Done!!!

Hooray, a finish!  I blogged about some of the more emotional aspects of this quilt here...I just can't go in to it again.  BUT I am so glad that I finished (just need to add the label) A big thanks to Septemberbird's blog and her flickrstream for inspiration.  The first time I saw one of her chairs...I just wanted to pass out right away.  Thanks Tonya for the encouragement to try new things...the quilt a-longs are so fun!

I am almost finished!!

I am just putting the binding on my chair quilt....it looks so cool that I am so glad that it is mine to keep....I will post a picture later this week. (I was just so excited after seeing Jude's houses that I had to post.)

Still working on it...is that allowed??

Looky here...some actual quilting has happened.  I am almost half-way done.  It is going to look so cool, I am so excited.  I love all of the projects that you all have been finishing, great inspiration.

working slowly....but still working.

I finally drew a picture of a chair...from a chair and I was able to do a better job on the proportions.

I finished this chair last night...my mind was all a buzz....I had so much fun and I am really in love with this project now. The chair and the stars, I never new that they could be so much fun. Such little scraps, make such a big impact. I made the 6 am a few weeks ago, because that was the only time that I was working on it. I think that I might put some more words in here....and I am trying to envision a house too....I think that it will come together and I am really looking forward to seeing this one get finished.

work has started...

Hi there,
I have been enjoying all the work that has been going on around here....that is a seriously awesome castle! I finished a big quilt at the beginning of October and I have been stuck in a creative lull. The silence is deafening.

SO, I turned 34 and decided that I needed to just get myself out of bed an hour earlier and start the day off right, with exercise or quilting....well, I can do the quilting. I have been working on this for a few mornings, not a lot, but I am in love with these chair quilts ,they are magic to me. I was pleased with my first attempt...but all my husband could see was houses. Back to the drawing board...

these are also my first wonky stars and I LOVE THEM...very easy and a great way to use the end scraps from binding. This all will coalesce somehow...it might be called 6am...because that is when I have been squeezing in time to work on it....maybe some letters...

Hi there,
I had to post a picture of my latest procrastination quilt...cutting into my craZY Kaffe Fassett stash. The design has been all done on the wall, for better and for worse. I am here for my 3rd quilt together and am very excited to work with you all. I am still obsessed with houses and really need to finish my summer class houses....BUT that said I love to start things and I have been wondering about how to use all of my food fabrics, so jars is an idea. BUT also it is the spooky season and seeing Tonya's halloweeny things always gets me going that way. I guess I am still undecided, but ready to cut some fabric and then sew it back together!
(now that this post not under the winter you all should be able to read it...
Hooray!)
