Gypsy Wife Quilt By Jen Kingwell

I am working on the Gypsy Wife Quilt.  Very challenging but fun and only using scraps from my bins to do this.  Can't imagine how long this is going to take me to complete but will have fun working on it.  I am a sewer/quilter that likes many projects going at same time.  I just like to work with different fabrics and colors.  I have another block of the month quilt from 2014 that I recently started and have made 2 24 inch blocks so far and have 7 more to go so after a few more sections of Gypsy Wife I will return to block of the month.   Look at the pictures below. These are blocks that are made from scraps and they are So much fun to make.   I believe this will turn out to be a beautiful quilt.   Jen kinwell has some very pretty patterns they all seem to be made from random scraps. This is good for me as I have a huge scrap pile.  As I continue to work on the quilt I will post additional photos and definitely when finished I will post the finished results. Sewing in quilting is very addictive for me.  I will have to post a blog on my block of month quilt as I continue working on it.

Christmas Quilts I Made

 Here are some of the Christmas that I have made.   I always buy too much fabric when making a quilt so with some of my leftovers And some additional fabrics I made these .  Here they are in order of making them and have use some of same fabrics in each though some of fabrics were used on the backs.  The last 2 were quilted by me on my George.  I need a lot more practice. I actually made one more quilt like the last one pictured here but gave it away with pictures.  The first quilt pattern came from a Fons and Porter magazine and was pretty time consuming to piece.   I had it quilted by Kathy Kirk in Apex North Carolina.  She is an excellent long arm quilter.  www.quiltingcowgirl.com

Quilt Salvage Edge Projects

I thought I would share a few of my salvage edge projects.  The quilt is just a design I made up to use up some of my salvage blocks I had worked on over the winter months.

The bag was quite intimidating but finally got it finished. My do plan to make more of those now that I have it figured out .

Sewing Room Pictures

It has certainly been awhile since I have posted anything.  I have been busy reading other more interesting blogs.  I think I am going to try and post regularly just to keep up with my projects.  I actually forget what I have made and I give so many of them away before I even make pictures.

First of all you can see from my pictures I have spent some time in last year working on my sewing studio.  This is my favorite place to spend my time.  I try to sew at least 30 minutes every day.

I have a Bernina 710, a Bernina 630, and a sit down George by APQS which I use for my quilting projects all of which I like.
