The De-Stash Project

It's time. Time for what? A massive de-stash.  I am terrible for holding onto fabrics for some future time. Well it's time.  I am going to be bold and try and use up as much of my stash as I can with different projects - pillows, table runners, throws etc.  Watch out for new items, tutorials and a new Etsy shop.  Yes, ANOTHER one!

My Pennant Quilt Progress

I am still squirreling away on my paper pieced quilt and about half done with the top. Superbowl weekend I laid my first lot of strips out and found one doesn’t quite match in size which is a little irritating and also mystifying, but I am sure I will come up with a way make it work. I have made a new template to add straight edges to each end of the pennant style triangles so that I have a straight rectangular quilt to work with when the strips are sewn together.

New Zakka Bag!

Working on a Zakka inspired satchel, stay tuned for more, pictures in the next few days - Zambian internet permitting!!!

The Wedding Quilt

The wedding day came so I can now share with you the quilt I have been secretly working on for the last few months.

The block is maple leaf, mostly hand stitched and completely hand-quilted. The names and date we added by transfer because I didn't have time to embroider them, the flowers are embroidered. The photos were taken in Charleston South Carolina the day before the wedding.
