framed quilt

my husband tells me that this quilt looks like picture frames, so that will be it's name. i took my sewing machine pedal to the shop, and they fixed it in 5 minutes--no big deal. i was happy.

this quilt was started forever ago (seems like it, anyway). my sisters and i did a fabric swap last summer and i finally got a quilt made out of it. i'm really liking it.

i'm not in love with the back (particularly the daisy print), but i am happy that i used that huge piece of fabric up and it's no longer sitting on the shelf for me to wonder what i will ever use it for.

mangled

yesterday i vacumned up my foot pedal cord--so frustrating. i won't be sewing for a while. hopefully the cord can be replaced, and not the entire foot, they can be pretty spendy.

wagon wheels

I finished up my spiderweb quilt, and definitely think it looks a lot more like wagon wheels than spiderwebs.
It measures 40in X 40in.

I used the tutorial found here, with some slight modifications...It's made up of 16 blocks, but I didn't 'spiderweb' each block all the way. I wanted the wagon wheels to all be complete, so I omitted some of the piecing, I also didn't paper piece (not a fan of picking off the paper--I guess I am lazy, I would rather be doing something else).

One of my all time favorite prints on the back, happy campers by heather ross.

I didn't expect to love the binding as much as I do, but I found this really great red polka dot, and I think it just makes the quilt!

I'm nearly 31 weeks, and this will definitely be for our baby girl who's due to come in October.

mushrooms and coins baby quilt

this is a custom made quilt, with a request for lots of mushrooms!

my favorite part might just be the backing, originally i was going to put more mushrooms, but then i stumbled on this 3 little pigs print from sew deerly loved on etsy. i really, really like it.

another

i'm thinking these look more like wagon wheels than spiderwebs...this will probably be for our new baby, i don't think i want to give it away.

a quilt top!

is it really july 30th already? it has been a busy month for us, so not much sewing going on. i did manage to finish up this quilt top, and hope to get it quilted before too long...

spiderweb

I finally gave in and decided to jump on the bandwagon and make one of these spiderweb quilts. I am using the tutorial found here...although I'm being a little lazy and only using three strips and I decided to forego the paper-piecing. This will be a baby quilt, not very big--which is good, I lose interest in quilts fast, and this one is somewhat labor intensive.
