I haven't had a lot of free time lately to sew or participate in fun events, but thought I'd make an exception for the Freespirit blog tour for Kaffe Fassett's latest collection, Artisan. I can't show much just yet but here's a sneak peek!
I am forever making things at the last minute, and this baby quilt for a friend was no exception! I cut the squares on Thursday night, sewed it together, quilted, and sewed the binding to the front on Friday night, and stitched the binding down by hand on Saturday before the shower. I even had five spare minutes to photograph it before I had to head to the shower on Saturday! I love a good challenge :)
I was so honored when my friends Faith, Lee, and Katie asked me to be a part of their Summer Sampler series. All three ladies are so talented and their collaborations have been amazing! If you don't have their book, Vintage Quilt Revival, you should get it, it's a great one! For their Summer Sampler 2016, they asked several designers to join them for the series to create twenty 12" blocks and three different quilt layouts.
I was so excited when Beth from Stash Fabrics asked me to be a part of her Design Star Monthly Club & Contest! I love putting bundles together and it has been a long time since I've done it for a shop, so putting together a bundle for the month of July was a lot of fun!
The Chromatic Quilt was the first quilt I sketched out with Brush Strokes in mind, and it was so much fun to make a quilt out of my own fabric! Even on a tight timeline (I think I made this quilt in about four days from start to finish) I really enjoyed putting this one together.
