Sandy is Lincoln’s sitter. She has been with us even before Lincoln so she has been a family friend for a very long time. Recently she was admiring a specialty quilt that I made for another friend and I told her I would make one for her that featured something she loved. Did I mention that Sandy is an amazing photograper? Well, she is. So I wanted to make her quilt with a camera theme. I asked her to send me some photographs she had taken….some of her favorites. Having received them I started laying out a design that would include a camera and film and this is what I came up with. The camera and film roll are applique. The black and white film is pieced fabric made to look like film. I printed Sandy’s photos on EQ8 Satin Printable Fabric Sheets. The border fabric with cameras I got through Joann’s. This quilt took way more time in planning than I anticipated but I was happy with the results. And I think Sandy liked it!

Lincoln wasn’t happy that I didn’t let him jump up on this quilt for the photo so he jumped up in the window seat and stuck his tongue out at me. LOL! I love this jelly roll quilt. I have been trying to alter some jelly roll patterns to make them into Quilt as You Go patterns and have done several over the last month but this is by far my favorite. I love a scrappy look in a quilt and I just adore this group of fabrics. I used “Flea Market by Lori Holt” for Riley Blake Designs jelly roll. It is just perfect for this quilt. We have an upcoming Jelly Roll class at The Studio with two seats left. Check it out here if you are interested in learning what to do with those amazing jelly rolls.

I finished up the Layer Cake Custard Quilt when I got back from the retreat. I found the pattern at The Fat Quarter Shop and used Adventure by Elizabeth Hartman for Robert Kaufman Fabrics, a layer cake that I had in my stash as well as a batik backing I had been holding on to for just the right project. It’s a Quilt as You Go project.

There is just something about the Wonky Windmill pattern that I love. And as usual I pulled a bunch of different fabrics from the scrap box. (I have got to get rid of some of this scrap fabric!) I am happy with the way it turned out and it was really fun to make.
