Chevron Pillow-Sneak Peek

It's a beautiful day here in the heartland today! Unfortunately I've caught a nasty cold and have been inside for two days. Lots of napping and lots of quilting time! Here's what I've been working on today...

Molly's Quilt

This is a quilt I made for my youngest Daughter, Molly.  she was too young to be involved with picking the fabric so yours truly got to pick everything out.  Most of the fabrics are from the Moda French General line, but there are a couple others I mixed in that seemed to blend with the Moda line.  The pattern is "Come What May" by Jaybird Quilts.  


If only Photoshop had a "Mow the lawn" filter...this would be perfect!


I added rick rack around the binding and loved how it turned out!


After taking pictures of this quilt I realized Molly had spilled chocolate
milk all over it, so if you spot something...
It's a good thing homemade quilts can stand up to lots of washing!


Molly's quilt is a twin sized quilt measuring approx. 64" x 80"


The quilting I did on this was a loopy loop sort of pattern.  I'm sure there's a technical word for this type
of quilting that sounds more professional than loopy loop, but that's what we're gonna call it for now.

Love when this happens...

I love when I buy fabrics on separate occasions that accidentally go together.  The local JoAnn's Fabric store here is moving locations and they are liquidating all of their remaining stock.  I stopped by to see if any higher quality fabric was left that I could get on the cheap and found this cute chick pattern fabric.
Fast forward to last week, I wanted to try a new thread I had heard good things about from Connectingthreads.com  and while I was there picked up a couple solid fabrics. 

While getting started on a quilted table runner I looked over and saw these fabrics thrown into a pile.

What do you think? 



Sneak Peak!



Well, it's a dreary, drizzly and damp kind of day here in Nebraska so I thought I'd give you a sneak peak at the first Emily Ann Quilt that will be up for sale in the Etsy shop.  Enjoy!
