Cabin In The Woods ~ UFO #9 2023

 These simple quilts are my favorite to make.   They come together quickly and with a little added applique they really shine.


They also mix well with other more complicated quilts when displayed.  The larger patchwork gives the eye a place to land. I feel like the quilting design can do the same.  Had I quilted it to death, it would not have the same warm come cuddle with me vibe.


The little trees added a bit of whimsy but not too much.  To me this quilt says "Let's cozy up on the couch with a good book and a cup of something warm".


A very basic quilt label was added to the backing before quilting.



Cabin In The Woods was the test piece for my quilt pattern called Nordic Christmas.  The colors and the applique make it say something a little different.  If she could talk I think she would say "Grab the cookies and Hot Chocolate and we'll binge watch Christmas Movies".


It's hard to believe I've finished up nine UFO's this year.  This will probably the last UFO for the year.  My next project will be new and made from the red fabric in yesterdays blog post.


Until Next time...

I hope you find time to stitch up something sweet!

I Need Some Bright And Happy

 Hello Quilty Friends!  After months of working with not so loved fabrics, it's time to recharge my quilty soul.  Nothing makes this gals heart go pitter pat like a bright and happy quilt.  Oh, I have a ton of ideas for new quilts but I also have a ton of quilt tops needing to be quilted.  So I grabbed the one on the top of the stack.


This one was made back in 2014 and is called Back Door Beauty. It took some digging on my blog to find the start date and quilt details.  If you're looking for a good coffee spewing chuckle this morning, you really should hop over to this link and read my original post about how I acquired this fabric.  


The fabric line used for the applique is a Moda line called Miss Kate by Bonnie and Camille.  The applique is fusible raw edge.   This fairly small quilt barely used half of a layer cake.  Hopefully I can find the rest of the layer cake to use in the binding.


As with most of my UFO quilt tops, this one became a UFO because I couldn't decide on a quilting plan.  Today is no different.  She's loaded and ready to be quilted and I'm drawing a blank.  Sounds like  a good reason to wandering around Pinterest and Google and maybe fall down a rabbit hole or two.


Until next time...

I hope you find time to stitch up something sweet!
