Phew, it was a busy weekend! Full of sewing, planning, and visiting with a few new friends! I was able to meet up with Deedrie, Megan and Vanessa for a little pre-Sewing Summit get together! :) It was a great time!
I finished up this mini quilt today! Only one left to go! This one features a traditional dresden plate in red-orange, yellow-orange and blue. It's 12.5" square and I quilted it with my walking foot. The background is Kona Stone, backing is Kona School Bus and binding is Tents by Brandon Mably.
The second mini quilt finished this weekend is this fun stripey logcabin made in teal, turquoise, gold, and gray prints. I was inspired by these awesome blocks. This one is 13.5" square, backed in Kona Coal and bound in Heath by Alexander Henry.
I am still working on various Travel Handmade projects as Sewing Summit draws closer! So, I made a sleeve for my new toy! Michael (sweetest boyfriend ever!), gave me his iPad2 that he just wasn't using. He bought it to replace his paper planner and it wasn't as convenient as he thought it would be. So, now it is mine :) Of course it needed a case right away! I have been hoarding this purple FFA II print and it was perfect for this sleeve. It's lined with a print from Sugar Pop by Liz Scott! Made using this tutorial by the lovely Amber!
Little Apples by Aneela Hoey has arrived ! I knew I wanted this line, first of all because it's cute, but also so I can make a quilt to be the companion to my Sherbet Pips quilt! :) I bought my stack from Julie at The Intrepid Thread!
I'm starting to get a bit nervous for Sewing Summit and so am planning out every detail! An important one, is what to wear during my class! This is what I have so far! My Enchanted Bow Skirt made from 1001 peeps, a Harry Potter t-shirt from Threadless, required brown cardigan, and new flats from Target! What do you think? :)
It's never too early to make pumpkin pie, right?

ReplyDeleteRE: Attire for your class
If you're going to be on your feet a long time, make sure your shoes are comfy!
Jeni,
ReplyDeleteThe projects are all wonderful - I just love the colours you use, in particular in the dresden mini quilt. I am not a fashionista but that outfit looks adorable to me. And mmmmm, pumpkin pie.
Heather
beautiful quilts as always! I have those same flats in black, love them, but they don't have a whole lot of support for walking around all day. :) Just bring a backup pair!
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is so cute!
ReplyDeleteWow, Jeni! Your projects are all wonderful. The outfit is adorable and I know you will look so great in it! Sounds like it was a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteA week and a half, right?! I know you will do great at your class... I'm really looking forward to it! :) ~Jessica
love the outfit, it'll be perfect! and yum, pumpkin pie. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are ready for the summit. Love the outfit :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Dresden--love the swirl in the center.
ReplyDeleteYour outfit for Sewing Summit is absolutely adorable!!
Pumpkin pie-oh no never too early!
Your mini-quilt is beautiful. You will look absolutely smashing in your outfit. A brown cardigan makes anything look better. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the little apples and the pips they match :)
ReplyDeleteI think your outfit is perfect.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Julie the best?! She is super sweet! :) I'm loving the Little Apples line even more the Pips!
ReplyDeleteYou've been a quilting machine lately! I'm loving all the little mini quilts! And no, it's never too early for pumpkin pie...after all, it's Canadian Thanksgiving in two weeks, so you're just joining us. ;)
ReplyDeleteEverything is so cute!! Love your outfit for Sewing Summit... I've been getting nervous too and was thinking about planning out my wardrobe to cope :) Your outfit is perfect! I can't wait to meet you!!
ReplyDeleteyou're going to be even more adorable in that outfit! can't wait for your class.
ReplyDeletelove these mini quilts! They are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love everything! The outfit is adorable. You will be the belle of the ball....8-) I am especially enamored of the Dresden block! Orange is my favorite color. It really speaks to me. Is there any particular Dresden pattern that you used? I would love to make one. I'm not brave enough to make a whole quilt of them, but think I could manage one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! I love your minis and your outfit and fabric and George! Can't wait to see you soon!! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the dresden plate!! what a clever way to do it......Aneela Hoey's fabrics are just heaven but I haven't been able to cut them yet!! I just keep looking at them.....and then of course there is that George.....God ..I love that little bun bun.......give him a little pat from a big fan!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute little outfit! You'll do great at the summit, just send those nerves packing...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you make with the apples but I know you'll amaze me (just keep that blue marking pen away this time)!
That's a very cute outfit - good choices! I'm sure your class will be great - wish I could attend Sewing Summit.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that you madea pumpkin pie already - my husband has requested one from the pumpkins we got from the garden, I just haven't had time yet.
So much to comment on! Your outfit for teaching is super adorable. Your two new minis are so lovely-you're on fire with these!! I bought a smaller stack from the Intrepid Thread last week of just the red Little Apples. I can't wait to use it! And of course, hi, George!
ReplyDeleteI love that skirt - it's amazing! It's got a whole lot of interest, with the pattern, the gathers and the belt - maybe a plain tee-shirt would be better, so the skirt can be the star. Orange would pop. Then the cool HP shirt could have the spotlight in another outfit.
ReplyDeleteOH my gosh, love your outfit--too cute! Peeps make a brilliant skirt. :)
ReplyDeleteCute outfit!! I should start planning mine.
ReplyDeleteI say that outfit is perfect! good luck on your sewing summit!!!
ReplyDeletethat little outfit will look gorgeous - love the fabric "belt" - really finishes it off
ReplyDeletePumpkin pie sounds Delicious! I have some defrosted pumpkin right now that I should whip up. I haven't started planning my outfits yet, but it's just about time!
ReplyDeleteyour mini quilts are so fantastic! i love the colors. but that pie....now i want pie so bad.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours in all of your work. So very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI loved your outfit! I was meaning to ask where you got that tee. It's so cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat to meet you last weekend & thanks again for letting me borrow your iPad!
