The goodness of the true pun is in the direct ratio of its intolerability.
-Edgar Allan Poe, Marginalia, 1849
My dear friend, Kami, loaned me her sewing machine a few months ago. I had not sewn on a machine since grade school, and previously did all my t-shirt and onesie appliques by hand. Another dear friend, Andrea, gave me a very thorough tutorial on how to use my machine and off I went. These are my first quilts. I hope you like them! While I was sewing them (for a fruitless fair) I got a bit delirious and a whole string of sewing puns wound up on my facebook feed (thanks to my friends for chipping in their puns!). Enjoy the pics and the puns.
P.S. These quilts are for sale.
P.P.S. Pic quality isn't the best...my apologies.

Thank you, Micki! Yeah, I was a bit too busy. My living room/craft corner look like a tornado blew through ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your quilts! This has nothing to do with the fact that I'm your mom!!

Thanks, momma! xo
ReplyDeleteAwesome work, Kira!! I especially love the chicken quilt. You have a great color sense and I can't wait to see more finished pieces. Will keep an eye out for a used sewing (quilting) machine for you.
