Waterlily Lap Quilt

This is a quilt top I made over the summer and finally finished this weekend. I quilted it over Thanksgiving break but just couldn't make myself do the binding until now. It's so vintage! 

And the back! 

The fabrics for the patchwork came in strips I put together and sewed into blocks. 

Here she is, waiting for months to be completed. 

Craft Fair

Each December I set up a booth at my local high school's craft fair to sell random things I've made throughout the year. I don't have a lot of pictures of things I make, but here is my setup at the end of the day. I took my leftovers to school, and ended up with a few ornaments, 1 cutting board, 1 serving tray, some earrings (I had a TON) and some paperless towels to take home. I didn't sell any quilts, but didn't expect to because of their price point. I didn't sell all of my door signs, but I don't take those to school, just the things I can set on the counter. 

Christmas Earrings

Here are some of the Christmas earrings I made to sell. The bows on top were a hit. 

Soapmaking with Friends

 I had some work friends come over and make soap with me the day we got out for Thanksgiving break. Everyone did a great job and they all turned out great! I had 3 colors and 3 scents to choose from. The darker yellow did end up darkening quite a bit into brown, due to the vanilla fragrance oil, which was expected. I love the bright greens and dark reds! I made a plain no-color/scent batch to give to my mom for Christmas. It's fantastic for washing fruits and vegetables from the garden or market. 

Leaf Square Quilt

I used some inspiration from browsing Pinterest to create my own layout for this quilt. I used a Riley Blake 10" square pack (it took a few pieces from a second pack) and some leftover white fabric from the Nantucket bolt I used to make the ghost quilts. 

The back has fall leaves. 

I was afraid this quilting would look too Canadian, haha! It's hundreds of maple leafs. 

Before longarming 

Before I decided to add the borders to increase the size, it was fairly simple and made in one evening. 

 

Snowman Door Signs

I have a work friend who asked me to design and cut out door sign kits for her friend group to make. My sister happened to be visiting the weekend I made my practice ones, so she painted one with me. They turned out so cute and her friend group was thrilled! 

Black and Pink Quilt

 I made this quilt top last summer and was finally able to finish it! I used black 108" wideback to finish it. This was made with a pack of 2.5" strips I got from Joann fabrics.
