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.

I've paired them with some fun Star blocks to make a really pretty ...

Modern Hexagon Quilt from Red Pepper Quilts

A Finished Quilt

Modern Hexagon Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2021

Hexies are my favorite! I keep coming back to this shape for English paper piecing, and even though the hexagon shape doesn't lend itself to continuous piecing - there's a lot of stop/start sewing - I still love it. Hexies are so versatile, the layout possibilities are endless, and with the right mix of fabric you can have a traditional quilt with a modern feel.

The fabrics used for this quilt (other than the background fabric) were once again pulled from my stash and many are from my loved hoarded Japanese fabrics (by Yuwa Fabrics and ...

Finished Golden Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Look at me; two posts in one week!

I've got a lot of catching up to do here on the blog so I figured

I wouldn't waste any time posting about this other finished quilt -

my finished Golden quilt!

For this quilt, I used the fabric line Pumpkins and Blossoms by Fig Tree for Moda.

I did a scrappy background (which is different than the original quilt and

what the pattern states to do). But who doesn't love a scrappy background!?!

I threw in a couple other low-volume fabrics from other fabric lines to give me enough ...

Finished Autumn Glow Quilt in Solids from A Little Bit Biased

Well hello there!

It's been a while since I've posted here on the blog so I wanted to check in

and tell you that I'm still here and I have some finished projects I'd like to share with you

over the next few weeks! Today I want to share my finished Autumn Glow quilt in solids.

Unfortunately, I don't know the names of the solids I used.

I need to do better about writing them down beforehand!

But basically, I used a terracotta color, a cream, a dark brown (all shown above)

plus I ended ...

All the Stars Quilt from Red Pepper Quilts

All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021

I am on a roll - another week and another new quilt to show you, this one too was started and finished in 2021. I love all sorts of quilts, from modern quilts to art quilts - I can appreciate them all - but traditional scrappy quilts steal my heart every time. I have had this quilt, a classic 6-pointed star quilt, on my quilting buckets lists for quite some time, and am pleased to have now ticked it off.

This quilt has been English paper pieced and it consists of just one shape: a sixty degree diamond with 2 inch sides. I ...

Continuing this week with another 2021 finished quilt. This quilt is June Dyson Coverlet; a pattern by Emma from Treehouse Textiles in Mornington (not far from Melbourne, in fact the perfect day trip from Melbourne, and a fabric store truly worthy of visiting in person!). Emma has a unique eye for pattern and fabric/color placement and her quilts and patterns are on my quilting bucket list.

I started this quilt at the end of May this year and finished it some time in July. The quilt consists of just two shapes - an octagon and a square ...

Talula Quilt ~ A Finished Quilt from Red Pepper Quilts

Talula Quilt ~ English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts November2021

It's time for a blog update! I have been busy sewing, but have - hopefully temporarily - lost my blogging momentum. Here in Melbourne we've had a LOT of home time due to local lockdown and covid restrictions, and as such I have had much time to sit, sew, and reflect. Some days and weeks have been more productive than others, but there seems to be a light at the end of a slow long Winter. It's almost Summer and it feels like we're heading into the good (and jolly) season. This week I took some time to ...

A Finished Quilt

Ice Cream Soda Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021

Another bucket list quilt! This is my Ice Cream Soda Quilt, a pattern by Jodi from Tales of Cloth. The Ice Cream Soda Quilt is an English Paper pieced quilt. According to my phone photos I started this quilt early January 2021. I took very few progress photos but I do have this snap of my cut and basted pieces, organised by block.

I cut and basted all of the pieces prior to piecing (other than my initial test blocks), using many of my favorite fabrics, and relying on my intuition and a bit of luck in ...

Beginnings, Breaking Free, & Sexual Abuse Awareness from Nestlings By Robin

BREAKING FREE!

Years ago I was part of an

art group that did a challenge

where we were given a

monthly prompt from which

to write a Haiku.

I really enjoyed the Haiku

writing and the creativity it brought.

Once our Haiku was written, we

were to create a small art piece

that represented our Haiku.

Breaking Free

Bound by darkness then

bubbling want from within

Breaking free, blooming.

When "beginnings" was our

prompt, I found myself thinking

a lot about my past and how many

"beginnings" I had been offered

over the years and not taken advantage of.

WHY ...

Shipping Orders, Sewing, and Cute Kid Pics from Needle and Foot

Hello there! Life is still quite busy here. The fabric sale continues and customers are keeping me busy. I am happy to say the stack of empty bolts is still growing and the shelves of bolted fabric are shrinking. Thank you all for supporting me as I clear out the shop in anticipation of closing it.

In between shipping orders, we have had a lot going on. I haven’t been able to get a ton of quilting done but I do get to the machine now and then.

Changes are Happening at Needle & Foot from Needle and Foot

I have some news for all of you so we will just cut to the chase! I have decided I do not want to have a fabric shop any longer! There, I said it – to all of you – in public – it is no longer just a plan in my head! Ah, that feels better!

Let’s talk about how all of this evolved. Last year, in 2020, I sold a LOT of fabric. Truly – tons and tons of fabric. I should have added up the yardage for you but I am feeling too lazy, so you will just have to ...

A Vintage Inspired Hexagon Quilt ~ English Paper Pieced from Red Pepper Quilts

A Finished Quilt

Vintage Inspired Hexagon Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021

Another finished quilt! This English paper pieced hexagon quilt is very heavily inspired by a vintage quilt. The quilt top was completed over several months in 2020 while we were in lockdown due to the pandemic. For various reasons this was a very difficult few months for me and I was fortunate to be able to lean heavily on my craft. At this time I lacked creative ability and vision, but the simple repetitive task of basting papers and stitching by hand saw me through many long evenings and brought me so comfort. I still love English ...
