Since I posted? Wow, it’s been crazy busy here! I do have a few finishes. I had to return the broken walking foot, the new one is much better. Sadly most of this was quilted with the first one so it’s not perfect (stitch length varies, straight lines not so straight, lol). I still love it, it should wash up nice.
I backed it with more of the great orange tie dye and bound it in a solid, more rust colored orange. I can’t remember the name of the charm pack I started with but I blogged it a while back. It wasn’t my favorite line on first glance but I adore the finished quilt.
This was a super un-traditional/modern/whatever wedding wall hanging quilt I made on commission. I can’t get a true color shot of this to save my life. It’s lime green & fuschia (yep, weird, those are the wedding colors). I had issues with the embroidery…I’m so glad she liked it because I had to rip it out and do it again and was about to start over with a fabric marker.
It has a ton of tiny pieces I drew & used raw edge applique (fusible). The walking foot totally ROCKS for quilting these! Lots of thread changes but I’m pretty happy with it and I have extra flowers & swirls that just didn’t fit in to use on a future project.
And a little yarn fun, this is my first ever string bag. I started with the standard Lily pattern & abandoned it for the top edge & strap (I’m not good at crochet instructions, I was impressed I got as far as I did). It only took me 2 days but I still haven’t woven in the tails, nor did I appropriately line up the color change when I switched balls but I like it just fine.
That’s it for today, thanks for stopping by!
