Amy Crane Designs: May 2010
http://amycranedesigns.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 23, 2010. The theme for the third month of So You Think You Can. Was 'Circles'. Voting ended last night and I'm happy to say that I'm still in the contest. My entry is a wall hanging, measuring about 25 inches square. To make this quilt I used Caryl Bryer. Free Flying Geese in a Circle. Named this quilt Sunstruck. Here's a picture of a mama and her little ducklings. This was taken on the day before Mother's Day. It was very windy and the poor little guys were getting blown end over end.

Amy Crane Designs: Slug Bug - Silver
http://amycranedesigns.blogspot.com/2011/01/slug-bug-silver.html
Monday, January 3, 2011. Slug Bug - Silver. I forgot to take 'before' pictures (and the in-progress pictures, for that matter). I didn't think of it after it was way too late. Anyway.I made this shirt for my daughter. She loves the layered look and really liked this old shirt of mine (which had a hole in it). My girl loves it and has worn it already. In fact, this picture was taken after a run through the washing machine. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Doll Quilt Swap 10. Slug Bug - Silver.

Amy Crane Designs: October 2010
http://amycranedesigns.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 5, 2010. I Am The Lorax. And I speak for the trees. This is my latest mini quilt for the Mini QT Swap. The theme for this swap was 'books'. My partner, ruthiequilts. Mentioned that she liked Dr. Seuss, so I selected. For her quilt. The individual pieces are fused onto the background fabric. The details are a combination of machine and hand stitching with a little bit of permanent pen. Here's a close-up of the little guy himself. I just love this story. If you are unfamiliar with.

Amy Crane Designs: New in 2011
http://amycranedesigns.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-in-2011.html
Thursday, February 3, 2011. I was inspired by a bit of embroidery that I saw out on flickr. And decided to make my own version of the design. I've actually added a little French knot to her bow since I took the picture. I'm thinking that I'll make a little mini quilt using the embroidery as the centerpiece. I made it into Doll Quilt Swap 10. On flickr and I'm so excited! In addition to DQS10, I'm also in the Mini QT Swap. Scrappy Mug Rug Swap. And the Make Mine Modern Swap. Doll Quilt Swap 10.

Amy Crane Designs: Grandma's Quilt
http://amycranedesigns.blogspot.com/2011/03/grandmas-quilt.html
Sunday, March 20, 2011. For my grandma's 80th birthday I decided to make her a quilt for her living room. It needed to be something fairly simple because I. Be a little overextended at the moment. I settled on a Chinese coin quilt. For this quilt I used two charm packs of Moda's. Line (I had one charm pack in my stash and ended up ordering another pack from an ebay seller). I cut the 5 inch squares into varying widths and paired the prints with Kona bone. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tuesday, May 17, 2011. Mini QT "3D" Swap Update. Well, as I mentioned in my previous post, my partner in the Mini QT Swap. 3D" round hadn't sent me anything. I don't really know the details, but suffice it to say she received a quilt and other goodies from me, but decided not to send something in return. Of course, I was bummed. But then, I found out that Ruth. Was making me an 'Angel Quilt' and I was thrilled. I'd already swapped with Ruth and her work is gorgeous (check out this post. Turns out that De...

Amy Crane Designs: December 2010
http://amycranedesigns.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 28, 2010. 2010 in the Rear View. Well, 2010 is almost over. Frankly, I'm ready to put it in the rear view mirror. Despite the bumps in the road, I did accomplish quite a bit of quilting. The year started with an online quilting challenge. I also jumped into Flickr. And the world of online swaps. The challenge and the swaps really pushed me to try out some new techniques and finish more than I would have otherwise. One was made to hang on my daughter's wall. One was a charity quilt.
