12 months -> 12 projects

I said in January that I'd be making coasters for my friend and my cousin, but February has been a very short month, it went by very fast! So I decided to postpone that project.

Instead, this is the project I accomplished:

It will be hanging in Allison's bedroom when we move to Houston about three months from now.

12 months -> 12 projects

JANUARY: a quilt for Allison

It was kind of a challenge for me because that was my first quilt ever! I think it has turned out pretty nice. Although it's not perfect, it's made with love and that's the most important :)

The documentation phase involved reading some blogs of really good quilters! They make such amazing things... The two of them that I liked the most are: Quilting in the rain and Crazy mom quilts.

This are the steps I've followed: 

   1. Cutting the fabric

   2. Assembling the pieces

   3. Putting together the three layers

   4. Machine basting

   5. Sewing the binding (machine and hand stitch). For this step, I followed this tutorial.

Really happy with the result, I can't deny it. Challenge overcome!

Next month: I'm planning to make some coasters for one of my cousins and for a friend. They have recently moved to a new place and I noticed they didn't have them. Hehe! Documentation phase starts NOW!

12 months -> 12 projects

Yesterday I worked on my project: a quilt for Allison. I have already all of the pieces for the back and front and the next step will be sewing. I'm so excited that I'm going to finish it on time!

I'm also working on a little softie for Sew Yellow. It's a car and it just needs some sewing too. I'll do it all at once. Whenever it's available on the shop, I'll let you know. 

Have a nice week!
