Autumn Jubilee Wool Stitch Along Finish from From My Carolina Home

Time to finish our wool stitch along project. I hope you had time to get your bases done with the apple appliques and buttons. Today we finish it off with a bit of embroidery and some seed beads. When we left off, we were here.

Get out your floss and beads, finding some green to match your leaves, along with red and gold seed beads. If you don’t have seed beads, you can do french knots with the appropriate color floss for a similar look.

Place the piece on a countertop. Center a Mason jar ring on the wool ...

Autumn Jubilee – Sewing Project #1 from From My Carolina Home

Autumn Jubilee is underway and the projects will keep coming all month. Clear the decks, and get ready to have some fun. Today we have a sewing project that will showcase one of the beautiful Benartex Harvest Festival fabrics.

When I unpacked the fabulous Benartex fabrics that they sent for Autumn Jubilee, I saw this fabric with the edge to edge border print design. The first thing I thought of was an apron to take advantage of the fabulous border print. It’s the perfect project to kick off a month of projects featuring Mason jars to wear in the ...

It's paired with a pieced crossing block.

And finished with a pretty pieced border.

Never Too Early featuring the Jolly Holiday Christmas Tree Skirt from Curlicue Creations

Tool Time: Amherst Point from Sew Karen-ly Created...

This month, the Island Batik Ambassadors were divided into two camps: one group would participate in a blog hop of quilts made from the new collections shipping to stores now, and the rest of us would make a quilt featuring our favourite tool.

Those who know me, can appreciate that this was no easy topic for this no-gadget gal. Folks are shocked when I announce that I have, and use, just one ruler for all my work. (It's a 6-1/2" x 24" Omnigrid ruler with markings for 30, 45, and 60 degree angles. If I need an angle ...
