Pillow Talk Swap 2012-Sent

I was adventurous enough to sign up for a large swap on Flickr this fall--The Pillow Talk {Swap}!  They had over 100 participants, their biggest one yet!  I made a pillow for a lovely lady that lives in Canada, she seemed eager and easy to please, which is the best kind of partner.

 

 

She loves blue, green, scrappy, and anything in between.

120 wedges + 6 circles = quite a bit of hand appliqué.

I was crazy enough to start with 9 dresden plates, but, the pillow was just too big, 6 plates is much better!

The pillow is approximately 22"x15", which is just right.  

I'll show you my pillow that matches my studio (yes, I have a little studio now!) next year.

 

 

Stacked

I submitted this quilt to QuiltCon's juried show, I'll be happy if it is accepted and happy if it isn't.  I had plans to make this since the spring.  My niece cut out blocks from magazine pages and I thought that it would make a groovy quilt.  

I quilted each block differently, yes, it took a long time.  Next, I quilted the the background, I feel like it grew as I quilted it, this project swallowed my entire week!  I did not have time to post about the progress because I made it in 5 days, it's now balled up in the corner of my studio, just as I was on Friday night...

 

I'll be notified at the end of this month if I am able to ship this baby to Austin!

 

I am prepping for Deluxe Indie Craft Bazaar for the rest of the week, toodles!
