Block 4 is revealed! Jennifer Fulton of Inquiring Quilter designed Block 4, Christmas Memories. The week is a doubleheader so there is another post to show Block 3 (and there are separate prizes too)! This ornament block has a lot of intricate applique. I used Moda Grunge White Paper as my background and all sorts of different metallic fabric for the ornaments. Using raw edge...
Block 3 is revealed! Laura Piland of Slice of Pi Quilts designed Block 3, Santa’s Belt. The week is a doubleheader so there is another post to show Block 4. (and there are separate prizes for that one too!) Santa’s belt is a block that is constructed only with piecing. I used Moda Grunge Basics Red, Onyx, and Sunflower for my 3 colors of the...
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...
S.W.A.K. is the 4th quilt in the Piece and Quilt with Precuts book by Christa Watson. I am so happy to finally be able to share my finished quilt after all the sneak peeks on my Instagram! This quilt uses Charm Packs for the half square triangles (HSTs). So keeping with the spirit of the precuts theme, I decided to use Airmail (quantity 2), Modern...
I shipped off my PBQ104 sample quilt to the longarmer this week so pattern testers watch out for a new pattern coming your way in a few weeks! I celebrate these wins with some fun piecing on personal projects. I am starting a quilt with Tula Pink’s Tabby Road fabric line. It has got to be the absolute LOUDEST quilt I’ve ever made. The colors...
Block 2 is revealed! April Adams from JANDA Bend Quilts designed this amazing block! The block is made with templates or paper piecing. Sticking with the Moda Grunge theme, my tree tops are Grunge Evergreen, the trunks are Grunge Basics Bison, and the background is Grunge White Paper. I am not a big fan of making templates due to my lack of experience, but I...
That was a quote photo on GoGoKim’s Instagram earlier this week, and it could not speak the truth anymore clear. I finally got a new cutting table that is the proper height rather than my plastic table set up. I got a kitchen island from IKEA like the ones I had seen at the retreat center. Because the cutting table doesn’t fit in my current...
Pardon my ’90s parody title, but I couldn’t resist tying back to the Backstreet Boys. I also must preface this post that I do not regularly do any hand embroidery. However if I do, it is a simple little backstitch to embellish my piece. This may or may not a handy little technique that will be used later in the QAL I am currently hosting....
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you had a productive week. Can you believe it’s already August?! I’m so ready for fall weather. Last weekend at my last minute retreat at Stitch Supply Co., I met a great group of women from the Chicago Sewing Social Group. It was a blast of a weekend as well as super productive! If you have ever had reservations of...
Today is the day! Block 1 is released, and I am so excited to share my version of this week’s block. Vanda Chittenden of Quilt in Piece is the designer of this week’s Snowflake Block. Check out her blog post for the tutorial and the pattern of the block. My block is made of Moda Grunge Basics Navy with the snowflake in Grunge White Paper. ...
