Miss Jennifer's Quilt


Y'all. This project will be the death of me. I was supposed to finish this by Christmas... Obviously DIDN'T happen haha. 

After I searched for what felt like a month for fabric that I felt like Jennifer would like. Let me tell you about Jennifer. Imagine the essence of "Georgia Peach" with the biggest heart but with a degree in Sports Medicine. I know, right?? She is the PERFECT match for my little brother, and I adore her so. She went through some family struggles over the holidays and I wanted to give her a little piece of comfort. 

So. Back to progress. It's been an adventure getting this done. I chose lots of pinks, aquas and cream with a bit of forest green to remind her of home. I haven't made this journey alone however...

Blair loves to help... 


The quilt top! 


Piecing these blocks together was tedious but so much fun. This block is my favorite I think. Lots of Moda and Freespirit fabrics! 


This will get straight line quilted and hopefully bound by the end of this weekend. I will post the finished project as soon as it's done! I'm so excited to give this to her. 😊


EDIT: 
It's all finished!!! Hand bound, straight-line quilted and ready to send to Jennifer, I am so EXCITED for her to receive it! 



My next project will be to make my bestie her overdue quilt. Not having a project to work on makes me feel restless, silly right? :)

Yay for New Projects!

Hey everyone! 
You know, truthfully, I really needed a spot to write about, post pictures about, and document this new crazy hobby of mine. Eventually I'm sure that other things will take precedence and no one famous will be reading these so I think it's safe to say, welcome to my blog! 

I've made a few projects already and honestly I wish I had started this sooner so I could have posted these as I made them. :( But! Here are a few pictures of my past projects. 

Baby Oliver loved his blanket for Christmas! Seriously, the cutest baby ever 😊


My first attempt at freemotion quilting. Not my best work but after a few squares I feel like I got the hang of it. 


This one is probably my favorite to date so far. I made this for a coworker and she absolutely loved it! 

From here on out, I'll be posting updates and pictures of all my upcoming projects! I think it'll be so much easier keeping all this in one spot. Yay for new projects!
