Hexagon Project Update from Curlicue Creations

This project has come a long way since my last update! I'll bet you can see what it is now. It's nearing the finish of the hexie piecing. I may have to stop and make a few more black hexagons. I'm almost out of them. It's exciting to see it coming together.

Cross River Gorilla ~ Island Batik and Aurifil Challenge from Curlicue Creations

Meet the Cross River Gorilla, an Endangered Species challenge quilt made with Island Batik Fabric and Aurifil Thread.

Note: Items used to make this project were generously supplied by Island Batik, Aurifil Thread, Hobbs Batting, and Schmetz Needles.

This month the Island Batik Ambassadors were each assigned an endangered species to coordinate with the new Aurifil thread sets shown above. I received the Cross River Gorilla with three beautiful shades of purple, a light, a medium, and a dark. I did some research on the Cross River Gorilla and learned a few things about them.

Violet Spice Quilt and Pattern from Curlicue Creations

I have a new pattern to introduce to you today: Violet Spice.

This pattern features the Violet Spice fusible applique block. (I love this block!)

It's paired with a pieced crossing block.

And finished with a pretty pieced border.

This quilt features Island Batik's new Peacock Plumes fabric collection, available in your local quilt shops now.

I also used Hobbs batting, Aurifil thread, and Schmetz needles to get this look.

Quilt backing in this gorgeous Island Batik fabric.

Binding in blue.

This quilt would be charming as a baby gift, couch throw, or wall decor.

Divide and Conquer ByAnnie Bag Challenge from Curlicue Creations

Pshew! Here I am posting about my byAnnie bag on the last day of September. I just barely finished this morning. I've had so many things pulling me away from sewing time in the last month.

Double Irish Chain Scrap Quilt ~ A Beginning from Curlicue Creations

I've had this Black Pearl strip pack by Island Batik for a while, and I finally broke it open to make a new Double Irish Chain Scrap quilt.
