SO my house is buried under Inches FEET of snow!
Third week in a row of two snow days off from school!
With two more snow storms expecting to be coming into
Boston and surrounding areas in the next few days …
I could be getting LOTS of hand stitching done!!
Taking full advantage of the snow days I decided to … Yup….
Started working on another new project...
Along with the snow my Quilting ADHD has set in!
Let me back track a bit…
a month ago one of the nurses that I work with brought in
a quilt that was made by her Great Aunt.
A beauty Vintage Quilt!
looks to me like it may be from the 30's - but not sure.
It's in great condition, just a few little stains here and there
but no fabric fading!
Here is a close up of one of the blocks
they measure 18" x 16" - good size blocks
It is all hand quilted.
Check out the whip stitch binding technique,
below in blue thread!
I decided this quilt was just way to cute,
so I traced the pattern,
and made my own templates
coming up with my very own CUTIE!
Background is a Moda Bella Solid in cream,
the solids are mostly Moda Solids with a Kaffe Shot Cotton thrown in,
and the flowered fabrics are mostly "Liberty of London" (purchased on Etsy!)
or "London Calling" by Kaufman.
Here is block two in progress …
Love the red polka dot fabric (from my Japanese import stash!)
pairs nicely with the "Liberty of London" fabric
This is going to be a fun one!!
But aren't they ALL!!!
Cross you fingers that Boston and surrounding areas
won't be totally buried with more snow in the next week!!
But then again …
it just means more time for cutie projects!
