May goal

My goal for May is to DO EPIC SHIT! Muhahaha, doesn't that sound epic enough?

Last couple of weeks have been pretty rough and silly jokes might be the way to deal with it. While browsing through the web I stumbled upon the above pic and it feels like exactly what I need to do.

Besides that I would like to piece this top. I need to do at least 4 more blocks, add some eyes and make it the right size. That's it. I'll keep you posted.

Winner = Judy

It is time to announce the winner of my April's giveaway.
I used Random Number Generator and it says 53 which is Judy! Congrats!

Judy said she would like some zipper pull. I haven't made any in a while.

Will I use leather or skulls? Or something totally different? We'll see :)

I have no idea and it'll be surprise for both of us.

I would like to thank you for all your comments. It's been fun to read and it's great to know some of you collect minis as I might just make some during the year and I don't really have use for them. I'm sure I also have some spare pouches around so I either do another giveaway or something. Who knows :)

PPM 2015

April was pretty good month. I managed to sew more, blog more and one of the highlights was Prague's Patchwork Meeting.

It was my third visit. It starts on Friday and goes on till Sunday. I visited on Saturday, probably the most busy day but I didn't mind. I take the train and enjoy the whole thing as a trip. I went to see the quilts and take pictures first. Then I met up with my friends and I had some fun time. I done some shopping too which I already shared.

I started with section A which was Architecture Challenge. Those were the ones that caught my eye.

Plus this one. I thought that was really fun idea and I liked the touch of hand quilting in it.

That's the winner.

If I'm not mistaken. This is section B - International Thread (maybe E as I'm not sure). Anyway who doesn't love monochromatic sorting? I do!

There are two names that I noticed last year already. Barbara Lange and Uta Lenk. I truly admire their quilts. I have to admit I feel like total dummy since I told Uta how I love her Monochromatic quilts but those were made by Barbara. Oh well :)

Moving on to section C - Kaffe Fasset, Brandon Mably.

I do like some of their fabrics and quilts but mostly they are a bit psychedelic for my taste and their wild color combos are way to much to handle for my OCD color sorting :)

Section D - Radiation. There were really some amazing pieces there as well. I might share some more separately.

There were also few sections I was totally not interested in. I told myself I won't even take pictures because why would I? No one wants to sort and show pics of things they don't really like.

Section L,M was for Grandmother's garden challenge. I believe that this one won. It looked really well. I especially like the addition of circles in it.

Section N - Czech quilts. This is the one I liked the most.

Section H - EPM 2014 Imagine. That's another piece by Barbara. You can check some of the other quilts on EPM website here. Some cool stuff as well.

I have more pictures so maybe I'll do Part No.2, we'll see.

May is going to be about Ice Hockey as the World Championship just started and we are the hosting country. It's hard to pass. BTW we are just loosing 1:3 with Sweden. Damn! :)

Linking up with Finish it up Friday since I'm totally finished.

Q2 - Pantone challenge mini

As you probably noticed I decided to join the 2015 Pantone Quilt Challenge.

I finished the quilting this afternoon. I kept it simple. Just a few lines and little play in one center hexagon.

I ran out of day light, watched movie and fell asleep but there are still few hours left to link up.

I made a cushion cover. Something useful and pretty.

I kept the back side extra simple.

I actually put this on my Q2 FAL list so it's time to tick it off. Yay!
Since it is still Friday I'll link up with Finish it up Friday and others:

 

Plan B

I was excited to piece the Triad Interlock but it didn't go as I planned.

I worked with triangles before but those ones with straight lines were the problem. To make the lines continuous the edges were off and I couldn't figure out how to make it right.

The pattern works in rows but I couldn't see the way to make the lines align.

So I took it apart and went with Plan B.

Not as pretty but doable.

The rows went together pretty quickly.

It is a bit wonky but all right. I added the corners and I'm all set to quilt it.

I don't see mini as the hexagons are pretty large but I see new cushion right there.
