Quilts and memories I've had the pleasure of making!
I have been working on a super secret new to me "art quilt" for a very special friend! Very outside my comfort zone, but I am enjoying the process so far! I cannot wait to see how it turns out!
Stopped to make this for Amanda's friend/co-worker's baby. Amanda was so proud that she helped decide the baby's name! The mom and dad are Raider/Angel fans, hence the reversible quilt!
My Amanda:
That's all!
My Amanda picked out this material for me to make a table runner for her apartment!
I have been doing hand appliqué on my "anniversary quilt" for many, many hours this weekend! This is my progress:
Despite my best efforts, my leaf tips need a little work? The best part of this project is the preparation of the pieces for the process, I thought that I would find this part tedious, but I really enjoyed the hours I spent turning the edges under with the starch , double freezer paper method!
I need to quilt a lot of other projects this weekend, so I am off to do those!
My BFF is a planner! For that I am most grateful! You see we travel together once a year, for her to run a half marathon, and I cheer her on! She plans all sorts of site seeing adventures that always include quilt shops for me!
I have also really enjoyed making the hundreds of leaves and berries for the borders! The spray starch method of turning the edges over before I appliqué them down has been my favorite part, even as time consuming as it is! I watch my detective shows and work the day away!
In fact, I loved turning those leaf edges so much, I started another blue scrap project, I believe is called Joseph's Coat!
This is certainly a labor of love! I hope my hand appliqué does this quilt justice!
