Flora's Baskets from A Little Bit Biased

Hello, hello! Today I am sharing my

third (and final) pattern that I designed

for my upcoming fabric collection

with Poppie Cotton called, Treasured Threads.

Meet - Flora's Baskets.

It's a Layer Cake (10" square)

friendly pattern and it comes with instructions

for 3 different size quilts - lap, twin, and queen.

It's my spin on a vintage-inspired

Basket pattern and I love this particular

basket block! Quilting and basket blocks

go hand-in-hand in my opinion.

Basket blocks are just classic.

The quilting was done by Jen Ostler in Highland, UT.

I always love crosshatch quilting. It's timeless ...

Sprout - A New Pattern from A Little Bit Biased

Hello! Today I want to share

a new pattern I designed called Sprout.

It's a simple applique pattern that uses 10" squares.

It comes with instructions for 3 quilt sizes -

baby, throw, and queen. This is the throw size.

I used fabrics from my upcoming fabric line,

Treasured Threads by Poppie Cotton

(which ships to stores at the end of January).

The background fabric is from my line too.

It's a great low-volume grid print called

Good Measure in the color Natural.

The backing is a pink Country Confetti by Poppie Cotton.

The simple custom quilting was done ...

Treasured Threads Fabric Tour from A Little Bit Biased

I can't believe the day is almost here!

My first fabric line EVER is shipping to stores

at the end of the month. It's a dream come true!

I would like to introduce to you - Treasured Threads

by yours truly, for Poppie Cotton.

This is a bright, happy fabric line

inspired by my love of crochet and quilting.

A sweet sparrow bird is the mascot.

Some of the prints give a nod to graph paper,

doilies, and gingham. And of course, there are lots of

florals thrown in too! The colors include different

shades of pink, aqua, and ...

Seaside Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

It's Friday, December 23rd, 2022.

Two days until Christmas.

This month I've hosted two family parties,

bought, wrapped, and delivered all the neighbor/friend gifts,

purchased and wrapped a good portion of our family's gifts,

ate my weight in toffee, made two batches of cinnamon rolls,

made two batches of caramels (both of which ended up in the trash, sadly),

had a girls' night out/favorite things exchange with my besties,

did two puzzles, and lots, lots more! It's been a great month overall.

Crowning Glory Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Today I want to share one of my favorite

quilts that I made this year! I finished it a few months ago

but just recently got some pictures of it.

The pattern is called Crowning Glory and it's in my book,

Quilt the Rainbow, available HERE. The original one

was made in all yellow fabrics from my stash.

I really love the yellow one. But the darker version

just speaks to me! I love the blues, browns, and creams on the dark gray

background. Most of the fabrics I used were from the line ...

Granny Long Legs from Sew Preeti Quilts

Once upon a time, very long ago, when I was a brand new quilter, I came across the Disappearing 9-Patch Quilt Pattern. Sewing a 9-patch block and then cutting it into quarters for FOUR blocks was mind-blowing.

Sewing first and cutting later was truly fascinating. It also meant less sewing, easier piecing and improved accuracy. This was a Win, Win, Win!!! Except for one small problem - it created a mindset. I am forever looking to simplify patterns such that I sew first and cut later.

Meet Granny Long Legs - completely strip-pieced.

Positive Vibes Quilt Pattern from A Little Bit Biased

Today I want to introduce
my new quilt pattern, Positive Vibes

It's a confident beginner-friendly and fat quarter-friendly quilt pattern.

It comes with instructions for 2 different size quilts: baby and large throw.

I made this baby version in solid black and white

which I think is really striking! It's nice that it's gender-neutral too

(for when I give it away...someday)!

I am all about large-scale prints for the back of quilts

and I'm especially obsessed with large-scale plaid prints at the moment!

This one is from the line Fleur Noire by Riley Blake.

Arabella's Garden from Sew Preeti Quilts

I designed Arabella's Garden for the Island Batik's Spring Summer 2022 Catalog using Bee Kind, a Spring 2022 signature collection designed by Kathy Engle for Swan Sheridan of Swan Amity Studios.

There are 20 gorgeous fabrics in the collection. Arabella's Garden uses 15 of them plus Almond (Island Batik Neutral), as the background.

Even the Monster is cute :-D

Gorgeous Colors!

Beauty and the Baste!

Jessica Dayon's Precut Parade Book Tour from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends!

Today I am sharing a project I made

from my friend, Jessica Dayon's new book,

Precut Parade.

Jessica's book includes 9 precut-friendly quilt patterns;

3 for Jelly Rolls, 3 for Layer Cakes, and 3 for Fat Quarters!

