It's in the Mail

The 30's reproduction quilt was finished over the weekend and went in the mail yesterday.  It is on it's way to Portland where it will find a home with David.  David and my son grew up together in our old neighborhood.  They attended elementary, junior high, and high school together.  David now lives in Portland and is restoring a 30's era home there.  I hoping he will enjoy this little quilt.  It is from 30's reproduction fabric but with a modern twist.  Pattern is Simply Crazy by Karla Anderson.  I quilted it on my Bernina using a meandering stitch.   I used my new Accuquilt Go to cut the 2 1/2" binding strips.  What a great machine.  Can't wait to use it on actual quilt pieces.  This coming soon.

Crazy 30's Quilt

My first quilt of the new year is on my design wall.  I call it Crazy 30's.  It is made from reproduction 30's fabric and the pattern is Simply Crazy by Karia Alexander.  I have purchased the border prints and will add them as soon as I get the blocks sewn together.  

 I purchased a needleplate for straight stitching for my Janome 11000.  I used it for the first time while sewing these blocks.  It really makes stitching quilt pieces a lot easier.  It is also recommended for free motion quilting.  I purchased a special bobbin case and foot for free motion.  I plan to use them when quilting this little beauty.

  Now I'm off the JoAnn's.  I ran out of white cotton thread just as I finished these blocks.
