At the Davis household, Larry and I share computer time. It works out great, unless he has a pressing freelance job. That's the case for the last three weeks. . . I'm spending a lot of time sewing!
I've been trying to work on a border for the Amy Butler project.
These are made from recent scraps, my poor table hasn't been cleared since January, lol
It's taken a few tries, and these practice pieces will probably work into a mug rug or two, or
something fun.
But all along, I REALLY wanted a Dresden Plate border.
I think I have the math part worked out on this size here. So, cutting is the next part. . . .
This print is my favorite of the bunch!
These disappearing four patches have proven fun too.
There are some for the Block Lotto exchange, and others were made because I shared the "how-to" at quilt class, and before you know it there were multiples. . . .
Lastly, there was this pillowcase for Brandon's birthday quilt. His birthday happens to be today! Hope it's a great one.
I'll say hi when I can, happy quilting!
YEAH!!!! A Pokey Post!!
ReplyDeleteI thought maybe you had dropped off the earth for awhile! Looks like you've been very very busy. Love your table covered with all kinds of fun stars and flowers. I really love Dresden plates...they would make a wonderful border.

Lovin all your projects!
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from you!! You look to have a lot of great projects in the works!
ReplyDeleteHappy times, indeed! Glad you're playing with all those bright and fun prints. Love your hexies and dresdens :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love seeing the bright colors you're working with. That strippy template shape is really nice! And it looks like you're using a gray solid in a quilt. Is that right? What type/brand of solid to you like best? Seems there are several on the market now, and reasons for liking each. Would love to know your thoughts. I haven't invested in any solids yet, but I keep hearing that I should.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colours that you are using!
ReplyDeleteWow... you have been very busy! Love all the bright prints... my favs!
