Sunshine and Rainbows...

... as in it's not always. And when it's not, I keep making time to sew. Maybe that's why it seems like I spend more of my time in the studio than anywhere else lately.

Last week-end I whipped up some rainbows of my own. I dove into my stash with a vengeance and made these wonky log cabin blocks. Improvisational piecing just makes me happy!

This week-end, I got to quilting. Whenever I see a cool quilt motif, I pin it to a separate board on Pinterest (oh, so addicted). When I need inspiration to do something new, off I go to trawl through my pics.

I used the width of my presser foot, and a trusty Pfaff attachment (I don't know what it's called!), to guide my straight lines.  I had all the quilting done in one direction and almost stopped. It just looked so good! But thankfully, I fought the urge... here's how it ended up. 

Love, love, love! It's WAY more quilting than I normally do, but I don't know that I've been this happy with a project in a while!

I made a few other little gems this week-end, but technical difficulties are keeping me from sharing! Guess you'll have to see 'em another day! Stay tuned, loyal blog followers!

Here's hopin' you fit some stitchin' in this week!
