KaleidoScrap Quilt

I have another finish to share today.  It's another design I did for Triangles on a Roll called KaleidoScrap.  Because it looks like a kaleidoscope to me, and I made it all out of Riley Blake Scraps from the Super Scraptastic Scrap Eater quilt, with the exception of a couple of other scraps.

The bright, colorful basics are so happy!  

I tacked it to the fence in our backyard on an overcast day, and I wish it was overcast every time I needed to take a picture of a quilt! It made the colors really stand out!



Looking back now, I'm not sure I ever blogged about Super Scraptastic Scrap Eater.  I made it to go to spring market with Riley Blake, out of all of their basic lines.. dots, quatrefoile, solids, shades, gingham, holidays, etc.  

It was a lot of fun to make. The white triangles look like teeth to me.  


Both patterns are in my Craftsy shop and both have sizes ranging up to king.

Here's a preview of another quilt I'll have to share soon.  It's called Homestead Betty.  It's an epic red and white sampler. :) All of these quilts will be at Quilt Market and Festival in the Triangles on a Roll booth. Leaving next Wednesday. Exciting but scary!


Gonna try to line up some giveaways for when I'm gone.

Happy Tuesday!! Thanks for popping in!

Wife of Pi Quilt




Knock, knock! Is anyone still out there?  It's been sooo long since I've logged into my blog that I had to knock all kind of cobwebs down and retrieve my password and set a new one b/c I couldn't remember it and it had logged me out! :) It's been so long since I've posted anything, I feel weird and self conscious, like a stranger here, kind of. ;)

What a busy year it's been! We visited my parents in the midwest for a couple of weeks this summer, we had to get our house painted, our A/C broke, ... it's been the summer of house projects. I've also been sewing like crazy all summer long, and especially the last few weeks.  I'll have lots of new stuff to share very soon.

But today, I thought I'd log on and post about my Wife of Pi quilt.

My hub has already called dibs on it and is asking when he can use it. :)



No one was here to help me take a pic of this quilt, so I got the ladder out and some pant hangers and kept my fingers crossed that I wouldn't fall getting it up there!

I'm so happy with the bright colors and how it turned out! My friend Beth said "Oh, it's very mathy!" That, along with walking past my hub's copy of the book The Life of Pi, I sort of just started calling it the Wife of Pi, and it stuck. :) That's how it got its name. I found some very mathy backing fabric for it too. :)



It's going to be in the Triangles on a Roll booth in Houston in a few weeks.  Is anyone going to the Quilt Festival?  Come and find us! I'm so excited to go, I've never been, and have only been to a couple of local quilt festivals.

This is my favorite of the pictures.. it has the vintage patio chair that used to belong to my hub's grandparents all shined up. *swoon* 




It's also bound with some fabric that I found in my late grandmother's fabric bin. *double swoon* Her favorite color was purple. When I pressed it, the heat brought out the smell of her house. :) Crazy how that happens. Made me miss her but feel close to her at the same time.



The swirls seemed to echo the quilting, too. Like it was meant to be. I had a hard time deciding what to bind it with.. someone on FB suggested I face it.  I had never heard of that. So I was googling, etc trying to figure out what to do. Right about that time I found this fabric.  I like to think that it found me. :) 

Pat Roche quilted.  She is so good!



It's in my Craftsy shop if anyone wants to give it a try.  Please come say hi at Quilt Festival!! I'll be the shy, socially awkward one in the corner of the Triangles on a Roll booth. haha :) Really, though. ;)

xoxo
