Whether we know it or not, there is always some influence that triggers a quilt. It could be anything. This blog shares my quilts and the journey of their creation.

I fully intended to complete and display this little table-topper and during my first-week-of-July ‘red, white & blue’ extravaganza. But reality hit and it didn’t happen. However, after having this project on my list for 2 years now, I figured I’d just go with the momentum, whether it was past the holiday or not.This was...Read More
Lots of photos following, so brace yourself. I decided to do a CQ block - in pink, monochromatic (mostly) - using all of the stitches I have learned in TAST so far plus a couple of extras. This is the resulting block. Notice I did not use one single bead! You have no idea how hard that was for me to avoid the temptation. Really! This is the naked block I started out with. Close-up of the center floral motif. First, let me point out I added some sheer floral printed fabric over a couple of the shiny sections. This one is gathered slightly. I left some of the satin show along the seam. This is a little darker area from the sheer and is over a darker pink. Again, the satin shows along the buttonhole stitch area. I will list the stitches from top to bottom rows on each of the following close-ups. Cretan, French knot, knotted Cretan, buttonhole wheel (1/2), chain, French knot, lazy daisy/detached chain: French knot, Herringbone (both light pink and dark pink rows), Algerian Eyelet, fern leaf: This is kind of mixed up, but there are SRE petal stitch flowers, lazy daisy flowers, French knots, bullion rose and stitch, stem stitch rose and stem stitch, spider web rose: Web is straight stitch with couched connections; spider is whipped wheel with a little satin stitching over body and straight stitch for extending legs: Basque, scroll stitch, butterfly chain, French knots and lazy daisy (detached chains), straight stitch, up and down buttonhole: (From left to right in pie-shaped section) - French knot, buttonhole wheel (1/4), lazy daisy, straight stitch, French knot, running stitch, crossed buttonhole, bonnet: (butterfly) satin stitch, chain stitch, Fly 'Y' stitch; (below butterfly and in no particular order) French knots, wheat ear, straight, lazy daisy, feather stitch (bottom): Wheat ear, back stitch: (lace is added) Barred chain, half chevron, oyster, chain, buttonhole: Chain (3 rows), zig zag chain, Palestrina, cable chain, Chevron: There! I think that should be at least 35 unless I left out a seam somewhere. I you don't get close to the same count, let me know. This was so much fun and I will likely do it again, using my tags for reference.

I made a Colorwash of exclusively Kaffe Fassett fabrics many of which are early and out of print. It is not the Kaffe Collective which includes fabric by Brandon Mably and Philip Jacobs. It is exclusively Kaffe. This wallhanging is made from the kit of 2.5" squares that will be offered to students of Colorwash 360. I used one of the larger prints on the back and I thought the black Fern print was perfect for the binding. Are you interested in making a Colorwash wallhanging too? If you haven't heard, I have an Online Course launching on October 1, 2018 called 'COLORWASH 360'. You'll learn gradation from light to dark (value) as well as gradation from one color another...And, how to select fabrics that work best. 'COLORWASH 360' opens for pre-sale on September 1. Subscribers will receive 24 hours early access to sign up for the course and purchase the limited edition kits of pre-cut squares or larger blocks to cut multiple squares yourself. Both Batik and Kaffe Fassett Fabric kits will be available in limited quantities to students of COLORWASH 360 only. If you aren't an Exuberant Color subscriber for the mailing list....click here to subscribe.

My homage to Wales today is about my new passion for vintage Welsh Tapestry Blankets. Just look at these blankets (photos credit and further observed here). I love the weave patterns and the vibrant colors (different on each side). We only have one vintage Welsh blanket, given to us by Allister's dear, dear, gran: And we hope to collect more as the years go by, with plans to gift them to our daughters when they are older and excited to decorate their abodes with something fantastically Welsh!
Who doesn't love a festival? It is the Spring 2012 Blogger's Quilt Festival held by Amy at Amy's Creative Side. I have been looking forward to this because I realized something big during the last festival. I didn't have anything to enter because I give most of my quilts away. I needed to make some quilts for me. This led me to declare that 2012 would be my year of trying totally new techniques and stretching my quilts skills. My entry is titled "Busting Out". This is a piece that I would never have thought that I could make! When I saw the inspiration piece for the 2010 Mod Mood quilt along at Daintytime., I reminded myself that 2012 was my year to stretch and I decided to go for it. First, I am not someone with a history of working with solids. But when I started to pull out all my scraps (I save everything!), I was amazed at the variety of colors. The instructions for the quilt along are excellent and I soon found myself sewing arcs together. The piece was then hand quilted in a random design using random colored thread. I absolutely LOVE the way that this turned out. Although the title is "Busting Out" (as in the scraps busting out of my bag), I also thought of calling it "Willy Wonka's Music Factory". Please stop by the festival and check out the entries. There is so much inspiration out there! (Note: I'm having some internet issues, but will reply to comments as soon as I can.)

Opening a store filled with quilting fabrics was a dream but not because I was in love with quilting. I love the fabrics and ...
My "Roses are red..." was started back in sept 2009 in a workshop with the two brilliant designers Kaffe and Brandon. Learning a lot, including the importance of having a design wall. Even if it is just in the form of a cotton batting... The quilt top was finished not so long after the workshop. And the hunt for the perfect backing started. This is my most challenging quilt to find a backing for - so far. Let me just say it took several attempts and more than a year to find it. The rich warm colors are photographed outside, and inside... Finished size is 70" * 84". I used Hobbs 100 % cotton batting. The backing (not shown ; ) ) is Suzani by Kaffe Fasset in red. On a very personal note, Roses are red will also be my homage to my dad. Much too young, he lost the long and hard battle against cancer, earlier this month. And there was some beautiful red roses in the chapel. He was a guy that loved red... Lately, I have been sewing a bit, and preparing a few more tops and backings to send off. I wish all of you a Happy Easter, with or without the company of some fabric temptations...

When I saw the Bordered Diamonds quilt in Kaffe Fassett's book, Simple Shapes Spectacular Quilts, I knew immediately that it would be a perfect quilt for a thank you gift for my aunt. Never mind that my stash did not contain many large floral prints. My first thought was that I would just buy a kit, and Glorious Color has fabric kits to make two different versions of the quilt. This is their version from the book. And this is their version from the June/July 2010 Quilt Magazine. I carefully analyzed each kit trying to decide which would be best. Then I started thinking about how I liked each version--except for this or that fabric, and how I wanted to use some of my own fabrics, and how I am pretty persnickety about fabric choices, and I finally just gave up and started collecting florals...surely that wouldn't add too much to my stash? Here's a view of the cut diamonds and border strips and of my lovely white board which has been replaced: And since the directions call for dark diamonds to have light strips, and light diamonds to have dark strips, and the rows to alternate, I photographed them, then changed them to black and white to determine the values, as shown here by the strips (although these are the mediums to darks primarily): But after trying to lay them out as directed, I decided to do my own thing when the light/dark thing didn't work, and just evenly separated the colors. And now, a couple of months later, the blocks of the quilt are all sewn together. Hooray! I needed the quilt to be larger than designed, so it's now waiting for the border fabric to be added. This is what I am planning on using: And, having easily spent twice as much as I would have on a kit (what's an extra 1/2 yard here or there?), I now have a very large bin of floral fabrics. My stash, like my waistline, only seems to grow in one direction....

finally finished!! hand quilt sure takes me a long time!, but i'm so pleased with how it came out.
