A Cobblestone finish-OMG

This is my second Cobblestone Path quilt I have made.  I love the fun modern look of it and I loved the red aqua fabrics, so together they made for an awesome quilt!  You can see the first one here.

Edited to say: When I post this today I forgot to say it is also my OMG this month!!!!!!  So I'll be linking up at Elm Street Quilts when it goes live.

                

All custom quilted on my Nolting Funquilter 17".  Two different feather sprays go the length of the print fabric columns.  Wishbones are quilted in the white sashings between the feather columns, and the white border all the way around the quilt.

The backing is pieced with some of the leftover prints.  I love print backings and I love pieced backings-a win win;)  They just add so much character to a quilt.

Hobbs 80/20 batting with Glide Thread.  This quilt is now in my Etsy shop.

Booties galore!

I have been busy crocheting baby booties for Bundles of Love. Winter time is the only time of year that I sit and do this in the evening. When I started a few weeks ago I found I had some left from last winter that I didn't get delivered. So I have a very nice batch of 38 ready to go. I will get 2 more pair done before tomorrow morning so that I have 40 to deliver. They are addicting little things to accomplish in a little bit of time. It's fun to combine a couple strands of yarn and see what color you end up with. I am sure I will continue to crochet these through January too.  The crochet pattern I use is called Roll-Tops by Hayley Missingham found on Ravelry.

Yesterday I started cutting out a lap quilt for a future sewing day(maybe at retreat in January).  When I got done with that I decided I was in the piecing mood so I started this lap quilt. I have been wanting to do an aqua/red one for a while now. I picked these fabrics up at JoAnn's Black Friday sale.

I had the white tone on tone in my stash. I will sew into rows this morning and maybe even be able to finish the piecing today, we'll see how far I get.  The pattern is Cobblestone Path on Moda Bake Shop.

A Cobblestone Path-finish

I finished up my Cobblestone Path quilt in time for my monthly goal at Sewbittersweetdesigns for August.  I absolutely love everything about this 46.5 x 65.5" lap quilt.  I talked a bit more about this quilt in this post.  I had a bunch of fun quilting it up this past week.

The white fabric begged me to do U turn quilting on it, and then I wanted these fun funky feather vines on it and thought I could do columns of them if I ignored the piecing and I think it worked out wonderfully. The idea for the feather vines came from Luann Kessi, her sketches are very inspiring! Just look at the texture that I got with the quilting!

Found just the right backing in my stash!  Love when that happens ;-)   The price was right at the red tag 50% off fabric sale at JoAnns even if I didn't know what I would use it for at the time, LOL   Off I go to pick out next month's project!!
