Strippin' in Black and White

Nope...it's not what you think.

Or...maybe it is!

It was recently brought to my attention that my Etsy shop is overloaded with (ahem) 'girly stuff'. 

Vintage sheet Pink Rail fence

I realized..... that's very true.  There's a lot of pinks and pastels and shall we say, more feminine quilts and things on there. Not so much for in the Manly Men department.

So I am working on that discrepancy this week!

Here's a sneak peek:

Strip Quilts come together quickly!

I cut some of my fav black and white fabrics into varied widths

 

 

I don't know...felt like someone was watching me....

So I have a few planned to work on this week, and a few more finished tops that just need to be quilted up.

Heading up to sew for awhile, get some work done!

OOOOH and I almost forgot...finally finally finally 'they' are printing ALL the superheroines onto fabric!!  When I cut into this darling, I will DEF let you all know what it's turning into!

Batgirl, Supergirl AND Wonderwoman, together at last!

 

 

My finished Wonderwoman Quilt; a gift for my bestie!!

Holy Cow,it's WIP Again! Yay!

Okay so I'm almost caught up...um, sorta....heh.

Here's my updates for WIP Wednesday:

 

This quilt is a custom order; just awaiting FMQ and binding, to be done tonite after work. Yay!

Circus Animal Quilt

 

This is a custom memory quilt made from baby clothes and blankets. A bit of a challenge, but it is awating quilting and binding..

Baby Clothes Memory Quilt

 

A custom order, new this week, so needs to be sandwiched, basted and quilted.

A custom order Rail Fence with creams and browns.

 

This colour block quilt is for me; I LOVED the colours of the fabric.I had a "Oooh" moment in the fabric store and it was almost painful to cut into this fabric (I know you know what I mean) but it came together with hot pink blender cotton that I love it even more now. I decided to make it bigger, queen bed sized, so adding more as I go.

Other quilts:

My Pink & Green Railfence: No progress

Misc quilt tops for store: Some extra blocks assembled, no real big woop progress this week.

That's it for now, I'm off to work. More quilting to be done later tonite!!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday, here in Elgin County the temps went back up nicely today!

It's not a Quilt

But; I made this!

I don't know where the idea came from but suddenly, I needed to make this.

 

 

I used my phone to take this pic; not the greatest quality. But it really is super cute.

It's scrap fabric used as matting around a page I pulled from a magazine.

The black frame isn't the best for it, but it's what I had around....whaddaya think? 

Am I on to something? Feel free to take this idea and run with it!

And I did do work on quilts yesterday, really I did!

 - I had to take apart the shiny block quilt and re-pin baste it, the backing fabric was caught on a pin and had folded wonky. 

- I also cut and pieced a million (or so it seemed) 9inch 9 patch squares for my adapted Hawaii Sunset quilt; and um, didn't do anything on the G&P Teenager's Quilt.

But the absolute BEST part of the day was finding a solid dark wood (not sure what kind) old entertainment unit that was PERFECT for all my winter sweaters and stuff. I was looking for vintage material at the BEST thrift store ever and found this Unit for THIRTY DOLLARS!!!!!!

It was a bit stressful getting it up the stairs but we did it!

Okay. Going back down to the Quilt Cave. Got some work to do!
