AccuQuilt Cutter: First Impression (Friday Foto Fun #79)

Happy Friday!  Last weekend, I did a live stream on Facebook using the AccuQuilt Cutter for the first time.  AccuQuilt is one of the industry sponsors for the Island Batik Ambassador program this year, and they sent each of the ambassadors a Ready, Set, GO! kit.  Our April challenge is to make a baby quilt utilizing the AccuQuilt cutter.  I had never used a die...

My BFF Oliso (Friday Foto Fun #78)

My best friend while quilting is my Oliso Iron, so when I was contacted to write a review for the iron I was ecstatic!  I was given a brand new Oliso TG1600 Yellow Iron in exchange for my honest opinion about the iron.   The pink one in the photo below is my own personal Oliso.  The TG1600 comes in both pink and yellow. Some of...

Project Quilting 10.6 – Craving Chocolate (Friday Foto Fun #76)

I finished my project!!!  I was this week’s Project Quilt Sew-lebrity!  I can’t wait to see your finished projects, too!  This week’s prompt was “Craving Chocolate”, read about it here.  It’s like Trish KNEW I loathe brown, so I struggled a bit to figure out what I wanted to make!  I had seriously considered making a poop emoji, but thought I should make something MUCH...

Milestone Reflections (Friday Foto Fun #75)

When I sat down to figure out what I wanted to share on this Friday, I figured I’d do more of a personal post this week.  It’s been a long time since I’ve offered true insights into myself and my aspirations, so here it goes… I’m Sherry and I’m the brain-child of Powered By Quilting.  The name comes from the ties I have with my...

How to make a Design Board Video! (Friday Foto Fun #74)

Happy Friday!  I am trying something different today with a video blog!  I was trying to edit my Facebook Live post from Wednesday to make the tutorial for making a design board, but my audio and video was not syncing up.  I decided to re-tape the instructions on how to make your own design boards.  Enjoy!

Dust Off a Quilt Book Blog Hop (Friday Foto Fun #72)

Happy Friday! BeaQuilter has been hosting the Dust Off a Quilt Book blog hop all week and today is my turn to share! The concept is to take one of the many quilt books that we all have and dust it off.  Make a project from the book!  The book that I chose was the 180 Doodle Quilting Designs!  I have so many free motion...

Magnificent Minis Challenge! (Friday Foto Fun #71)

The 2019 Island Batik Ambassador program officially kicked off earlier this month!  We got our boxes a little earlier this year and I had to tape my unboxing video rather than wait for a live reveal because I was just TOO excited to see what was in our boxes!  I posted the video to my Facebook page earlier this month, but in case you missed...
