It has been quite sometime since I've quilted. I kept my interest up with perusing the latest magazines and books. And I have eagerly checked online for the newest fabric releases for eye candy. But I just couldn't get going again. I do have a lot of other artsy craftsy interests too but wasn't doing much with that either. But reading all of these blogs has been so fun and inspirational. In the past month or so I've sewed a lot and have thoroughly enjoyed it, I forgot what it felt like! Finishing a project has been huge in the past for me. I LOVE Anna Maria Horner's Dowry line. I wanted to showcase the roses in each block. I decided to make this quilt a lot bigger it's turning out better than I anticipated. Lotsa blocks to go!
The other 9 blocks with fabric from Riley Blake's Farm Fresh are going to be for a lap quilt for my grandma. She lived on a farm most of her life and I had 2 of these layer cakes saved for 3 years or so before I just now did something with them.
I especially love the piggy! My grandparents raised pigs on the farm so I think she'll really like the 3 in this quilt:)
I plan on finishing this one in the next few days. I plan to add sashing tomorrow.
I also started a bed quilt for my Mom. I made her a lap quilt about 5 years ago and she uses that all the time. I finished a section on that but it's underneath the blocks for my Grandma so I'll have to take pics of that soon.
