Blogger's Quilt Festival

AmysCreativeSide

 
Hello and welcome to my blog.
If you are a regular, you get the joy (haha) at looking at this quilt a second time. :)
I have been quilting for just over a year and I absolutely love it.
  Since, I began quilting I just adored the hand-appliqued and quilted beauties that I spied around. 
I dreamed  of making my own. 
This summer, I spent it working on this.
 

I finished up this quilt in about 8 weeks.
The hexagons are all hand-pieced together and then
hand appliqued onto the backing.
  
 
I wanted a modern approach to a traditional design.


 
I decided to then hand quilt it together with the same echoing
hexagons throughout the quilt.
I used Aurifil 12 wt. thread throughout. 
It was quilted with 5 different colors.
 
 
 
 


I hope you enjoyed your little stop during the Blogger's Quilt Festival!

Autumn Applique Blog Hop

Welcome to Day Three of the

Hop Along

and a big thanks to Bea for organizing it
and a big thanks to Electric Quilt for a fabulous giveaway!
It is no surprise that I love to play
with my EQ7 software.
I have worked up several quilting projects on it.
 


For my Fall sample, I used all the shapes on the
left side bar.  First, I started with a circle,
I flattened it out a bit.
 

 
 
Added a few half moons to each side of the circle


 
Made a rectangle and then used the edit tool to make a stem


 
Added a couple leaf shapes


 
Colored the pumpkin, you could use this as a pillow or 



If you like Halloween, you can add a cute little face on it with a couple triangles and
a rectangle that I played with a bit for the mouth.
 


 
It is super easy to work up a wall hanging.
 

 
Or a table runner.  


Just think,
You won't have to buy any more patterns...
You will be able to make your own.
