Ha ha… is there such a thing as overly inspired??? I am so loving the work I am doing on this quilt… still not happy with all my piecing work but loving my hand quilting work!
But I find myself inspired to try a kit, learn some new techniques by those that know, and make some quilts for us to use instead of the store bought comforters.
So… I bought my first kit! Yahoo… here is a screen shot of it… I found it in the July/August Love of Quilting 2013
It measures about 55 inches wide by 65 inches long… LOVE it! It will look wonderful in my foyer or dining room so I love that it will get lots of attention when it is out… and it holds special meaning for me… meaning I feel like it was made just for me almost…
You see…
The 4 candles represent my 4 children (DL, James, Mike, & Brandi)
The 2 hearts represent my 2 loves (my husband til he died and now my honey)
The 4 poinsettas represent my 4 best friends (Pam, Brandy, Connie & Joyce)
I will bejewel the christmas tree so we avoid putting up a tree every year… this will be our place to stack presents… underneath this beautiful wall hanging
I love the chevrons across the top and bottom.. wish you could see the border fabric better but it really ties in all the colors
I may change the mittens to dauchshunds if I get bold enough but I just LOVE the fun holly border top and bottom… Have I missed an inch of this quilt kit yet?
All it is missing is the batting and backing so I will be on the lookout for something fitting for the back… or may just do muslin… not sure 🙂 Whatever it will be awesome and it will be done ALL by hand and by mine to keep!
Also coming up is my bestie Connie’s visit. She will be staying a week and we will have a quilting fiesta while she is here… we have puzzles to work and beach trips planned… as well as a quilt shop day too! So much quilty goodness!
What is your fave part of crafting??? Would love your feedback!
Check out this great quilt I found on a google search…. this is what I aspire to do someday!
Have a blessed crafty week!

my favorite part is the creating – making the quilt top –picking out the colors — designs to go in it.
