WIP Wednesday

By Andrea | November 11, 2015 |

It’s been a busy sewing week here at MiMP.  I started and completed my final Project Quilting Focus Through the Prism challenge quilt.  This month was snowball blocks, and the only color I had left to work with was yellow, so that made for an interesting project. I also started making blocks for my creepy…

Yellow Snow Mini Quilt

By Andrea | November 9, 2015 |

November is the final month for the Project Quilting Focus Through the Prism challenges.  This month’s block was the Snowball, a super simple block that can be used in a lot of interesting ways. For this month’s quilt, the only color I had left to work with was Yellow.  And, of course, the first thing…

Communique Quilt

By Andrea | November 2, 2015 |

I’m very excited to share my latest finish with all of you! A brand new king size bed quilt!  I finished piecing the top ages ago, but it just recently made it’s trip to the long arm quilter. I got it back in July, just before our move, so I didn’t get around to binding…

Secret Squirrel Mini Quilt

By Andrea | October 30, 2015 |

This month’s Project Quilting Focus Through the Prism challenge theme was the 9-patch block.  For my version of the challenge, I created a simple 9-patch design using orange fabrics. I decided to add a fun ninja squirrel for my embroidery design – this is not an actual requirement for the challenge quilts, but it’s a…

Lot’s of quilty things have been happening since last week.  As you know, from last week, I made a Monster’s Inc. baby blanket for my nephew Huxley, along with a matching taggie blanket.  And now that Huxley is here, you get to see his cuteness with his new quilt. And no, I didn’t buy him…

A Monster Taggie Blanket

By Andrea | October 23, 2015 |

Since I didn’t have enough leftover fabric from the crib sheet to do the backing of Huxley’s monster quilt, I wanted to make something else with some of the fabric. I settled on a taggie blanket as a great way to use up some of the fabric. One side is pure Monster’s Inc., using the…

I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress in the last week. I finally got around to finishing up the baby quilt for my new nephew, Huxley. I also made him another little gift, but it’s a surprise, so I won’t be sharing that one with you until after I get to give it…

Huxley’s Monster Quilt

By Andrea | October 19, 2015 |

A couple weeks ago, I shared with you that I was working on a quilt for my soon-to-be nephew, Huxley.  But somehow, between getting a cold, and generally being a slacker I didn’t get around to finishing the quilt until late last week. Which is pretty sad, when you realize that all I actually had…

Waiting for 10AM

By Andrea | October 12, 2015 |

If you love quilting, or just hoarding fabric as much as I do, I’m sure you know about the Fat Quarter Shop.  Because of their amazing selection, it’s one of my favorite places to order fabric online. The best part is their Flash Sale page, which gets updated at 10AM every day.  That means I…
