Ice Cream Soda is a pattern by Tales of Cloth by Jodi Godfrey ! loved the pattern. When I looked at the quilt with all it's fussy cut pieces an idea popped into my head. Make this quilt ALL ABOUT ME, things I really like. So there are blocks with owls, fall, Dodgers, Halloween, Christmas, tea, knitting, sewing, shoes, teaching and chocolates! Was hand stitched and took 2 years!
This December, I created two English Paper Piecing projects to use as table toppers. It only took a small amount of my Christmas fabric stash. I'm so pleased with the results.
The embroidery added so much to the topper. I was fortunate to find the red check for the binding. Helps to save small amounts for binding.
This topper is located in my sewing room on the bookcase. The triangles have "fussy cutting" or Precise Cutting as designer named it. Here again the embroidery really accents the EPP! I do believe I'm hooked on adding details with stitching to all my projects. Adds Bling!
Now onto Spring projects: bunnies, flowers, eggs etc.
I happened upon two orphan quilt block in the cabinet. What to do with these fall blocks? Not enough for anything useful. So I sewed them together into one large rectangle. I brought out the DMC floss boxes and decided to try my hand at Crazy Quilting!
I absolute love and enjoy English Paper Piecing! Always have more than one project going. I have tons lined up that I'd want to do, but EPP is a slow process . Takes way more time than most quilt projects. These have been completed.
Been a while since I posted on my Blog! Here are quilts I completed to share with children and adults to various organizations! Fun Projects!
Baby quilts are such a joy to make! New moms love to wrap their little one in a snuggle quilt! These two will be donated to Casa Teressa, a home for unwed mothers in my city. This organization does a fabulous job assisting these new moms.
Almost finished! After two years of stitching, my Lucy Boston quilt is ready to bind!
