Day Twenty-Seven - Quilt Pieces

Today my sister, mom and I went to my aunt's house where she taught us how to do a quilt pattern called "scrappy nine".

This is how far I got today.

Each block is a foot square, so 3'x3' in total right now.  You start with one square of 9 different fabrics and end up with 9 completely different squares. They look pretty random, but everything is actually very organized and calculated. I have more fabric and more colors that I plan to incorporate. I want to make a whole huge quilt eventually.

After finishing our blocks, my aunt took us to Quilter's Heaven. It was an Ahhhmazing quilt shop with more beautiful fabrics. It was so hard to resist going crazy and buying a little bit of everything. I will definitely be back.

Day Nineteen - Framed YoYo Quilt Set in Pink Gingham

Today I was inspired by an Etsy front page that had all pale, soft pinks, whites and naturals. You can see the collection here. I immediately went up to my studio and grabbed this pale pink gingham and made one of my framed yoyo sets. I've been making yoyos (a quilt, vests, jewelry) for 17 years and making and selling these framed sets for 5 years. It was perfect because I actually had two other sets finished, but I just had not taken pictures of them yet, so finishing this set got me into action and now all three have been added to my Etsy shop here.

Day Five - Quilted Rings

Riffling through my jewelry the other day I found an old quilted ring I'd made years ago. I remembered how much fun they were to make, so, for today's thing I worked on making more and decided to offer them in my shop online.
