Dresden Plates

This is a small quilt, only about 42" x 42".
The fabrics are from Exclusively Quilters.
They are part of printed yardage.
I cut them up, sashed them, and quilted all the lines
so it looks like it could have been pieced.
It came out really cute.
I did not know that this was something that interested
Carissa, my 18 year old, but she fell in love with it.
Who knew?

What a Hoot!

I have been working on this quilt.
I had made it originally just a small quilt.
Then I was asked if I could make it bigger.
So...now it is bigger!
It might even grow up a bit more,
not sure just yet.

What to do?

So, I am not sure if I am just tired or on a creative streak.
I designed this quilt last night, in my sleep, all night!
I really don't sleep well while designing.
My math just never seems to work in my dreams.
Well, I got up this morning and put the designs
from my sleep into EQ6.
Next I wrote up cutting instructions,
and started cutting and piecing.
Well, here it is:
I think the center is a bit boring.
I am thinking about slicing up the middle
and inserting black strips.
If I cut them 1" wide, it won't change the
measurement of the inside piece.
Maybe I should take a break,
sleep on it, and see how I feel about it in the morning.

This is going to be a busy couple of weeks.
I am busy creating quilt patterns with the Exclusively Quilters fabric lines.
I have many quilts to make in the next 2 weeks,
so there should be many pictures for me to share.
Wish me luck on this crazy quilt marathon.

Wondrous Wednesdays

I know it is Wednesday,
but I finished the Thursday block last night
and just had to share it today!

Now, for some new stuff.
We have the new McKenna Ryan patterns.
"All Cooped Up"

We have new fabrics that go with the patterns, too.
Aren't they Yummy!

The patterns come one block at a time.
I spread them out just so you could see them.

Guess what?
Janis came into the store today with the Tribute to Vincent quilt
all quilted.
It is great!
She did thread painting on it as well.
We should have patterns later this week!
This one is an original by yours truly.
At this time, Bolts in the Bathtub is the only store with the patterns.

Blog at you later,
Tiffany

Monday!!

Here is a small quilt made with the "What a Hoot" fabric line from Exclusively Quilters.
I did this one and took it is to share at Bolts in the Bathtub, and Fay said "Hey, you could make that with the Owl line from Moda too!"  So guess what, I did:

Ta Dah!

I wanted to share something my Grandma Toni is making.
She was asked by her friend of 52 years, Gloria, to make a memory quilt to hang in her casket at her funeral.
My Grandma's friend Gloria is on hospice and will leave us before we are ready.
I have never heard of a casket quilt, I don't think Grandma Toni has either, but she made it up anyway.


Other news, I must have wiped my right eye before I woke up yesterday and scratched it.
I was in great pain yesterday and did not accomplish anything.
Today is a bit better, I am not going to venture outside, because the sunlight hurts so much!
I am in my cave for the day.
I managed to write a couple of patterns and get a few things done at least.
Hope I am much better tomorrow!!
