Welcome Blog Hoppers! Whoosh!! This summer flew by, it seems like only yesterday that school was out and summer camp was in session. Now it is time to pick apples and to think about canning the summer’s harvest. I was very busy longarm quilting for my wonderful clients, but not so busy that I couldn’t work on my own projects.
I also worked on my ‘Quilting Bucket List’ and completed a Log Cabin quilt. I designed the quilt using EQ7 and used only scraps to complete it. Do you have patterns or quilts on your ‘bucket’ list?
“Long May She Wave” is a quilt using improvisational curves. I cut fabric using various curved rulers then joined them using bias tape. It was so much fun to sit and play. The colors of the quilt will always remind me of summer–July 4, strawberries, blueberries, sunshine…
I loved using the very wonderful Riley Blake Design fabrics in the ‘His’ and ‘Hers’ Place Mats which I designed for today’s post. The ‘his’ place mat features mustache fabric, also Riley Blake Designs, and the ‘hers’ place mat features dimensional flowers made of yo-yo’s and gathered flowers. I quilted them with my walking foot using a decorative stitch (‘hers’–serpentine with a loop) and channel stitching (‘his’). I used the large red and white gingham from Riley Blake for the backing and small black and white gingham for the binding.
I hope you have made projects and memories over the summer too. Thank you Mdm. Samm and Shari. Please visit the other ‘See you in September’ bloggers listed below and have a quilty day!!
