Finished!

I finally finished the salt air quilt!!!  It turned out better than I thought it would when I first started.  I just love all the geometry in this quilt and the colors really pop.  This quilt is also the first quilt I'm putting up for purchase in my etsy shop.

I hope to make many more to put in the shop.  I'm almost finished working on the baby quilt I was laying out a few days ago and it should be finished today and photographed tomorrow.







I hope you've enjoyed following me along on this quilt journey.  I can't wait to start my next project.  I just got in my charming solids club selection of Vintage Modern!  I'll have to think of something extra special for that collection.

As I said before the Salt Air Quilt is listed in my etsy shop Salt Air HST Quilt  SOLD

Sewing with Sweet Sophie

{No animals were harmed in the making of this blog post}

My sweet cat Sophie has  been uncharacteristically awake and more characteristically

in the way!

Yesterday sweet Sophie decided the perfect place to look out the window was on my sewing table

{while I was attempting to sew}

even though she had an entire window ledge she could stretch out on.

She was quit content as her tail was swishing back and forth

Good thing I wasn't stippling!

despite the tail swishing distraction I managed to make some progress with my Salt Air charms

I was also able to cut them into fours and get them all pressed.

I'm still contemplating the layout but with any luck I'll have a quilt top done today.

Fingers crossed!

Having Fun With HST

I month ago I received my Charming Solids Club packet of Good Fortune fabrics.  I knew I was going to use this collection for my nieces 5 year-old quilt but I wasn't quit sure how I was going to use it.  It took me forever to decide and I'm really loving the challenge of coming up with different ways to use charm packs.  I finally decided on doing HST and I had plenty of white fabric on hand to do it.  So I set to work needing to finish this quilt quickly so I could take it to the party.











I think she really liked it!  I love how the colors are so vivid in this collection.  I will definitely make another one of these quilts.  It was fun, fast, and easy.  It was also the first time that I quilted using a wavy pattern which was also super fast and easy.

I would love to hear your comments or see you HST quilt projects.
