BUT, I did manage to get a LOT of sewing done. I have 3 quilts done, 2 just need the binding done on them. :)
Remember the Picture Pie Foxes I did for a customer? Well, she's having a little baby boy (who actually should have arrived by now) and she wanted another Picture pie quilt as a play mat for him to lay on. She wanted it extra poufy and soft. And this one is raccoons rather than foxes. :) SO cute! I love how it turned out. Especially with the black/white stripey binding (my favorite).
I used two layers of batting, for the extra poufyness (real quilting terms here people). It was kind of a pain to quilt through, but I managed and it washed up nice and poufy! Love it! I hope she does too.
Next up, I made a journal cover for my sweet neighbor. This was really fun to make. I used this tutorial from Riley Blake's website. This was really easy, fun and a quick gift for someone special if you need one.
It's nice and springy isn't it? ♥ I hope she likes it. I still need to take it to her....ugh, I'm such a slacker!
I'll be back to post my other quilts I've nearly finished. I locked myself in my room catching up on the Walking Dead (still have the last episode to watch so don't tell me!) and Game of Thrones! Yay-so glad GOT is back on! Woohoo!
Also, my pattern is doing really great!! I'm amazed at the well wishes I've received and people interested in my pattern. Remember, it's 20% off now until the end of April! I may be doing a giveaway later on too... so stay tuned!

I've had those fabrics for months and haven't done anything with them yet. I love your quilt design, looks fab :D
ReplyDeletePicture Pie is so cute! I bought some of the squiggle print because I thought they'd make cute basics. The striped binding looks really well with the quilt; I find it makes the raccoons really stand out, matching with its tail :)
ReplyDeleteYay for GoT and Walking Dead! :D
I can't believe how productive you were on Spring Break. When my kids are home I get nothing done :( I love the giant star and really ned to make the one I have planned
ReplyDeleteWow, you got a lot done! I know what you mean about thicker batting being a struggle to quilt, but the play mat is adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove the playmat quilt, so sweet! I can't play catch up with Walking Dead, I have to watch it straight away I cant hold back. My parents record a bunch of them and then sit down for a marathon and its soo annoying as I cant talk to them about whats happened, arghhhhh. Gotta love it, best show on tv. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt! So adorable. :-)
