One For Me?

Well...in the last blog I said that I would be making a quilt like the one pictured for me.  But, alas, I have been so busy with client quilts that I have not had any time to 'play'.  But I did manage to draft a pattern of the quilt. 

It is simple and easy.  It has a good bit of 'negative' space for a lot of 'Modern' quilting!  I have to admit that while this pattern was a project that I really wanted to accomplish, I was the Ultimate Queen of Procrastination when it came to actually drafting and writing the instructions.  But I think it turned out really well, if I do say so myself.  I have sold some to one company with high hopes of selling many more. Check it out at www.GrandBazaarFabrics.com if you want to hop on over and order one.  I will also be in Atlanta at the Sewing and Quilting Expo in October selling these little jewels.
In the meantime this is what I have been up to......

Baby Paxson

Here are photos of my latest and favorite quilt to date.

While we were building the studio I had a lot of extra time for research. I have looked at a ton of different quilts and different quilting techniques. I am so excited by the 'Quilt Modern' style. If you don't know what it is you should totally Google it! Simple and classic. Fresh and new. I couldn't wait to try it. So after getting caught up on client quilts (well, almost) I snuck one of my own on the longarm. It is for a sweet young couple expecting their first baby. I know they loved it and I did too. I hated to give it away...but I know it will be used and cherished and I will absolutely be making another one for me!
What do you think? Now back to some more fun in the new studio
