This was probably the biggest project I’ve tackled to date (aside from hand quilting a king-sized quilt for my parents…still working on that). It’s also been one of most gratifying projects. Finishing it was almost bittersweet. Almost. It was mostly exciting—but it was so pretty, it was hard to say goodbye!
For this final wedding in July, I chose to make potholders. My original plan was to try out some disappearing nine-patch patterns. (This is where you make a nine-patch block and then cut it up and sew it back together.)
My second July wedding was in Naperville, Illinois. And it was beautiful—the church had stained glass windows and clear glass skylights, it felt open and bright and rich with history. The reception was in a garden-hidden banquet hall. They used two different shades of green from their colors.
I’ve entered a new phase—most of my friends are starting to have babies (and if they’re not having babies, they’re talking about it). This means that the baby blanket frenzy is about to begin! I’ve made several in the past, you’ve probably seen the Pink Lemonade Chevron blanket for sweet Eliana. And if you follow my Instagram it’s possible you’ve seen others as well. I imagine this space will begin to see more and more—which is exciting because I love making them!
Hello? Anybody there? It’s been a hot month since the last time I posted on the blog. Let me tell you, July has been crazy. I had an impromptu hiatus due to too many projects, not enough time, and traveling—over 30 hours in the car. I’ll be talking more about that later for a Reflection Sunday post…but let’s talk about one of the projects I pumped out this month!
