Headboard Tutorial

This looks like a fun project to try. The creator said she built this headboard for under $30 using old kitchen cupboard doors! This is amazing! Now I just need to find some doors.

I tried the free motion quilting!

Michelle posted a tutorial on free motion machine quilting a while ago. I decided to give it a try. It is so much fun, and quite fast. Perhaps it was fast because I did my free forms larger than the tutorial instructed. My blocks are 6 inch squares. I did a couple practice pieces, then decided to give it a go. Once you have a little practice, the motion becomes easier.

I made a couple baby size quilts for humanitarian, and then this one was a gift. It isn't flawless, but I really like the results. It took me about 3 hours to piece and freehand and bind. It was much fun! The tutorial said that a regular sewing machine can only handle up to a crib size quilt. I completely agree; It was a bit of a wrestling match. I'm ready to try another!

Wall Art

I want to make two of these in the kids' room so bad. I think that it would be fun for them to pick out the fabric themselves and then hang them on their walls by their beds. It is so easy too!! I love it. It would be fun to do one for every season and put up somewhere as well. Maybe I could make a huge one for the kitchen wall above the table...hmm, I will think on that one. The tutorial is over at Blue Cricket.
