Coastal Mist Blog Hop

Posted on January 30, 2017 | 14 comments

Tammy Silvers, from Tamarinis, invited me to participate in the Island Batik Coastal Mist Blog Hop.

This is my first blog hop and I have had a great time! Thank you, Tammy!

*Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post to enter a fun giveaway!

The fabrics that I chose to use from this sea breezy collection are beautiful and vibrant! My photos do not do them justice!

I’ve showcased the fabrics with a table runner.

I used Aurifil 50 wt. for the piecing. Aurifil 50 wt. and WonderFil 80 wt. Deco-Bob were used for the machine quilting.

If you are an EQ7 user, and you would like to have the project file for the Sea Breeze table runner, simply click on my Freebies Tab at the top of the blog. You will find a link that will take you to Dropbox, where you can download the project file for free. No need to have an account with Dropbox.

I also made a cute little fabric basket from the scraps.

Listed are the dates and participants of the Coastal Mist Blog Hop. Have fun!

The plan:

Coming to life:

This will be a bed quilt…I don’t have a good way to photograph it, but you can see that I am making some progress.

I had originally planned on this being a scrappy red and white quilt. But then I won the gorgeous Island Batik fabric (so excited)! Why didn’t I switch some of those half square triangles to flying geese? It would’ve been easier. Alas…I didn’t think to do that until after I cut the fabric.

Nope…not all my seams are lined up. I’m okay with that. Seeking perfectionism doesn’t make me happy. My happiness is in the creative process, and one day, a finished project.

Speaking of slow stitching (you can’t be much slower than me), have you seen Mark Lipinski’s blog featuring the Slow Stitching Movement? I find it quite inspiring. Perhaps you will too!

Now, slowly on to the borders.
