A mix of Amy Butler prints, a couple of Japanese fabrics from Superbuzzy, and some calicoes from Joanne's. Oh, and part of a Ralph Lauren pillowcase.
Crocheted and felted slippers, dyed with red wine....yup, that's what I did, dyed them with red wine. Sometimes my creativity goes too far, and this time...well....the red wine had gone sour anyway, so I just had to try it! And I think the color is beautiful :O)
The iron-on patch is from Superbuzzy.

I am very excited to announce our first ever Handmade Parade Vintage Pillowcase Challenge! Begining January 15th through February 15th we will be accepting submissions for items made with a standard size (not king) vintage pillowcase. The prize for the best entry will be awarded a $50 gift certificate to Sew, Mama, Sew, Reprodepot or Superbuzzy and will be featured on this blog.
Each entry will be judged by a panel of amazingly talented judges (the list of whom will be posted as we get closer to the 15th) who will be looking for the most creative and fabulous entry.
Rules (Blah Blah Blah)
1. Submissions must be received no later than February 15th and no earlier than January 15th.
2. You can only use one standard sized pillowcase (not king) and it should be a vintage piece.
3. Please email your entries to handmade_parade@yahoo.com
Thanks! I hope everyone is really excited about this and I cannot wait to see what everyone makes!
It was so sunny and pleasant out yesterday that Dylan offered to haul some of the ol' quilts out for a photo shoot. (Thank you as always, Dylan!) There's an old train station and adjacent barn building that had been neglected for years, but they've renovated the barn in recent months, and it seems like it's a public community space now. I guess I should have taken some actual photos of it!
Anyway, here are a few long-delayed shots of the thrift blocks quilt I finished a few months back! I decided on the border after seeing something similar in a Kaffe Fassett book. You might notice that the border is made up of scraps as well as triangles of an olive/multi-coloured print: that's the Marie Jacobi Berlin metro print that I love oh so much. There are, like, 15+ colours in the print! Plus it's just full of character, and it's nice to see a map print that isn't about Paris;) I ordered a ton of it -- basically all that was left -- from Superbuzzy last year, knowing all along that I wanted to back the quilt with it.
I also spent a long time thinking about the binding, but ultimately I went with Joel Dewberry's Aviary woodgrain, which was gifted to me by my friend Paul last year. Paul had gifted one FQ of the brown print to me (it was an FQ bundle), so I thought I just needed one additional FQ to get the job done. Of course, that additional FQ still had me coming up short, because I never measure when I should:P So a little bit of the border is in the yellow woodgrain. I think brown would have been better, but I felt like I had to teach myself a lesson for not buying the right amount:P
Anyway, thank you again for carrying my quilts around, Dylan. Maybe someday I'll be able to let some go and sell them off!
finally stitched this cutie up so i can start working on my scattered hexie quilt!

When I was finishing up my Habitat quilt, I got to thinking about how I've never made a quilt for my dad before. I think maybe one reason I never have is because he's completely disinterested in things visual or decorative (he jokes about being colour-blind, for instance).
But he's a serious computer geek (PC all the way, for him), and when faced with the challenge of designing a quilt for him, I think that piecing a computer desktop was my only option (uh, yes, that's what it is!). I sketched out the icons and bottom bar in InDesign and started cutting.
The top came together really quickly, although when it came time to join the blue part with the grey bar, the right-hand side looked way too empty. So that's what the "Hi" is doing there! Must've been the influence of the Oh, Fransson! Billboard Quilt-Along.
I really enjoyed using some of my most beloved fabrics for fussy-cutting the icons, and I also really enjoyed ordering some Suzuko Koseki yardage from Superbuzzy for the back:) He probably won't give it a second thought, but they're prints that remind me especially of my dad. For the binding, I picked two prints that seemed especially computer-ish to me: the little grey rectangle print from Denyse Schmidt's Katie Jump Rope and the black stippling print from Greenfield Hill. Oh, and the dense straight-line quilting took AGES! Never again, I say:)
Work basket with a combination of fabrics that I love.
The inspiration for this basket came from a picture on the cover of this issue of Cotton Time (the little basket at bottom left corner) and this fabric basket from the Crafter's Companion book.
Dimensions: 11 inches tall, 10 inches diameter.
Sides and bottom fortified by Timtex.

This fun paper pieced block was made with Ayumi's August block for Superbuzzy: Dishy Treats, available here:

If you hover over the photo, you'll see the flavors of the ice cream :) Will try to take a better photo tomorrow when there's cloud cover. Had to take this in the shade due to bright sunlight.
