Quilting | Sagittarius Strings

Do you remember this guy?  It has been growing up! I have been adding to it! I had a whole stack and I did not know what I was going to do with them... :(         I had Quilters Block... haha, 

Until Simbi! have you guys heard of Simbi? 

It is a community where you can trade services and goods with other people. You can trade for Simbi credits that you can use to get other services. Neat right?! 

Check out Simbi! 

I love sharing my work with other people but I have always been uncomfortable selling it for cash. Trading for a service or product is more valuable to me than money.  

The Tale of the Sagittarius Strings: 

A girl on Simbi was looking for a blanket for her twin bed and I thought of the stack of strings waiting to be quilted up. I can do that! I love making blankets! so I started sewing all of those stripy blocks together.  

I looked up her profile on Simbi to see what types of things she likes and I found out that her favorite color is RAINBOW!!!!  

I was just thinking of making a rainbow blanket the other day! I didn't have a use for one so I put it out of my mind. I now have my chance to make something that someone needs and appreciates. 

Eliora is also a Sagittarius and I am hoping to use it in the design somewhere. (I love zodiac themed design) I hope you like it so far Eliora :) 

Until next time - Stay bartering my friends

Quilting | Your Grandmothers Quilt

I finished your grandmother's quilt! I cut it up, I  added pieces of me; clothing of my dear friends and myself. 

I added borders, and I added a worn yellow flannel backing, fluffy filling and a scrappy binding. This quilt is home. 

It makes me feel like a little girl, It makes me smile, and it makes me proud. This sweet quilt is lovely, it was sewn with love.

Stay lovely my friends and follow my blog.

Crochet | Spring Rebel

I feel that rules and patterns are meant to be broken. I can't help it; I used to be a real rebel, now I quilt, stir the pot, make waves, and like to think I push the boundaries of status quo. As artists, we are all probably seeking this to some degree.

This blanket is what I have been working on among the fabric projects on the go. It is meant to brighten up my spring.  I used a shell stitch and no pattern for the stripes!!! GASP! YOU REBEL!!

These two are going to be dragon scale mitts for my soon to be sister in law. I searched forever trying to get a pattern without paying for one, and I finally figured it out! I looked up the crocodile stitch and went for it!

The flexibility of crochet is one of the main reasons why I enjoy it so much. If I get stuck in rules and boundaries, I get bored, and maybe a bit rebellious.

Linking with Finished or not Friday
because I am definitely
not finished being a rebel!

Enjoy the spring my friends and stay a bit rebellious
