My daughter Lesley wanted a circle quilt for my grandson who will be born the
end of July, so I started researching the best way to go about doing this. I was
debating between appliqueing and set-in seams, and I really didn’t want to
applique a whole bunch of circles. I found a tutorial and that began my journey
with the circle quilt, the baby quilt is done and waiting for the baby’s name to
be stitched on…and since I don’t know the name yet, it will just have to wait a
bit longer. I just finished piecing a circle table runner for my daughter
Karmon…she picked out the colors…I had fun making all different size
circles…it’s getting easier and easier to do. Now to figure out what to quilt on
this! That seems to be my stumbling block right now. This picture does not do it justice...the colors are much brighter in real life.
Three of the latest wool blocks I've done.
The hexies are coming along pretty well, I’ve got all of the purple ones made, I
just need to get them sewn on to the quilt. Again, another decision to make…what
color hexies for the next row?
My favorite fabric for the moment…American Jane by Sandy Klop for moda…Most of
it is out of print and hard to find…But I’ve been on a mission and I’ve
accumulated quite a bit of it. This pile of fabric puts a smile on my face! I
love to get it out and just play with it…I’ve started to worry about my fabric
hoarding tendencies…and I’m serious about that! Serious that is, about the hoarding and
all of the fabric ‘petting’. I LOVE my fabric.
Still plugging away on my mom's civil war quilt...I've only got 32 more of these 6 inch Hovering Hawk blocks to make for two of the borders...So I'm more than half done with these. I know my mom will be smiling down from heaven when this one gets done! I can hear her asking me if I've been working on it and how much I've gotten done on it...Well, mom it's almost done.
Happy Quilting
Kris
