Surprise! Double post this week because of the fabulous blog hop I’m taking part in! See yesterday’s post for my introduction and to visit the other awesome bloggers who are also a part of the post. Also forgot to mention yesterday that there are some giveaways on the host’s blogs from some amazing sponsors! What fun! ~*~*~ Last week, I missed my regular Tuesday post...
Welcome to Week 3 of the 2017 New Quilt Bloggers Blog Hop! It’s been so great to learn about all these fabulous new bloggers in the past weeks. I’m a part of the Better Bloggers Hive with Beth from Cooking Up Quilts as our Hive mama. I’m excited it’s my turn to share a bit about myself! My name is Sherry and I live in Minnesota...
I’ve been in Asia for work since the last post and am not leaving until later this week. So obviously during the weekend I searched for a quilt shop to buy fabric, because I don’t own nearly enough. I wasn’t having much luck finding a quilting shop, but I was able to find a fabric market. The fabric market was this huge mall of tailors...
Yesterday, I mailed by Maker’s Birthday Bash present to my partner! I am so excited to share my process on how I made the diamond quilt I posted a few weeks ago. Diamonds are the birthstone of April babies, so what better quilt to make! The Diamond is paper pieced from a sketch I made on graph paper. I drew and redrew the diamond until...
It is Day 2 of the Stitching Stars Blossom Blog hop, and I get to share with you my project inspired by “Blossom.” As much as I wanted to be inspired by Mayim Bialik from the Blossom TV show, I figured showing my blossoming quilting skills was a much better idea. I also gathered inspiration from Cherry Blossoms to have that floral spring touch as...
Today, I was going to talk about the design process for this Diamonds quilt I made for the Maker’s Birthday Bash swap. However, I realized it might be better to talk about how to paper piece first before going into designing a paper piecing pattern! I’ll discuss the design process of this quilt in 2 weeks after it’s in the mail to my partner! It’s...
I was very motivated to finish Chic Country this week to gain access back to my design wall for my next pattern. There is nothing quite as motivating as just needing the space. Chic Country was a pattern that has been on my to do list for since April, 2016. After taking the class from the Sew Kind of Wonderful sisters, Helen and Sherilyn, at...
I am participating in a blog hop in a few weeks with some very awesome ladies in the Stitching Stars Blog Hop next month. The grand prize giveaway is going to be a quilt made from blocks from the participants. Such a great giveaway prize, I can’t wait to have everyone see the finished product. Here is a sneak peak of the blocks I made...
I do not usually starch my fabrics. I just never really started and didn’t work with a lot of bias pieces…therefore I didn’t really ever find the need to. However this week while I was testing out my new pattern, I was getting frustrated with myself that I didn’t get my fabric starched. Therefore this week’s tip: Starch! First, I should explain what starch does...
I am tired and worn out but attending QuiltCon this year was incredibly worth it; it was nothing short of amazing! The quilts in the show were so incredible, and I have quite a few to share below. I didn’t get photos of all the paper tags, so sorry I am not listing the makers. Good thing there are lots of these quilts tagged on...
