Here’s this month’s stitching update from Stitched in Color, my sewing blog.  I hope you’ll pop over and chime in!  Folks, I’m having way too much fun.

Fairytale Patchwork Quilt

This weekend I finished piecing this twin-sized quilt top for Aria’s bed.  It’s made to match those wildflower curtains I made early this year, but with added purple by request.  Can I just say I love the unicorns?  This is like a childhood dream of mine come true!  Um, Aria loves it too.

Sun Squares for Charity

This sunny block is 1 of 3 blocks I’ve made so far for a charity sewing bee organized by my favorite designer, Anna Maria Horner.  Anyone can stitch together a 12.5″ square block (mostly monochromatic) for her Rainbow Around the Block efforts.  She’s making quilts for victims of some nasty flooding in her Tennessee hometown. 

Eco Travel Lids

When I saw this clever idea, I said, “Yes, yes, yes!”  An eco travel lid is the perfect alternative to plastic wrap.  I can’t wait for a chance to show them off next time I’m bringing a dish somewhere!  You can find a link to the EASY tutorial on my blog.

Wild Bunches Pillow

What do you do with your toddler ruins a perfectly sweet pillow?  Give it a facelift!  Here’s another project inspired by “The New Crewel.”  This one was quite fast and felt so gooooood.

Living Color Pillow

I just love how this turned out!  I’d love to make another, but we don’t need one.  Hence the need for commissioned projects!
