday I cut out all the bricks and this morning I finished the strips.  I may get to pressing the seams later today.  My goal is this week to get all the strips sewn together.

I really like the way the colors have come together.  I am still rather new to the quilting thing..and the hardest part really seems to be picking out the fabrics and choosing a design!

Like my flannel design “wall”?  I am going to do something more formal, but don’t have the resources this weekend.  So, I used my son’s flannel bed sheet.  It’s working so far! 

Happy Valentine’s Day

 

To you and yours, happy Valentine’s Day!
