I'm getting a late start today after a very busy weekend full of sunshine and yardening.
I want to show you something I'm working on with stripes. I have been playing with stripes and really like the way these bias cut blocks look butted up next to each other. I think I'll try to keep it mainly in the color pink and see what happens.
Also, I'm very proud to see that P&B Textiles posted a picture of my quilt design "Boxes and Bubbles" (on the left) at Market in Kansas City this weekend! I'm very proud of this one and hope I will also get a glimpse of my primaries that were there, too.
I was so happy last week to make a memorial quilt for a woman who will give this to her mother for her birthday. The fabric she sent me consisted of clothes that belonged to her father who passed away.
I was able to incorporate shirts, pajama bottoms and even wrangler polyester pants into this simple and striking design. She seems very pleased!
I hope everyone had a great weekend. We made the most of the wonderful weather and enjoyed a good inch-ish of rain last night.
Today on my design wall I have some cubes I've been working with. I'm toying with the idea of working with this illusion a bit more and making a wall hanging out of it. I like the way the stripes play into the cubes. We'll see where it goes! I must say that I'm very proud for teaching myself to make "Y" seams. I went into a panic when it came time to sew my diamonds together... "I don't know how to make "y" seams". I calmed down and figured it out. I'm not sure however how I'll do when it comes to sewing them all together. I may have to resort to taking them apart and doing the strip method... we'll see.
This week, while I wait on my fabric from P&B to arrive I'm going to be working on a last minute Mother's Day quilt that is going to be so sweet!
