Blogger's Quilt Festival


Hey guys, guess what? Come a little closer, I have something to tell you. I'm going to whisper it really quietly though, so I don't scare it off. 

*I think my sew-jo might have come back*

It's a slight possibility, but still a good chance. I spent the better part of yesterday actually MAKING stuff, with my sewing machine!! And and and.....When I had to stop and make dinner, I couldn't wait to get back to it!

So while I keep on trucking so I'll have something to actually share with you guys, I'm going to throw in an entry to the Blogger's Quilt Festival to at least give you something to look at in the meantime.

Now, it hasn't been that long since I posted this one, so I do apologize for shoving it in your faces yet again, but it was fun and I enjoyed making it!

My entry is my Storm at Sea mini that I made as part of a doll quilt swap.

DS Mini Swap-Storm at Sea

This quilt measures at 16" and was entirely paper pieced.

There are some very tiny pieces in there! I think the larger diamond shapes measured somewhere in the vicinity of 2"x 3" if that tells you anything. 

I made this during my annual weekend retreat at my friend Karen's house. I spent almost the entire weekend working on it. Paper piecing isn't my favorite type of piecing, but doing it in the presence of friends actually made it quite fun!
