Alright ... so I guess it's time to come clean ... I have a LOT going on in the sewing world ... but that's just the way I like it! I think this list may be more for my benefit so I can keep it straight ....
1. Quilt Sample ....
I'm working on my first quilt that will be featured in a quilting/fabric store as a sample!! Ahh - some people may not be as excited about it - but I just think this is the coolest thing, ever!! I feel {almost} famous ... ha, ok there I admitted it out loud! So wanna see a picture??
This is coming along much quicker than I would have thought - I am hoping to finish this by mid May/beginning of June ....
2. Wheel Quilt
Pattern from Stitched in Color's Curves class.
I first posted about this project here . This quilt is being made for a co-worker ...I think it looks great so far - and more importantly, so does my friend! =) I'm pretty proud of my progress so far ... the arcs came together pretty quickly! I hope to finish this up in the next few weeks
3. Challenge Quilt
Hm - this isn't going so well ... I am {hoping} to enter a quilt into a challenge being run by Seminole Sampler So far, I only have an idea in my head involving circles and a pile of fabric ... it's due June 1st! Wish me luck!
4. DWR QAL ....
I've made small headway on this project ... 40 of 80 arcs sewn ... I think I'm enjoying the slow pace of this project .... but at the same time, I can't wait for it to be done, b/c I think it is really going to be stunning.
FOREVER ON HOLD:
here are my projects that at this point are forever on hold ....
- sundress ... ahh, it's too intimidating to make a garment
- Valentine's Bee Quilt - they look nice - but doesn't seem like the right time of year to work on this
- Snowflake Quilt - ahh, I can't figure out how to pull this one together - I know it can be amazing ... I just need inspiration to hit
- Puttin' On the Ritz D9P quilt ...love the fabric, but no real purpose for it leaves it in the drawer waiting to be finished
Thanks for stopping by - go check out what all the other wonderful sewists are up to - there is a link @ the bottom of my page for "WIP-Wednesday" over @ Freshly Pieced. I'm linking up as well.

Hi! So glad you came to visit my blog. Click on "About Me" to get the full low down on my life in Baltimore. I'd love to hear from you. ~Laura





First of all, your color wheel quilt is beautiful! I love the patchwork wedges. Also, congrats on the quilt shop sample - that would make me feel famous too, I think.
ReplyDeleteBut mainly - I love that you're using Prince Charming for a DWR quilt. I pieced my first DWR with the same fabric in the same colorway, albeit with a slightly different pattern. They're like quilt twins! It will be fun to see how yours comes together. We'll see if I ever get mine quilted so that I can share it too...
Gosh what beautiful projects, as I scrolled down I saw more and more that I love. I can understand why you would be excited about having a quilt hanging in a store, fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour wheel and the DWR arcs, both quilts are going to be stunning.
