Friday, July 18, 2014. The Purge} Week 1. Have you heard about the purge. By Rachel of Stitched In Color? Its a chance for all of use to work through the fabric in our stash that just doesn't excite us any more for one reason or another. Then Rachel is hosting links to show off how we used it every other week. So for my part in the purge, I'd like to work through those backed up stacks of fabric and actually turn them into the projects I intended them for. Links to this post. Monday, July 14, 2014.

Thursday, May 30, 2013. Pillow Talk Swap, Round 10. For this round of Pillow Talk Swap, I knew I wanted to use some Heather Ross for my partner's pillow. However, none of the Heather Ross I actually own fits very well into a full rainbow (an always popular choice for PTS), so this time I got to play with some more restricted color palette. First I thought about some mermaids. But then I settled on some fishies. Next time: I finally finish a quilt that will stay in our household! Links to this post. In th...

Thursday, October 31, 2013. We're having a real life "Mario Party"over here. :). Links to this post. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Since it came with a number of panels, I decided not to use a pattern and instead designed the quilt around those panels and the quantities of each fabric I had on hand. I used the stripes together with the panels to create a bit of a filmstrip effect across the quilt, and filled in between with the prints. PS I am linking this up to Blogger's Quilt Festival.

Kelsey Creates: April 2013
http://www.kelseycreates.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 23, 2013. Today I'd like to take a moment to share a pair of journals I made as gifts. The first is in an improvisational style and used an unusual (for me) color palette of peaches and navy. I did a little embroidery by hand in the mermaids hair to add a small textural element. The second journal centered around the Goldfish in a Bag print from Heather Ross, using a blue, green, and black color palette. The inside front cover contained a little surprise! Links to this post. Simple templat...

Friday, November 23, 2012. Do Good Stitches, May 2012. This quilt was started by the gals in the Faith circle of do. Good Stitches way back in May. I've been working on it slowly, but surely, ever since, and can finally call this one done. This quilt is a bit more traditional, but I do love red and white quilts. The block is called the " Ohio Star. Together with 6" sashing this quilt is about perfect for a Full/Double bed (show here on our Queen). Hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving. I definitely w...

Monday, December 16, 2013. Wrapping yourself in the Word of God. The concept of this quilt began with the idea for a text fabric with scripture for the content. Text fabric has become extremely popular in modern quilting, and I loved the idea of a scriptural text fabric to give more meaning to the words on the fabric - where reading a piece of the text fills you with God's Word, rather than some peculiar gibberish. Or to sit with it in your lap during your daily bible time or during prayer? For the quilt...
