It’s Alive…

…well at least a project that continues to grow. Last week, I had to fly to Las Vegas for a 3 hour meeting. It meant that I had at least 14 hours on a plane/in an airport….

and to keep me company my travel project….yes, it was my hexie quilt. Some details/reminders on this WiP:

  • It has been just over 1 year of sewing these hexies together.
  • I only really work on it at bees and traveling.
  • All the prints are unique (except for one or two where I accidentally reused).
  • It shows a great history of prints I have used for other projects as I always try to use the scraps
  • I am aiming for a lap quilt (~60″) and right now at the widest its 42″

Sunday Stash #22: Elements and Metallics

11 Replies

I am so excited today as I get to share with you some of the samples of my new prints. I created a collection called Elements, which features a text-based print of the periodic table and a print of the atomic representation of elements. I know super science geeky!!!

The text-based prints are Cobalt, Copper, Gold, Phosphorous Red, Carbon, Iron, Silver, Oxygen, Calcium (left to right). There is one missing in the photo below Sulphur which is a yellow text on white.

For the atomic element prints, each of the elements are shown as their correct atomic representation. From left to right; Carbon, Iron, Silver, Phosphorous, Copper, Gold.

I already have a quilt in mind using this block design I showed a while ago:
SquareSofa_Block

With this in mind, I hunted for some metallics to work with my prints and was pleasantly surprised at how in vogue they are at the moment.

I love the very neutral and earthy feel this fabric provides. I like the change. That’s it for this week. You can check out my fabric designs at spoon flower, here.
