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. ...
Happy Friday everyone! I survived the first week back in reality…I mean work. It was a super short 3 day week for me since Monday was New Year’s Day, and I’m on vacation today! I’m nice and warm in Orlando, FL for the Walt Disney World Marathon this Sunday. It’s not going to be the best run as I’ve been plagued with foot injuries all...
Is it too late to finally put decorations out around the house? Our house is decoration-less at the moment and it feels more like January…cold and not very festive! I feel like I’m in denial that Christmas is coming. I haven’t really worked on any of my Christmas-y projects this fall except the I Wish You a Merry QAL quilt. Maybe next year right?! Anyways…I...
First, I’d like to thank everyone that gave me their thoughts on how to get over my quilter’s block. I think Pattern 103 is just going to go on hold for a little bit as I work through it. I apologize in advance if this post gets to be too personal. Last Wednesday, one of my good friends I’d fallen out of touch with in...
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...
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...
Winter Quiltfest 2017 was absolutely one of the most fun weekend retreats I’ve ever been to! It was my first quilting retreat, but that doesn’t matter; it was AMAZING! I did the whole package for Winter Quiltfest; I arrived Wednesday afternoon and stayed all the way until Sunday. I took 5 different classes and learned all sorts of different techniques. The organizers for the event...
