For once I got my act together to post my pictures early today. This picture is the serendipitous quilt that just "happened" yesterday. Found the fabric, realized how much I missed my sunflower fabric and decided to whip up something simple to add beads to. I have a perfect place to put it in the bedroom. I just love sunflowers. They are such happy flowers!
And this is the polka dot quilt. Really bright and pinky-magenta. I'm going to bead it, too, but haven't decided how yet.
Today I need to work on my Red Victorian Lady bead tapestry. Haven't worked on her in a while. She's a big project and isn't going to weave herself!
I've gotten the quilting bug again. I have rarely quilted while living in Hawaii....too hot and we don't use quilts at all. But, I spent two weeks in New Hampshire which included a couple of days of snow. I just felt like quilting and sewing in general. Thought that feeling would go away once I returned to the tropics, but it hasn't.
I've cleaned up my sewing area which is just a part of one of the bedrooms. It's enough space with shelving and a table for cutting, etc. I don't think I'll be making any bed quilts, just lap quilts and some wall quilts.
When I lived in Germany, I made several quilts. One was for Bob because he didn't have one and we really needed them in the winter. His was coffee-themed :)
And I got into making wall quilts embellished with beads and appliques. These are a couple of the wall quilts I made:
Today, I've been working on a new quilt based on one of my favorite quilting books. I'm almost finished with the piecing, but haven't decided on embellishment yet. Oh yes, it must be embellished! I'll post a picture tomorrow of the pre-embellished stage. And I finished a top for a wall quilt which just kind of happened while I was going through my stash today. I'll post a picture of it's pre-embellished stage, too.
I'm back to quilting!
