Batik Skirt

Batik skirt with Kona cotton waistband. Not a really good picture - the batiks are much more vibrant than shown here.

Green and brown batik skirt

I made a mistake when I cut this - I just cut the pieces in half, instead of adding room for the seam. So it ended up tight around the hips. It looks ok though.

Autumn Quilt part 3

Taking a break before crawling around on the floor to pin this and then figure out how to bind and quilt it... the batting is fairly thick and I'm not sure I will be able to get it through my machine. But maybe if I just quilt it around the edges....

Autumn Quilt Part 2

Finished the 36 squares and sewed them together into 9 bigger squares. Next, I'll put these together to make the quilt top. Then I need to finish cutting 36 squares to make the back, decide on a binding, and do the quilting.

Autumn quilt part 1

 Starting a new quilt - autumn colors for my associate who's getting married in October. I want this one to be about 6x6 feet, so I'll need 36 of these 13" squares. I haven't decided yet if I'll put a border on them or sew them straight together.

 

Scrap/strip quilt

This is a bigger one, about 3 x 3.5 feet. I had a lot of trouble quilting it - I think I need to pin and/or baste the batting more firmly in place. I had to take some of the quilting seams out and it still ended up kind of... lumpy.
