I wanted to share some of the beautiful creations that fellow fabri-holics have made using my patterns! I absolutely love seeing how different fabric choices can make a pattern look totally different from the original. Thanks to all who submitted these photos! PLEASE keep sending more my way by either posting them on Quilting In The Rain’s Facebook wall, or emailing to me at QuiltingInTheRain at gmail dot com. Your photos inspire me to keep crankin’ out more tutorials 🙂

Patterns/made by: Image 1 (clockwise) – photos 1 & 2 Rainy Days by Jamie, photo 3 Rainy Days by Fran, photo 4 Sunny Santa Monica by Mary.

Thanks again for sharing – and if you’ve made any of my patterns, please share! I absolutely love seeing your creations.

Long time no post! Summer came slow for Seattle this year, but we managed to get a couple weeks of 80 degree weather. My husband and I spent these last few weeks moving our bedroom upstairs and my sewing room downstairs, putting together new Ikea furniture (you know how long that can take), along with a late spring cleaning to make room for the baby! It’s been very busy, and because of the move I’ve been without a crafting room. I had a little crafting setup in my dining room, but I didn’t get around to sewing with all the moving around. Things are slowly coming together though! My next project is to get my new crafting space organized – I don’t know about you, but I can’t craft when things are disheveled and out of place. An organized crafting area gets my creative juices flowing. 🙂

With all this recent hustle and bustle we decided to relax this weekend. Lucky for us, my step-dad happens to own a beautiful boat that we spent the whole day on in Lake Washington with the dogs. The photo above is of my parent’s dog, Keili (pronounced Key-Lie). Keili is modeling a quilt I made for my step-dad. I appliqued “Refugio” on the quilt, which means refuge. Keili is Paige’s arch enemy, though they got along very well on the boat!

And of course, here are my furry babies, Paige and Bodie. Bodie is terrified of the water, hence the life jacket.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by. I hope you all had a great weekend, and found time to relax. Sorry for not posting lately – it’s been a busy last few weeks!

Happy Quilting!
