This has been my seat for the past couple of days. In the 6th week of my Quilt Along I am teaching myself/learning from tutorials how to free motion quilt with a darning foot. Yikes it is a little tantalizing. I found a wonderful blog by small means. April is an amazing crafter, I am in love with her loopy quilting style and that is what I am attempting this week on my Quilt Along quilt. It is turning out so cute, I am loving it and getting a great arm workout at the same time.Check out all the wonderful quilts and lovely ladies making them over at the Quilt Along flickr group.
Something else I have been playing around with this week.I am not sure what I will do with it when it’s finished. I watched the Tale of Desperaux with a little friend I had sleepover last week, and was enchanted by the mouses town. This is an interpretation of there little tent homes. I am thinking it could be fun to make a little village for the Calico Critters. I used to have some of these and adored them when I was little, and was reminded of my love for them when Erin blogged about them a little bit ago. I must find some old ones when I am thrifting and garage saleing. I just can’t bring myself to buy the new ones.
Another great project I found over at Julie’s Blog. A baby crinkle toy. I made these two for my youth pastor’s son. He is almost 6 months and loves things that make that crinkling noise. Next on my list of projects I do believe is one of these beautiful coin quilts. There is a wonderful flickr group happening with so many gorgeous quilts, go check it out.
I leave you with a fun picture of me and one of my best friends at bible study, that’s right, bible study. : ) Not everyone was able to make it so we headed out to our local Target to be silly.
That quilt is looking great! I love the loopy sewing design.
