I've absolutely caught the quilting bug. I did a wall hanging for our home for Christmas and have officially crossed over into the "can't get enough of it" place.
Several months ago I bought a kit from a wonderful quilt store called Quilt Patch Lane. It was in beautiful blues and browns that actually match our bed set. I thought it would look so cool on our bed. Then I put it in a closet and forgot about it.
At Christmas I had some time and wonderful family that just let me sew. It had a really difficult outer border because the blue and brown squares had to alternate. I actually "worked it" so it matched up.
When I was just learning to quilt, my mom, a totally seasoned quilter/queen of all things sewn would tell me to just "work it." I would roll my eyes, thrown down the project and tell her to "work it" because that frustrated me. All those times she said it and I never understood it. Now I'm doing it. Here's the finished quilt top in really bad quality taken on my phone.
Then my family gave me some additional time to sew and watch Modern Family season 1 on DVD and I made this too:
It's a really cute pattern called Soul Mates by Sandy Gervais. If I could give a little shout out to Ms. Gervais! Her fabric and patterns are awesome. If I could buy stock in her creativity I so totally would.
Just thought I'd share. Now I'm onto the next project. 27 capes for a certain girl's upcoming birthday party. We're going to be superheros.
