Welcome to the first of many Friday Foto Fun Sharing posts! I am starting this linky party because I feel with my full time job, I don’t finish enough projects to do a Friday Finish sharing party. But I would still like to celebrate the smaller wins such as working on designs or finishing up a block or two on a longer term project! <div...
Block 8 is revealed! Double block release today, check out this post for Block 7! Block 8, “Gift Boxes,” is designed by Sola Ajisafe of Alice Samuel’s Quilt Co. This block is definitely an advanced block, but there are instructions on how to make it easier with applique. If you are not an advanced quilter, you should definitely applique the top ribbon. For advanced quilters, the...
Block 7 is revealed! Can you guys believe we are on the back half of this awesome QAL? Block 7 is designed by Sandy Maxfield of Sandy Star Designs. The block combines piecing with a tiny bit of applique to create a Poinsettia block! The week is a doubleheader so check out this post for Block 8 (and there are separate prizes too)! My fabric choices...
Okay so the name of the post is definitely a work in progress… I am starting a weekly Linky party to share progress photos from the week and use it as motivation to keep moving forward in each of our respective projects! So everyone is virtually sewing together and sharing progress on Fridays. This will start next week, I hope you join in on the...
I got some Quilter’s Perfect Stick Klips from a Sew Sampler box a few months ago, and I finally decided to try them out. As it turned out, I loved being able to clip wall hanging quilts and change them up. The Quilter’s Perfect Stick Klips are a large klip with a sticky strip. They are pretty heavy duty, and the Sew Sampler said they...
I’m home!!!! Time to have a quilting party!!! Seriously so excited to be home and not traveling for work for the next two weeks. Maybe my quilting life can get back to normal. I decided to do a roundup this week to get my head wrapped around everything that is on my WIP (works in progress) or UFO (unfinished object) lists. But let’s start with...
Block 6 is revealed! Sandra Healy of Sandra Healy Designs designed Block 6, Hanging Star Angel Block. This block uses piecing for the background and applique for the stars and the angels. I ended up using a mixture of Moda Grunge and other metallic fabrics for this block.
Autumn is my FAVORITE season of the year! Too bad it’s almost 90 degrees today. I’ve been so wiped out by my day job these last few weeks, I feel like all the quilting goals I’ve set for myself have been overly aggressive. It seems like the only thing I’ve mentally be able to do is sew on binding. I also apologize I’m behind on...
One of my favorite parts of quilting is binding because it’s the last part that is needed to finish off the quilt! I taught myself how to join the ends of my binding because I didn’t like the way the folded or tuck binding looked. I also didn’t realize there was a huge market for all sorts of binding tools, so my method uses nothing...
Last year about this time, hundreds of quilters descended upon Chicago for the Sew Pro Convention. The convention was unique because it was about being a professional in the sewing industry. You can read my initial recap here. So what have I done with all I learned in the past year? I have a logo and a brand: Powered by Quilting I’m officially registered as...
