Sugar Rush

Wow, I haven't posted in ages. That's just an indication of busy I've been since the new semester started. Too many things going on at once. Fortunately our school open house is done and my sewing class will also be finished in two weeks. Of course I don't expect things to slow down much.
I finally finished Sugar Rush by Camile Rosekelley for my sister. Its been sitting almost finished for a while now and yesterday I managed to finish the last bit of quilting and the binding.
The fabric is Spirit by Lila Tueller and I think this is my best quilt to date. Its fantastic.

Its the first time I've done both free motion quilting and applique and I'm happy with the results.

I also love the binding on this quilt because it changes patterns. I must be getting better at binding because it only took me hours instead of days this time around.

And I managed to get one perfectly mitered corner out of four. That's an improvement lol.

How silly is it that I can't stop looking at that corner.
My dress is coming along really nicely as well. It looks very professionally done I must say, and I'm learning a lot. I should have that to share soon as well since I'm getting close to the finished product.
