New Quilt - Dodge

Hi everyone!  I have new pictures to share of my latest quilt.  I will be finishing up the pattern for this quilt soon and the original quilt itself will be up for sale in my Etsy shop very soon (just need to check final measurements).  This is my own design and it's called "Dodge".
This was made from a charm pack of a fabric line from Moda called Comma.

Next quilt for sale - Comma by Moda

Yes, it's me, it's really me.
I didn't drop off the face of the planet.  I'm still here, quilting when I have a spare second, which doesn't come easy these days.

Between a full time job, a full time family, and learning how to say 'no' to taking on too much it's hard to find time to quilt, but I really need to.  It's therapy for me.  From designing quilts to fabric shopping to sewing them together it really is enjoyable and it's the "ME" time I really need. 
SO, with all that, I have finally finished the next quilt that I'll be selling in the Etsy shop.
A dear friend of mine has offered to photograph this quilt and I can't wait to see how beautiful she makes it look with her mad photography skills.  I also just think it's pretty cool to be able to say "the quilt is with my quilt photographer right now."  HA! I love pretending to be so professional.

I pieced this quilt at the last quilt retreat I was at and finally finished quilting it the other day when I was hope with a sick little one. The charm pack used is Comma by Moda. The pattern is my own and is called "Dodge".  I will be releasing it as a pattern eventually, again when I have some spare time, ha!

Speaking of patterns, I'm working on my first pattern now which will be "Square Avenue" and hope to have that for sale in the Etsy shop in a couple more months. "Dodge" will be released after that.
I haven't worked out all the details with those, but I'm hoping to have offered for digital download as a PDF OR ordering a printed pattern through the mail.

More updates to come soon!
Here is a peek at "Dodge".

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.
