Mine is Fall… Tennessee Fall to be exact…
Didn’t this turn out just LOVELY!!!
I will do a formal post on this very soon.. but I am just giddy to share this shot… and the journey that led to this finish deserves a post all it’s own…
So yes, Fall is my favorite season.. What is yours???
Since I finished this quilt with fun hand quilting … then washed, dried, and hung this beauty… I am linking to Kathy’s Slow Stitching Sunday post… HERE!
Now I have switched gears and started marking my daughters’ graduation quilt!!! In 1 year and a few month she will be graduating from high school!!!
So she got this flimsy for Christmas…
she picked it out online as just a flimsy so that I could hand quilt it done for her 🙂
So after some fits and starts and erasures… I have a pattern going and I currently have 2 of the 9 carpenters wheel stars marked…
but check out how the white background is getting stitched…
I do hope you can see the meandering star and moon pattern I am marking on the white background…
On this quilt I am marking with graphite, white chalk & white ceramic lead size 0.09 mm… this will all wash out when I am done but is safe for the quilt as it shall take me several months to stitch all this… I am choosing to mark the quilt before layering because the designs are so involved and I need the straight lines drawn neatly for me when I quilt… will go MUCH faster for me 🙂
Her idea is… I stitch all the black/grey areas in white thread (YLI) and all the white background meanderings in black thread (YLI)… then we will add some dark red (Valdani Perle 8 cotton) big stitching to the stars to make them pop a bit… very exciting and different from anything I have ever done and VERY QUilTy when finished! lol
In the meanwhile, my friend Wendy is getting a Double Wedding Ring Template Set! I am very excited about this as I have always wanted to do this pattern… so I bought the template set as well! It is by Marti Michell and will be a project in the future for me..
I am in a fb group for DWR designs and see lovely eye candy there… so many ideas!!!
Once I finish the 3rd carpenters wheel and star I will be making Kaydence some bibs with both Zena and Gloria! Here are some of the fabrics I have pulled along with the perfect thread I found in my stash… and a cool pattern I found online…
Here is the cute recipient of these bibs to be…
I am blessed to call her my granddaughter for sure!
Here is my inspiration to encourage my design…
I found this one for sale on Etsy 🙂
So I best get back to marking… this sweetie needs some handmade bibs !!! lol
Whooping up all this accomplishments and plans with Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict HERE
Have a blessed weekend and always remember…
