QuiltNut Creations: 2019

paper crafting

I did a card making day last week. It was wonderful.

I haven't stamped in so long and it was a well needed day.

I made 24 cards in 4hrs, a record for me!

But my table has looked like this since

I do love it when my two hobbies collide.

quilt monday

When someone tells me their favourite colour is green,

you make their quilt with all the green fabrics.

I absolutely adore how this came out.

I do have a funny story about this quilt.

It finished HUGE. Like, giant.

I wanted to make it smaller but the rows are assembled lengthwise and I wasn't sure how I could 'shrink' the quilt without taking the entire thing apart.

So I simply whacked off the one end of the quilt.

It worked and if I hadn't said something, you would never notice ;)

quilted with Bright n Breezy

I used the leftover greens for the binding and a warm flannel on the back.

Happy Monday!

modern vibes

6 weeks to Christmas and the quilts are coming in as fast as they are going out. I've noticed this year a big jump on modern themed quilts.

Take a look.

addictions

I've been making more leaf blocks for my TrueNorth quilt. They go together so quickly and I am just addicted to making them.

I laid out all my blocks the other day and decided to add a few non-traditional colours.

And since I've taken this picture, I've pulled out 3 and added in 6 lol.

But I got distracted with a picture I saw online and this happened

So fun!! #makealltheleaves

I posted a sneak peek of this finished quilt a few weeks ago. This was the only grad quilt I made for 2019(yay). Summer got completely away from me and I didn't get it finishes until Labour Day weekend. When I realized that the recipient moved to university the day before #fail.

I am thrilled with how this turned out. The recipients favourite colour is purple and I really wanted to do a 2 colour quilt and a starburst pattern was the perfect pattern.

quilted with Hubby Love

I didn't like any of the backing choices there was at the fabric store so I went with a black check. A little bold but it showed off the purple bobbin thread fantastically.
