August is my family's reunion time. Since we are in Colorado, we won't be going this year. I did make a quilt for the auction though!
My husband was bummed to find out it was being donated rather than for him! It's not like we don't have tons of quilts around here already!

August is my family's reunion time. Since we are in Colorado, we won't be going this year. I did make a quilt for the auction though!
I went through my flannel stash and found everything I needed to make this year's quilt.
I pulled the larger pieces for backing, separated the colors and found several pieced blocks that were left overs from previous quilts.
It's a very scrappy quilt, so I tried to unify everything with some outdoorsy appliqué.
59" X 76"
It was a bear to quilt on my home machine, it took longer to quilt than it did to piece together! Back home, in Utah I have a few friends who usually let me use their long arms, but no such luck here!

Did you see my secondary project using this line and one of the Roundabout blocks?
I love 2fers! I think I'll get a couple more projects out of this one - I have a lot of half square triangles left over.

So I've been playing with shapes in my art groups. In one of the groups we were to come up with a shape to use in a collaborative piece. We haven't done anything with it yet, so I decided to try the shape as a border to a mini quilt.
I 'created' my shape by folding up a piece of newspaper and cutting out the corner shape.
I bound the little quilt in black with a small print, I don't think the print is noticeable here. I was going to go with a stripe, (I love bias stripes for bindings!) but thought the size and busy-ness of the border print would look better with a more serene binding.
If you are one of the many who Schnibble, you will recognize the center as one of the blocks for this month's project. I got my top done early and had left overs - I love 2fers!

I used fabrics from the line Oz by Sena for Moda - love it!!

Some more {LOVE}
1. My hands
2. Gifts
3. Opportunities to learn
Today I finished up the top of a Valentine's runner kit I received last year from Tina, my secret sister at the time.
I'm going to hand quilt it.
Don't you love 2fers?
This runner provided some little patchwork hearts for a second project. Do you see how I cut out the fabric after I had hand appliqued around the red hearts?
Don't know how I'll use the little cuties yet. Perhaps I'll sew two together and stuff them for an ornament or gift topper. I could sew one to the front of a card for a sweet note. I could applique them to another pieced background and make a pillow cover. Possibilities are endless!
Remember/Note:
I'm on a creative journey over on my artsy blog, come on over and have a look!
