Bella Skill Builder Quilt Along 2017 WIP Finish from In the Boondocks

WIP Finish

I was a blogger with the

Fat Quarter Shop

For the

Bella Skill Builder Quilt Along 2017

look here for more info

My good friend,

A local Longarmer, Irene Hensley, quilted it for me!

All washed and ready to used.

My grandson is happy to have it for his bed!

It is really beautiful and I feel kind of

guilty it took 4 years to finish the quilting and

put a binding on. This Summer I am going to see,

how many more might be hiding around here!

Do you have any WIPs just hiding out somewhere?

Finish ...

Frankie's Woodland Friends from Seaside Stitches

Here's another baby quilt I made in 2017, this one for my great nephew, Frankie. I blurred out Frankie's unique middle name for privacy reasons.

Most of the animals are from the pattern Woodland Critters by Shiny Happy World.

I added the turtle (for the book character Franklin) and a cardinal at mom's request.

I don't do machine appliqué often, but I did enjoy the process. I worked on one block at a time, adding to the design wall as I went.

I did not quilt-as-you-go as suggested in the pattern.

I love how Wendi's ...

Emily's Giraffes from Seaside Stitches

Since I have some free time while I wait for my grandson to be born, I thought I would show you a couple of other baby quilts I never posted. This is Emily's Giraffes, made for my great-niece in 2017.

The pattern is Giraffes in a Row by Lorna at Sew Fresh Quilts. It goes together quite nicely with some careful cutting and accurate 1/4" seams.

The pink baby giraffe is Emily.

I pieced the other 3 during a weekend retreat. Several friends have since purchased the pattern!

Big sister Jackie is purple, mom is teal and dad ...

Mickey Mouse Quilt - much later and a friend lost.... from living, quilting and stuff

Funky old washing machine - surprisingly there are newer models of this

Another gap - my last blog post was Wednesday, 28 June 2017. I was looking forward to finishing a special quilt - all about Mickey Mouse for my friend Paula. We have been friends since we were about 4 years old. You will have to read the other post to see how this quilt actually came together. This post is about Paula.

She always loved Mickey Mouse - just Mickey, not "that slut Minnie". Mickey was everywhere in her world.

Paula and I grew up together in Coney Isand, West 29th Street- ...

Changes... coming soon... from 13 Woodhouse Road

I have been working like crazy for the past few days! This month has been super busy! But I am seeing my months ahead get busier! And good kind of busier!

There will be a few changes here at 13 Woodhouse Road!

First, there will be a whole new site! Yay!
I finally succumbed and am building a store + website on Shopify
I'm super excited to put it all together. Last year, I designed my other website - www.shrutidandekar.com. Now I am combining both of these and putting them together on Shopify. If you click on any of ...

Aurifil Block of the Month - July - Shruti Dandekar (Me!!!!) from 13 Woodhouse Road

Hiya there!!!

Its my turn on the color wheel!!! And I am super excited. Especially since my color is my favorite - actually my brand color - Orange!!!

Head over to Auribuzz to read my interview and also to download my fun pattern!

I have used the same Reverse Applique technique that has been used to make numerous quilts!!!

The first time I used it to make a pillow.

Then I tried it to make my Harry Potter Quilt

And then, I used it for portraits!!!

First was the iQuilt for my little brother

After that I wrote my eBook. ABOUT face ...

Quick, easy, and so cute from Home is Where the Quilts Live

IMG_2690[1] I have so many jelly rolls and love them. My problem is that I seem to collect them more than I use them. I found this quick pattern on the Jolly Jabber blog. It is called Jelly Roll Jam and you get two cute little baby quilts out of a single jelly roll. They are the perfect size for an infant.

Gotta say I love making these. This one is for the new grandbaby due in a month. Just need to quilt and bind it.

Mickey Mouse Quilt - still a WIP from living, quilting and stuff

Mickey Mouse is back in the box, for a few weeks anyway. I have the top completed except for the borders. I will add a 4" black border with a narrow red flange. Some Mickey panels and leftover Mickey prints should fill the back.

This will be a gift for a friend who has been asking for it for 10 years... "Mickey, but not that slut Minnie"

The delay is only because other commitments are taking me away from my sewing studio for a month. (panic!!)

Getting ready for the baby from Home is Where the Quilts Live

IMG_2684[1] I love my grandchildren. So far, I have five (3 girls, 2 boys) and two more on the way. The next is a girl and she will be born on Aug 16. Since it is a C-section the date is pretty set. The next one is due Jan 21, 2018 so it is too early to know what the sex is. I can’t wait to find out since there are quilts that need to be made!!

The baby coming in Aug needs some quilts to come home to. I love making schnibble quilts for the grandkids as they are ...
