Last week I went through a major insomniac faze. I just started working on some projects and couldn't stop. I was so in the creative zone that when I got into bed the first night I couldn't get my brain to stop thinking. So I got up and worked through the night and continued to do so for another 36 hours! I have no idea what came over me. I just had this need to make things. I still have this need but luckily my body is seeing the need to make me sleep now. Here are some pictures of the first project I completed in this marathon of no sleep. It's a quilt I made for my husband's grandparents. It was their 60th anniversary this past weekend so they had a family reunion. We couldn't make it, so I made this for them and sent it in our place. I hope they like it.
This is a log cabin layout ready to work on sewing.
Here are a few of the completed squares.
On a few squares throughout the quilt I free motioned embroidered leaves on them.
Here is the completed and washed quilt. I love how quilts look after they've been washed. They pucker up all cute.

The back is made up of that fabulous Jacobean print I wrote about earlier.
I draped it on the lazy boy just for some fun pictures.
I almost didn't want to give this quilt away. When I finished it I was so in love with it. Richard had to remind me to send it on. Well, I just hope they love it as much as I do.
I'll post pictures of the other projects in my Insomniac Create-a-thon soon.
Cheers,
Kyle
