odds and ends

Hard to believe that summer 2017 has come and gone. We had a great summer, camping, beach days, amusement parks and a roadtrip to Yellowstone. On the other hand, not a lot of sewing happened but I did get a few things finished.

I made a some baby quilts.



And have another one to get too.


Worked on another secret project ;)


I was 'queen bee' for the TrueNorth bee blocks.


I love happy mail.

And I started a little something for me,






quilt monday

A few years ago, I made grad quilts for some of my friend's children. I than realized how many quilts I would end up making over the next few years lol.

Usually I am able to get idea of favourite colours etc but for this quilt? I had nothing. Luckily I was able to stalk her pinterest board and get a few ideas. This is what I came up with.


Her pinterest was mostly black, white, gold and pink. And simple yet modern. Lucky for me, she was in the midst of a bedroom redo so I found lots of inspiration.


I wanted to do feathers on this so bad but I was worried it would ruin the modern look. Instead, they were the perfect choice.

quilted with Bountiful Feathers

I went with a very pale pink for the binding.



But the backing. See, this graduate, her goal is to go to Disneyland and become a Disney princess. She is (almost) a bigger Disney fan than I am. And I knew exactly what to use for backing.


I'm pretty sure the quilt top will soon become the quilt back lol.
