Musical Aspirations Quilt

New Quilt finished!

This is the first quilt listed in my Etsy store and I couldn't be more excited!
The colors are a buttery gold, a grass or moss green, and ivory.  I find the overall effect soothing but also hinting at the brightness of Spring.  As such, I could not resist taking a picture of the quilt outside.  I spent a very enjoyable afternoon basking in the warmer weather and loving that I am no longer stuck in an office on such a day.

I don't know who will wind up with this quilt... will it be a baby shower gift for a musical couple welcoming their first child?  Will it find itself draped over the back of a couch ready for a couple to cuddle under it as they listen to Fur Elise?

.. I'll let you know if I ever find out :)  In the meantime I hope you all are as eager for Spring as I am.

Possibilities.  Dream. Spring.

*** update ***  This quilt has gotten more hits on ETSY then anything else I have!  I'd love if you left a comment about why you like it and maybe i'll try to duplicate whatever it is on my next project :)  After-all, there is always room to grow!

Morse Code Quilt for my nerdtastic guy

For the small percentage of you who didn't know my husband was nerdtastic, and by extension thus so am I, here is proof.  My valentines day present for him.  I crazy quilted the center panel in his favorite colors. and then appliquéd all the 'dots' and 'dashes' needed to give him a little message regarding my feelings for him.  And yes, I used hearts to mark the difference between words, cause well it  was for Valentines day and I was feeling all fuzzy inside.

I used variegated blue thread to appliquéd around the white,
this adds to the homey look I was going for.

 

The pictures don't really do it justice in my oh so humble opinion.  As in person the hanging has almost a vintage or well worn and loved feeling to it.  You know like him and I :)


Here it is displayed in his home office surrounded by the books he loves.
