Second Chevron Quilt

Here is the second  chevron quilt.  It is out of Ticklish by Me and My Sisters.  One of the things I like is scrappy styled quilts.  It can be the 2 1/2 inch random blocks or as this quilt is random colors to make a chevron pattern.

I love the modern concept but, don't pull it off well most of the time.  One thing I really like to look for and often am disappointed in quilts is the back.  I like to see how people tie it into the front.  For the backs of my Chevron quilts I wanted to have a single chevron off at a angle and I just love how it turned out.  This quilt is based off our chevron quilt pattern you can find it on either our etsy store or our craftsy store.

New Quilt and Pattern on Craftsy

Today I would like to share my newest quilt and pattern.  It is a Chevron Baby Quilt that measures 40 inch x 40 inch.  It is out of a fabric line called Bungle Jungle.  Three weeks or so Tanya and I decided we wanted to create 3 new patterns for our Craftsy Pattern Store. Tanya wanted them to be HST Quilts.  This is the first of the 3.  But like all projects we start we cant be simple.  We are making 3 patterns x 3 quilts each.  So will in the end have 9 quilts.  All fabric is cut out and they are in various stages of delivery.  This is the first.

Like all of my patterns of Craftsy if you go visit Craftsy and either on one of my projects or one of my patterns make a nice comment about them and then come back here and let me know you did so I will email you for free the pattern.  There is a link at the top of my blog to the Craftsy store where you can see the pattern.

Off the Face of the Earth & LAFF Winner

Maybe we haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but it might seem like it because we haven't blogged much.  Our sewing area is now in the laundry room area/unfinished basement area of the house.  Our washing machine died last week, so everything was stacked in way of sewing table/desk waiting for the washer to be fixed  Good news, the washer has been repaired by Tanya  We were able to wash and dry 3 loads of laundry Friday evening, before the dryer broke.  It was tore apart by Tanya, and more lint than one could imagine was vacuumed out, parts are now on order.  We pushed it back in place, a dryer doesn't leak. We actually got a little sewing done this weekend, so look for a few posts in the next week.

Lately, Tanya has started making some rag pillows. Three have been added to our etsy store and more are planned.  We are going to make these for Christmas gifts for nephews and niece. Our list is shorter this year due to Tanya's Dad getting a divorce.  

[Richard tried to find the 3rd pillow but failed so you just get to read this failed to find image note Tanya insures me that I can find it on Etsy but I am too lazy to go grab it.]

The winner for the month of October for LAFF is Myra at Busy Hand Quilts. (oh and before I could post this already received her response)
