Hello, from my other self at Stitched in Color! Here’s July’s crafty update for those so inclined.
Aqua & Red and do. Good Stitches
Have you seen these colors together? LOVE! My charity quilting bee, do. Good Stitches, is making it’s first quilt for orphans this August… and it’s an aqua and red sampler quilt. I’m piecing the first blocks now, actually. Need to finish those tonight!
Prompted by reflections on my 1 year sewing anniversary, I started a series designed to help dreamers become sewers. So far in Stitch Your Life, see How to Get Started and How to Buy Fabric.
Hand Quilting on Fairytale Patchwork
Work on Aria’s twin quilt continues. I had so much trouble machine quilting it (that’s the step when you sew all the layers together) that I’ve decided to hand quilt it instead. And, I’m more than halfway done, too!
I tried to refashion one of my summer tops that had seen better days. The key word here is tried.
It’s too late now to win the giveaway, but I also made a tutorial for this half apron. The “on point” quilt square lends itself perfectly to a clothespin apron. You can made one! Really, you can! Please let me know if you do. I’d so love to see it.
Patchwork Christmas StockingsYep, Christmas in July. I’ve felt the itch to stitch for Christmas. It’s now or never, no doubt. So far I’ve finished 2 patchwork Christmas stockings with 2 more to go. Oh, and I also made some fabric gift tags for Christmas this weekend at a crafty social.
So, yah! Share your thoughts, projects and problems with me. I’d love to see what you’re making. Until next time, I’ll be sewing at Stitched in Color.
