Quilty Things

I used to do a LOT of quilt making, but then I got distracted by the writing bug, and got back into yarn things. A friend asked for help with a quilt she made for her new granddaughter, and the process re-ignited my passion for fabric. 

I have a BUNCH of projects in the works (there are three, er, four that are in active rotation).  I use sewing projects as a carrot for when I sit down to write: If I can focus long enough to get through one chapter, I can spend fifteen minutes sewing. 

​My inspiration for one of my top-of-the-pile projects is here on Pinterest (I don't know what kind of copyright stuff would happen if I posted it here). 

Getting the paper out of the little appliqued top petals is interesting!

I hand-dyed this fabric...the blue and purple happened by accident, and I think it's really cool that this is two-sided now, with the resist from the white-on-white print.

These are my freezer-paper-pieced hydrangeas. I'm not sure if all the colors work, and I know it's not going to look like the Pinterest version, but it's fun to work on.

Stay tuned for more Works in Progress!
