It was a busy week, but it was a good quilting weekend :) I finished quilting Whispering Lake. I just need to add the binding now. I was hoping to have it finished by this weekend but that goal was pushed back when my work week turned into a busy one. So here are some pictures of Whispering Lake:
I really love how this one is coming together. I just love it! I'm going to use this fabric for the binding. It's called Ellie's Emporium by Sue Penn for Fine Lines. It's a bit bold but so is this quilt. So I figured this would work out perfectly for the binding and I'll still have about half a meter left. I want to use this in a baby quilt sometime.
So it was a pretty great weekend. I'm going to attempt to do a little side project. I would like to make this Travel Wallet in the next week or so. I'll probably change mine up a bit since I would rather have a zippered pocket to put my passport in. I'm hoping that it will turn out alright to be able to give this to a really good friend who is traveling to Paris at the end of the month.
Have you ever made a Travel Wallet/Passport Holder? Were you happy with the result?
Quilting is a new born again hobby of mine. I started a quilt over 7 years ago and then became too busy to finish it. I was reintroduced back into quilting and jumped in with both feet. My grandmother was the first quilter in my life and I still have quilts she made. I love how fabrics can just come together and create something new. This blog shows this side of my life. I answer every comment by email and/or by reply on here. Hope you enjoy my blog. Happy Quilting :)
Whispering Lake is coming along nicely... you'll have to show us some close up shots of your quilting one of these days! :) And I've pinned that travel wallet... I made one a while back but it was nowhere near as fancy as that one! It's functional though and small enough not to be cumbersome when traveling.
ReplyDeleteLooks great. You're almost done! I have never made a travel wallet, but I think Jeanette has if you're looking for suggestions.
