I am so proud to share the Snowman block I designed! I used Moda Grunge Evergreen, White Paper, Onyx, and Red for the piecing portion of the block. Mr. Snowman’s nose is a Moda Grunge Orange scrap. When we first started planning this QAL, I jumped at the chance to make a Snowman block! Snowmen are my favorite thing about winter and the holidays, especially...
Finally Friday! For a short week (Labor Day holiday), it definitely felt like a really long one! I didn’t have much time this week to work on projects since I was traveling for work. I didn’t even get much hand sewing in, shocking! So today, I’m going to share a little bit about how I test my designs without EQ7. I do own EQ7 and...
I Can’t Believe I’m Machine Quilting! That is the title of my quilting story. When Dorie Hruska of Forever Quilting first asked for people to help her promote her new book through a blog hop, I was a bit hesitant because I am not a fan of machine quilting and thought I would just be embarrassing myself. Well something clicked, and it’s like a light...
I am so excited to share my newest pattern with you today! Introducing Circular Illusion! When looking at this quilt from a distance, it gives an optical illusion of circles. However, it looks like simple patchwork up close. Circular Illusion is a beginner friendly pattern made with fat quarters or fat eighths and would look great using collections as well as scrappy fabric from your stash!
Can you believe it’s already been a year? For those of you who have been reading since the beginning, I very much so appreciate you, and thank you for reading! (I also appreciate those of you who may have found me during the last year as well!) You may have noticed about 2 weeks ago, there were a few days that my blog wasn’t online...
Block 4 is revealed! Jennifer Fulton of Inquiring Quilter designed Block 4, Christmas Memories. The week is a doubleheader so there is another post to show Block 3 (and there are separate prizes too)! This ornament block has a lot of intricate applique. I used Moda Grunge White Paper as my background and all sorts of different metallic fabric for the ornaments. Using raw edge...
Block 3 is revealed! Laura Piland of Slice of Pi Quilts designed Block 3, Santa’s Belt. The week is a doubleheader so there is another post to show Block 4. (and there are separate prizes for that one too!) Santa’s belt is a block that is constructed only with piecing. I used Moda Grunge Basics Red, Onyx, and Sunflower for my 3 colors of the...
So maybe that might be a little dramatic to say spray basting changed my life, but for my frustrations with domestic machine quilting, it’s helped immensely! The last few weeks leading up to the Piece and Quilt with Precuts Blog Hop, I kept saying I needed to spray baste and quilt the top to finish it for the blog hop. I kept pushing it off...
S.W.A.K. is the 4th quilt in the Piece and Quilt with Precuts book by Christa Watson. I am so happy to finally be able to share my finished quilt after all the sneak peeks on my Instagram! This quilt uses Charm Packs for the half square triangles (HSTs). So keeping with the spirit of the precuts theme, I decided to use Airmail (quantity 2), Modern...
I shipped off my PBQ104 sample quilt to the longarmer this week so pattern testers watch out for a new pattern coming your way in a few weeks! I celebrate these wins with some fun piecing on personal projects. I am starting a quilt with Tula Pink’s Tabby Road fabric line. It has got to be the absolute LOUDEST quilt I’ve ever made. The colors...
