(Like you said) And then before you know it, you're like: Hey this is kinda ok! And you start stalking the cute prints on the quilting shops and planning endless quilts and wondering why you're putting yourself through the aggravation... and I still don't know the answer but I love the finished products!

Make your own sling. Those two big welded metal rings? They live in the parts drawers in the hardware store. Ask for 2"welded rings/steel if you're not into hunting at this point. Much cheaper and far better than the online ones.<br /><br />Hey, you are making another person who needs a costume!

I was very skeptical about ever sewing a quilt, but ever since my daughter was born I've wanted to give it a go, my pieces are simpler but still in need to be sewn can't wait to see the final outcome.<br />Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14391228300851983626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-22246872991001546102014-08-07T12:26:43.190-07:002014-08-07T12:26:43.190-07:00great quilts - i love your sense of design, with s...great quilts - i love your sense of design, with slightly asymmetrical color blocks... reminds me of Frank Lloyd Wright cantilevered house designs or Japanese woodblock print aesthetics.

Well done transfering your garment sewing skills into quilting - it seems like most people go the other direction.<br />I made one quilt top and 30% of another for two extended-family SHBs, but I wussed out when it came to the actually quilting and made my mom do it. Now she's super into quilts and is taking care of all the family SHBs so I can stick to selfish sewing! (In fact I'm going to send her this link as inspiration, I really like that vertical stripe design of the sea life quilt.) To each his own, I suppose, but it's nice to like both.<br />Plus thanks for the heads up on that Oakland fabric store, I'll have to check that out next time I'm up there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-34158701659191909742014-08-06T18:29:29.668-07:002014-08-06T18:29:29.668-07:00Wow!

The first two are very impressive for first times (esp. the one for SHB it's just fabulous) and the Giants one is a classic! I like it! All sports material should be this creative! Wow, I have to say I'm really loving this underwater theme!!! I might just steal that motif if I ever have a kid!

I know that someone will post a stern warning about deadly toxins, but I recommend the quilt basting spray. It's just so much easier than dealing with all those safety pins.<br /> While you've got the quilting bug, consider making a quilt with PUL backing. Tada!
