Some Napkins and a Survey

Hi everyone.  I wonder if you'll do me a tremendous favor and fill out this survey I created.  You see, I'm still thinking about opening a shop and to gather information to help me with my decision, I'd like to ask you some questions.

There is a little link to click on in my left sidebar, just above the Modern Quilt Guild logo.

I really and truly appreciate all of you who take the time to do this for me...thank you!

And now some napkins...

...made with a spectrum bundle from Purl Soho.  I learned to do my napkin corners from this tutorial a long time ago. It's the same one I used to make these cocktail napkins.

 

Napkins are a great project for playing around with decorative stitches, don't you think?

 

Help Women, Win Fabric

Head on over to Alissa's blog today and dig deep.  She is hosting a fundraiser for the Kivu Sewing Workshop, a worthy cause if ever there was one.  Donate and be entered to win some AMAZING fabric prizes.

More Bee Blocks

These are for Emily who gave a LOT of gorgeous fabric choices and wanted each to have the floral and the kona coal in it.  She asked for various sized blocks, though not too small. And no log cabins. 

 

The "plaid" one is very poorly constructed but after numerous attempts at fixing it I finally just gave up. I was just spazzing out that day for some reason!  Emily can choose to use it or not.  I'm happy with the other two, though!

The BAD Plaid:

Quilt Blocks for Jane

More Bee Mod Madness!  These are for Jane.

 

Bee Mod Quilt Finished!

Yay!  It's finished!  And it's double sided.  This was made with the fabulous work of so many amazing quilters from the LAMQG for our Bee Mod Quilt Bee.  I posted more about it back here.

Many of the fabrics in here I got from Spoonflower.  I just love the Laurie Wisbrun fabrics.

Gone Camping and a Quilt

Heading to NY for a few days tomorrow to visit the family, just me and the kiddos.  Then off to PA with some good friends for a bit of camping.  I'm a bit nervous about not having any backup...I'll let you know how it goes!

I made this quilt as a gift for my wonderful friends, with a jelly roll of Happy Campers by American Jane and some Michael Miller Ta Dot for the binding.

I used the basting gun again and this time wasn't as happy with the results, mostly because twice I cut the fabric, yes, 2x, when I was cutting off the tags as I quilted.  So some extra stippling and fabric were employed while I cried and cursed myself.  I hope they won't notice.
