Miniature tree quilt

My quilt guild has a quilt show coming on January 2025. My Bee decided on a challenge for us: to make miniature quilts for the upcoming show. This will be my entry. I saw many quilts on Pintrest with similar patterns. I designed my own with inspirations from those posts. Unfortunately, I have not found the orignal creator of these trees to give attribution. But they are all so very pretty on Pintrest. My quilt is 17 inches by 13 inches and made from 1.5 inch squares which finishes at 1 inch.

Fabric selections for a miniature quilt

And here we go. This will be a miniature tree quilt using 1 inch squares.

My Bojagi in place

I have bought these beautiful fabrics in Seoul over a few visits. I could never find anyone there to show me how Bojagi was made. I finally found the directions on Youtube and here it is all done for a few seasons now. But it never fails to bring joy to see it. I have made the seams by hand the traditional way. I have started a new project with these fabrics. But there are so many hours in a day.

Table Runner

The designing floor is active today. A new table runner made out of a charming package from a friend's "collection". To be continued...

Trees quilt

I have wanted to make this quilt since I saw it on an issue of the now out of business, Quiltmania magazine. Thanks to some amazing Kafee Fasset's fabrics from a sweet friend "collection", I was able to make the top. Now, ready to quilt. I am so happy! The hand dyed fabrics for the trunks are also from a friend that used to have a business selling hand dyed fabrics. I am so lucky to have some amazing friends. The pattern name is "Painted Forest" by Scott Hansen of the Blue Nickel Studios.

A beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Pick a Petal Quilt

The top is fresh out of my sewing machine. This is a snap shot of a real day in the studio. The quilt top is not even ironed yet. I think I need a little break from it now. I will iron it later and clean the huge amount of threads from the back. It is a pet peeve of mine. The new fabrics are so loose woven that it creates a pile of threads in every cut edge. So not happy with the new industry standard.
