Quilt Top Complete

August 21, 2015 by Angie 4 Comments

Another Quilt Top is complete!!

But …. I have a few things I need to tweak before I can share how I made it.

I suspected when I started sewing that I was going to run into an issue … and I did.

I think I have a fix … the only way to know is to make another and see if it works.

I thought about asking someone that’s sewn for years and years to help me … but I’d rather just figure it out myself.
I have two different ideas on how to fix it … I’m hoping the first way does it!

It’s pretty much a square quilt … 72 x 73 ….. so I turned it both ways to take a picture.

See ya!

p.s. I’m trying to use my stash of fabric … I’ve found that fabric is like Designer Series Paper and you tend to hoard it.

New Quilt in the Works

August 20, 2015 by Angie 3 Comments

I’ve started a NEW quilt and it’s either going to be a brilliant idea …. or a really bad one.

When the idea came to me …. I thought it was brilliant … but …… the more I sew … the more I question myself.

I tried to plan it all out on paper ….. but my brain just doesn’t work that way.

So, I cut all my fabric … now I’m sewing ….. we shall see in a few days … or a week.

I’m anxious to see if it’s going to work …but ….I’m severely behind on my to do list!!!!

I had a doctors appointment today … and I always come home totally exhausted …. that just means no work today (Bella and I are gonna take a nap soon).

If I can get all my projects designed and filmed for next week …. I will work on it.

How do you like that?

I force myself to get all my work done …..before I allow myself some sewing time (I feel like a child at times).

Verna Butterfly Quilt

I wrapped up the Butterfly Quilt ….. and it’s ready for the longarm quilter.

I filmed a video while making it ….. my goal to have the video ready is two weeks.

See ya!

Modern Folkloric Double Scoops Quilt

May 1, 2015 by Angie 2 Comments

The Modern Folkloric Double Scoops Quilt is complete.

Technically you can call it a Jelly Roll Quilt …but because of the brand of fabric …. it’s called a Double Scoop instead of a Jelly Roll.

I love all the cute fabric names!!

I explained this quilt back a few months ago … and I didn’t want to show it until the person received it. She received it yesterday.

Here’s a picture of the quilt top before I took it to the long arm quilter …..

I was at KU Medical for several hours yesterday (tests) then I rushed home to pick up the house before the house cleaners came ….. and then Dave and I went to the awesome Royals game.

I’m too tired to even think today.

See ya!

p.s. I’ll update the Health page as soon as I can a burst of energy (let’s pray that’s tomorrow morning).

Ambleside Quilt Top

April 28, 2015 by Angie 2 Comments

The Ambleside Quilt Top is finally complete!

It took me longer than expected …. because I kept changing my mind.

I started with 5 Fat Quarters and then changed it to 7.

It measures 47 x 72 … crazy size I know!

Next time I’ll mix up the fabric and make it wider.

I could have added another row ….but I had already bought my backing fabric.

Next up … I’ll be taking this quilt to my longarm quilter.

Here are the posts about the Ambleside Quilt

UPDATE

Here’s all the details for this quilt …..

Quilt measures: 47 x 72
Fabric Line: Ambleside by Moda Fabrics
Fabric needed: 7 Fat Quarters & White Jelly Roll + backing and binding fabric

7 rectangles/blocks across – 6 rectangles/blocks down.
7 patterns of fabric – you need 6 rectangles of each pattern.

Each Rectangle measures: 5 x 10
Attach a white 2-1/2 x 5 rectangle to the bottom of each 5 x 10 rectangle.
10 Sashing Strips (I used White Jelly Roll Strips)

Special Notes

Attach a 2-1/2 x 5 white strip to the bottom of each rectangle (except bottom row – that will be a long sashing strip)

See ya!
