OK, can there ever be too much of a good thing? Well, I don't think so. Especially when it is fabric related. So I have to share with you this latest bit of quilting from the Children at Play collection.
Something for the boys. This quilt only took me 2 days to finish. It could have been done quicker, but you know how life gets in the way of our sewing! I modified the pattern #001 from Zan Taylor Designs, just a bit.
I did it in the quilt-as-you-go style. And sewed my binding on totally by machine. I actually missed sewing it by hand. But it was finished sooner. I think I set a new record for myself! How do you like to put on your binding?
I was inspired by looking up pictures to inspire you using the Sarah Jane fabrics. So this is what I have made so far...
A sweet apron, using my all time favorite fabric in this collection. Not really a practical color for an apron, since I do use it to wipe my hands on while I cook, but super cute none the less.
Two pillowcases behind my mannequin (which I named Bridget). And a sweet posy pin using my fabric scraps and a vintage button.
And here is the bottom portion of a simple quilt for a baby boy. I am doing the quilt as you go technique and should finish sewing it this week. I also have a bit of vintage navy ric rac that I will be sewing on, the perfect touch! I cut up extras of this fabric as a kit - if you're interested.
What have you been working on this week?
