"Max the Cat " Zipper Key Chain Pouch Tutorial from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

Even though it still very much feels like the dead of summer here in South Florida the kids are heading back to school! Even as an adult I love walking through the aisles of school supplies and reminisce about my Mom bringing me and my sibling's school shopping every year. I love how my Mom would write our full names on all of our school supplies so we wouldn't lose them or get them confused with someone else's supplies. Another fond memory I have about back to school is in every one of my Mom's handmade ...

Machine Applique Sample Finished + Another Grandma's Quilt to Rescue from Cheeky Cognoscenti

You guys -- I finished my machine appliqué project from Karen Kay Buckley's workshop last month! Well, I finished the top, anyway. I plan to add borders and then I need to quilt it, but still. All the appliqué is stitched down and the stabilizer is all ripped off the back, so I'm feeling like I've accomplished something!

I Call it "Underwater Sunrise Garden With Alien Bubbles." 12 x 18

This is a project that I started in a 6-hour workshop hosted by the Charlotte Quilter's Guild. Here's what Karen's class sample looks like:

Still Waters from Terificreations's Weblog

Thirty-one years ago I met my Sweetie. We were friends for nearly two years before we started dating, and dated for about another two or so before we got married. I’m still smitten.

Machine Applique Progress and Continued Long Arm Tweaking from Cheeky Cognoscenti

Testing, tinkering and troubleshooting makes for boring blog posts, which is why I haven't posted in awhile. Last night I took a break from all of that and spent some time playing with the machine appliqué project from Karen Kay Buckley's workshop.

Leaf By Leaf, KKB Workshop Project Coming Together

I'm enjoying the prepared edge, invisible machine stitched technique and the prep time really is minimal compared to other methods I've tried. The reason this project isn't finished yet is that I've been having so much fun (and wasting so much TIME!) digging through ...

Sewing Machine Review: Meet Goldilocks, My Bernina 475QE! from Cheeky Cognoscenti

Well, she's not brand-new anymore -- I bought this machine five months ago but I wanted to sew on it for awhile before posting a review. I LOVE this little cutie! I brought 'Nina, my 7-year-old 750QE to the Bernina dealer to have a minor part replaced back in February, and was the first person to play with their demo B 475QE sewing machine that they had just barely unpacked and set up on the sales floor. By the time they had finished working on my 750 I had made up my mind to purchase this one. I've been ...

Reverse Appliqué Unicorn Baby Quilt Tutorial from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

Decorating spaces is one of my favorite things to do, so my love for creating things though sewing helps me to bring these spaces to life. Today I wanted to share a great way to decorate a wall, crib, or floor in a nursery by making a Reverse Applique Unicorn Quilt! One of the girls in our production team introduced me to this technique a few years back and I have made a few pillows which came out pretty cute. I wanted to create something a bit larger so I thought a baby quilt would be a perfect project to ...

Tomorrow I fly out for my next fun event – setting up my booth and teaching a couple of classes to dealers at BERNINA University. BU is an industry event exclusively for BERNINA dealers that’s held in different locations around the country.

Mission Impossible: How to Machine Applique Something to Nothing from Cheeky Cognoscenti

Good morning, my lovelies! I am happy to report that I actually achieved my goal of completing all 48 foundation paper pieced flying geese arcs by the end of March. I had to cut back on some other commitments to free up for sewing time, but Lars's graduation quilt (which I had tentatively named Geese In Circles but have now renamed Mission Impossible: Graduation 2019) is now on schedule again. Yay!

Mission Impossible: Exploring My Options For Piecing Curves from Cheeky Cognoscenti

Good morning! Now that all but nine of 48 foundation paper pieced arcs of flying geese have been made for Lars's graduation quilt, I've turned my attention to the next and final step of assembling the blocks: the two curved seams that attach each arc of geese to the dark purple background fabric.

In quilting (as in most things in life!), there is always more than one way to tackle a challenge. I have three options in mind for piecing these curved seams, and each has advantages and disadvantages. So I ...

Hey, Rebecca! This Is How You Prepare Your Quilt Backings! Reminders To Myself for Next Time from Cheeky Cognoscenti

The flying geese arcs for my son's graduation quilt are coming along nicely. 39 are finished, and 9 more are needed. Each paper pieced arc of geese is taking approximately an hour and a half to two hours to complete. So this week, even before I finish piecing those arcs, I think I need to start cutting out the purple background fabric and working out the kinks of the curved piecing required to turn these arcs of geese into quilt blocks.
