Hi friends, happy 2016 to you all!!!
Is
your new year off to a good start? I hope it is. Ours has been rocky,
not at all what I have imagined, as it included a very serious health
emergency and hospital stay for one of my kids. Life can sometimes seriously stink, don't you think?
And thus sewing time has been pretty hard to come by. I do, however, need to sew and make things on a regular basis to keep my sanity intact, so I found little bits of time here and there to make this super simple baby quilt.
I used a tutorial by Amy Smart. It was such an easy and quick little quilt, and I loved that the pattern was written for 10" squares as I had quite a few of those already cut out and waiting for just the right project.
Plus, I'm quite smitten with all the striking one block quilts that seem to be all the rage these days.
How about you? What have you been up to? Any fun projects in the making?
Wishing you all a super lovely week. Svetlana
Oh my! What a worrying start to your year! It can only get better from here right? Jxo
ReplyDeleteSvetlana, I hope you kiddo is on the mend and home. Isn't it great that getting immersed in a project, even for a few minutes, can give us some breathing space? And what a beautiful result! Here's to a happy and healthy new year for all of you!
ReplyDeleteYikes! Sure hope your child is ok and much better by now! Love the 1 block quilt! So sweet!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous Svetlana. So glad you could find some sanity sewing time. I'm sorry about such a scary start to the year! I hope things have calmed down again. Sending best wishes!
ReplyDeleteAmy
Great quilt. Love the striped binding. Sorry the year hasn't started out so well. Hope all is well now.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, hope everything is ok now and that whatever it was is over now. I love star blocks . This one is a lovely one. Sometimes simple sewing is what's needed to calm the mind. By the way, I'm getting lots of compliments for my Jenna Tote.
ReplyDeleteI hope your child is doing better! I love the combination of scrappy low volume and bright pops of color! I think that will always be my favorite, especially when it is done as well as this. :) Thanks for sharing the tutorial, I may have to make something similar to this.
ReplyDeleteHope your little one is on the mend now. You worry about them at the best of times, I can only imagine when it is something serious!! Hopefully your year will only improve. Ps: cute baby quilt. I totally get sewing for sanity x
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about the emergency hospital visit! Not a good start to the year at all! Hope everyone is on the mend now.
ReplyDeleteI've been working through my UFO pile and just plugging away at some old projects with the aim of getting them finished this year. I do love your little baby quilt! I also have a fascination for one block quilts. So effective!
Svetlana, I'm sorry to hear that one of your kids wasn't well, I kind of read through the lines that they're okay now and hope that that is the case. I hope that the rest of 2016 will be better for you. (and cute quilt but your health is more important!!)
ReplyDeleteI´m sorry about your kid. Hope your child is on the mend. Your little quilt is lovely! I start this year with stars, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling quilt. Your fabric choices always make my heart sing. I, too, hope your child is on the road to recovery. Best wishes to you and your family in this new year.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you can find time to sew and keep your sanity and happiness. I hope your child is getting better and will stay well.
ReplyDeleteStar Baby-The Guess Who-excellent song!

ReplyDeleteI love the quilt. What fabric did you use for your binding?
ReplyDeleteI hope your little Obeid doing better now ... I love the simplicity of this quilt, it's beautiful and a great way to use up the odd 10" layer cake square I have laying around.
ReplyDeleteHope your little one is feeling better by now ~ always hard when they are sick, let alone being in the hospital!
