I made this quilt while studying abroad in England. Ironically, most of the fabrics in the quilt are historic reproductions, a genre of fabric I am most definitely over at this point...
Except that one tan, pink, and black bit that looks like some sort of brain/root combination. In an attempt to make the quilt somewhat more exciting to make up for what it lacks in color, pattern, etc., I used a bright yellow for the binding. I actually love it, however certain members of my sewing club questioned the collision of modern and traditional:)
Right before my house was warm enough to spend time outside of my quilting/homeworking/sleeping room, I started making a postage stamp quilt. Using the amazing tutorial from Rita at Red Pepper Quilts, the process was actually painless. Postage Stamp quilts are my new go to mindless sewing activity...
Many thanks to Natalie for giving me this awesome resist printed denim from her surface design class. It worked perfectly as the backing for the postage stamp! Well, visually it worked perfecting, in terms of sewing through it with my dull needle, it was a bit of a struggle!
Another quilt from another time. This is the third quilt I ever made...during what I called my "Black, White, and Bright" phase. I hand pieced this in England too, and it has graced the walls of each of my apartments since. Threads 'a hanging, just the top, velcroed to the wall. Classy. It is finally quilted, and ready to hang in my next home...
The Swoon Quilt. Probably my favorite quilt I've ever made. I am in love with the color combination. It might be too much for some, but it's just right for me:)
Detail of the Swoon center. This will be the first quilt I've made myself for my bed!
Here's the new place in Lakewood...after two years without my furniture, I am very excited to have a couch, bed on a frame, and more than four forks. The blog will probably soon be inundated with nerdy home decorating photos. And hopefully more finished quilts...
