better late than never right? hop on over to Freshly Pieced and check out what everyone else is working on.
late was worth it, I was able to get some photos of my latest finish, the Central Park quilt (aka my first commissioned quilt).
I love this quilt.
Have I said how much I love this? I'm not sure why. Probably because I am excited to play with all the leftover pieces now. (there are a LOT!)
Laura and her sisters asked me to embroider this quote on the back...inspiration for their aunt in the hospital.
So, as far as other projects...umm...I did finish the sashing on my sliced coins quilt.
Then, everybody and their brother discovered that I can sew (apparently it is a lost art?) and my list of commissions has grown. I have no charging scheme in place, so I'm still holding the "Will Work For Scraps" sign. I am, however, closing the waiting list so that I can decide if I want to pay the government to be able to charge other people :)
Finishes:
-central park quilt
New:
-quilting/binding for a friend
-another raincoat for a gift (but still waiting for a commitment)
Processing:
-sliced coins quilt
-crochet scarf for just me
-monochrome quilt
-first quilt
-memorial quilts (right now, 4 in process)
-Hideaway quilt (formulating a design and bought yardage this week!)
Let me leave you with my view for the day. Laura is a coworker of mine (we share an office space), so we decided to hang the quilt over our wall hangings. Made the day so much better :) and led to a lot of drifting off into Central-Park-goodness.
thanks for swinging by!

Beautiful quilt! What is the border fabric? Is that a Central Park print too?
ReplyDeleteI bought some hideaway yardage this week too... I think we might have a problem!
