A "sneak peek" at some quilty fun!

I've been working on a little project the last couple of weeks. I finished it on Monday. In a week or so, I'll be posting and you'll get to see exactly what the little project is. In the meantime, when I started the project, I made a sample in 30's fabrics from my stash. I love 30's fabrics so I liked how it turned out...............
I needed to write instructions and double-check my measurements, so I made another one and this time I used Sandy Gervais' "Awesome" line from Moda. It had all the colors of fall and because fall is my favorite season, I liked how it turned out. :-) What I was thinking of when I started this project was "Christmas". I needed the perfect fabric and again I found it in fabric from Sandy Gervais. This fabric line is called "Adoring" from Moda, and I could not believe how perfect it was for my project! As I stitched, I took photos of each step for a tutorial. The little project is all finished right down to the hand-quilting and the binding. I love how it turned out! :-)

Wait patiently and the tutorial will be posted in about two weeks. That's a tentative date. When I get the "green light", it will be posted and you'll learn what the little project is all about. :-) In the meantime, I have another project that I'm working on and another tutorial to prepare so I better get to it!
Have a great day! I hope it turns out to be a spectacular day!

  1. My grandmother made a quilt for me when I was a small girl. She tended to use fabric like this. I loved it and miss seeing those fabrics. I had no idea I was missing 30's fabric. Thank you for sharing and please share more. I will watch to see where you purchase it so I can make a quilt that will remind me of my wonderful grandmother.

  6. These are lovely peeks of what I'm sure is a great project. It's amazing how the same pattern looks so different with a change of fabric.

  7. Sandi, you're such a tease! Shame on you!

    I love love love those Sandy Gervais lines you are using. In fact, I am using both of them in projects right now myself! I think we have some kind of ESP mind thing going on here! Or we both have equally good taste in fabric! That's it!

    Can't wait for your big reveal.
