Finis!

Color-work charm quilt. I love this one and am actually keeping it for myself - so ha!


Detail of the machine quilting (thank you BSR!)

Pin basting the color work quilt

My little heart box of curved pins just waiting for me to pin baste my latest quilt. It's on the machine now and I'm currently just working on some stitch in the ditch. I'd like to do some curves afterwards but I'm not so proficient at free motion quilting. Guess I've got to learn sometime though! I do have some older quilts that I'm not so fond of so I might practice on them first.

Where's the dip?

I've not really made any time for quilting as of late. Life is so busy! But I couldn't resist working a little bit on what I've come to refer to in my head as the potato chip quilt. It's so easy to just knock out a few of these snack size bits out! I'm half way though cutting out one little triangle from all my red and pink fabrics. I've still got a stack of blacks in envelops that I need to go though and cut out not only 5" squares for the trade but little triangles as well.




What I really should be working on is the round robin quilt that I need to mail out in two weeks - yikes!

Lured away by Yarn. Uh Oh.

I want to thank everyone for sending along some really beautiful and fun, funky fabrics! It's been so great. =) I'm working on cutting up swatches to send back out. Have patience with me - there's a lot to get though! I'll try to post some pictures as I get my charms cut up.

I've also been a little distracted with a new craft. (Uh oh!) Crochet is really addictive and is a lot more portable when chasing after a toddler. I made my first scarf! Yay. I know - I need to get back to all my quilting projects. 0.o

5" Charm Swap

I'm starting the collection process for a thousand pyramid charm quilt. I'm using any and all fabrics for 1/2 the pyramids but the other 1/2 I want to be mostly black. I have a few of these kinds of fabrics but will need many, many more. So I'm here appealing to you all to help me. If you could find it in your hearts (and stashes) to pull some 5" x 5" swatches of good quality mostly black fabrics (see picture below for samples of what I'm looking for...)

I will happily pull an equal number of whatever I have that you might be looking for and mail some 5" swatches back to you. I have batiks, calicos, kid prints, solids, etc. Just pop a note in your envelope with what you want.
Any takers?! Thanks for all your help!
Cheers~
