Vintage Cross Quilt

 My best friend is getting married this summer and this is the wedding quilt I made for her. I used kona solids and a variety of vintage sheets.

      Cross stitch of their wedding date

Mini Hexagons

This is one of those "I feel suddenly inspired to finish off some old projects!" These hexagon pieces have been lying in my workbasket longer than I'd like to admit. Now they are quilted, binded and ready to be used.

 This one is using smaller hexagons, which makes it more time consuming, but I think the end result is lovely. This one is definitely staying with me.

I used a mixture of vintage scraps and quilting fabric leftovers for the hexagons and binding.

Vintage Hexagon Quilt

 

    I love hexagon quilts. I've always admired the vintage quilts I've found when browsing through  antiques stores. I decided to make my own version using vintage sheets and larger hexagon template.            

     Paper-piecing and hand sewing this quilt is going to be years in the making, especially since I want to make it queen size.    

            I love working on this and seeing the bright colors come together

Mail Art

I love sending and receiving mail

Collaging envelopes is one of my favorite ways to make mail art. I use vintage paper, stamps and odds and ends of paper that I find in my travels 

I figure if you are going to take the trouble of sending mail why not make it pretty?
