She is Finished

Posted in Quilting by Zenia Rene

I’ve dubbed her Proud Mary.

If you want a closer look, she will be on display at the Arizona Quilters Guild Quilt Show in Mesa AZ, March 22-24, 2018.

The pattern is called Wicked Weaver by Lillyella Stitchery.

My original plan was to put her on the back side of my Scrappy Webs quilt. But once I started piecing it, I knew she would be too awesome to be on the back of anything.

I thought the striped fabric would make a fabulous, web-like background, and I love the way it turned out. She finished at 23″ x 26″.

Until next time, Happy Stitchin’!

A Bad Mama Jama

Posted in Quilting by Zenia Rene

She’s a bad mama jama, just as fine as she can be!

I shared the small “practice” version a few weeks ago, but today I’m sharing my large size Wicked Weaver block and I am totally stoked!

Without further ado…I used more of the “citron” color to make the weaver pop. And look at that “wicked” web!

Here are the 2 blocks together.

I enjoyed piecing the large so much more than that bitty one.

I originally planned to put the WW on the back of my scrappy Halloween Spiderweb quilt, but I immediately fell in love w/the effect of the bold B&W stripe and knew it wouldn’t do to put this baby on the back of anything!

Here’s my scrappy Halloween Spiderweb flimsy.

Looking forward to finishing both of these beauties!

Thanks for visiting.

A New Fondness

Posted in Quilting by Zenia Rene

Some people, or at the very least my sister, might call this an obsession, but “fondness” is what I’m calling it.

I’ve a new fondness for hand quilting!

I pulled another UFO (un-finished object) out of my WIP (works in progress) closet.

This is the start of an Arkansas Traveler quilt.

I struggled to add the borders to these diamonds using a tutorial and decided to use a paper piecing template going forward. So this block will be a pillow cover. A hand quilted pillow cover.

I started work on it this weekend during a trip to IA to visit my quilter/blogger friend, Greta of Material Detachment. She cut the diamonds for me not quite 3 years ago.

I made lots of progress and am completely pleased w/how it’s s turning out!
