I so wish I’d taken better photos of this finished quilt, especially since I’ve been holding on to it since February 2013–which is when I finished it! My friend Kathy and I have birthdays two weeks apart, and that’s what this was originally for last February. I’ve seen her a couple of times since then, but we’ve either held off on exchanging presents or I’ve forgotten it completely. This is a testament to the kind of close friendships you can have in your thirties…you might not see each other as much as you see your friends in your 20s (we keep the love alive with snarky texts and Facebook comments), but you can deliver a gift almost two years late and still get hugs and love for it. We always pick up where we left off in the conversation.

So here’s the back of my latest mystery quilt project.

This was before I ironed and stretched the back out for my quilt sandwich, but I think you get the idea. I added a vertical, improvisationally-pieced strip with the label in it. And the rest is just one big print from the collection. I pieced a bit of the main print into the top and bottom of the label strip to make it look a little more interesting, almost like it’s floating within the backing. I love it.

Parisville Quilt Pt. 1

So I’ve started my first quilt of 2013. And I have to keep it a mystery because it’s a present for someone. But I’m using my stash of Tula Pink’s Parisville for it.

Plume Pillow

Finally! I have made a new giant pillow to replace the crusty old bed pillows I use for lounging around on the couch. I’m completely in love with this cushion, and next I’m making one for Adam in manlier colors.
