I'm in the process of organizing my sewing/craft space. It was moving back to the dark corners of the basement because I wanted the kids back upstairs. It's a little sad but, so far the kiddos have stayed in their own beds upstairs so it's all worth it! New carpet was coming so I moved everything downstairs in a hurry and it all got dumped in two different rooms. So over the last few months I have slowly been trying to get it cleaned up and organized. The exciting thing is I keep finding little treasures like these (probably should have ironed them first):
Two very nearly complete quilt tops!!
This one needed one border sewn on....I even found the border cut and ready to go!
It is now complete with all it's borders and is waiting with it's backing for me to buy some batting so I can quilt it! I think the pattern is Yellow Brick Road and the fabric is Celebrate Spring by Sandy Gervais. Note that I pieced this top probably 4 years ago so I can't imagine the fabric is anywhere to be found.
I started this quilt with the intent of giving it as a baby gift.
Unfortunately that particular baby is probably 5 now! Whoops! I'm not sure how it got lost in the depths of my sewing room because I love it. I can't decide what to do with it now though. I want to add a border around it because for some reason I don't think it will look good left alone like this, but I'm having a hard time finding a good border fabric. I wish I had more of the white polka dot fabric but I don't have enough left! So it is staying in the unfinished pile for awhile longer while I figure it out. Most of the fabric is Look and Learn by American Jane Patterns Sandy Klop with some other strips and dots added. (Obviously I need to take a few more close up pictures so you can actually tell what the fabrics look like! Probably should find a better camera too....but that's just me dreaming!!) I will have several more posts showing past quilts I have made and I also have many works in progress right now.
