Purple Quilt

This purple quilt is a vanishing 9 patch.

Purple is a color that tends to sell well on our etsy store, but it is hard finding purple fabric in quilt stores.

I wanted a purple stripe for binding, but ended up with a purple gingham.  

We linked up with  Monday Making and Patchwork Times

The back is off white.  The binding is scrappy.

Christmas Time Sewing

We decided to make some Christmas Stockings.  Here are some of the fronts.  Some will be for family and some will be added to our etsy store.

Here are two table runners that we have finished and added to our store or if they don't sell this year, will be stockpiled for a show for next year.  If you would like to buy or like one of these table runners please vist our etsy store.  Here is a link to the 2nd one.

I have been selling patterns on Craftsy for a couple years now and recently Craftsy has changed and I am not sure if its for the better.  One big change that I think is for the better is that you can now rate craftsy patterns easier.  These two table runners are created using a pattern that I sell on Craftsy.  I use to be able to add projects and link them to this pattern, but because of the changes I no longer can link new projects up.  Sadly that means I can not link up these two finishes.   I would like to try and get better ratings on Craftsy and as such I am looking for people that can add a review to my Diagonal Table Runner.  I will give anyone a copy of my pattern just for commenting here on this post or on my facebook page (make sure I have a email to send the digital pattern too).  If you like it please give a me a good review on Craftsy.

Elephant and Chevron Rag Quilt

Here is a rag quilt that is elephants and chevrons and blue.

I know you are thinking, another rag quilt, aren't you tired of those yet.

They tend to be popular on our etsy site. 

Modern Lap Quilt

This was supposed to be a baby quilt when it started. When I designed this out in EQ7, Tanya told me it was a bit small, so I made it bigger.  Well it went from baby size to a decent size lap quilt.

It actually measures 58 by 59 inches.  I was going for a modern squares look and feel, which I think turned out well. The plan was to do a pattern for this quilt which I would like to still do.  I wanted it to be a baby size quilt, so I will have to rescale my quilt a little to be the size I want it to be.  It was supposed to be around 40 by 40 inches.

We didn't have a wide back and had already purchased the floral fabric for the baby sized version.  We sewed some off white to both sides and made our back work for us.

The blank space on the background was quilted in wonky boxes.  The machine I used doesn't have a guide, but is much faster.   The other machine finally got repaired. The third repair shop did the trick, but Tanya and I basically switched machines. I use the Janome 1600P-QC (straight line only machine) and she is using the Janome 6300 Memory Craft.  It is nice to not have to share a machine again.  This allows us both to work on different quilting project with out having to re-thread the machine all of the time or move each others projects.
