So, I've been MIA for a bit. Life is pretty busy these days. I just moved out of my Brooklyn apartment and am currently storing my stuff at my generous parent's home. Today I'm flying off on an Eastern European adventure for the next 2 months. I'm taking this transition time and my meager savings and aiming for a life changing experience! We'll see how it goes. Needless to say, I haven't been spending too much time at the machine lately. There are a couple of things I can share though.
Several months ago I pattern tested the Star Jump Quilt for Jess of
Elven Garden Quilts. It was my first pattern testing experience, and I really enjoyed it. I liked the pattern, was exposed to some different construction methods from my typical ones, and ended up with a gorgeous baby quilt top!

I was working on Christina's RTQ section at the time, and really fell in love with the vintage palate. I chose these great fabrics and used some Carolyn Friedlander Doe for the background. I love how it came out and can't wait until I have time to get back to sewing!
The other project I completed last month were my bitty blocks! They were cute little baskets. Sort of annoying to sew from time to time, but totally worth it!

Some more traditional fabric choices. |

Well, that's all I've got. I'll be back in a while, I hope. I enjoy blogging and the feedback I get, and being able to share my creations with people who appreciate them. Bye bye for now!
