quilt monday
Hi!
Remember me?
I can not believe it has been so long.
It wasn't planned; it certainly was not meant to last this long!
But I'm back and I have so much good stuff for you.
Firstly, any day now, I'll be posting details for our online store. This is probably the reason why I haven't been blogging. I knew starting a store would be a lot of work behind the scenes but, wow. It was a lot of time spent with my computer! So this week, I'll be adding a button in my banner across the top of my site and and another just above my picture on the right; both will link directly to the store and you can go shopping. Yay!
Now, let's show you a quilt!
This quilt is old. I finished it waaaaaay back in 2018 and never showed you. In my defense, when you have an orange and a light grey cat, don't make a black quilt!
A Basic Grey swoon. The fabric is Cider, I used a black grunge for the background. I also splurged and did a Grunge wideback for the backing. Also, I used a wool batting this time too.
I love it.
Freshly washed and still the cat hair. Ugh.
I will admit, the prints sure pop against that black background.
I used a new favourite for the quilting.
Well, it was a new favourite in 2018 lol.
The pattern is called Swift.
It's funny I am just blogging this now when I have another quilt for us ready to be quilted.
I'll post pics soon!

Happy New Year!
Remember me? Hi!!
That turned into a bit of a longer break than I planned to take but I'm back and let's catch up!
This quilt.
It's the first quilt I have made from fabric from my own store.
Makes it more special to me :)
I cut this quilt out on a Wednesday night. Pieced it on a Thursday, quilted it on the Friday and finished the binding the Saturday morning before the baby shower.
I went with a very traditional quilt pattern this time.
I think it turned out super cute.
I love the simplicity.
quilted with CottonCandy
I've finally ran out of all the bolts of flannel I had for baby quilts so I used a lovely cream plaid for the backing.
I had some leftover blocks and enough flannel so I sewed up a little runner.
I went with a simple meander for the quilting.
And I had just enough matching flannel for the backing.
And now it sits on display in the store :)
Happy Monday!

You had to know I wouldn't have let this sit long without getting quilted.
Like the other one I did, I went with a simple meander.
Had enough of my favourite Ruby Star print for the stars.
I'll probably end up regretting using this old bunch of muslin for the backing.
But it was the perfect amount and I didn't want to have to wait to get some widebacking.
Funny story about the polka dot binding. I was opening a fabric order and may have caught this bolt with my exacto knife. Oops.
It is perfect though.
I love how it greets you when you come inside the shop.
Happy Monday!
