Fun Fanny Pack Tutorial from Flare Fabrics

IMG_20140706_174932

I ride my bike a lot. And I like to have my arms free, while keeping my valuables close to me (instead of having them in my bike basket). So I decided it’s time to bring the fannypack back into style!

I made myself a fun pouch using fabric scraps from my stash and some fusible interfacing. Here’s a rough step-by-step tutorial!

You will need:

2 pieces of fabric approximately 14″ by 20″ (one for the inside of the fanny pack, one for the outside)
an 8″ square for the pocket.
1 yard of strap
1 buckle
1 ...

I've been motivated... from Quilternity's Place

... to de-stash, clean out, purge... whatever you want to call it, I'm doing it. I've just put a cute bag pattern and the Bendable Bright Light (2 of them) in my shop.

I saw this Sleep Over Satchel made up in a wonderful Upholstery fabric and it was great. That's what I was planning to do, too, when I bought the pattern, but it would also look great in quilting cotton.

There will be lots more fun stuff in the next couple of weeks! Anyway, they're here, if you want to take a look.

Take care,

Off the Wall Basting from Inside Quilters Newsletter

The thing about ideas that are just crazy enough to work is that a person must be crazy enough to try out the idea, to see if it will in fact work. As we’ve been settling into our home and filling it up with more furniture, the nice big floor spaces on which I used to spread out and baste my quilts are no longer very big. It’s really no fun crawling around on the floor to baste a big quilt, but basted they must be and it’s a tried and true method that works.

While I ...

Wedding Quilt from Flare Fabrics

I recently attended a good friend’s wedding in Quebec. My twin sister and I decided to make them a quilt as our gift to them! We made a queen size batik pinwheel quilt, using 18 squares from the Tiramisu layer cake from Hoffman and a 2 different neutral background batiks. For the backing, we used a wide back fabric and a piece left over from the top. We arranged the squares by colour, diagonally. We were so happy with the outcome that it was difficult to give it away!

We pieced the top on our little Pfaff, but decided ...

Love a collaboration!! from Sisboom

Would love to hear what you think of Dandelion and Boo’s collaboration with Daisy and Poppy and Roses of Blue. We have joined together to raise money for Clown Doctors who bring some humour and smiles to children in hospital. I love the idea of of collaborating for a cause. Making children laugh who are experiencing difficulty is probably the best cause there is. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse of your happy moments in helping the cause. Best, Jennifer aprettysite

QUILTING BLUES from That's Sew Kerry

Quilty Numbers

I feel like I have stalled a bit at the moment, not just with this quilt but with sewing and creativeness in general!! I have so much going on that I just can't find the time to sit down and make some progress and then when I do have some time I simply don't have the will! Do you think it is possible to have 'sewing' depression?? I am no doctor but I would wager that it could be an actual thing!!

Anyway sewing depression aside I have made a small amount of progress on Dad ...

Pixel Perfection from Slightly Off Quilter

A few months ago, I posted about a wonderful lady, Knitette (aka Eileen from Scotland), from the Quilting Board who was in need of a Mine Craft pattern for a quilt for her grandson. Well today I got to see a picture of her finished quilt, and let me tell you, I do not know who was more excited, her for finishing it, or me for seeing it finished !

Isn’t this fantastic !

Love Thy Neighbour quilt from Hugs from Helen

yesterday was dark and dreary in Hobart, wet, wild and windy also… perfect quilting weather so I delved into my stash – I had a quilt wanting for my lovely neighbour who has recently moved into a nursing home… not too big, not too heavy, warm and snuggly to make her room feel more homely…

We always have fabric that we no longer love, or was a gift or prize (in my case) that possibly isn't our favourite anymore… I know I have ‘lots’ of this type of fabric, not my first choice but perfect for someone out there…So ...

BEE-UTIFUL STACKED WINDMILLS from That's Sew Kerry

Tricky Business....

This block is fast becoming a favourite in the Quilting Bee community, so far it is the most popular block to be chosen in both of my current Quilting Bees, bringing my total made to 4!! I do love making this block and each time seeing the differences that fabric choices and placements can make.

First up was "Radiant Orchid", Pantone's colour of the year and Rachel's colour choice of the month, the rest was completely up to our own imagination and creativity....pink, grey and floral what's not to love??

I had a few ...

Patterns: How Much Adventure Do You Need? from Threadbender's Quilt Shop

New Watermelon Runner Pattern

There's a lot of free wheeling quilting out there. You sew this to that and cross your fingers if it doesn't lie flat. It's fun. But if you're looking at the fabric you just spent a lot of money on and thinking you're just going to cut and sew and see what happens, it doesn't always have a happy ending. It's time to ask yourself a question.
How much sewing adventure and angst do you need?

Patterns are the safeguard for that. That's why we carry them at ...

The Postcard Quilt Along from Ellyn's Place

A few days ago, Debbie over at A Quilter's Table posted a Postcard Quilt Along. Debbie had designed an adorable mini quilt that resembles postcards. I loved it. Hop on over there & take a look, I know you'll love hers too!

Well I had been ~~hoarding~~ hanging onto some awesome Hawaiian fat quarters that my pal Raquel brought back for me last year. I knew when I saw the perfect project to make with them, I'd know it. Well this was it! I decided to make a "Postcards from Hawaii" quilt using Debbie's tutorial.
