1930's Quilt

Maryann pieced this fun 1930's sampler quilt as a block of the moth hosted by American Quilting.

I custom machine quilted it for her, including a lot of stitch-in-the-ditch quilting to keep the 1930's look.

This is the back of the quilt..... I had to share it.. because my quilt backs are never this A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

Super cute isn't it!

Pinwheel Quilt

Yesterday I finished machine quilting this fun pinwheel quilt for Susan.

Susan wanted custom machine quilting. So I quilted arcs in each of the pinwheels, I love how it gives the pinwheels a sense of movement.

Then I quilted this modern medallion in each of the solid blocks. It really gave the quilt a lot of cool textures.

The quilt back looked pretty cool when I was finished. So I have to share a couple pics.

Okay, time to quilt again!Yipee!

Ruffle Fabric & Flowers

While at Quilt Market I came across some darling Ruffle Fabric. They had some darling samples of little dresses made from this and I thought it'd be perfect to make a little dress for my little girl.... I'm not much of a clothing sewer so we'll see how this goes.Basic Grey, who I think is awesome, were selling these darling felt flowers. The ruffle fabric and these flowers really got me excited!So....I've got big plans to make a dress, and incorporate some of these flowers.... something vintage looking and have 4yr old pictures taken within the next 12 days.So here I go!Wish me luck!!

The Cutting EDGE ~ Ruler

While at Quilt Market I picked up one of Sullivans new The Cutting EDGE rulers. I've read about these for a while now but just hadn't ever tried one of them.

So.... here's the scoop on these cool new rulers, along the right side of the ruler they have a sharpening blade, made to sharpen your rotary cutter with each cut. Pretty nifty isn't it. I just started using mine yesterday so I'm not sure how long it will keep this blade sharp but if it keeps it sharper longer than it's definitely worth it!
The only disclaimer I have to share about this ruler is the sound. Since there is that sharpening edge on the ruler it makes a little noise when you sharpen. It totally caught me off guard the first time that I used it. Other than that it seems awesome. And... check out that nice grid system on the ruler, the amazing Pat Sloan designed that!Purchase Cutting EDGE rulers here.

Quilt Market ~ Fall 2011

Quilt Market is always so much fun, but oh boy such a creativity overload!

There are so many fun fabric lines, books, notions, magazines and so on that are coming out in the next few months. If you were following along with me on Facebook and Twitter you probably saw what I was up to most of the time.. Including arriving in Houston and realizing that I had forgotten to take pants.
I have a few books, rulers and some fun ruffle fabric that I am going to be sharing and reviewing over the next few weeks.
Okay, time for me to head back to the quilting machine!Have a great day!
