Mid-Week Sneak Peek

Can you believe I've never made half-square triangles before? I actually taught my mom how to make them, but hadn't done it myself. I decided I would do a zigzag quilt with a whole bunch of random fabrics alternated with some mustard colored Quilter's Linen from Robert Kaufman (actually, I think the color's name is Raffia). I've gotten off to a pretty good start, but man are there a lot of triangles to make! Hahaha.

Making lots of half-square triangles!  256 of them to be exact.

 

Mid-Week Sneak Peek: 02/16/2011

Here is another photo from my current W.I.P. I'm sewing long strips together an they'll form a tube. Then I'll slice up the tube. I'm using my awesome new machine, too!

Sewing strips together - very exciting.

Fun Fabric Friday: 02/11/2011

I recently found out about this fantastic new fabric line called Circa 60 Beach Mod by monaluna from Birch Fabrics and I am so excited about it.  I can't wait to get some - and I know EXACTLY what I'm going to do with it.  My favorites are the Happy Campers, the Trees Meadow, and the Mod Gulls Rust. I love the color combination and the beach-feel (even though I hate the beach because of the dirty sand, salty water, and hot sun!). Plus, it's organic, which is awesome.
