Colchitas...Colcheras...Colchas...all things quilts


Or pretty little blankets. Colcha is the Spanish word for blanket or coverlet. It's the closest word for quilt and the one I have most commonly heard. A colchita is a blanket or a little quilt. A colchera is a quilter.

Catching up

I was reminded this weekend that I have a blog and I have not updated it. Not in quite a while. I always use the excuse of "I'm too busy" but I know that every blogger is very busy. Probably 10 times busier than me. But here I am and will do my best to catch up.
 
I have done some sewing lately. I took a break for a few weeks and focused on knitting. I'm not sure why but I just needed to. Inspiration has come back with a flourish and I'm sewing and quilting up a storm. Sometimes absence does make the heart grow fonder I suppose.
 
I finally started quilting this fun and colorful top. It's not done yet but I think two more session will do it for me.

Sid helping me plan my quilting. He seems to think I'm in his way, of course.

No Sid, please lay there.
And I did make a dress! I made the Staple Dress by April Rhodes. Dear Katie gave me the fabric in destash/cleaning fit (yay for me!) and I whipped up this dress. I made the XL and can happily report it's too big. I'll be making the large soon.

Enjoy your week and stay productive!
