Merry Christmas, Pattern Sale!

Merry Christmas everyone!  I hope you are having a safe and joyous holiday with family and friends. I’m in the process of moving all of my patterns from Craftsy to Payhip before Friday when my Craftsy shop is removed.  If you haven’t heard, Craftsy is removing a lot of shops and the shops that are left may or may not have all their patterns after...

2019 Planning Party

Yvonne at Quilting Jet Girl is hosting this year’s planning party again! I figured this would be a great way for me to detail out my goals for the upcoming year. Looking back through my blog posts for my 2018 goals, I’m happy to report that I hit most of my Powered By Quilting goals but came up short on my personal sewing and fitness...

Whimsical and Wonky Challenge Part 1 (Friday Foto Fun #62)

This month’s Island Batik Challenge is to create a quilt that is Whimsical and Wonky.  I decided to split my post into two parts due to the holidays, and I haven’t quite finished the quilt yet.  The fabrics featured in this post were given to me by Island Batik.  In celebration of the end of the 2018 Monthly Color Challenge tomorrow (the setting instructions are...

Color Burst Quilt Pattern!

Today, I am so excited to share my newest pattern!  This quilt was actually in progress BEFORE Square Stones and Frosty Wonderland but was put aside for Quilt Market prep.  Introducing Color Burst! Color Burst is Fat Quater friendly.  The sample quilt uses Mixtape by Libs Elliott.  I use all 26 prints on normal quilting cotton in her collection.  The canvas prints weren’t included, 25 prints...

Holiday Gifts: Hexie Coasters

Tis the season!  As I eluded to on Friday, I’ve been looking for quick handmade gifts to make my team.  I had forgotten to mention that a large majority were maintenance personnel so they don’t have an office.  But for those who do have an office, I tried out the  5-minute hexie coaster tutorial by Sharla from Thistle Thicket Studio!

Cozy Cabin: Log Cabin Challenge!

This month’s Island Batik Challenge is to create a quilt that incorporates log cabins or a twist on log cabins.  The fabrics featured in this post were given to me by Island Batik.  I must admit that I have never made a quilt with log cabins as I have previously found them to not be that exciting (*ducks from the firing squad*).  I have been...

Fall Quilt Market Recap

It’s taken me an entire week to really sit down and reflect on my first Fall Quilt Market trip.  I’m glad this year was the anomaly of being a week later than normal.  Because of the later dates, it ended up on the same weekend as Blizzcon!  Blizzcon is the only vacation that my husband and I take that has nothing to do with our side...
