Tag: tula pink

I actually have no idea all that I want to do in the new year, but I do know that I want to finish writing a Pac Man quilt pattern.

 

Hand Piecing: I want to finish this Tula Sunrise quilt; however, I’m not going to do the triangle border. I also did it in batiks because I hoard my Tula Pink fabric. 

After that I’m not sure.

For machine quilting: I do have an Elizabeth Hartman: Awesome Ocean, to finish. I haven’t finished it yet because I ran out of gray and had to wait until last summer so I could buy more while in the US.  I think I’d also like to do this Kinship Pattern and this Elizabeth Hartman: Rapid City.

For hand piecing I would like to begin working on Tula Nova. I have two small pieces done, but took a break to work on the Tula Sunrise with a friend. I want to hang this in my quilting room, so I am using my favorite Tula Pink fabrics. 

For knitting and crochet: I must finish at least 5 scarves and one blanket. I bought this yarn when in Leh, Ladakh. It is from Ganga.

 

Christmas

This year I made one quilt specifically as a Christmas gift and I also gifted four previously made quilts.  

Gift 1

I made this quilt for my son’s girlfriend. I used a variety of blue fabrics that I already owned and some white from my local Chennai quilt shop “The Square Inch“. I chose the “By the Sea” quilt pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Co. It was made for 10″ squares and was quite simple to use.  

Gift 3

I made this cassette mini quilt for my husband using a portion of Lysa Flowers “Cassette” pattern. I had originally planned to do the whole thing, but I ran out of time and the pieces were very small. 

Gift 2

I made this quilt top last Christmas but it didn’t get quilted until after the holiday. I created a sampler using patterns from the pattern book Block Genius.  I titled this quilt, “Raven’s Surprise” because my daughter played with the blocks and when put them back in order I mixed up a few. After sewing it all together I noticed two of the same blocks  next to each other. Instead of taking it all out, I just decided to embrace the mistake. Can you see it?

 

 

Gifts for my sister

A couple years ago I started making blocks from 100 Modern Quilt Blocks from Tula Pink. I chose to make three different quilts.  I started making blocks using batik, some with Tula Pink fabric, and ones using regular quilting fabric. I laid out the blocks differently in all three quilts. For this one, I made a very thin sashing because I didn’t like how it looked without it but I didn’t have much of the sashing fabric and living in India, I was unable to order more. 

 

 

This quilt pattern: “Pretty Birds”, is from Elizabeth Hartman. I loved making it. Elizabeth Hartman makes such fun patterns. I also like how colorful her examples are. 

In between my other quilt projects I was working on “Year of Scrappy Triangles” by Leila Gardunia. This foundation paper piecing was vey fun. I learned a lot.
