Red Velvet Quilt made with Black Dress 2 fabric

This is what I was  working on last week !

 I fell in love with the Black Dress 2 fabric and knew I wanted to make a quilt with it.    I used 1 layer cake ,black grunge fabric for the black points and ivory grunge  to add to the the X blocks and border . Both from these are from this  line of fabric and really compliment the fabrics.

 I have decided on this fabric for the border .  I have ordered it and it should be here soon . It is black with tan .

The pattern I used is RED VELVET by Thimble Blossoms . I have had this pattern  for some time and have been waiting for just the right fabric to use.


Maybe I should name this quilt BLACK VELVET !


Happy Sewing

NANTUCKET

Another finish .....

Just finished the binding on Nantucket last night!

Oh how I LOVE this quilt !  I am So happy I made it !  The fabric is Midwinter Reds by Moda.  Just beautiful fabric to work with .

After I hung my quilt I decided I should keep with the Seaside Theme and brought out my treasures I have collected on my beach adventures

 The small jar holds my Sea glass and small shells and the large jar holds my  Sand Dollars  from Pismo Beach

  Mary of Quilt Hollow did a AMAZING job quilting this for me.  We chose Paisley & Feathers design because of the paisley fabric I chose for the backing  LOVE IT !!!

Here are a few pictures that Mary sent me before she mailed Nantucket back to me.

Have a Great weekend and Happy Sewing !

Hampton Ridge month # 4 blocks done

I am  trying to keep up with  Hampton Ridge BOM  blocks. 

I am glad to say that I completed my month # 4 blocks  !   Here is all of my blocks I have made so far. 16 down  25 to go !   I love how each block is so different and how every month I never know what  blocks I am going to make next and what fabric they are going to send me.

 These are the 4 blocks I made for month #4  

  I wanted to show you how different they look when I do this !  

This is how they will be laid out in the quilt.

I finished my blocks just in time !  Month #5 just arrived , look I get to make 5 blocks this time  and just look as these yummy fabrics I get to play with  :-D


Our weather has been in the 70's and things are really starting to bloom.  I will try to post some pictures of my gardens Tuesday.  Oh how I love Spring !
