It was daughter dear's birthday this last weekend, and I thought she would enjoy some 'handmade' gift-wrapping. So I started with a project I saw on Pinterest - Fabric Twine by My Poppet.
Not having the pleasure of attending Quilt Market last weekend, I must say I enjoyed watching from the sidelines on facebook and Instagram + reading folks' posts telling of their experience. And yes, seeing all the new collections is pretty exciting. Of course there had been alot of hype about the new Cotton + Steel, and it certainly doesn't sound unwarranted!
Not saying that's all I'm looking forward to, but some of many!
Also, I got word last week that my ástərisk quilt was accepted for inclusion in the special exhibit Modern Metallic 2014 at Quilt!Knit!Stitch! in Portland OR this August. So that's pretty exciting! Definitely worth the rush to get it done!
Lastly, something you probably won't find me doing any time soon, but I thought they were SO darling! Hexistars from Nellie's Niceties. I thought some of you EPP types might enjoy them!
That's it for now! Hope you all are having a good week and enjoying the Blogger's Quilt Festival!
Love this fabric twine. I saw it in real at the Weekend made by a quilt friend and thought, I have to do this too...

ReplyDeletewhat fun and useful randomness. Thanks for the epp link, I might give it a try soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for featuring my EPP project :)
ReplyDeleteI have made so many of Jeni's bags--from the very largest down to fairly small. They ALWAYS turn out great! Your twine is really cute--I bet your daughter really loves it. And I SO wish I could attend the show in Portland in August!
ReplyDeletethose stars are insane! But tempting... I love EPP. The twisted fabric rope is awesome.

ReplyDeleteYour gift wrapping is just so pretty and neat! I know she loved it! Congrats on your quilt's acceptance into the show, that will be fun!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your entry on the show!!! And the EPP is beautiful - I am sure going to try it as I really enjoy working with English paper piecing.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks gorgeous as usual. That fabric twine is wonderful! I am generally a really careless gift wrapper and that is something that I need to work on.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie! I always feel bad throwing those skinny strips out but now I'm going to make twine! Love your fabric choices in the pics!
ReplyDeleteThat twine looks fantastic on a gift!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your quilt!! It's really a dishy number, and so glad they recognized how cool it was and will be putting it in their show. Bravo!
