Fresh Sewing day

Fresh Sewing Day


Another month has passed and it's Fresh Sewing Day at http://lilysquilts.blogspot.com/

Just what have I been up to all month??? Lots of starts.....very few finishes...none actually.

My computer died yesterday so luckily I have my handy dandy ipad....who knows when the new computer will actually arrive. Posting is a little more tedious this way but here goes.
If it all comes across a little wonky...in my defense, I spent the day babysitting my sweet, little, 14 month-old granddaughter and her brand new puppy.

I could show you numerous works in progress because starting is what I do best, but I'll just show you one, because for me, putting together a mosaic on the ipad is not quite the same as my regular computer.....in other words I don't know how.

I've been working on these large freehand type circles. I'm using mostly shot cottons and striped wovens by Kaffe Fassett.

I love working with these fabrics and they quilt like a dream. Maybe next month I'll have a few finishes to show you....well one can only hope...

  3. This is a beautiful quilt. It looks so great with the big circle quilting pattern. Did you do that on a long-arm? No way could I do that on my sewing machine!

  10. I love your use of colour in those circles - when I look at them I know I wouldn't put those colours together and yet when you do, it looks fabulous
