Back! Maybe.

Hey dears! It's me again. Bet you'd thought I'd forgotten about this place, eh? Nope! Never did, but inertia is quite the thing. You get out of the habit, and then it just gets harder and harder and harder to sit down and make time. Y'all know how it goes. I'm trying to get back in the hang of it, so here's a few things I've done recently!

My aunt and I have become interested in making things out of the wooden pallets her animal feed comes in. This is a chair we made, as part of her redoing this little corner of her house to make a reading corner! Someday I'll have to take pictures with a camera rather than my cell phone.

A self portrait! Or maybe it's just Asric, being an internet dog. He remains a good dog, even if he sheds a lot.

Also, he sleeps silly, which is a plus.

I don't have any fun stories or quilt news, but I'll try not to be such a stranger. 

Back Again.

Okay, so I'm trying to get back into the habit of posting here, so let's have another small post, shall we?

I posted last time about my peacock quilt. Since then, I've fiddled some, and have decided on something that I think makes me happier overall. Under the cut we'll have some progress bits!

Rise From Your Grave!

Hey guys, did you miss me? Wouldn't blame you if you didn't. I pretty much vanished, and took my comic with me. And the quilting. Well, the quilting I didn't stop dead on, at least. I've been making tiny strides forward on that front. I need to keep going, and I need to take stock of what I -have- so I know how best to continue.

But today's post isn't about that!

Today I'm presenting a new WIP! The start of a brand new quilt! I'm looking to maybe enter it into a couple f contests next year. I think it may need something yet.

Not Her First

It's Wednesday! Time for another update to the ever-slogging tale of the Outrunners. Yay!

What is this?

Because I cannot leave fabric alone around here.

Maybe the start of something new, we'll have to wait and see.

It's been a while since I've updated about this here!

Here!

Yay! It's been too long. I need to remember to mention it more often.

New quilt finished!

Man, I really need to get back into this again.

Anyway, my is finished!

Here it is! Done with the Origins by Basic Grey fabric line. I had a jelly roll of it sitting around for a while, and was glad I found another so I could make this!

I ended up naming it Caithe, because I cannot for the life of me remember the proper name for the pattern and it ended up being called "chains of Caithe" while making it, so why not? I'ma huge Guild Wars nerd anyway.

Anyway! The quilting on it was just your normal meandering stitches, with sharp corners and straight-ish lines. If I had it again to do over I would not have done it so small, because it took forever on my little machine.

Her backside is mostly just a solid yellow, aside from the little stripe of leftovers from the top. I ended up using leftovers for the binding too, so I ended up using pretty much every bit of fabric!

Then a bit of both the front and the back all at once.

I think I'm finally getting the hang of binding up quilts now, which is grand. Now to rest for a few days while I decide which project of the three(!) I have fabric for is next...
