The last few days we have had a bit of rain which is always good - good for our garden and good for my creativity. In spring we all like to be outside more, go for walks and take in the sun.
This month I finished a few projects.
1) Baby Angled quilt
Learning how to cut and sew triangles was one of my aims in 2019 and I started the Angled course. Got sidetracked pretty quickly - not only creatively, also professionally. End 2021 I made a candy hexagon quilt and had some blocks left over. I also had quite some triangles from cutting all these hexagons. This was the "push" I needed to finish my triangle baby quilt. Other reasons of course were that the baby was born in December and that I wanted to end all this pink sewing. Did I mention that I was sidetracked a few times? That I made another quilt top in between earlier this year ....
The quilt is done and I like the result, well not fully. The batting I used was this synthetic batting - the only thing I can find where I live - taxes have gone out of control when ordering from the UK or the US. I started sewing diagonal lines and for one or the other reason - my quilt size shrank. If I pulled it straight - and released again - other areas where I quilted horizontal lines this did not happen.
Anyways, the quilt is sweet enough to be gifted and am hoping that washing will reduce this weird shriveling.
Linking up with Patty at the March OMG over at Elm Street Quilts.
2) Tote bag
As part of the tqs fabric swap I received the cutest fabric with vans. I made a tote bag from the fabric, using the two colour schemes on the outside. I have enough fabric to make a second tote bag, or am thinking to try my hands at a backpack for summer.
That's really pretty!
