In addition to finishing this up I have been working on a new Moda Bakeshop project with April Showers from Bonnie and Camille (it is gorgeous!). Watch for that in early March.
And I have been reading. I love to read, but I don't do it often because my other responsibilities get a little neglected. The house gets messy, the kids watch too many movies, I forget to brush my hair. It's not pretty. But I have gone through a dozen or so books in the last couple weeks including a couple that I loved:
Someone needs to hide my Kindle from me.
i absolutely love love love the colors/prints you used in this quilt!!
ReplyDeleteI download audio books to my Kindle. That's the only way I manage to get any "reading" done.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt and the quilting.
Your quilt looks fantastic! You could always do a scrappy binding, not that I'm discouraging shopping ;-) I love April showers so i look forward to seeing what you made!
ReplyDeletelove the quilting on this! lovely ! like that it is not evenly spaced!
ReplyDeleteFabulous looking quilt.
ReplyDeleteI agree with straight line quilting giving the best texture and kids being neglected when good books are started :) Off to add these to my list!
ReplyDeleteThe quilting looks great! I love organic lines on a quilt. I vote buy something new for the binding ;-)
ReplyDeleteoooh, this quilt looks amazing. Love your straight line quilting.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt looks like it's insanely beautiful. I cannot WAIT to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteThe Rosie Project - I just got that one from a friend who loved it, so nice to have another recommendation too!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the quilt, it'll be fabulous.
Love love the quilt. LOVE it. I listened to Eleanor & Park as an audiobook while I quilted. That was a match made in heaven. I loved that book, and I still think about the characters - that doesn't happen that often to me.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading a lot lately too when I should be doing other things - and I read and loved both of those books! I love the colors in that quilt - I'm looking forward to seeing pics of the finish.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is absolutely beautiful. I'm all for finding the perfect fabric for a binding, but you also could piece fabric from your stash to make a pieced binding. You use fabrics from the quilt, or different neutrals, depending on the contrast you're going for. Regardless, I can't wait to see the finished quilt.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see this finished quilt!
ReplyDeletethe quilt looks nice, but a shot of the full quilt would be nice
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes! I loved Eleanor & Park!
ReplyDeleteI would snap that quilt up in a second given the chance. Your work is so inspirational. Someday I hope to make a quilt in your style.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so great! I like the straight quilting at different widths, will have to try it.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics in this quilt! They're gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd I read The Rosie Project late last year! It's a fabulous book.
Will have to look out Eleanor & Park and currently looking for a new book to read.
I totally agree about the quilting...it takes forever. BUT it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty funny- I just finidd Eleanor & Park, and just started The Rosie Project! Also, love the quilt, and 'straightish'.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, and thanks for the book recommendations. I'm a reader too, but I'm the same way, nothing gets done when I'm reading. Right now, I've got my nose stuck in Longbourn.
