We took advantage of a quick break in the
rainstorms, and snapped a few new pictures
to show off "Zombies, Zombies, Zombies!"
Another post telling the whole backstory can
be found HERE.
This quilt was made for my son, who happens
to hate zombies, so it's a little tongue-in-cheek.
Regardless, he liked his quilt I made last fall.
This marks my second entry into the
Amy's Creative Side. This is a smaller
quilt than "Chicago, 2007", which is entered in
the large quilt category. Measuring in at "52x61",
this will be entered in the "Home Machine Quilted" category.
Zombies is one of the first quilts I had the
chance to quilt on my Janome. I had moved
up from a 7" throat space to a whopping 11"!
I went a little crazy with the graffiti style
quilting, and the grey Aurifil thread popped
on my black Kona backing.
The fabrics were a hoot to work with, and I
loved the fussy cutting possibilities.
I chose a black and white hatched fabric
for the binding shown above.
I think one of the best things about doing so
much freestyle is you develop a rhythm as
you move the quilt.
I pieced the back with the intent for it to
look like little legs on the sides.
Since this was one of the first quilts I made
in my early blogging days last fall, it's new to
most of you. So...
"Ta Dah!"
Time to get back in the archives and put
some labels on old posts, I think. There are
some goodies hiding in there yet, if you
care to check them out.
Like this.
And, yes, Mishsa and his pasture mates are doing
well, and loving their new barn. We'll do an
update on them soon.
If you're new to Pink Doxies, the
Pet Project Show runs Saturday-
