Wednesday Work in Progress

I am amazed at all the things some of you fellow bloggers do out there in a week's time! I have been working this week on the Aloha quilt and have the background together kinda like I want it. I have to square it up and thread sketch around all of the mountains and the edges where I rough stitched everything together. I did not turn under any of these pieces, I just did a rough basting then a large zig zag stitch. I think I am going to work on that part next then start adding my little applique items on and the 3D flowers. I am happy with color choices, but I am not crazy about that seam where I joined the water together ....maybe with some thread sketching and quilting I can blend it in a bit.

This is a close up of the sky fabric...it has hibiscus flowers throughout...I thought the water fabric chosen looked like the sun shining down across the water with the yellow bits sprinkled throughout.

Hand Embroidery

Here is an embroidery project I am working on...I got the little girl pattern out of a book by Anna Maria Horner. Check out her blog it has lots of good stuff on it. It will be my daughter Lucie's name and either a pillow or framed when I am done.

                                         T-Shirt Quilt

I had a friend drop off all these t-shirts b/c she wanted a t-shirt quilt made! Maybe she will get more like three :0) I am going to try to make it front back so we will see where this goes...for now I need to sort them out and see what we're working with! Maybe sashing and borders on the front and on the back just shirts....

That's it for now...I better get busy! P.S. I looove the baby doll bedding found here: Baby Doll Crib Set I will have to definately make this for my daughter b/c I have almost the exact bed for her dolls too! I can make it match her bedding..
