Well today is kind of a special Fresh Sewing Day, as I have a quilt reveal happening over at
Sew Sweetness as part of the
Jaybird Quilts blog hop. So please,
go check out Aurora - my version of Jaybird's Northern Lights pattern. I really did have a blast planning and creating this one. And it was one beautiful day when we took Aurora out for a photo shoot!
As far as other April sewing goes, I had the requisite bee blocks, including
sample blocks for my month with the
Always Bee Learning bee.
And there were just a few smaller projects to round out the month.
I also sewed up more than my share of
zips.
And I finished up another couple of quilts! There was a
Disappearing 9-Patch for my mom, which was great fun to photograph in her garden . . .
Last but not least, I finally got around to posting a tutorial for
angled matched binding, a technique I really enjoyed using again on
Aurora.
So April was one very full month! Bring it on, May!
Linking up with Fresh Sewing Day at Lily's Quilts!
Wow, you did have a really productive month! Hoping over to Sew Sweetness now, you quilt is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow and I thought I got a lot done in April!
ReplyDeleteGood Googlie. Mooglie! Love it all!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! Love the colors on Aurora... and heading over to your tutorial right now!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you didn't take your machine with you on vacation? 😉 Aurora turned out beautifully, and what a picturesque location for your photo shoot.
ReplyDeleteWow - you have been busy! Aurora is striking - great job.
ReplyDeleteOh my, my my! Just hopped over and read all about Aurora. Love her name, and she is a stunner, for sure. And I agree, that angled binding is an absolutely perfect finish.
ReplyDeleteWow! what beautiful quilts :)
ReplyDeleteGreat month Debbie, and with a few BIG finishes too. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteAs always, you are so prolific. What beautiful finishes!
ReplyDeleteAurora is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI think I might need to make one of these, now that I already own the ruler! So how tricky was it to match up all of those zig zags?
As usual Debbie, you have knocked this one out of the park! Fabulous quilt and then that binding......
ReplyDeleteYou had a fantastic month. I love your aurora quilt!
ReplyDeleteAs usual you have been very productive. Great projects!
ReplyDeleteYou've had such a busy month with such beautiful projects! Aurora is stunning. The colors, the quilting, the matched binding...I love everything about it!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented! So many amazing quilts. I particularly love the bright triangles - and of course the northern lights. Just stunning.
