Another Baby quilt

 

I got another commission to do a baby quilt. This one is going to be all gray black and yellows to golds. The center block will be an applique giraffe. I am going to do log cabin blocks to go around the giraffe block. One side of the log cabin will be gray and black the other side will be yellows and gold.

 

The fabrics for this new baby quilt

 

 

The start of the center block. The client has asked if I will put a butterfly on this block.

 

 

 

Here I am working on the log cabin blocks. They are coming together fast.

 

 

All the log cabin block finished. did not take long.

 

 

layed out the quilt and got a picture so that I can remember how I will put it together. I will most likely change a few of the rectaingles around.

 

 

Top is finished, did change some of the rectaingles around, and put the butterfly at the bottom. Now it is waiting to be quilted.

 

Well now that this is finished I will be able  to move onto the next applique project, and also getting back to launching my applique patterns.

 

Happy Quilting.

 

 

My Whimsical Flowers

Hi everyone sorry that I have been quiet for a few weeks now. I have been busy with work. I have finished a few things this last few weeks. One of the great things that I have finished was the top for my guilds raffle quilt.

I will only be showing you some of the flowers. I am planning to pattern the applique part of this quilt soon. For me to pattern this applique design I have to make one myself, so I have started it last week. I have only done the spines so far. I hope to take this weekend to get some of the circles done. I will let you know how I progress on this project in future.

 The pictures that you are seeing here where done by other guild members.

Happy Quilting.

Busy Busy Busy

Sorry that I have not had much time to post and because I have been so busy I have not had much time to do any videos either.

So I just thought that I would take a moment to talk about how busy one can get. I am really working hard this month. I have alot of clients work to do.

I have three separate clients for curtains. I have four quilts that I will be quilting and then binding for the clients. and one quilt top that I have to put the borders on then it will need to be quilted ( borders are on waiting to be quilted).  Have two  quilts that are needing costum quilting on them and Etc. Never mind that I have some quilts that I would like to work on for myself.

How does one juggle all the work well I do it in stages. For curtains I will cut the panels out and get the linning ready. On another day I will hem the panels, next day will be putting the linning on and then sewing the side hems. The last is doing the french pleats and curtains will be finished. In between each of these stages I will be working on other work like maybe quilting a quilt or shooting a video, or putting binding on, or making a label. I think that you get the idea.

There are some days that you feel like you got nothing done. So on the days that I feel like this I will stop and look back on that day and take a look at what I had worked on. This gives me a really good perspective on what I did what is left to do and were I am at with each job.

This is what most of my days are like, but the last few weeks I have been recieving bolts of fabric pricing them and cutting fat quarters and getting them entered onto the computer. All between the work that I have to get done ( curtains, quilting quilts, making labels etc.)

Just a few of the fabrics that have arrived.

 

The dime is there to give you an idea of size of pattern.

 

I still have to get all the batiks photographed and entered. Will show you some of them in a futur blog.

Well off to work I go not sure if I will be whistling.
