New Listing - The Large Throw Sized Quilt in Bold Colours from The Quilt Yarn

Had a request the other week as to whether I could extend my Colourful Geometric Baby Quilt Pattern to Throw Size.

So I sat down and started doing that last week thinking that this would be a quick and easy update on the original pattern. Not so...as it turned out I had to completely re-work the pattern, making the blocks bigger but also change the whole layout around a bit. As this is a custom layout that took a while to get right in terms of colours and shapes.

So here it is: Large Trow Sized Quilt Pattern in ...

Rainbow Sprouts

Rainbow Sprouts is now available as a standalone pattern in my Etsy Shop.

Made with Island Batik's Basics, Rainbow Sprouts is the answer to the question - Why do leaves have to be (mostly) green?

Each leaf has a dark and a light fabric and the number of those combinations is only limited by your imagination.

Starry Seas BlogHop from Sew Preeti Quilts

Welcome to Day 3 of the Starry Seas BlogHop.

Here is my response!

Dawn to Dusk

When Jennifer of Inquiring Quilter asked me to join the Starry Seas BlogHop, I did not respond at once. I needed to see the fabric collection first.

Hmmm, what does that inspire? Let's take another look.

It reminded me of my commute. My new job requires me to leave home before dawn and return after dusk, meaning that I experience sunrise and sunset (especially during these winter months), through the sometimes murky train windows. It is both sad and beautiful.

Veronica - Layer Cake Friendly Quilt Pattern from Sew Preeti Quilts

Sometimes, as I am playing in EQ8, shapes will magically align and something extraordinary happens. Such as this pattern - Veronica.

Cleverly pieced, it comes together in the most elegant way. All you need is a Layer Cake of your choice plus 4 yards of background fabric. No special rulers or fancy dies.

The detailed directions include colored pictures for every step. The clever piecing means you don't have to fiddle with little pieces. Quick for experienced quilters and easy for beginners, Veronica is a win-win.

Christmas at the Cabin from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

While getting ready for Christmas, I'm clearing out the bins of fabrics and kits I have stored in the garage and putting everything in my Etsy shop. If you want to see the fabrics, go to my shop and select the FABRIC section and they will all display.

Maybe if I clear out enough bins, I'll be able to get one of the cars in the garage before the snow flies! I still have to finish posting all of the Gentry's Mill fabric, Cheddar and Coal and then Laurel Ridge. I want to have the ...

Finished My Scrappy Cat Quilt from The Quilt Yarn

This was so much fun to do. I think those projects that just happen because you feel like it in the moment are often the best.

I used solid fabrics and leftover tone-on-tone prints for this quilt. Did not have to look for long for fabric to use as I seem to have an abundance of scraps from previous projects. As I often use solids and tone-on-tone prints I had plenty to choose from. Even managed to piece together the binding from binding strips that were left from other projects (yes, do save them as well!).

The completed quilt measures ...

Animal Panel Baby Quilt - New Listing in Etsy Shop from The Quilt Yarn

I have got a new listing in my Etsy shop. Put it up there the other day, did all the social media advertising but forgot about my blog.

It is pieced, i.e. the panel (Noah & Friends by Liza Lewis for Clothworks Fabrics) was extended by a coordinating sashing and outer border. The quilt top and backing are quality cotton fabrics with a layer of 60% cotton/40% polyester batting in between. The quilting was the ...

A Fishy Story - Pattern Release & Giveaway from Sew Preeti Quilts

It was a heavy lift. The net was bursting with a huge catch.

It took a lot of effort to haul it out of the river.

Ooh it is heavy...

The fish wriggled and pulled against the net and Paul struggled.

Paul struggled

I heaved a huge sign of relief when he prevailed.

And finally managed!

Such a proud angler Paul is!!! Now, you may think that catching all these fish on the banks of Potomac is a load of bull. But honestly, it is a fishy story :-D

The one that got away...
