The Goth Quilt

I delivered the Goth quilt to the girl at work that hired me to do a lap quilt for her. She was in love at first sight. She was so excited and loved the hand quilted spider web I did too. This quilt was a lot of fun to do and the first time I had ever done a quilt as you go project. I loved it. I know it won't work for everything I do, as my favorite is the Lonestar quilt, but it is certainly a fabulous way to bust out your scrap pile. I plan to do many more of these, but not likely with a Gothic theme.
The start. Not quit center. One thing she loves and gave me to use, was an old corsett. Se I sewed the ends (back) on top of a piece of red. This will be laced up later with black ribbon. Then I began adding pieces around it. I used many different pieces of black lace she provided, which I lined with a fabric that would make the lace stand out.

Yes she loves spider webs, so there were a lot of fabrics with webs.

The finished quilt.

The black spider web hand quilted on a section of red.

The corset all laced up.

Buttons, rick rack, lace and ribbons added for fun and texture.
This project was fun!

Exciting Day

Today I sold my Hummingbird pillow that I had made of upcycled fabric from work. It was a beautifull pillow, just didn't match my house. Then the same gal commissioned me to make a lap quilt for her. This one shall be interesting as she is really into Gothic and Spider Webs. The quilt will be a crazy scrap quilt with that theme in mind. She will provide the supplies, but it sounds like deep purples, back, silver and such will be the colors. This one be interesting, but I think really fun to do. I'll post pics when I finish.

I've also completed the start and two of the framed train pictures on my sons "Patriotic Train" quilt. It's coming along quit nicely. I've got the next five days off work, so I plan to do a lot of work on his quilt and post pictures soon.

I can't even concintrate at work today. I can't wait to get home and do some more sewing!!!!
