Quilts
After seeing all the beautiful fabric lines at Spring Quilt Market, I am really looking forward to sewing up some great new projects. (And yes, Matt, I promise to finish the ones I have started first.) I saw a lot of fabrics that I loved, but something was missing. The neutrals. There are rarely any…
Ever feel like all your projects are getting away from you? That’s how I feel right now. I’m about halfway through making the Aeroplane Bag by Sew Sweetness. Once it’s done, I plan to use for a couple things. It will be a great bag for carrying my sewing machine if I ever get around…
Remember that crazy quilting sew-along I mentioned last week? I made myself a fun little project for the challenge. To make this project, I started by making myself a crazy quilted block. I then cut out the shape of a sewing machine and raw edge appliqued the silhouette to a piece of fabric from my…
Last weekend, I decided that my sewing space was getting pretty messy. I decided that the best thing to do was to do a little work and organize all of my fabrics again. I’d done a pretty good keeping my fabrics organized by type and color, but when I used fabric, I was just shoving…
I recently picked up small bits of yardage from Amy Butler’s Alchemy line and Parson Grey’s Curious Nature line. For those of you who don’t know, they are married, so I thought it would be fun to do something to mesh their lines together. I chose to go with warm shades from the Amy Butler…
I made up another fun and simple quilt top over the weekend. This one used some of the stranger things in my fabric stash. The pieced section of the quilt was made by string piecing some of the silks and brocades from my stash. The background fabric for this project was the leftover linen blend…
I’m so excited that Sew Can She is having a Crazy Quilt Block Sew-Along! It’s a great excuse to learn the technique, if it’s new to you. And there are prizes involved from some great places like fat quarter shop, the sewing loft, and fabric worm. Make sure to get involved with this sew-along if…
I’ve got a quilt project I should be working on right now. It’s the Rosalie pattern, which is a super great way to make a quilt with hexies without having to do y-seams. I’m even using it as a stash buster, cutting the large hexies out of all different fat quarters. But for some reason,…
April Showers bring May Flowers, at least I think that’s how the poem goes. And I’ve seen a lot of great April Showers themed projects on the web over the last few days. Here are a few of my favorites. I found these great Mug Rugs by Quilting and Other Craft Therapy via Threadbias. I…
I’m excited to share with you a great resource for beginning quilters that I wish I had known about when I first started my quilting journey. It’s Quilty! Quilty is a great resource because it really does start right from the beginning. Everything that you didn’t learn in home ec class. That’s right. I know…
