A little farther

So here's my daily update on that jungle quilt. I have three out of five fabrics cut out and ready to be modified and sewn together. I laid them all out on the floor today to get a barring on what the quilt will look like when it is all done. It also let me figure out where I need to cut some in half and other such cuts. I also decided to embroider the baby's name on the bottom border.
 Any where you see a big piece of floor is where the fourth fabric will go, once I get it. And the little diamond shape holes will be a bright green fabric.
I love these fabrics! Two of them match, one just has larger animals, but they're by the same person. And the border was just long enough without me having to add onto it. Amanda said she doesn't want too much blue because she's not a big fan and little Ethan won't be wearing much of it. But I did throw in that cute blue pok-a-dot and monkeys fabric. It's a good contrast.

Well that will be it for now. Hopefully I'll see ya'll tomorrow with my newest update.

Jungle!

So I'm excited. My cousin just ordered a third quilt from me. This one will be a California king that is black and red with scoll designs on it. I can't wait to get started on it. But right now I have more exciting news. I got the first step done for my other cousin's baby quilt.




Nothing that special so far. Though the next part will be fun. I have to cut out 60 hexagons and then sew them all together. I'll get a picture as quickly as I can to show you all. Well that's all I really have to say today. I'll blog again soon.

New Quilting Room

Hey all. Sorry I haven't posted much, but I do have a good excuse. I moved! Yes no longer living with my beloved's family, but instead with him, my sister and her family. We are slowly getting out on our own. Anyways, since we moved out I got my own sewing room. Well more like sewing area in the bigger "Office". I got my little corner set up with a sewing table a small white table for cutting and all that jazz, and a plastic shelving unit for all my fabrics. Which I have a lot more than I thought. Wanna see?

Ain't it lovely? It's not too much but it's perfect for my needs at the moment.

So do you remember all those projects I told you I had? Well I pushed them aside for awhile. Main reason I've gotten a lot of priority quilts I have to get done first. Like my cousin Adam's Zebra quilt, which is taking a lot longer than expected, a Florida Gators quilt and Georgia Bulldogs quilt for my other Cousin Jenny, and a bunch of jungle themed stuff for my cousin Amanda who just found out she'll be having a boy! I am also working on finishing that old Denim quilt I posted awhile back, all it needs is it's back, and a quilt for my best friend who moved to Texas about six or seven years ago. 

Any and all scraps will be used for quilts that will be sold on my etsy. And to keep me company is my fat cat, Shadow. 

Well that's really it for now. I got to work in about 30 minutes.
See ya'll later
