My good friend Heather asked me to make her a chevron quilt, including her favorite things. Bicycles and retro campers.
This quilt was so fun to make. It's no secret that I ♥ chevrons. She picked out the main novelty prints, and I added in the blue and grey fabrics.
She also wanted a 'foot cozy' with delightfully soft fleece fabric to keep her tootsies warm.
This was my first time doing a 'foot cozy' and I definitely learned how to make it better next time.
We dropped this off to her yesterday and it was a success.
I'm so happy she loved it and SOOO happy she chose me to make this for her!
I'm beyond honored.

Thanks Heather!!
In other news, I was told my sewing area looked 'like crap'! Haha!
It is true - it did!
So, Saturday I got some organizational items to clean it up.
Ohhh, how I love owls and Target. They always have cute owl stuff.
I got this cute owl binder to house all my patterns, that had been laying in a big unfortunate messy pile.
Got some page protectors and Voila! Now if I'm looking for a pattern, I can find it.
Wow - organization at it's finest. ;) Amazing.
Of course I had to get the matching magazine holder.
Need a quilting magazine? I have a shameful amount of them.
My rack of crap.
I found this cute 'Quilting Queen' sign and of course I had to have it.
It sits nicely on my rack of crap.
Have a lovely week!

DeleteI love the idea of a foot cozy at the bottom of the quilt. It would be great if you told us how you did it.
ReplyDeleteThanks KatieQ! There are a few things I would have done different, so I might do a tutorial later when it's perfected. Stay tuned!!
DeleteLoving the chevrons! Fabulous colours!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kristy!

ReplyDeleteThank you Jeni B! I have a few things I would like to perfect with the foot cozy. I'll work on it and will perhaps do a tutorial. Stay tuned!
DeleteYour chevron quilt is beautiful, love the colors! And your organization stuff looks fun, too - my area is in desperate need of a revamp, but it's going to take a trip to IKEA for me!
ReplyDeleteWhoop whoop!!
Thank you!!! IKEA is a good plan! I will be joining you on that one! ;)
