Progress from last week: same. However, I did finish the top AND the pieced back for my Plume quilt (so that's progress). Also I pieced the backing for my Girls Best Friend (the Horse Edition). Hopefully my Jelly Parfait with Nicey Jane will be back from the quilter soon, and I'll actually be able to report a finish.

Well that should do it. Sorry for no pretties, but it is my birthday today, and Carrot Cake is calling. I'm sure you all understand.

Sunday Stash Wk. 2

Well I've still been a busy bee with all the sewing. I have the top finished for my Plume quilt finished, but I can't show it to you, because I'm toying with the idea of publishing a pattern for it. I'm really proud of how it turned out, and think that it is a versatile pattern for many different fabric ranges.

That being said I did purchase 3.25 yards of Full Moon Forest (one lonely bolt left in the store) to add to my scrappy backing for the plume quilt (I needed nearly 6 yards total for the back. This is the print I used:

Since I can't show you my plume quilt yet, I thought I'd show you another quilt top I finished in the last week. Although I can't take complete credit for the design (I've seen many quilts along these lines), I did do all the piecing without directions. It is made from one Jelly Roll of 1974 by Urban Chiks for Moda, and a whole lot of Kona Coal.

I really love this quilt, and it ended up 67"x95"!!! Thats like a dorm twin! I think I will try some free motion quilting on this one, but not until I take Cindy's class next month. I feel like I'll need a support group for this puppy!

Well that about sums it up! I hope everyone has a great week!!!

Ok...this is scary. I have WAY more projects than I thought I did, and this is not including the still unfinished projects from when I started quilting (I was 8 years old). This is also not including all the fabric I have just because. Yikes. Help.

Sunday Stash wk 1. Plus: I have been sewing up a storm!!!

So...I graudated from college in December. Since then, I've been having a hard time adjusting to my new found free time. I've been a student my entire life, and now that I don't have homework to do, I have been looking for things to fill that space.

So...what have I been doing?! Quilting, that's what!

Our house is under construction right now (major remodel), so I have been sewing primarily at the store. Thankfully Kathy (the owner) has been kind enough to let me sew during un-filled classes, and when the store is closed.

Basically I live there.

So, in honor of my renewed dedication to this blog, I will have projects to show you all week. Also, today is the first of a new tradition of Sunday Stash!!! I have more fabric than I know what to do with, and I think this will help inspire me to use it.

Also, I hope to start participating in WIP Wednesdays, so that you guys can help keep me in check. I will list my projects; the ones that need to be pieced, and the ones that need to be quilted. It will be your job (*wink wink) to pester me and make sure I finish them.

My first project that I finished this week was my Meadowsweet 2 quilt. I used a pattern from Heather Mulder Peterson's "Livin Large" book. I had a lot of fun putting this together, but I had more fabric than I needed so I may have to find another project, or maybe (*gasp*) sell my scraps! We'll see what happens.

The Quilt:

And now, if you've stayed with me so far, it's time for my first ever Sunday Stash!!!

This week I broke down and bought fabric that I've wanted A LONG TIME. I spent WAY too much on it. It is none other than the OOP Moda Neptune by Tula Pink.

Lets all just take a moment and appreciate it's beauty.

Yeah...I know.

Have a good week everyone!
