But what's really been on my mind lately? Quilting. Now, I'm no quilter, but I can't shake the thought that it's time to learn. Maybe with something small - for that baby boom I was talking about a couple weeks ago. While I contemplate it a little more, feast your eyes on these delicious looking quilts.

Are you a quilter?
What do you love about it?
How did you get started?
Please post links to your quilting projects in the comments - we'd love some more inspiration!
What Japanese (quilting or otherwise) fabrics would you like to see Omiyage.ca carry?
P.S. - Love that Tokyo Subway Map Quilt? There's a Tokyo Subway Map Quilt-Along on Oh Fransson! And it's for a big version (a 1600 tiny square version to be exact.)
i'm fairly new to sewing and quilting myself, only having started sewing a year ago and quilting 8 months ago. i learned by reading tutorials online and just trying things out myself! my first quilt was a pinwheel baby quilt and i even tried free-motion quilting! it's easier than it seems, and so much fun! all my sewing and quilty projects are on my blog!
ReplyDeletei just bought some adorable elephants from your store, and i'd love to see more japanese fabrics - kokka, enchino, heather ross, kei honeycombs, nani iro, just to name a few!
Thanks for commenting. I might just have to brave up and go for it! I'll be sure to pop by and check out your projects. And thanks for recommendations for fabric - we've got our eye on a number of those, but it's always good to know what else people are looking for!
