What I'm Working on Right Now

Happy Friday! I had a big backlog of finished projects, but today I thought it would be nice to share some things I'm working on right now.


I have two (very different) sets of 12 quilt blocks that have been sitting around for a while, and I've decided to get them both finished up into quilts. The first set is a bunch of warm colored blocks from the first virtual quilt bee I participated in (3x6 bee!), back in 2010. These are long overdue to become a quilt! I've decided to make a smaller version of my Interlaced Quilt. Right now I'm working on the in between blocks, but it shouldn't take long to get this one sewn into a finished quilt top!


This quilt top came together in July! I have a bunch of 2" strips leftover from when I used to make Wrapped Wreath kits, and I wanted to use some of them up. Originally I was going to make a pillow and I made two smaller blocks but wasn't happy with how either turned out. So I made those two blocks larger and then made two more to make this quilt top! I don't always mix stripes in with the florals, so it's a bit different from my typical mix!


I'm currently working on quilting this quilt. The plan is to do some wavy lines in both directions to create a wavy checkerboard quilting pattern!


I've been working on a new pattern! This one has been kicking around my brain for more than 10 years, and it's finally time to get it out!


I started another soft and subtle quilt. This time using my Candyweb block pattern.


I'm really loving how it's coming along. I wasn't sure what it would look like with such low contrast, but I think it's still really cool! I was planning to stop at four blocks, but now I think I've talked myself into nine, so I have five more to make! Taking a little break from this to work on other things at the moment, but I'll come back to it soon!


I've been on a bit of a pillow making spree! I've made three covers in the last few weeks. I've thrifted a bunch of nice pillow forms and I'm slowly covering them all!! I love making pillow covers, they're so satisfying.

Hopefully I can share some of these projects in full soon! I'm struggling to make time to take good photos (baby's nap does not line up with the good light in the sewing room) and do all the computer work behind publishing a blog post at the moment. I would love to show up here more regularly! For now, I'm doing the best I can. Hope you're all well!

Happy Sewing!
