Modernista Swap

I am part of the modernista swap on flickr and this round was themed for the bedroom. My partner asked for a large bed pillow and a mini quilt suitable for framing. I hope she likes it!

FLQS Progress

Here is my FLQS swap progress so far. I added the strip to the bottom and think I will start quilting it now. I hope she likes it!

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!

New Mini Quilt Finished

My latest mini quilt has been finished. It is inspired by my friend Shimon's painting. This is actually the small mock-up that I did which will help me decide what to do when I make the larger one which is about 5 feet across. But I am absolutely in love with this mini!

Been sewing!

This is the mini quilt I made for the FLiQS2 Swap! I really love the quilting and the binding!




Here is the special label I printed!




I hope my secret partner enjoys!
