Hi everyone, I am so happy to be here, I haven't known about Kim's quilts until recently. As you can appreciate, I fell in love! I decided to start by making Stars and Sprigs, and I am waiting for Pandamonium and it's accompanying fabric pack any day now. I haven't taken pics of my progress yet, (I just moved, bad time for a sewer) but I do have a pic of the fabrics I ordered from Glorious Color (so cheap to buy it from her, but the wait is almost unbearable!)
Aren't they delicious?? I bought half meters for this project, and believe it or not, it was an awesome guess! I have a nice amount left over after cutting all the stars and all the applique, astounding how some things just work well, I have enough to take care of any errors I might make (I hope!) I can't wait to show you pics of my progress, busy time for me at the moment, you know, end of business year. Oh, a little about me, I am 43, married for 21 of them, my son Benny is 20 (Autistic, barely verbal) my gorgeous daughter Caitlyn,19 , pianist and sometime pizza maker, and the little guy, Curtis, 14, aren't the teenage years a joy? I hope this post goes down well, tell me if I said too much LOL, I work alone and I am a people person.
Chat soon, xx Kelli
Wishing you all the best for your project work...

Welcome to the group Kellie! I can't wait to see more either. I like the half yard amounts too, it gives enough for fussy cutting. Thank you for sharing a little bit about yourself and I hope all goes well with the move.
ReplyDeleteLovely Kelli, so glad you've decided to join us! lovely fabrics for your projects, you're going to have so much fun. I'd love to see your progress, please post often. I do love to hear things about you, and everybody else! Kim McLean
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Kelli! You've come to the right place to commune with others who have discovered and fallen in love with Kim's patterns. We love to see what everyone makes.....and it's been a bit quiet lately (I think everyone is sewing or vacationing) so we'd love to see your posts. I'm making Stars and Sprigs too. Good luck settling in after your move.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your progress. Stars and Sprigs is my favorite! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI have just discovered this wonderful applique but am not sure how and where to start. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I am a Grandmother who loves to applique.
ReplyDeleteEEP, so excited to see everyone's reply, I am taking photos tonight for a new update
