Welcome to Week 3 of the 2017 New Quilt Bloggers Blog Hop! It’s been so great to learn about all these fabulous new bloggers in the past weeks. I’m a part of the Better Bloggers Hive with Beth from Cooking Up Quilts as our Hive mama. I’m excited it’s my turn to share a bit about myself! My name is Sherry and I live in Minnesota...
I’ve been in Asia for work since the last post and am not leaving until later this week. So obviously during the weekend I searched for a quilt shop to buy fabric, because I don’t own nearly enough. I wasn’t having much luck finding a quilting shop, but I was able to find a fabric market. The fabric market was this huge mall of tailors...
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 am participating in a blog hop in a few weeks with some very awesome ladies in the Stitching Stars Blog Hop next month. The grand prize giveaway is going to be a quilt made from blocks from the participants. Such a great giveaway prize, I can’t wait to have everyone see the finished product. Here is a sneak peak of the blocks I made...
I do not usually starch my fabrics. I just never really started and didn’t work with a lot of bias pieces…therefore I didn’t really ever find the need to. However this week while I was testing out my new pattern, I was getting frustrated with myself that I didn’t get my fabric starched. Therefore this week’s tip: Starch! First, I should explain what starch does...
Hope everyone is having a great Valentine’s day! The Husband and I went to the west coast this past weekend to do our annual V-day celebrations. Brewery trips for him and (new this year) fabric shops for me! I found some old circa 2012 Bonnie and Camille, Kate Spain, and Alison Glass in different stores. Pretty amazing I saw those bolts still in stores. It...
In the last week, I’ve had like 4 nights in a row of dreaming about the Chic Country quilt. The dream ends up being about the same every time; I debate for what seems like forever about fabric choices and always end up with a black and white quilt with a pink pop of color. The Pink is the Kona Color of the Year...
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...
