My second quilt, this was for a baby boy, but it was the same design. I did much better this time.
Jumping straight in from baby quilts that are very beginner right to the DWR (Double Wedding Ring) quilt for one of my best friend's wedding. I was under a 3 week timline, so needless to say, I hauled ass making this one.
Before this quilt, I had never used a rotary cutter, so I decided to go ahead and splurge for this quilt. Thank goodness too because I think there was around 500 pieces!!
Here's my next: A T-Shirt quilt I helped my sister-in-law make for our family.
After finishing this quilt Ryan (my DH) and I spent a few days with my parents for Christmas and I received this WONDERFUL AMAZING gift from my parents:
Wait for it.....YES! A brand new, fantastic sewing machine... and an awesome one at that! My old one was a Singer I bought from a pawn shop for $30 and ran into the GROUND!
I decided to step things up a bit with the new sewing machine and make small investments to hopefully pay off in better quilts. My next project was to be a quilt for my mother's 50th birthday party.
(I look super rough in this picture, good thing you can't see my face)
I spent about $50 total and got myself a few crucial tools:
1. New sewing gloves (for gripping the quilt sandwich)
2. A custom built sewing table (made by yours truly)
3. A darning foot.
(First time trying some embroidery)
She loved it!!
More to come soon!!
