This post is for me. As I began this new year, I was thinking of how many projects I wanted to do. I got a late start in 2010 and didn't get as much done as I 'should' have. Then I started going though the photos of projects that I have done this year and was really shocked at how many quilts I had actually completed.
 |
| My first attempt at quilting in many years! I wanted a kitchen tablecloth that would protect my table. A Kaliedescope filled the bill...I did not feel confident about quilting it (my first attempt at free motion quilting, so..... |
 |
| I took some left over hexagons, appliqued them to an old pillowcase and practiced free motion quilting on it before I quilted the tablecloth. |
 |
| This one was done for Ted's mom on Mother's Day. |
 |
| This covers the fuse box in my Studio. Made from leftovers from Ann's Quilt |
 |
| Another Mother's Day quilt. This one for my Mom to put over the bed in her guest room. |
 |
| From the first TBASSS a tablecloth for Granny! |
 |
| I did not actually quilt this one. It covers a window in my stairwell that gets a lot of light. My first attempt at dying my own fabrics! |
 |
| I call this one 'Sparkling Garden' It hangs in my office and I often look up and see something in it that I had not noticed before. That is the facinating thing about kaleidesope quilts! |

 |
| This was when I was designing the above quilt. trying out different arrangements. |
 |
| Another attempt to hand dye fabric, These were made to use in a session of TBASSS (The Broke Ass Sisters Sewing Soiree). |
 |
| some of the brighter colors... |
 |
| The finished quilt from the fabrics that I dyed. I have some that I did not use so I can do another one! |
 |
| ANOTHER kaliedescope quilt? Yup... Except this time I went really crazy...I just kept buying fabrics for this quilt that I wanted to put on my couch...... |
 |
| I had to use up some of the fabrics so I log cabin pieced the back of the quilt...... |
 |
| Then I decided to cover the pillows on the couch... just so it would all coodinate..... |
 |
| It makes a very nice bed! |
 |
| The couch in daytime... |
 |
| I couldn't quit... I was on a roll.... I covered the arms of the couch.... |
 |
| Made a little caddy for the remotes... and of course my glasses needed a home.... |
 |
| I did the free motion quilting stippling in a very small configuration. and made sure I covered every joint of every hexagon! |
