Creative Wanderlust

I keep forgetting to post these photos of Asher’s quilt! Delivered this one in December for a Thanksgiving baby boy!

How absolutely perfect is this nursery? Cute helicopter quilt found the ideal landing spot!

Finished a couple Christmas gifts I didn’t want to share early in case it ruined the surprise! This one is for one of my favorite clients - fun, couch sized quilts made with shirts that invite lots of fun colors!

It’s still Halloween season! One little girl was happy to take this one home!

Its October first and you know what that means…

I finished my Halloween quilt with weeks to spare!

Starting work on my next t-shirt quilt and I want to know if this comes in adult sizing. Asking for a friend … or not.

My new technique to keep strips sorted for t-shirt quilts - a drying rack!

This amazing Red Rocks art from Holden Studios really sets off the quilt colors in the guest room!

Sewing machine is back in top form, time to prep this one for stitching!

Finished the quilt top! Need to get my machine serviced before I can finish it, but I’m excited to see it on the guest bed once I’m in my new place!

Oh yeah. This is going to be fun!

Just a guess, but I think this is going to be bright and wild!

Cold start to the year, so I experimented with some different fabrics for the skull pillows. Which one is your favorite?

Finished the first 2 pillows! Bright, fun backing, too!

Stitched! So many seams so close together they just want to roll up! Once they have backs and pillow forms in them, they’ll be adorable!

Quick question - am I crazy for doing more than one of these, or am I crazy for not making about 20 for all my friends I’ve thought of who would love these? For context, yes, those are 1” squares which will only be 1/2” squares when done!

Delivered this oversized queen beauty today! I love how it turned out!

Tiny pieces becoming less tiny!

Approximately a million tiny triangles, squares, and rectangles cut out for what is likely to be my final quilt of the year until I’m settled into my new house this winter. It’s gonna be a good one!

When you’re handed a giant pile of t-shirts and asked to make 2 quilts, you go with the light and the dark. I’m very happy with how they each turned out!

Another busy t-shirt quilt weekend in the sewing loft!

But when your quilt is predominately octopus and jellyfish, you stitch in tentacles. It brought me much joy.

A friend of mine’s father passed away recently, and she chose me to put together his shirts to make this quilt. It turned out perfectly!

Worked on 7 separate quilts this weekend! One binding, 3 quilted and bindings started, and 3 bunches of t-shirts prepped. Good progress!

Both tops done! Which do you like better, sea turtles border or jellyfish & octopus stripes?

Snow day! Couldn’t decide what pattern to use with these fabrics, so I’m making one of each.

In case you don’t see posts that tag this page, I dropped off this hockey t-shirt quilt today! Quilt 2 of 2021!

Finished this one and well underway for the next! Off to a solid start for 2021!
