High Tide Mini Quilt by jenib320

A few more crafty finishes for 2011! I finished up my High Tides mini quilt this week!  I had a lot of fun with this little quilt! It uses fabrics from the Horizon colorway of Morning Tides by Mark Cesarik! I added in a few Kona cottons and Heath by Alexander Henry. I backed it in a fun vintage sheet stripe and finished it off with some Mingle by Monaluna for the binding. It's quilted with a few simple diagonal lines.  It finished at 20" square. I'm really happy with how it turned out, it's so bright and cheerful! Now to find some wall space for it!

I was itching to sew something with these lovely Echino fabrics I received from my Aunt for Christmas! Another drawstring bag seemed like just the thing! This one was made using the project size in my Lined Drawstring Bag Pattern!

Right before we left I made myself a new camera strap cover. It was time for something new! I use this tutorial!

We finally got a bit of snow, although it hasn't lasted long. Still looked pretty though!

  1. I know of two someones, specifically my BFF or my daughter, who would love that quilt. They both adore purple.

    Enjoy the fondue. I grew up having it every year for my birthday dinner but have't gotten back into it yet. Perhaps a trip to the Melting Pot with some friends is in order this coming year.

  5. Tell me what you know about Bretzel. No one I have ever talked to has heard about these before. They are a long standing tradition of my husband's family.
