S E W I N G - Quilting

I have been so in l o v e with sewing as of late. 

I mean, I always love to sew but lately 

I feel extra creative and  really 

enjoying the entire process. 

from picking out the fabric to 

laying out or designing the pattern, 

(almost feel like a designer)

maybe I missed my calling... 

although I am only Thirty Something, 

I probably haven't missed anything

We are supposed to design a name tag to wear at 

our guild meetings... 

Hello my name is...

So here is mine, 

I used fabric from my stash... 

It is only 4 x 3 so it is pretty small. 

I am going to put a grommet into it and

and stick it on a silver chain. 

This is the back. 

It would be my nod to 

the wonky log cabin

I LOVE my my little VW vans.... 

These might just be the worst photos in history....

The other thing that I made was this AMAZINGINGLY 

HUGE wonky Star wall-hanging. 

I saw it somewhere on Pinterest and decided I needed 

to make that. 

I am actually going to be entering it in the Sussex County State Fair. 

(If I get it done) 

I still have to back it and bind it and quilt it. 

When it is complete I will get some close up shots of it. 

It has a Star in a Star in a Star. 

The original I saw did not have the tiny

star in the middle square.

I also Made a Quilt for my Mom and Dad for their Anniversary. 

I made that in 2 days.

I planned on taking about a week, 

but life happened and I needed to get it done in a hurry. 

I captured the goings on with my phone...

Here I am piecing away.

Stitching on the very adorable binding... 

(and if you don't know how to make your own binding, 

please tell me, I would love to teach you how.) 

I adore pieced backs... 

So here is the back 

Sorry, I should have taken it outside and hung it on the clothesline but

I was on a very tight time schedule...  

The Front. 

I used Cluck Cluck Sews

Stars and Stripes Quilt and made it a Throw Size

My Mom and Dad really liked it. 

I was  pleased that I finished it. 

and even got it quilted... 

I just did a simple line quilting. 

anyway, I have been busy sewing all summer, 

what have you been up too?
