Glamping in the Spin Cycle

I finally finished my Glamping quilt, and knew I wanted to set up a photo shoot for it. Today was an unusually sunny (but windy) day, and turned out to be the perfect time to load up the car with my favorite things, and set up a glamp-site in the woods.

These pictures make me really happy.































This quilt was made using Allison Harris's Spin Cycle pattern and Glamping fabrics. It finishes at 75" x 75".

I hope everyone has a wonderful week! Linking up at Lily's Quilts, Crazy Mom Quilts, and My Quilt Infatuation, and Quilt Story.

The best $25 I've ever spent

About two weeks ago, I dropped off three quilts to Asta, a professional longarm quilter I recently met. She basted two of the quilts (one is getting quilted) for only $25 each! I picked them up yesterday and it is the best money I think I've ever spent! No pinning, no crouching, no back-pain, no cursing or frustrated yelling; all-in-all there was NO STRESS!



I feel like a lottery winner!!



This quilt was made from a pattern called "Spin Cycle" by Cluck Cluck Sew



and I used a fat quarter bundle of Glamping fabric. I don't know if you notice but the curtains hanging up are also from the Glamping collection (note: I'm not a pro at curtain-making). The piecing of the quilt came together pretty easy, it was fun to make, and it finishes at 75" x 75".



Asta basted it using long stitches in a grid pattern every 6 inches or so, and it should be a breeze to take them out as I'm quilting it.



I have no idea what pattern I'm going to use to quilt it, but I can't wait until it's finished! It's the first quilt I've made for myself since I made my very first quilt--and unfortunately, that one isn't big enough to cover me!



This one is big enough for me and maybe even a couple of extra-snuggly little cherubs.
