Last year, The Denver Modern Quilt Guild started an annual challenge called “Adventures in Quilting” where each year has a different challenge. This year’s theme was “Light and Dark with an alphabet twist,” so, each member would make a quilt with light and dark colors and include an element in the quilt with a letter they selected. Earlier this year, each guild member drew a letter, and the letter I drew was D. I ended up making two mini quilts for the challenge that included light and dark colors, with something in the quilt that incorporates the letter D. The first quilt I made was a mini quilt made with light and dark Denim (from my letter D selection) fabric scraps, and also included in some cotton fabrics to blend in.
The second quilt I made was Day of the Dead theme – which I incorporated with the letter D. I used mostly dark colors but included light thread quilted top stitch with diagonal lines which also incorporated in the quilt with the letter D.
This year’s “Adventures in Quilting” challenge was very fun, and I look forward to doing this challenge every year.
Hello! My name is Julie, I am very crafty and I love to quilt! I currently live in Denver, Colorado, but I was born and grew up in Virginia. My sewing journey began in 2009 where I started making handbags and I have participated in several craft shows/markets in Virginia and Colorado.
I began quilting in 2020, and since then quilting has been my main focus. I have made several quilts from modern, improve, lap quilts to mini quilts. In 2023 I became a member of the Denver Metro Quilt Guild. Besides sewing, in my spare time I love to weave, take photos, bake, hike, ski, attend craft/art shows, and spend time with my husband and my dog Lilly. My blog mostly focuses on my creations and inspirations, but once and awhile, I will blog about my trips and travel adventures. My goal is to share and inspire everyone who is reading. Enjoy!
