If you're familiar with my work, you'd know that blue is my favorite color. I love every shade - from navy to aqua! So when Jessica Levitt asked me to make some samples for Fall Market with her new line Cascade, I was super excited! Plus, I was already a fan of her work - Timber & Kingdom are great lines too.
So check it out.... There are 2 color ways. Of course, I love the blues, but I'm also loving the other colors she added. I think I might need some serious yardage of Splash in Fog ( the 3rd one from the top!) I can see myself using it in a ton of upcoming projects.
Are you ready to see what I made?!?!
This is my Travel Purse. It's a pattern that I have been working off and on for the past year. My inspiration for this purse was my mother's Louis Vuitton purse. She's had this purse as long as I can remember. Ever since I was little. I wanted to make it the same shape but also make it fully functional by adding pockets on the sides. I also made the straps long enough so that it can be placed on your shoulder. The entire bag is all patchwork - 2" squares, quilted and fully lined. This one I made for Jessica is definitely the best one yet! I'm happy to say that the pattern will available for sale early next year.
I also made Jessica a little selvage pouch. Where else is she going to put her make up?!?! It matches her bag and it has her name all over it = so no one can steal it! ;)
Last but not least, here's a pillow I made. The pattern is one that I created called "Waves". I couldn't resist making "Waves" with Cascade. I had to play on the whole water theme.... It's made mostly of strips and is a great scrapbusting pattern. I made this pillow last because I knew there would be many usable pieces from the other projects.
It was quilted with what I call 'lazy diamonds' = Staight lines + Diagonal lines = diamonds on a slant. It looks like they're lying down, hence the name 'lazy diamonds'. This pattern will be available for sale as a quilt pattern in Spring 2015.

An unlimited amount of time? As long as I also had an unlimited amount of energy, I would make a cathedral windows quilt for our king-sized bed. By hand.
ReplyDeleteI follow you on Instagram, where I am wordygirl11.
If I had an unlimited amount of time today (like before my guild meeting tonight), I would finish all of block of the month stars. Then I would bind my show and share quilt. After that I would make my bingo cards so I can join in the games tonight. With my remaining unlimited time (ha), I would work on some WIPs and brainstorm a quilt for my baby girl (coming in December) .
ReplyDeleteAn unlimited amount of time - wouldn't that be wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI'd hand quilt my current plus quilt but I need it finished by next week!

ReplyDeleteJenn, I'm now following by email. I'm so inspired by your posts already. Loving the selvage purse. You're right who could steal that w/Jessica's name all over it ha ha.

Jenn with unlimited time I would finally make a queen or king size quilt for MY bed. Or convert it to hang on a large wall that is totally baren. I love making bags and pouches too so that's one way to be kind to others is make 'em a little something to carry their stuff . Paying forward just feels so good, everyday.

If I had unlimited time, I would be quilting everyday! I am new to this and I love it . I have not ventured into making anything other than quilts so far, your travel bag is really nice ! I follow you on everywhere now and also by email ! thanks !
ReplyDeleteI am a follower! Hmm, I've been intrigued by those Millifiori quilts. I wonder how long it really takes to make one of those.
ReplyDeleteI have four quilts in progress. I think I would finish them all (and then promptly start four more!)
ReplyDeleteI would make a huge King bed coverlet. I keep putting off working on something so big because the quilting part scares me.
ReplyDeleteI would make a king sized quilt if I have an unlimited amount of time!

Great job on these projects, I saw them in person at quilt market. I especially am after the pattern for your Louis Vutton impersonation tote! I can't find it anywhere. Is it coming out soon?
