Pet Project Show #14



I can't give a million excuses why I didn't get the 
post up late last night. I sewed all day, cooked 
dinner, and had a glass of wine. I dozed off before 
8 p.m., and once that happened, who knows what I 
would have written! I'm up early, though, and 
ready to party with you this weekend.

Embellished Spring Front


 Cassandra at The Not So Dramatic Life
There are so many aspects to comment on--
graphic background, striped binding, etc. This is 
so well done. I think I am especially drawn 
to the FMQ echoing of her motif, and her use of 
color. Notice the thread color changes 
 made to highlight the outline.

Mary at Strip Quilts, Pass It On: Beautifully
orchestrated with your low-volume and high
contrast prints. I get exasperated when someone
says to me, "Oh, a scrappy quilt." That doesn't
mean it all comes together and just works. There
was a lot of decision making that went into this
piece to balance the colors, the prints, and the 
overall feel. I really enjoy it.



Sarah at  Confessions of a Fabric Addicit: I think I 
could sail away on this quilt. It has such simple
lines, and the background quilting is intense. The 
'sails' just pop. I think I am drawn to the story 
and love in it, too.


Thank you to everyone who linked up in March! 
I sincerely love seeing your projects, and best of all,

Pet Project Show #13


My Life Aquiltic
A very modern looking pieced back using my 
remnants. I envision a column of ocean water 
with a small wave swell on top.


I spent yesterday sewing alongside my mom. 
She worked on her Little Dresses for Africa, and 
I finished this quilt top. (Aren't we lucky?) 
This will be another Pie Quilt.




I had to snap these pictures late yesterday
afternoon before I lost the light. I wanted
you to have a realistic idea of how relaxed
I am when making a quilt sandwich. I've 
had some shifting in the back while moving
it around so I'll need to fix that before 
I actually start FMQ. I'm also adding 
just a little more length to the ends, 
 to ensure I don't run out of backing
while quilting. You will get shrinkage.




I'm off taking a class today in creating a 
landscape quilt. It's offered through my new
and sounded too interesting to pass up.
Besides, I've made some good friends there
already, and they're coming. Quilting is a 
social hobby if you want it to be.


This was last Saturday at Heritage Arts Days.
How can you not smile when you're
sewing among friends?

Compassion
                                                                            
What do you think when you see a sign
with "Free" on it?

I have a tendency to think there's got to be
a catch, or in the case above, 
it's going to cost me a lot. 
'Cuz nothing is free! 

Really?

Pet Project Show #10


It's Saturday, and time for the 
Pink Doxies
Pet Project Show.
I'm so glad you're here!

 

Let's look at some of the Doxie Girls
favorite link ups for the past month.

Melissa made this wonderfully scrappy quilt that

appeals to me for it's improvisation, but I love
for it's beautiful story.

GROW YOUR BLOG

This is me--Julie, and Minnie, one of the Doxie Girls.

Today is a very special blog post. 
I've joined with Grow Your Blog 2015 along with hundreds of other bloggers. 
Our host is Vicki at 2 Bags Full, and may I say thank you, first of all. 
There are some rules to abide by, so allow me to follow them to a "T",
and then we'll get on to our Linky Party and a Giveaway!

I'm Julie--a Modern Quilter.
I love modern fabric, intense pattern, and improvisational piecing.
I'm all about machine quilting, but occasionally quilt one by hand. 
I would pick a scrap quilt as my favorite 8 days of the week.

 I Dream in Color.

Christmas palms, and, yes, the berries are really that red! 
I'm off on a get-a-way for a couple days,
and out with my camera to snap some color.

I'm Planning a Party! Wanna Come?


I'm proud to say the tote is done. 
The handles are on, and it's ready for service. 
No more travelling in blue Ikea bags for me.
Woohoo!
