Mini Cross Quilt Pinnie
Mini Cross Quilt Pinnie
September 30th was my fabulous friend Kerrys birthday!
I whipped up a mini quilt and a matching pinnie for her
earlier last month so that my gift for her would get there
on time. I surprised myself by finishing them up way before
the deadline - a week before her birthday. Unusual of me :D
for my birthday/house warming gift. (which Ill show
you how wonderfully it looks in my craft space once I am
done setting it up!) It is the cutest and most meaningful
handmade love :)
Choosing fabrics for this quilt could not have
been more enjoyable, because each and every fabric
used here is what I know Kerry likes! Kumiko Fujita,
Suzuko Koseki, Denyse Schmidt, Lori Holt, cooking,
sewing, typography, vintage fabric, and linen - so ya,
we share the love for lots of fabric designs! And
you know it makes quite a big difference when
you are making something with the fabric not
only you but the recipient covet!
At the time I was making this, I didnt have a quilting
spay on hand, so the quilting didnt come out as flat
and nice as I had envisioned, but I like the fact it has more
"handmade feel" to it because of my not-so-great quilting.
Kerry has inspired me to use alphabet stamps for sewing
craft. If you are a big fan of everything she makes
like me, I bet you too have wondered about stamps
(if you have yet bought them :) I still need practice
Here is a matching pinnie!
The back side is her initial K pieced.
I had been meaning to blog about these on her birthday,
but I was busy whipping up tissue box covers for my
friends this past weekend. Ill be back to show you one
of the tissue box covers I made and hopefully other things too.
In the meantime, dont forget to check out Kerrys
great freezer paper/paper piecing tutorial and to
enter her birthday giveaway!
Thank you for letting me share my creations :)
