Quilting Again

Finally had the time to do some quilting again - hooray! 

This spring and summer left little time to submerge myself in quilting - but that's what I did tonight, and will do much of the day tomorrow.  It helps that I need to complete these soon-to-be pot holders on a deadline.  This is the Moda fabric designed for the Wisconsin Shop Hop that took place earlier this summer.

All four pot holders will be donated to fundraiser baskets for a professional organization.  The top two will go into a Minnesota-themed gift basket, the bottom two in a Wisconsin-themed basket.  I figure Minnesotans love their deer, lakes and loons as much as any Wisconsinite, right? 

Just don't tell Moda!  :)

Inspiration - Wisconsin Style

I got this Moda Wisconsin fabric in the mail today. It features our state flower, tree, coin, fish, light houses, lakes, trails and wildlife.  It can also be purchased with a caramel border. 

I got it from Antoinette's Quilt Shop (www.antoinettesquiltshop.com).

I'll be making pot holders for raffle baskets - one basket to represent Wisconsin and one to represent Minnesota.  The loon on a lake would be very fitting for our neighbors in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.  However, I can't start on this project until I finish the jeans quilt that has been on hold for just about forever.

Upon receiving the Wisconsin fabric, I got this quilt basted in short order.  I just needed the proper motivator!  Since I took this picture, I've tied off 2 1/2 rows.  I hope to do 1-2 rows a night - until all 12 rows are finished.  Then I can bind it and give it to the graduate when he comes to town for school next month.

Ah - progress feels good! :)
