Sapheyerblu Review

Archive for April, 2010

I’ve been promising to show off some of my quilt “thingies”, but never seem to do so.  This is because I’m so worried that someone out there who knows WAY more about quilting than I do will come by and say, “Hey, that sucks”.  It would kill me and I’d probably never quilt again.  Yes, I’m speaking from experience (not quilts).  Anyway, here are a few of the things I’ve been working on.

First of all, I found a cute quilt block pattern that was supposed to be used as an edge.  I liked it very much, and gave it my own twist.  I call it Love Links.  Here’s the first one I ever did.

I totally dig the colors I used in this one.  The problem was that I had no idea what I was going to do with it once I finished.  It just kind of sat there staring at me, going “Don’t ignore me.  I thought you loved me”.  Then I got an idea to turn this into a purse pattern.  I had a cool idea and did what I could to put it together.  Here’s the finished product.

Though it didn’t turn out exactly as I’d planned, I’m pretty happy with it.  I’m going to use it for my daughter’s Easter Basket.  She’s 16, and loves the little purse/bag thing.  I told her she could have it, but not till after Easter.  LOL.  She knows she’s getting it for Easter, so this post isn’t going to give anything away.  Besides, she never reads my posts anyway.  I’m just mom, I never do anything cool.

Anyway, there’s a couple of the things I’ve been working on.  I have a whole crap-load of other things, but not nearly enough room here.  Let me know what you think, but please be kind.  I don’t take rejection well at all.  LOLOLOL!!!
