Diamond Chain Christmas Quilt

A finish!! Yea!! So here is the completed Diamond Chain Quilt, a wonderful quilt-a-long hosted my Melinda, of Tilda's Twisted Life!


I really like this pattern! Is interesting, but simple. It was really fun to make!

Clearly, I had a small issue with the quilting in one area. Don't look too close. Or look close, but don't laugh! And yes, I am way to lazy to pick that out... ;)


I quilted with green and red thread, which is the first time I have used multicolored thread. I really like it! It adds some interest to the large areas of white!

Thanks again to Melinda for hosting this quilt a long! It was fun!!

I am linking up to TGIFF over at Quilt Matters! Be sure to check out all of those great finishes!!

WiP Wednesday - Basting edition!

So... I got a lot done this week! (I was going to say "I was a sewing machine this week" but... well, it is funny, but - you know...)

Anyway - I managed to finish the tops of: Halloween, Diamond Chain, and Twin Frolic.

!!!!!!!!!

Awesome!! So, today I had a massive basting party. See my sweet little helper?


I got Halloween, Diamond Chain, and Summer Series basted. I still need to baste Twin Frolic, and long lost Avignon Picnic.





I also managed to get Halloween quilted, and the binding stitched on, but have no pictures to show for it yet!

I will be out of town this weekend, but I am hoping to get all 5 tops quilted within the next week. I'm hoping, but not totally hopeful. We'll see! Wish me luck!!

WiP Wednesday!

It seems like I haven't done much this week, but in reality, I did make some progress! That's so happy! :)

Super Secret - DONE! In the mail! Yea! But, I still can't show it. :) I'll post pictures SOON, when I know the recipient has seen it first! I was pretty tickled with the finished product though, so stay tuned!

Halloween - I have the blocks sewn together and one border sewn on!! YEA!! One border to go, then on to quilting! It is SO cute!!


Twin Frolic - blocks are sewn! Now, just need to get the top together!

NEW! Diamond Chain Quilt-a-Long with Tilda's Twisted Life! I am a little behind on the quilt a long, but making some progress! I am doing this one as a Christmas quilt! Here's the layout I have so far!


I love the middle fabric! :)

Let's see...
Summer Series in waiting to be quilted.
Long lost Avignon Picnic is waiting to be quilted.

And, I think that is all for this week! Hopefully, I can get Halloween and Frolic tops done, so I can have a massive quilting party! :)
