Swooning Along

Well, I know I say this often, but this past week really has been a whirlwind. Last Sunday I moved from my home that I have lived in since first grade to an apartment 9 hours away. Lets just say there were a few tears on the drive to Tennessee. 

Since I have gotten all moved in I have finished a few projects. I put the binding on 4 quilts and have finished sewing down 3 of them. I will share those with you soon. 

After I finished those I thought I would treat myself with some sewing just for me. I have wanted to make a Swoon quilt since I started quilting. Someday I will make a full size quilt but I decided to make just one block to hang on my wall for right now. I finished piecing it this afternoon and I'm in love with it! 

Sorry they are just Instagram pictures, I will get a better picture of it next week when its finished!

Until next time,

Another One Bites the Dust!

I have finished 2 quilts in the past week, I'm feeling pretty accomplished getting these WIP's done!

 The first one I finished is for my friend Megan. She contacted me a couple months ago asking if I could make a baby quilt for her friend who is having a baby soon. I just used scraps from my stash but I think it turned out pretty cute. 

I took it outside to take pictures, it was the perfect day to do so, so bright and sunny, the first day like this in a long time!

The other quilt I finished has been in the works since I started quilting. the top has been hanging around for almost 2 years! It feels so good to finish it. All I had to do this past week was put binding on. I did it by machine and it worked out great. 

This quilt is now listed in my Etsy shop. 

This past week I also finished quilting a quilt, it just needs binding, I have started making the binding for one of the tops I sent out to be quilted and I basted another today. The end of the school year has given me so much time to sew, its great! I feel like a lean, mean, quilting machine. 

Until next time,
