The Last Project of The Year

 I can't believe Christmas is almost here and the year 2025 is almost over.  This year has flown by so quickly.  I heard somewhere that the way down hill is faster.  Am I going that direction?   Hahaha

I decided to put other projects on hold and made this the last project of the year.  It's a baby girl quilt for a my son's college friend.  The new parents are over the moon with their first baby girl.  

I'm really happy with the way it turned out.  I love the way all the fray edges soften up the edges of the shapes on the quilt top.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.  May God bless you all with the richest blessings of Health and Happiness, always.

The First Marble

In the last few days, I worked on the first inset circle.  This is the most challenging one because I have to line up two seams that are crucial to the look I want to achieve.  

One of the background fabric is sheerer than the others and while I was composting the background layout, I accidentally put it over one marble.  I liked the way the marble looked through the sheer fabric so I kept them the way they were, frayed edge and all.  This is the way the first marble on the quilt looks.

I can't tell you how many times I undid the seams where the overlap is in order to line up the vertical and horizontal seams.

This project progresses slowly but I'm getting there.  

Thanks for visiting.

I'm Putting New Ideas on Fabric

Hi Friends,

I'm back and started sewing again.  Since August, we've had health crisis in our family that required my attention and care.  I decided to put everything on hold and take care of what was needed.  Now the situation has gotten better and it's time for me to get back to my usual activities.  Though, not completely 100%, I'm starting to make some blocks for my new ideas.  

In the past I have made quilts with marbles ideas.  You can see some of them here and here.  Both quilts were for my friends' grandbaby boys.  This new marble quilt is not for baby.  The idea of this quilt is something more meaningful to me.  Here are some of the marbles that I've made so far.

Can you tell I'm having fun?  I love making these marbles.  They are 12.5" in size and I will use the Inset circle technique to put them into the background later.  

It's good to be back to sewing and creating again.  Working with my hands makes me feel good and relax.  It's a wonderful life!!
