What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Menorca qué ver y dónde comer, tras una semana disfrutando de esta maravillosa isla, os cuento mi experiencia por si sirve de ayuda.

Lo primero comentaros que es una isla paradisíaca con aguas turquesas y cristalinas, con una arena blanca maravillosa. Lo primero que pensé es que no hace falta irse al caribe para disfrutar d un maravilloso baño porque lo tenemos en España. Nuestras Islas Baleares son realmente un lujo que tenemos de la península a poco más de 1 hora de avión.

De las tres islas, es la más tranquila ...

DanDaDaDan!! I seem to be on a roll. I am so excited about working with the Fat Quarter Shop and Riley Blake Designs that I decided to turn today into a party. So, get yourself a drink, (mine is a cup of tea) and some treats (mine are fat quarters of my favorite fabrics and a DingDong) and let’s talk about all the quiltie things. Oh, and don’t forget to read until the end because… I will be giving a fabric bundle away.  Okay, I am ready now. Everyone, this is the Shaded Trail Quilt.

It is a ...

Plato porcelana servir jamón serrano ibérico con un árbol muy español y su bellota.

Imaginé una dehesa donde pastan los cerdos, un sitio tranquilo debajo e un árbol, algo típico y muy Español, un paisaje para nosotros casi cotidiano y ,muy nuestro, para servir algo también muy nuestro, el jamón serrano ibérico. Puedes encargarme aquí tu plato de jamón.

Ahora que cada vez debemos limitar el consumo de embutido por su estrecha relación con el cáncer, es el momento de limitar los embutidos a los más naturales, como son el jamón ibérico o los quesos. Al fin y al cabo ...

I have been in a bit of a funk for the past two years. As a result, my list of UFOs (Unfinished Objects) is growing. I have not added many finished quilts to my list of completed projects. The quilting group I am in is called Harmony and is part of do. Good Stitches, a group that makes charity quilts. I get to pick the block used for a quilt two times a year, and that month each group member sends me two blocks. I get about 20 blocks. That is why I am so excited to have finished this ...

Taking the time to iron and starch fabrics before you start a project builds a solid foundation for the rest of the process – I love crisp edges and strongly believe that they make creating so much easier. Today we are sitting down with Michele Muska, who works for Oliso Smart Iron. I got my hands on this iron and absolutely love it. I am so happy to be chatting with Michele today. Grab yourself some tea, coffee, or maybe even some wine, and let’s talk about creating.    

Tell me a little about yourself!

Happy Earth Day Sunshines.  Are you thinking about your impact today?  I am reflecting on how my hobby can full consumerism and waste.  However, it does have to be with the right resources and knowledge. Scrap Quilts Saving your scrap fabric and using those scraps for an upcoming project can give new life to your […]

Hello Sunshines.  Is it starting to feel like Spring near you?  It is finally feeling spring-like in Indy.  Weather today is sunny with low 60’s temperatures.  Perfection. Good thing as both boys are starting spring sports.  Bring on the soccer and baseball games.  Our schedule will be full. Last week was brutal.  Everyone was sick […]

Hello Sunshines.  The last month has been head down on work and taken a lot of time away from the things I typically enjoy.  That’s the ebbs and flows of being at a startup. Shop Small It is no secret that I love supporting small businesses.  One thing really irks me about others when they […]

Well hello, sunshines.  Can you believe February has 8 days left?  That means we have a birthday coming up at our house and someone is excited. This week’s favorites are more personal.  So let’s jump in. My mom’s peach cobbler Today I was visiting my parents and my mom made her peach cobbler.  I brought […]

Hello Sunshines!!  How has your week been?  I hope something amazing happened for you.  Even the little things can be amazing. Let’s dig into my 3 things from this week.

We are dug out from our snowstorm this week.  The boys have been enjoying the giant mountain of snow that gets built up in our yard from the plows.  This week has been lots of time at home and reading. I should clarify something from my post last week on Quilt Clothes.  I don’t care […]

Hello Sunshines, We are in the middle of a cold spell in Indiana.  It was around -10 the other morning.  That’s cold. With cold spells comes my signature hobo chic look.  Messy bun, tights or joggers, shirt, and a big boyfriend style sweater.  I complete the look with Uggs or slippers.  It’s a hot mess, […]

Today we have part 2 in my series of posts about how you can use curtain rod connectors to enhance your basic curtain rod. We’re going to create our own custom corner curtain rods, this time using just one connector and one support!

I am back today to talk more about curtain rod connectors. Who would have thought I’d have so much to say about these tiny little things?

Need a quick refresher? Here’s a pic of a curtain rod connector. It’s tiny (like only about two inches long) and has a hinge in the center ...

We are so close to being done!! The only step left is binding our quilt. Whatever point you are at in the process of quilt making, give yourself a great big hug. You are rocking it!! I’m so happy you’re here and can’t wait to see what you’re working on. 

You can send me photos of your finished quilt and I will add them to this blog post (edemoo@brownbirddesigns.com). 

Until recently, binding has been my kryptonite. It’s only been during the past 2 or 3 years that I’ve found myself comfortable with ...

Os presento mi nueva bandeja o plato de porcelana para queso pintada a mano. Una vajilla personalizada de lo más original, y que no vas a encontrar en ninguna otra mesa. 

Disfruto un montón pintando en porcelana, y me apasiona el resultado, creo que ha quedado de lo más apetecible, en esos colores cálidos y con un borde rústico que me recuerda a los picnic de campo, donde llevamos el quedo en una bonita cesta de paja. La verdad es que esa imagen me inspiró para poner ese borde, que creo que queda de lo más acertado.

F-video

Mis nuevos pintauñas Hermes

A veces, hay que vaciar, tirar todo lo viejo, lo que ya no vale y dejar hueco a lo nuevo. Porque si no te desprendes de las cosas que ya no valen, pero que ocupan sitio, no hay lugar para que entren nuevas. Y si entran, corren el riesgo de quedar perdidas entre las viejas.

Pues a eso me he dedicado este último tiempo, en el que se van encadenando una serie de acontecimientos que nos han afectado a todos, y que todos conocemos. Sumado a otros que he tenido en mi vida personal. Me deshecho ...

Guess what?? It’s already week six of our Terracotta Fiori Quilt Along! I know… I can’t believe it either. How is everyone doing?? Did you get all your triangles put together?? Pulling out the paper can get a little overwhelming, but you can do this. 

For tips on pulling out paper, head over to last week’s blog post. Last week, we also sewed our half hexagons together. This is one of my favorite steps because of the freedom you have to play with the layout and decide on color placement. After laying everything out, you can reward ...

We’ve all been sewing up a storm in our sewing rooms. At this point in the Quilt Along, we’re creating all the triangles for the Terracotta Fiori Quilt. Hopefully, you’re all enjoying yourselves! 

Changing Up the Timeline

I know life tends to get in the way — so this week we’re slowing down a bit. I thought I would give you a little more time to get the last of your triangles put together, pull all that paper out, create half hexagon sets, and put a few rows together. 

Yes, we’re adding steps this week! But ...
