Hey, Hey,I mentioned that I started another quilt this past week. I snapped a photo the other day of my cut pieces. I think the cutting is my favorite part because I have to decide which colors to use. You all know I love color. Here's what I have so far, believe it or not this is going to be a more muted quilt....ha ha I know for some of you it will still be crazy bright.
I have a goal of making four quilts, my hubby had the brilliant idea of making a cool quilt rack for the living room. It's going to be all folk art-y( is that a word?) We want it to hold four quilts then we can all choose which quilt we want to use and they will be displayed like a piece of art. I have a long way to go since I only have one quilt made. Of course, I will keep you posted on my progress.
Have a great day,
Jennifer
OOH....love the fabrics....cant wait to see the quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Frances, I can't wait to see it either. I am doing some hand appliqué on it and it's taking forever. I am enjoying the hand sewing more than I thought so that's good.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Jennifer
Fantastic! I always love to see your creations!!

Love the quilt Jennifer- I know you will have beautiful color combinations because you have a great eye with your jewelry.
ReplyDeleteI love the fun fabrics that you have chosen for this one.
Playing with fabric is just as addictive as playing with beads.
By the way, I love your carnival bead necklace - it is so much fun - I want to reach out and touch it.
Regards,
Anna
Hi there! This looks like so much fun!!! Can't wait to see it!!! And how did the show go? Did you make it to PA?
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the colors of the cut pieces and I know the finished product will be amazing! I can't imagine the time it takes to cut and sew each little piece, and then sew all the pieces together. I don't think I have that much patience!
ReplyDeleteAlice,
ReplyDeleteI find it kind of meditative, all the cutting and sewing. I also like projects that take a lot of time to finish. I am doing different steps along the way so it's not always the same.
I'll keep showing pictures as I go.

Wow Jennifer. I didn't know you quilted too. I love your colors, they are my favorite too.
ReplyDeleteWho quilts them for you? Or do you do it yourself!!!
Hi Harriet,
ReplyDeleteI quilted my last quilt on my machine because it was just straight lines. But usually I take them up to my moms house because she has a long arm. I would love my own someday. That reminds me, I was supposed to get your contact info for a friend that needs a quilt quilted.
