Yay, Mom!

I was so excited to learn today that the quilt my mom recently designed from scratch was featured on Modern Day Quilts! Modern Day Quilts is a great source of inspiration, so check it out! Congratulations, Mom!

Hexagons in the Wild

Recently, I was walking around downtown Seattle when I spotted some hexagons in the wild. These weren’t just any hexagons. They were giant hexagons! These hexies were the backdrop of an empty window display. The business that put them up looked to be long gone, so I don’t know what they were supposed to be a backdrop for. No matter. I could imagine a quilt made out of fussy cut giant hexagons like these. Just goes to show you – quilting inspiration can be found in the strangest places sometimes.

Flashback Friday #7: Valentine’s Day Table Topper #2

Last week, I showed you my first Valentine’s Day Table Topper. After proving that the Quilted Quickies Charm School – Lesson Two pattern worked well for my purposes, I made another one, this time for my mom. I really enjoy making more than one quilt with the same pattern and seeing how differently they turn out.

For this one, I used fabric by Sandy Gervais, and added a border. Somehow, I managed to sew the binding on wrong, so it didn’t turn out as flat as the first one. My mom loved it anyways. I also finished this table topper in January 2008.
