Sewing Fun

I tested a great pattern for Aylin-Nilya called Diamond in Diamond:

It is a 25" square and I plan on hand quilting it for a wall hanging.

You can find where to purchase the very versatile pattern at the above link to her blog. The embroidery is a free design from Nana Company.

I worked on some Scrappy Trip blocks at retreat this weekend and will be doing a little demo at our Modern quilt guild this week:

I started working on a Home Town Pouch pattern by Yoko Saito sample for Quilt Market:

I didn't finish at retreat because I didn't bring hand quilting supplies. The finished size is 4 3/4" X 6 1/4".

I also started putting the rows together on my Briar Rose apple cores:

Someone mentioned they looked giant and they had never seen such big apple core pieces - these are 6 1/4" cut with the Accuquilt Go! Baby.

So many good things in the works :) That diamond in a diamond is very unique...the embroidery you used is perfect for the middle.

How fun to put all of the Briar Rose together into one quilt. I've used most of mine for little girl sewing!

Great projects! I love the one with all those squares and it' great to see the apple cores. I have one and need to make time to try it.

Fun to see all your projects. Does your mind spin going from the brights of your apple-core quilt top to the beautiful taupes of the Home Town Pouch pattern? I'm thinking you are never bored!
