My sewing has involved a pretty quilt block, my Patchwork Chevron Quilt and even a little sewing kit! I am hoping to get more quilt blocks into the mix since I am planning on joining the 3x6 quilting bee on Flickr! I have always wanted to join one of those and now I have the time to do it =) Here is the first block I tried.
These are my favorite colors at the moment. This block actually has alot of the scrap fabric from my first quilt which I love. I have seen this design alot on Flickr and love how it showcases alot of different fabrics. I tried to make a little mini quilt out of this with some free motion quilting but that ended terribly! My bottom stitches are looking awful and keep knotting no matter how much I change the tension or re-thread or clean the machine, but only when I try to free motion quilt! It is very frustrating. Might take my machine to my LQS and see if I am doing something wrong. It was fine when I practiced a few weeks ago. Oh well haha.
Then we have my Patchwork Chevron quilt!
All the blocks are finished! I am now in the process of sewing them all together which I am hoping to finish tonight. This is the biggest thing I have ever sewn with an approximate finished size of 78"x78". I have no idea how I am going to quilt something this big haha.
Last I started a Zakka Style sewing kit. I finished the cutting but only sewed together the pin cushion so far. It is soooooo cute! I love Little Apples by Aneela Hoey and was happy to use it here! =)
That's it for now, I am going to Maine this weekend with the Bobert so I am sooo glad the week is almost over!
Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
