Our home for a total of 6 days:
While hubby is in training, I brought my little Nina along and am doing some refreshing sewing. Yay!
I took a Craftsy class with Kimberly Einmo recently and love her Hunter Star Quilt with jelly roll strips and no set in seams. In fact, I like all her designs. So I pulled out a fat quarter bundle of fabric that has been sitting in my stash for a couple of years. I knew I wanted a Christmas quilt but could not come up with a design. The hunter star was it. So, after cutting and prep work, it got stuck in my carrying case and brought to the mountains for a few days of uninterruped sewing. Actually, I started on this last weekend at a retreat in Cheyenne but most of the time was spent cutting and sewing jelly roll strips.
Here's my sewing room:
That's our Lab, Cowboy, in the background saying hello. Actually, he's telling me I interrupted his sleep.
I am planning a 4x4 grid and here are my stars in progress:
The finished stars will look like this:
I don't know for sure how everything will fall together as I am planning it as I go but the fabric is stunning; it is Moda Sentiments by Three Sisters. It is actually the same fabric Kimberly Einmo used for the class.
Well, it's time to get back to my stars. I am ready to add the background fabric. I hope you have a wonderful week. Join me as I take a little break from sewing periodically to see what fun things everyone is doing. I'll be visiting http://myquiltinfatuation.blogspot.com today and tomorrow I will check out http://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com and http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com.
Love your star. Hope your trip is fun and relaxing!
ReplyDeleteLove the star! You fabrics are so pretty. Enjoy your trip!
ReplyDeleteQuilting on the go looks fun, but cramped. :)
ReplyDeletePenny, have a wonderful 6 days in Lander, Don and I lived there for 12 years and raised our 3 boys there. My quilting partner there was Pat Irvine. This was back in 1977 to 1988. She bought her first gammill in 1979 I think (long time ago lol) they have come a long way in longarms since then.
ReplyDelete: ; Lander is pretty.
