Star Blossoms

I'm trying to make every quilt in Scrap-Basket Beauties by Kim Brackett. Her patterns are fun to use and make good use of my enormous stash. I'm still trying to empty that sewing closet.

This quilt is called Star Blossoms and was made with the Island Hopping fabric line by Jenni Calo.

Star Wars Quilts

Some of my quilts are modern, some are old-fashioned and some are from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

Just gave these three #starwarsquilts to 3 of my awesome nephews!  #quilts #emptyclosetquilting #starwars

Foxes finally finished.

I'm so happy to bind this quilt. It's just adorable. I can't decide whether I should keep it or put it on my online shop emptyclosetquilting.com

I give a lot of quilts as gifts, I have many. But I may just need one more!

Fancy Foxes

I've been looking forward to making this quilt for quite some time. It's so adorable and the blocks were so much fun to piece! The pattern is designed by Elizabeth Hartman and can be purchased here.

The first one took some attention. 

Then I figured out how to make several at a time. 

I was obsessed for a week. Who needs sleep when you can sew?  I have ordered some fabric for the back, I'm so eager to have this little charmer quilted!

What are you working on?  I hope you are enjoying it as much as I enjoyed piecing these little foxes. Happy Sewing!

I'm still sewing!

I'm just not remembering to blog. I'll just admit that I enjoy the immediacy of Instagram. But I have gotten a lot of support from other blogging quilters, so I really do want to continue to blog. 

I did finish piecing my Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt. It's GINORMOUS!! I can't find a place to hold it up for a photo until I can get outside again, so a picture of it on the sewing room floor will have to suffice. 

I can't wait to have it quilted, the colors give it such a feeling of spring. 

Happy Sewing!

Getting there

I have the Grand Illusion Mystery top nearly complete.  I just need to add borders.  Yes, I know I neglected to post some steps.  I got out of the blogging habit.  Hopefully I can get back in a groove.

Now it's time to cut some yellow strips for an inner border.  I have the outer borders pieced and ready to attach. As a treat, I am going to shop for a back.  I haven't purchased much fabric lately.

This is the first time I have tried a mystery quilt.  It was fun to quilt along during the holidays.  But I think I prefer knowing what I am working toward.  I absolutely will be making more quilts designed by Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville.  I just love her philosophies and her patterns.

Happy Sewing!
