Hi, it's been awhile! I guess you could say I was on hiatus from this little place. It seems like my real life took over for the past....7 months? Wow, that has been a long time. I have been in the studio a lot, so that means I have been making things, and that is a good thing! So, I think to get myself back into the swing of things, I am going to start posting the little project I have been working on lately.
First, is an ongoing project that I started way back, and finally, this spring I decided on colors and style. It's a quilt for our bed. The pattern I took from
"Last Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts" It's the "Stacked Coins" quilt. I love how simple it is to make this quilt, no fussy quilt templates, just straight cuts. Fast and easy. Although, it is taking me awhile to finish it! For some reason, I get distracted with other projects, then another, and another.... it's endless really! My goal for a finish date is the first day of autumn, stay tuned to see if that happens!
I am using the assorted fabric you see above, and the main body of the quilt will be natural linen. The batting is made of wool. My mom had the batting made at
Zeilinger Wool Company in Frankenmuth, Michigan. They do an excellent job taking your own fiber and processing it into batts, mattress pads, dying of wool, and much more. Check out their website.
As I continue on with this, I'll be posting the progress. After all, that deadline is getting closer!
