Sew...I've been busy! My machine has been humming! I can finally share all the fun things that I've been working on...cause the shower is over...and they are no longer SeCrEt!! :)
I'm sure that Lauren knew that her mother was working on things for Jelly Bean...but she didn't know just what I was up to. I had so much fun designing this quilt last week. I saw something like it on the internet and knew it was exactly what I was looking for....no pattern, but that Never stopped me before. Had to use some math on this one! LOL!!
This is the Faux Chenille Quilt I made...and got scarred on...my arms look like I've been in a war with straight pins! It was all worth it! I'm very happy with the results...and it will get softer with every washing...just like the rag quilt.
I also finished Lauren & John's Wedding gift...the quilt. I've been a binding fool lately!!
The last quilt that I've finished is my Garden Window Flower Quilt...for ME!!
Yes, I finally made something for myself!!
My first time appliqueing...I had a lot of fun with it and see more in my future!
***I forgot to say that these quilts were quilted by Emily Arpin! I assemble...but don't quilt!
She does a great job at quilting my creations for me! Thanks Emily!!***
Okay all my Facebook girl friends who weighed in on what I should do on the back...
Here is the final answer. I found the little leftover rectangles from cutting out the front
and decided that I had to use them somehow.
I forgot to add my borders on before I had it quilted...so frustrating!
But I decided to go ahead and add them on anyway.
I really wanted to just do the dark green,
but I didn't have enough of any fabric to do it in one color.
Then bound it off with the dark pink.
Thanks for all your advice ladies!! I really appreciated it!
Thanks for reading the latest edition of What's Been Happening in Terrie's Craft Room!
I may do a tutorial on some of the quilts if there is any interest...
I have had so much fun working on these projects.
I find myself getting lost in time in this room...
I have to admit that I've neglected some laundry,
we've had a few more sandwiches than normal,
and some dust bunnies have accumulated!
They've almost all been cleared away now.
Craftiness First right??! Who's with me?
AWE...SOME!!! I soooo wish I had the time (and desire) to do something soo worthwhile! You inspire me Terrie!
