I had a few friends over this past weekend, they all brought along a dish of food, a bottle of refreshment, a pillow and some gossip.............More than enough to keep us going until today. On Friday we watched an episode of The Quilt Show featuring Karen Eckmeier and then we cut and glued until very late at night. It was so much fun. Then on Saturday, We turned boring white fabric...... Into this...... With the help of this lovely person And all her little pots of colour. Now we can all make lots and lots of these. They have all gone home now..........it's way too quiet...........

Hello! Today I am sharing a recent quilt finish that I made just for fun! But first I want to share with you the inspiration behind this project. This color palette was inspired by someone I follow on Instagram named Jerina (her Instagram handle is @quiet.sanctuary). She is a beautiful soul who shares her heart in every post! She shares her love of crochet, quilts, antiques, family and sourdough bread! Plus, she is an amazing photographer and writer. [The above photo is shared with permission from Jerina @quiet.sanctuary.] I think the above photo might be the exact photo that stopped me in my Instagram scroll one day. I love the crocheted blanket Jerina made. Oh how I wish I could crochet!!! I also loved the cozy, moody, yet sweet colors that Jerina used! The faded and worn look that she captured in that photo was so soothing to my soul! One morning I woke up and couldn't stop thinking about her blanket so I went to my sewing room and started playing around - trying to achieve that same look with fabric. Around that same time, I had also been eyeing the classic Rail Fence/Roman Stripes quilt pattern. So I decided to "kill two birds with one stone" and combine that pattern with those colors. I cut some 2" x 5" rectangles and got to work. Each block was made with three 2" x 5" cut rectangles so the blocks finished at 4.5" x 4.5". I did a 13 x 15 block layout so my quilt finished at 59" x 68". This pattern is a great way to use up scraps and is beginner-friendly! I love to reward myself with these kinds of projects once in a while. It's good for my creative juices to do some mindless, just-for-fun sewing! Plus, I just love a good scrappy, classic quilt pattern! I used my stash and scraps for the quilt top but did end up buying the back and binding fabric. The longarm quilting was done by my friend Jen Ostler in Highland, UT. We decided on a pantograph called Moon Phases. I had never used that one before but I felt like it matched the vibe of this quilt! I wanted to name this quilt something other than Rail Fence or Roman Stripes because: A.) It didn't feel like a typical Rail Fence quilt (because the fabrics weren't making a secondary zig-zag design). And B.) I just don't like the name Roman Stripes! So I asked my Instagram followers if they could help me name my quilt! I got tons of great suggestions but I finally landed on "Dawn's Delight". It seemed to fit my color scheme, the quilting panto, and the pattern well. The way the blocks are rotated just seems fun and well, delightful! So thank you Janet (@janlynnsquilts on Instagram) for the name suggestion! I took so many pictures...but I will share just one last one. This was a fun project and I highly recommend making one of these quilts. I plan to wash this soon so it will crinkle up and get even cozier! Thanks for stopping by today!

I wanted to end the year with a post of some of the projects I've been working on. It's been a few months so there's lots :0) In anticipation of meeting up with some longtime internet friends I did a little applique, a little handquilting and made 2 little zippered pouches to give as gifts. It was fun to try quilting them 2 different ways. I could not pick a favorite. I also took a class with Helen Frost while I was in Houston. The class was called Starstruck. She had an different method for cutting and a few other tricks. It was interesting and I enjoyed it very much. She had this mirror tool to try different layouts with diamonds once they were pieced in rows. It was cool to see how different they looked. I decided on option 2. I didn't get it completely together until a few weeks later. Now I have to decide what to make with my star. Using the leftover cut off bits was fun too. There was no way I was throwing them out. I made this little mini quilt for a friend. It was quick to machine quilt and bind. I also participated in a sew-a-long with Temecula Quilt Shop in the weeks leading up to American Thanksgiving. Wow! I had no idea we were making a Burgoyne Surrounded quilt! It was so doable broken down into sewing 9 patches and 4 patches etc... I worked on it a little bit everyday until it was a completed top. It was a nice idea to get it quilted and have a new Christmas quilt but... it didn't happen. Maybe in time for next Christmas. I do love how scrappy it is :0) I also finished the 8th applique block for my Radical Rose and Reel quilt. 8 blocks does not make a very pretty picture but its exciting to see it nearly ready to assemble. There will be borders to applique yet so lots more stitches to enjoy for this project. So that should nearly catch me up. I look forward to lots of lovely quilty projects in 2019! Happy Quilting!! and Happy 2019!!
