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...]

A lot is getting crossed off my list this weekend!  (Or so it feels.) I'm making some zip pouches from these sweet prints by Laurie Wisbrun that I won in the lovely Randi's Pin it to Win it contest a couple weeks ago. Also, I finally decided how I want to quilt the Octagonal Orbs top from my Quilts for Cancer bee and am LOVING it so far.  Both the front and back are looking so cool.  I really can't wait to finish this one and send it to its deserving owner!  Definitely lots of … [Read more...]

From Marta with Love: Converging Corners block from Summerlove

As it's W.I.P. Wednesday and Fresh Sewing Day, I thought I'd show you what I'm up to. Here are a couple blocks from the Converging Corners quilt I'm making using Pat Bravo's puuuuuurty collection, Summerlove. My guild-mates are sick of hearing me say it, but I'll tell you guys anyway: this is my favorite fabric collection of. all. time.  I've got about 10 blocks completed so far (of the 24 I plan to make). These were the first two. … [Read more...]

A Quilt pour Moi

A quilt pour moi.

Mikey (boyfriend) pops into my sewing room to say hi, checks out what I'm working on today, and asks the usual question.  "So who's this one for?"  Well guess what, my man.  It's for US!  YEP.  This one will finally be for our house.  I'm stoked.  I'm making a spiderweb quilt using Essex cotton/linen blend and the Washi Tape collection by Rashida Coleman Hale. These blocks come together quickly and are easy-peasy.  The only reason I made just one today is that I spent a couple hours … [Read more...]

I’m putting this quilt to bed.

I'm putting this quilt to bed.

The past couple weeks (in between work, a little gardening, and some family time), I’ve been designing, cutting, sewing, and trimming half-square triangles for a quilt that I’ve now regretfully decided to hide away indefinitely.  Here's how it went down: Inspiration struck!  So I dragged my surprisingly agreeable man with me to Fancy Tiger to help hold bolts of fabric while I strolled along the shelves looking for the perfect prints (dinner was my treat that night so don't feel too bad … [Read more...]

A Bit of Everything

A bit of everything.

I'll start where my last post left off: retreat with the Front Range Modern Quilt Guild (FRMQG). After such an epic weekend, I planned to write an equally epic blog post, but instead will keep it short and sweet. It was a blast. I got what felt like a minuscule amount done, but made up for it in late-night bonding sessions with incredible women and giggling until my tummy hurt. As planned, I completed Kelly's Dresden plate block and learned some new tricks while doing so. Then, the … [Read more...]