All of the patterns in the book are beautiful, traditional designs.

I chose to do this fat quarter-friendly pattern called Sparker!

If you know me at all, you know that I love red, white, and blue quilts

They're classic, striking, and never go out of style!

So Jessica's Sparkler quilt really spoke ...

Box Elder Trail Quilt Finish (Multi-Color Version) from A Little Bit Biased

Hello! I finally snapped

some pictures of the multi-color version

of my Box Elder Trail quilt.

For reference, here is the original version:

[ Photo courtesy of Martingale Publishing]

It's the green quilt in my new book,

Quilt the Rainbow.

There are 10 projects in the book to help you whittle

down each color of your stash. Nine are monochromatic

quilts and one (the cover quilt) is multi-color.

Box Elder Trail is a great scrap buster project!

The only fabric I specifically bought for this quilt was the floral

background - a Tilda fabric from the line Daiseyfield.

Granny Square finish from Charm About You

Finally a fully finished object! I got my Granny Square SAL finished and framed it in this quite dramatic frame.

I loved choosing the colours for this, picking out my favourites and calmly stitching along. One square a week was a relaxed pace.

I would have happily kept on stitching these squares, it's quite addictive and a really big piece full of granny squares would look amazing. Maybe one day.

With other projects to get back to though (and oops maybe start!), I stuck to four. Also I liked the idea of keeping it small within a bigger frame ...

Bloom True Fabric Tour + a New Quilt Pattern! from A Little Bit Biased

When Poppie Cotton emailed me to see if I would like to be a part of a fabric tour

for their new line, Bloom True, I just had to say, "YES!" I love this fabric line!

The line was designed by Terri Conrad and

all of the fabrics have a beautiful vintage feel!

Pretty florals, damasks, and geometric prints in

different shades of pink, mint, and golden yellows,

with little accents of green, black, and white.

So pretty!

I designed a fun flower block to go with the line.

I'm calling this pattern, Flower Farm!

The flower blocks feature ...

Another Boxy Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

I started this quilt on March 9th, 2022 and just finished

it yesterday, June 1st, 2022. I somehow even talked my husband into going

into the hills by our house yesterday to help me get some photos.

This is my second Boxy quilt. It's such a quick, easy pattern to make!

The first one I made was in really bright fabrics so I wanted

to see what a softer version would look like.

Plus I had these two Dover charm packs (by Brenda Riddle Designs for Moda)

Synergy Quilt Pattern Release!!! from Sew Preeti Quilts

It was about one year ago, when I first doodled the idea that became Synergy. I first made Synergy in Rainbow Fabrics on a Light Gray background, provided by Island Batiks.

The second version was in Tantalizing Teals on a Yellow background.

Since then, I have been playing in EQ8, with different Island Batik collections.

In Lace & Grace (Fall 2021 Collection)

In Playful Purples (Island Batik Foundations)

In Interurban (Fall 2021)

But I am so looking forward to the different versions that are cooking in the following studios of North America.

Boxy - A New Quilt Pattern from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends!

I have a new pattern I wanted to tell you about today.

Meet Boxy:

Boxy is a 5" square-friendly pattern that is very beginner-friendly!

It's a great way to use up some of those random charm packs you

probably have in your stash!

It comes with instructions for 3 size options - Twin, Queen, and King!

This is the twin size. It would be a great quilt for gifting

as it is pretty quick to put together and would look great in any

color scheme!

I cut 5" squares from my stash for the main prints and then ...

New Pattern - Always & Forever from A Little Bit Biased

I have a new Valentine's Day pattern I want to share with you today!

Introducing - Always & Forever!

This pattern was inspired by my postage stamp quilt, actually.

I received so much "love" on that quilt; so many people said they want

to make a postage stamp quilt someday. So I thought, what better way to ease into

an intense project like a large postage stamp quilt with 1" squares than to

start with blocks with 1" pieces. You can try this project out first to see how you like

working with 1" pieces. They're really not too bad ...

Christmas Kaleidoscope from A Little Bit Biased

I'm back and today I'm sharing something I'm super excited about!

A new Christmas pattern! It's called Christmas Kaleidoscope!

It started with this beautiful, scrappy bundle of fabrics.

The reds are mostly wovens and the greens are an assortment

of dark and light greens from different fabric lines.

The white fabric with red stars is from the fabric line, Stars and Stripes

by My Mind's Eye for Riley Blake. That was my background fabric.

Green 4-Patches make up the Holly blocks.
