I have two quilts in the works so what's one more, right? I posted 6 weeks ago about joining a Quilt Along for a postage stamp quilt but the fabrics I chose just weren't right for me. So, I put it off until I could make up my mind. I was going to use the Maison de Garance fabrics.
But I really wanted to go with something brighter and more modern. Modern quilting is really what I'm drawn to, even though I've been working on more traditional quilts lately.
I had been eyeing the new Kate Spain line for Moda, Central Park, for a few weeks and finally decided to use it for the Postage Stamp Quilt.
The fabrics are very modern and very graphic and I love the idea of combining them with a very traditional style of quilt.
I've gotten some questions lately about how I find the time to quilt and scrapbook. And it's the same answer I've been giving for the past 6 years. You make time for what you love. I love photography, editing photos and quilting so that's what I spend my time on. I only watch three TV shows/week so I tend to scrapbook in the evenings instead of watching TV or even while the TV is on and others are watching it. I scrap on my laptop so it's a no-brainer activity for my evenings on the couch. And, as for quilting, I run into my sewing room maybe once or twice a day for about 30 minutes a time. Once a week, I might spend an hour in there at a time, but that's about it. But it all adds up.
