Quilted fabric project

I took Angela Walter's craftsy class called Machine Quilting Negative Space and I loved it. I practiced my swirls and leafs on this piece of fabric and decided to make a zip pouch with it. I had a vintage metal zipper that fit perfectly and I really love the look. I won't be scared to try out new quilting styles on swatches anymore, now that they have found a use!

Pillow Cover finished!

I decided to make a quick gift for my parents in law's 50th wedding anniversary. Just about the only things they decorate with are small pillows in their minimalist style home. So I thought I'd make something they could use. Here is a look at the process:


The cover is fully removable with a zipper and can be washed separately from the pillow. It is also quilted with warm n natural so it stands nicely on its own.

A Star Quilt for Isla

My mom pieced the top of this quilt for my little Isla. That was before she was born. She just turned 18 months so I thought it was time to finish it!

I chose a banana print from 5 Funky Monkeys to as backing. I really love the playfulness of it and it suits her well.


My mom always makes star quilts for those she loves, this is a beautiful one!

Heart

Here is my newest work, just completed "my heart [in fabric]", which was inspired by my friend Shimon's painting called Fenice Avanti. I used Kona solids for the middle heart area and a Marimekko print for the border.

Heather Ross Mini Quilt

Here is my finished Heather Ross mini quilt made for a friend on twitter. She loves Heather Ross and I love Tula Pink so we both decided to make something for each other. I used just about every print I had on this project and I hope she likes it!



The block is a pattern from the book Modern Patchwork by Elizabeth Hartman. If you don't already own it, please consider buying it. Everything in the book is so beautiful and I have to say this block was so easy.

  



 And of course I had to make a custom quilt tag for the occasion... using printable images from the dvd that came with Heather Ross' PRINTS book. SO MUCH FUN! I made my own fabric sheets using freezer paper and ran them through my color ink jet and set with high heat. My Epson printer uses pigmented inks which make it ideal for printing on fabric. (be sure to check with your printer/ink manufacturer)


Enjoy!

Drawing

It's like drawing with a pen!

A little fun

I was having a little fun practicing machine quilting words... It's really a lot of fun, you should try!

Still stitching....

I'm going to be finished quilting this very soon. For some reason this quilt isn't going as fast as I'd like. If it's not one thing slowing me down it's another. But I'm really happy with the result so far and can't believe how much I'm complicating things with the designs I'm stitching. Hopefully this will make it to the fair in Window Rock in time!
