Bella Lou: July 2012
http://bellaloucreative.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
A chronicle of creativity. Tuesday, 3 July 2012. Farmer's Wife Quilt Along. I have been working in a new direction with my quilting - a sort of crash course on traditional quilt block making. Inspired by some of the online quilt alongs for the Farmer's Wife quilting book ( here. Look at those points! The back, full of seams. Or should they move on to the increasingly liberated lifestyles of women in the cities? Some of the stories are romantic, touching, and inspiring even if a bit anecdotal. What I woul...

A chronicle of creativity. Monday, 5 March 2012. Source: handmadecathygaubert.blogspot.com. If I get a spare minute tomorrow, this will be my inspiration. Today, I made a mini-quilt (mug rug) to practice piecing pinwheels and working on my free-motion quilting. I have to say, free-motion quilting is way harder than it looks in all of the YouTube videos! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sublime Stitching - This ain't your gramma's embroidery!

Bella Lou: Scandinavian Christmas Crosstitch
http://bellaloucreative.blogspot.com/2012/12/scandinavian-christmas-crosstitch.html
A chronicle of creativity. Wednesday, 5 December 2012. While briefly scanning the magazine rack at the grocery store, something very surprising caught my eye. I usually ignore the knitting and crosstitching magazines, but when I saw the cover pattern on. The Christmas issue of Crosstitcher. Activity: watch a DVD box set and just stitch away. Though I adore this finished design - it goes perfectly with my decor! For back-issues of Crosstitcher. 5 December 2012 at 23:21. Love the colors on the pristine whi...

Bella Lou: April 2012
http://bellaloucreative.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
A chronicle of creativity. Sunday, 15 April 2012. I've been busy doing lots of springy things - more light for longer during the day mean lots more motivation for me to get projects both started and finished! Slowly, I found a better spot for our suitcases, which are actually in constant use with my husband's business travel. Then I began stocking my Pinterest boards with ideas I wanted to put to use for our new day bed. A new sized bed means a happy excuse to make another quilt! This is the quilt top so...

Bella Lou: May 2012
http://bellaloucreative.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
A chronicle of creativity. Sunday, 6 May 2012. I finally finished my chevron quilt! It was made to exactly fit the strange dimensions of our Ikea guest bed. The bottom drawers pull out to make a double bed, but the quilt I made is designed to just fit it as a single bed, mostly so the room looks good for the majority of the year when no one is staying in it. I'm thrilled with it! I love how the uniform color really shows of the quilted lines on the back. We'll be enjoying the rest of our Sunday with a he...

Bella Lou: November 2011
http://bellaloucreative.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
A chronicle of creativity. Saturday, 12 November 2011. That had a floral design that was both traditional and modern, at least to my eyes. Certainly, it's the most traditional quilt I've done, because it's really got that old-fashioned quilt. Look I enjoyed putting it together and really love how the high-loft batting gives it such a squishy feel and soft look. I used a mix of vintage sheeting fabric and some new reprints of 1930's floral designs. Can you tell which are new and which ones are vintage?
