We are back from vacation, and my sewing machine is back from getting a good cleaning and tune up…yay! I managed to finish quilting the Ellie Fun quiltop, and now it’s on to the binding. I’ve got the binding sewed on to to the front and now am in the beginning stages of hand sewing the binding to the back of the quilt.
I usually like to finish a project before starting a new one, but I was feeling the need to be creative a few nights ago, so I broke out my Merry & Bright layer cake and got started. I’ve got the quilt top done, and last night I finished piecing the back. It’s a gift, so you’ll have to wait until December to see the completed project, but I may give some sneak peaks! ;) I just love this line…so much so that I bought a layer cake for myself to someday turn it into something fabulous, but my quilt will have to wait for another day.
Merry & Bright by Sandy Gervais for Moda
hi! i bought the merry & bright fabric ~a year ago. i thought i could remember the pattern used in the fabric store, but here i am a year later and can’t remember how the quilt looked to save my life! is there any way you might send me a sneak peak picture of what you’re doing with the fabric via my email? help!!! THANKS!!
btw, i just got an APQS longarm quilting machine and LOVE IT!! however, i must admit that i get VERY nervous when i’m trying to quilt for other people. i’m so afraid that they won’t like my work. mainly, i rent the machine out–then if they don’t like it, it’s their own work, not mine that they are unhappy with.
i love your website. i’m working on getting mine up and going–apexquilting.com it’s not up yet, though.
warmly,
linda
Thanks for your kind words Linda! 🙂 I’m pretty certain that the recipient of the Merry & Bright quilt does not ready this site, so I’ll try and get some photos up tomorrow.
As for the pattern, it’s simple–I just arranged the layer cake squares in a pleasing way and sewed it together. So simple, yet I think it’s one of my most favorite “patterns” because you really get to enjoy the whole fabric line, and what each piece of fabric has to offer.
Here’s a link to Amanda Jean’s (of crazy mom quilts) Christmas charm quilt: http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/2008/11/christmas-charm.html
Good luck with your APQS longarm machine, and I look forward to your website…drop me a message when it’s up and running, and let me know what you decide to do with the Merry & Bright fabric (I LOVE that line!!!! 🙂 ).
You made several fine points there. I did a search on the issue and found the majority of folks will consent with your blog.
of course like your website but you need to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very bothersome to inform the truth on the other hand I’ll certainly come again again.
I’ll right away grab your rss feed as I can not find your e-mail subscription link or e-newsletter service. Do you’ve any? Kindly let me know so that I could subscribe. Thanks.

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
Very interesting details you have mentioned, thankyou for posting. “What is harder than rock, or softer than water Yet soft water hollows out hard rock. Persevere.” by Ovid.
I haven¦t checked in here for some time because I thought it was getting boring, but the last few posts are great quality so I guess I will add you back to my daily bloglist. You deserve it my friend 🙂
I’ve been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours nowadays, but I by no means found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty price enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content material as you did, the internet will probably be much more helpful than ever before.
My brother recommended I might like this blog. He was totally right. This post actually made my day. You can not imagine just how much time I had spent for this info! Thanks!
Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Appreciate it
I gotta favorite this website it seems invaluable extremely helpful
