Quilting

I finished the Chevron Hearts top. Now I need to find a good backing fabric.

I have also started on a new quilt inspired by a project in Modern Patchwork, Spring 2014. The project is the "New World Pouch" using the Mayflower Block. I made a slightly larger template for my blocks, resulting in a 6.5" square. The pattern uses paper piecing, which I enjoy. I'm going to alternate between this pieced block and a solid grey block.

Pool Time

Granted, the kids started using the pool in April, but with the last day of school on Thursday and the warm weather settling in, it is officially pool season!

Chevron Hearts

In the spirit of using what I have, I've been able to put together a quilt top made from the scraps of another quilt and use up some white squares I had mis-cut. I will attach a wide white border. I need to buy some backing fabric but other than that, everything was on hand.

Frozen

Quinn loves music, and will dance or move to even the slightest bit of music...in a commercial...in the store...she just has an ear for it.

When the movie "Frozen" came out, she was very struck by the song "Let It Go".

Here she is, playing on the couch while the movie plays in the background. She has passion for the chorus!

One More Dress

I had such fun making her the first dress I turned around and made another. This fabric was supposed to be for an apron that went over a skirt that I had already made for myself years ago. As part of an effort to use up what fabrics I have, I was happy to have enough to make this dress and have begun piecing a simple quilt that will use up the rest of the collection. She loves the idea of not having sleeves and the pockets are just icing on the cake!
