quilt monday
My cousin had a pretty big birthday this year. I didn't have to think long about making her a quilt. Especially when I saw this quilt by Elizabeth Hartman
Sleepy Sloths
How cute are they??
I love the panto I used, GroundCover.
The sloth bodies are actually linen.
I've never used it in a quilt before and love how it turned out.
It gives the sloths more of a realistic texture.
And that pop of olive fabric?
Love.
I've already had 2 requests for repeats of this.
But first, I might have to make myself one :)
Happy Monday!

When I first saw the True North fabric line, I knew I needed it.
I knew it would be perfect for inside our trailer and I had to have it.
We've been camping the past two weeks. I planned on getting a few artistic quilt pics taken. It was fun finding places that I felt would work for what I had in mind.
I used one of my favourite fat quarter patterns from the book Happy Hour quilts(if you don't have it, I highly reccomend it. I wore one copy out).
I also did something with this quilt that I rarely ever do, I washed it once I finished it.
With this being a Canada quilt,
the only appropriate quilting pattern was Maple Syrup.
Crinkled happiness.
Now for something funny. We drove down an old road. I had seen the fence from the main road and knew it would be a perfect place for some pictures. The funny part? I was on the side(sort of ) of one of the major highways here in BC, the Coquihalla.
No quilts, or quilters!, were hurt during this photo shoot :)
Happy Monday!
