This month’s Aurifil Artisan Challenge is to make a Wholecloth Mini Quilt! Paintbrush Studio Fabrics provided a half yard of Painter’s Palette Solids fabric to make the mini. The colors provided to the Artisans are the 2019 trending colors and each color was given out at most twice! I got Mink, it’s a really nice tan neutral color!
This month’s Island Batik Challenge is Artsy Fartsy! The task is to use any fabric art/non-traditional quilting/sewing/thread painting technique using 3 Aurifil thread weights. The fabrics, batting, and thread featured in this post were given to me by Island Batik, Hobbs Batting, and Aurifil!
I can’t believe it’s Friday already! This week has been crazy at my new job and I’m still in that “drinking from the fire hose” phase. I added a ton of items to my to-do list and hardly got anything crossed off by the end of the day. In short, my life is a little nuts and I’m just exhausted! A couple fun things for...
Curated Quilts is a quarterly publication of quilts which follow that quarter’s theme. There is a gallery of quilts, a few articles, a pattern or two, and a mini quilt gallery. The mini quilt gallery are mini quilts that are submitted from the viewers during the call for submissions timeframe. The volume 4 call for entries was during the month of March and followed the...
I love mini quilts so much and mini quilt swaps are my absolute favorite! A few weeks ago I signed up for an Alison Glass mini swap. I figured this was a great opportunity to use some of the Alison Glass fabric that I love and have been saving. I’m trying to actually use my fabric that I love rather than hoard, so this was...
This month’s Island Batik Challenge was Mini Quilts! The products featured in this post were given to me by Island Batik. Mini quilts are quilts that are smaller than 24″ square. Mini quilts are some of my absolute favorites to make because they come together super quick and give me a great sense of accomplishment! My favorite types of minis are barn quilt blocks. I...
I have always been intrigued by improv quilts, but due to my very square engineer brain I haven’t been allowing myself to experiment with improv… until now! I made a mini quilt using improv paper piecing techniques and I LOVE it! Remember my very square engineer brain, I needed a book to really walk me through some improv thought process rather than a pattern instruction. ...
I got some Quilter’s Perfect Stick Klips from a Sew Sampler box a few months ago, and I finally decided to try them out. As it turned out, I loved being able to clip wall hanging quilts and change them up. The Quilter’s Perfect Stick Klips are a large klip with a sticky strip. They are pretty heavy duty, and the Sew Sampler said they...
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...
Happy Friday everyone!!! Surprise! There’s now going to be posts on Friday for my weekly updates!

Since I didn’t have an update this past Tuesday, this post covers about a week and half...
