I finished this Luna Notte quilt for the shop where I work. It's made with a fat eighth bundle and a small amount of yardage. The pattern has 4 different ways to arrange the blocks to get different looks, but I really liked this one with the dark chains running diagonally.
I had a very productive weekend in my sewing room. I am cutting out a project to take to my guild retreat, which starts November 10 (yahoo!). One new project and one I need to finish (2nd Story).
I'm working on my Route 44 class quilt now and if that's not finished, I'll take it with me, too.
I also made a new ironing board cover with some cute MoMo Wonderland fabric in a heavier weight cotton. I didn't want to go out yesterday to get twill tape, so I will stop on the way home and pick some up, then I can share a photo. It looks very cute, and I always like to have a pretty, new cover when I take my board to retreat.
We had a good Halloween. We live in a newer neighborhood with houses close together and sidewalks, so a lot of kids come to trick-or-treat. DH had to turn the lights off early because we ran out of candy within the first hour. I took my DD and her friend out - they both dressed as Lady Gaga.
I love that quilt. It turned out beautiful! Lil is a cutie pie as Lady Gaga. =)
ReplyDeleteI do love the chain made by the darker fabric - very striking and effective!
ReplyDeleteLisa, the quilt is beautiful! Wishing I had bought that group. And Lady Gaga..how cute is she :).
ReplyDeleteQuilt looks stunning. I like the the dark fabric placement. That quilt was a great design for that fabric collection. Your daughter looks sweet as can be!
ReplyDeleteWow! What is that pattern? I love it! Your quilt is fantastic. How long until it gets to come live at your house?
ReplyDeleteI love that quilt!! Is there a particular pattern name? I have some of that fabric and would love to do something similar.
ReplyDeleteYour daugher looks adorable. The perfect Lady Gaga!!
What an awesome quilt! Cute Little Lady Gaga!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is very cool -- I hope the kits sell quickly and you can bring it home from the shop soon! Do I ever love your little "Lady Gaga" I also recognize those shoes, they seem to get a lot of wear, multi-purpose shall we say?
ReplyDeleteLisa, your ironing board cover is a delight. I love it. I love it even more than my own red-and-white polka dot one. Thank you for sharing.Oh, and the quilt is lovely too. But that ironing board cover! WOW!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa! I absolutely love what you did with Luna Notte! I picked up a charm pack of it a while back and am thinking maybe I should add to it! Lily Gaga is adorable in her costume!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Luna Notte is wonderful! Lots of piecing. You've been a busy bee. Can't wait to hear about your retreat. All the ladies will be envious of your new ironing board cover. I like to use a lot of steam also, and condensation builds up on the underside of my board, and then when I fold it up to put it away, all this water runs down the backside. Does that happen to yours too?
