Simply Churned Quilt Pattern! (Friday Foto Fun #140)

Here’s the eighth quilt in my Simply series.  Introducing Simply Churned! I made this quilt top in about 4 hours last Saturday and then longarmed the quilt Saturday night.  It uses a layer cake for the quilt top.  Originally I was going to add a border, but I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do, so I left it off.  This quilt is the smallest...

Simply Turned Quilt Pattern!

Here’s the seventh quilt in my Simply series.  Introducing Simply Turned! I made this quilt top in about 6 hours on Saturday and then I longarmed the quilt Saturday night.  It uses 3 charm packs and approximately 1.25 yards of background.  This is also one of the smaller quilts that I’ve made, but you can make more blocks to make it larger!

My Favorite Everyday Tote

As the first Aurifil Artisan challenge for the 2020 season, I decided to make an Everyday Tote by Bagstock Designs.  This month the challenge was to use our favorite thread weight.  My absolute favorite thread weight is 50 due to the fact that I can piece and quilt with 50wt as well as make bags.  In my opinion, it’s the most versatile thread weight and...

Simply Stars Quilt Pattern!

Here’s the sixth quilt in my Simply series.  Introducing Simply Stars! I made this quilt top in about 4.5 hours on Saturday and then I longarmed the quilt Saturday night.  It uses a layer cake and approximately 1.75 yards of background.  I also used the larger A2 Clearly Slotted Trimmer to speed up making large half-square triangles!

Cuddle Fabric is Soft, but is it worth it?

As part of the Odif Ambassador program, I got a Shannon Fabrics Cuddle kit to make something out of.  Since this is the first time in over 5 years that I used Minky, and the first time I used Shannon Fabrics, I decided to just make the cuddle kit as-is.

Tiffany Bag Review!

This past Saturday, I attempted to stream the making of my Tiffany Bag by Sallie Tomato.  I tripped the circuit breaker twice which subsequently cut my stream abruptly.  I did some quick troubleshooting, but nothing yet on what caused it.  However, it didn’t happen again after I started streaming for the third time so I was able to finish the Tiffany Bag.  Isn’t it adorable?

Simply Striped Quilt Pattern!

Here’s the fifth quilt in my Simply series.  Introducing Simply Striped! I made this quilt top in about 3.25 hours on Saturday and then I longarmed the quilt Saturday night.  The quilt is the fastest quilt that I’ve made so far!  It uses a Jelly Roll and half a Layer Cake!
