Apartment Quilting/Renovation Update

Did you know that in the seventies QAYG (Quilt-as-You-Go) was sometimes referred to as APARTMENT QUILTING. Quilting in sections takes up less space than more traditional methods.........especially when it comes to basting.

Since my home is still under renovation, I have been spending my time APARTMENT QUILTING.



I took a WIP (work in progress) from way too many years ago and turned it into a charity quilt. The apartment was a bit dark so I took to the snow, for a few pics. The weather was so mild I was out without my coat.....what a mild winter we are having.

Such scrumptious fabrics.


I've also been playing with a bundle of linens from Moda..........those colours!!!


I think I have taken APARTMENT QUILTING to a whole new level. It didn't take me long to set up a few foldable and height adjustable tables from Costco....alright so I set up four, I do have a tendency to get carried away.

And it wasn't my fault that the guys working on my renovation took down some of my design wall.......so I threw them in the car and leaned them on two of the tables.

Below are a few renovation updates..........


The cabinets were installed on Monday..........I am absolutely giddy with excitement!!!!!!!!


Meanwhile, my bedroom is a disaster........we moved the doorway.


I decided to be brave and give the half-bath a hit of turquoise........and why not!!!


I am loving the white cabinets with the blue.

Well back to my APARTMENT QUILTING...........what else is a girl to do when her house is under renovation.
