Quilted log cabin pillows

I learned how to make quilted pillows with binding around them.

The first was made from a thread sketch I had done years ago.

The bird center square is cut out from a piece of fabric.

This last one was a custom order, I did a thread sketch of a cute little church in Colorado. 

Thanks for visiting!

love is patient

I have not been blogging, but I have been quilting. Lots and lots. I think it will slow down now with summer getting here, well maybe not. I still choose quilting over yard work - just like house work...  Here is my latest quit, inspired by the current events of people not being nice ~~shudder~~~ I release with the opposite of the spectrum by sewing love.  This quilt has the verses from 1 Corinthians 13 that defines LOVE. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Quilted map - Game of Thrones

 I've been working on a quilted map inspired by the Game of Thrones.

Above is the North.

..and detail of the middle section..

And the South. 

I free motion quilted the outline and the names, the rivers, and the mountains. I hand stitched the King's Road and the trees and some stars for the cities. Finished it up with rubbing some color into the muslin to achieve an aged look. The hardest part of the whole process was getting the pictures taken!

It is for sale on etsy.

1st quilt 2013 - Love is Louder shelter quilt

Here is the my first quilt start to finish of 2013. It is a donation to the local women's shelter. It is full of positive affirmations stitched into the white strips. It is made completely out of scraps. 

Because LOVE is LOUDER than verbal and physical abuse. 

Love is Louder than being homeless. 

Have a happy helpful 2013!

Happy New Year

 The last sun of 2012

dropped out of the sky

Looking like a heart from heaven

Have a blessed New Year!
