Road Trip.... Paducah or Bust from Humble Quilts

First stop, Nashville!

We got in last so had a good night rest before exploring.

We opted for the hop-on, hop-off bus.

So interesting to see this in Nashville!

The Parthenon in Centennial Park, Nashville, Tennessee, United States, is a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens, Greece. It was designed by architect William Crawford Smith and built in 1897 as part of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition.

Cumberland River. (Now I want a selvage that says Cumberland!)

The Pickers Nashville antique store.

Marathon Auto Works is a large cool building that houses many little shops and antique displays.

Cherish - Alternate Version from A Little Bit Biased

Hello, hello! 2 posts in 2 days! What's up with me?!?

Well, you may remember I posted about my new Cherish quilt pattern back in February.

Well, I made another version of that pattern that I want to share with you!

Since I know applique is not for everyone, I wanted to make a version of this pattern that doesn't have the appliqued scalloped border. When I was making the original and writing the pattern, I knew it could be cute either way. I always want to encourage you to think "outside of the box" and make each ...

Growing Pains from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I recently realized that I hadn't posted my Autumn Thyme table topper in my Etsy shop.

The topper is a combination of cotton and wool applique.

I LOVE the slow process of applique and I love combining cotton and wool together.

It's so relaxing to add more detail to each of the elements in the table topper.

I'm using my Hearthstone fabric line in this pattern along with Lanacot wool and Lanacot Textures by Marcus Fabrics.

The table runner measures 10" x 38". I loved having it on display last Autumn on my table. It ...

Newsy Monday from Humble Quilts

Good morning!

I'm not sure if/when I mentioned it but I recently helped a daughter clean out some of her mother's quilt room. I was hoping the investment would help fund my next mission trip.

I've committed to going to Uganda this June! I haven't formally been approved but am planning on it for now. Thank you all for the support you've shown me over the last several years!

So, book sales, photography (not my strong point) passport renewal, Etsy shop has been my focus the past several days.

Cherish - A Gigi's Thimble Quilt Pattern from A Little Bit Biased

Hello friends! Today I want to introduce to you my new quilt pattern, Cherish.

It's a scrap-friendly pattern that features lots of patchwork hearts and a scalloped border.

There are 3 size options included: lap, throw, and full.

This was my original fabric pull - all from my stash.

The pattern is perfect for using your stash, scraps, or precuts.

I love simple patchwork; these hearts are so fun to make.

I would describe the skill level for this pattern as advanced beginner/intermediate.

The hearts are rather simple and surprisingly, the appliqued border is too.

The scallop is a ...

I am published! from Sew Preeti Quilts

No, this isn't the first time, but I still feel giddy every time I see my name in print, even if it is digital.

Kashvi was published in Make Modern #55.

Kashvi, 60" by 80"

She is simple, layer-cake friendly, and suitable for beginners and advanced quilters alike. I used the Buds and Blooms Garden collection to make Olivia.

New Quilt Pattern - Merry Pinwheels from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends!

I'd like to introduce you to my new pattern,

Merry Pinwheels!

I wanted to design a 2-1/2" strip-friendly pattern

and thought these pinwheels were really fun!

Merry Pinwheels would be cute in any colorway.

But I used this darling Rolie Polie from Riley Blake Designs called

Holiday Cheer by My Mind's Eye.

It's full of vintagy Christmas goodness!

And bonus, the selvages are so cute!

I believe the skill level for Merry Pinwheels is "confident beginner".

It comes with instructions for FIVE different quilt sizes:

Crib, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.

Back on Etsy from Quilt in Progress

It seems there is no booth available for me at the flea market, at least not for a while. I decided to list what I have made on Etsy. I reopened my shop, Quiltinprogress, just like the blog. So far I have only listed some of the zip pouches, but more pouches and more items will be coming soon.

I have plans to make zipper pulls with beads and charms, coasters and coaster sets, and even tote bags. I will have them priced with free first-class shipping, with the option to pay for Priority to receive your goods faster.

Avantika from Sew Preeti Quilts

I first made Avantika for the Island Batik catalogue. The working title was Mosaic Stars but once the quilt was completed, it needed a better name. Avantika means princess :-)

Avantika, the original princess :-)

Sunset Backing and Binding

Made using Island Batik Juicy Mosaics fabric collection, Avantika finished at about 64" by 84".

Juicy Mosaics is a beautiful collection and I love every fabric in it.

Of course, we took her out for a photoshoot, thanks to Paul!

My Little Swap Quilt from Humble Quilts

My little swap quilt has arrived and been seen by Trish. My quilt went all the way to Buenos Aires, Argentina!

It is simple and a little on the primitive side!

Love that print for the backing.

This was the vintage quilt I was inspired by!

The last quilt to arrive went from Australia to Utah, back to Australia and then back to Utah! No fault of the sender! Post office error!! Aargh!

Kitty Loves Candy Fabric from A Little Bit Biased

I fell in love with this new fabric line,

Kitty Loves Candy by Poppie Cotton

the moment I saw swatches of it at the

International Quilt Market last fall.

It has such a fun, unique color palette for Halloween and the prints are

sweet and whimsical. There are so many fun details like Candy the witch,

barns, chickens, kittens + pumpkins, pigs, stars, florals, and ginghams. It's just darling!

I decided to use some Kitty Loves Candy fat quarters to remake

my Cross Stitch pattern.

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

Graduations; What do they mean? from Nestlings By Robin

Welcome to Graduation season!

As our future steps out of the

shadow of their parents and wanders

into their own way of doing things,

I thought it might be fun to

remember some of our own

graduated ideas.

Who remembers the first time

we realized that we didn't HAVE TO

do everything we were taught?

Who remembers that amazing
