Quilted Swoon - from Marta with Love

Have you heard Google Reader is going away soon?  In light of this not-really-that-sad-in-the-greater-scheme-of-life news, I've made the easy switch over to Bloglovin and so far it's great. Do follow my blog with Bloglovin, would you? In other news, I've almost got a finished quilt to show!  All it needs is a binding. This quilt came together using a Swoon block that's been in my unfinished object pile for over a year.  I finally conceded that a whole 9-block Swoon quilt wasn't in my … [Read more...]

Because I wanna…

field study!

I made a few resolutions for 2013, one of which is to sew what my heart desires and not from a place of obligation.  In other words: sew what I want because I wanna! In honor of said resolution, I'm currently working on another simple patchwork quilt using each print from Anna Maria Horner's Field Study collection.  And I'm totally smitten.  I think this is my favorite quilt to date!  Here's my progress so … [Read more...]

Pretty Little Things Simple Patchwork

Last week I moved my sewing room upstairs.  It used to be in our basement because we didn't have air conditioner and it was just too hot to sew and press upstairs.  Now that we have a/c, though, I was able to move my sewing space up into the light!  Here are the before and after shots of my unpacking: Ta-da!  When we first brought everything upstairs it looked like I might never find a place for it all!  However, being the determined cleany beany that I am, I easily found a spot for … [Read more...]

From Marta with Love: Octagonal Orbs quilt top

In my last post I said I finished two quilt tops this weekend, which means I have another one to show you. It's the product of twelve pairs of hands from the Quilts for Cancer bee, each making and sending me one block for the quilt. Our bee is called "Quilts for Cancer," but we've been realizing throughout the months that these quilts are really for anyone in need of some comfort in their illness. Mine will be for a client of the law firm I work for (I'm a paralegal). She is a quadriplegic … [Read more...]

A Quilt Top or Two

A finished quilt top or two

After weeks of not sewing a single quilt-related stitch, I whipped up TWO quilt tops this past weekend! For now I'll show you the one that took me, start to finish, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday night (cutting included). Yes, I'm a wild one on these cool Friday nights of summer. I used a kit to make this top (Chevron Cabin by Riley Blake), and although I capital-L love this quilt, I will probably not be buying kits again in future. This was my first quilt kit and I thought the fabric all … [Read more...]
