I had a working weekend, trying to complete some upcoming challenges due in the next couple of weeks, some things on my "to do" list, and holy cow - The Bloggers Quilt Festival is in TWO WEEKS.
(And I don't have my quilt done for it yet. But I'm not panicking, nooooooooooooooooooo. )
So, one of the things I worked on this weekend was finishing up this quilt called "My Little Sweet Pea". Although it's quite a simple twin sized quilt (with a rather long name) I'm still rather proud of it as it's made of all my hand dyed fabric.
I did it myself I did! The centre blocks are made from my first experiments with parfait dyeing, chronicled here.
And as you probably know, I've been working on it ever since, whenever I'm "in the mood". The last time I had it out, I realized that there was only another hour of work left, and promised myself I get it done before the end of October.
Yay me, I did!

I like the cross hatch quilting. Was it a lot of stop and go to skip over the dyed panels? What size it? Lovely color also.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting on this work, Kit!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I love that you dyed the fabric yourself...and then turned it into a beautiful quilt! Very inspiring!!
ReplyDeleteOh Kit, you are so smart not to get caught up in the Pinterest circle. I think the way you're using it is the way it was originally meant to be used, but it has become something else completely.
ReplyDeleteI entered the Blogger's quilt festival last spring for the first time and loved it. I trying to finish up a quilt I began this summer in a Quilt Univ. class for this fall's show. Buuuuutttt as I said , I've been distracted, plus I'm teaching a class once a week on the Quilts: Questions and Quest and between the two, I've been very slow going in the studio.
I love your quilt. Pink always reminds me of springtime.
thanks Dee. :) I hope you'll be able to enter it again this fall - it's always fun to see and be seen. :)
