spring wall hanging



Here is the wall hanging I made back in March. On my birthday, in fact!

The block on the left is called "Spring Has Come" and I thought I was making it as a birthday block to give away, until I actually read that the person wanted a white background. So, I made a wall hanging out of it, along with a crocus block that I ended up recreating to give as the birthday block. It all ended up working out and now I have this lovely wall hanging right at the top of the stairs. I hung it up on a round curtain rod that is set on some small Command hooks. Marvelous!

The only problem is that I now need to make a summer wall hanging!

what I've been working on


I've been working on a myriad of projects lately...

1. I've been quilting the Northern Lights quilt for friends in Alaska. I ran into some thread trouble this weekend so I set it aside for a few days and made...
2. Pillow shams. This is the second time I've made some for our bed. For some reason I didn't feel like taking pictures this weekend.
3. Birthday Blocks for my LJ community.
4. A baby quilt with a robot theme, with fabric from the Cogsmo collection, including the panel. Unfortunately I didn't get to work on it much on Monday.
5. I made a spring theme wall hanging in April and I haven't taken a picture of it yet. And it's actually on the wall!
6. Two quilts for Quilts For Kids, one from the kit they sent me (the blue/purple/green one above, with dogs) and another of my own simple creation:

Speaking of the robot quilt, my 2-year-old is napping, so I need to take advantage of some sewing time.
