Quilts #2 and 3


I've got two quilts this time that I'm working on. One is for me, and one for a friend as my half of a craft swap. Mine's farther along because I started earlier, and my friend's....well, I bought the fabric and figured out the design. That's a good start. Here are the fabrics for the quilts!

My friend's quilt, which will be navy blue and white (or perhaps navy blue and tie-dyed white and grey), and all the patterned fabrics will be cut into owls and handstitched on. She likes owls.

My quilt, which will be more geometric.

Upcoming projects

Main Street in Grapevine, Texas (where I was raised from age 2- 11)

I don't have any completed crafts for you this week. My summer job is in full swing, and 20 hours of my week are now taken up with part-time employment. My photography class starts on Tuesday, which will take up about 25 more hours of every week in July, and unfortunately craft time is getting cut down dramatically in order to cope.

Now, having said that:
1. I cut the pieces for a swishy, fun bohemian skirt. All I need to do is sew them together!
2. All of the fabric is purchased for my next quilt, so once I finalize my design I can get started on that.
3. More jewelry! I purchased a bunch of Scrabble tiles at a junk store and more Dimensional Magic at Joann's awhile back, as well as some beads recently. Added bonus: I now have one of those jewelry display boards so that future photos of the finished craft won't be so bad.

New quilt project

Sorry it's sideways, my computer is a little glitchy lately.

Working on my quilt when I can. My summer is at that crazy stage when you try to get everything done in advance, and then after this comes a small lull, and then true chaos breaks lose as you get ready for fall. Or at least this is how it happens to me. Haven't even started my friend's quilt, sadly, even though I should technically be finishing it about now. It's been at least 100 out for well over three weeks now, and Step 1 of her quilt involves spray dye that I need it to cool down outside for. I'm a summer person, but this is still a little excessive.

Stay cool out!
