Text It! Blog Hop from Stitchin at Home

Welcome to my stop on the Text It! blog hop, sharing the gorgeous and fun projects from Sherri Noel's (Rebecca Mae Designs) new book, Text It!
Sherri's book has 10 Quilt and Pillow patterns as well as 7 full sized alphabets so you can personalize any project or make something of your own inspired by the book.

I was looking for a quick project as I have a lot going on, as I browsed through her book I found the perfect project. It goes well with my project from 'Dusting off a Quilt Book' .

I used some of ...

My Day of Dusting off a Quilt Book from Stitchin at Home

It's my day too show ~~an old~~ a forgotten quilt book. This blog hop is being hosted by Beaquilter. The idea was to dust off, excuse me while I find the duster it's around here some place. Ahh dust bunnies be gone. Anyway the idea was to make a project from it.

After doing a big clean a few years ago, I thought I had given away my older quilt books. Imagine my surprise at finding a book from 1994. I think I kept it as I liked a couple of the projects in it.

1994 I think ...

Monday's Strength. Book Dating. Pressing On! from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Monday's Strength

I picked up this lesson from Jana Alcorn's book, Don't Throw in the Towel, Hope Again. She pointed out that perhaps by Hezikiah turning to the wall, he was turning away from distractions. Let us prayerfully turn into our wall and away from whatever may be distracting us from our precious LORD's voice. Then, after meeting with the Source of our strength, we can courageously fight the good fight (1 Timothy 6:12).

Pillow finishes from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

I couldn't write about these finishes before Christmas as they were gifts for the daughters-in-law. First the backstory: I made a pillow for our living room like one I saw on Pinterest, and they all said how much they liked it. So, I put that on the to-do list and finished just before Christmas. In fact, it was so close that, except for a photo shoot, they didn't make it off the worktable.

Rich just took them from the studio and handed them out. Unwrapped. Unceremoniously. "Here you go. DeeDee made these." Well, at least I got credit ...

One pillow or two? from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

As promise earlier in the week, I want to show you the pillow I made for a customer. Her sister lost a child recently and she had a couple of his favorite tee shirts, which I quilted and made into one pillow.

I used the backs of the shirts because both had beautiful wing motifs and challenged myself to use the wings for the quilting.

The backing is this green/beige knit that was in my stash. It worked quite well and didn't pucker at all despite having a good bit of stretch to it.

The background has a ...

Top 5 DIY Festive Pillows from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

One of my favorite things to do during the holidays is get together with my family, and spend a day decorating the house while listening to Christmas music. We always split the tasks within our household. My mom always decorates the tree, my dad puts up the Christmas lights outside, and I”m always in charge of decorating the inside of the house. ‘Till this day, I love making my home feel all cozy with our festive table runners, fancy dinner plates, and filling the house with vanilla cinnamon spiced candles! Yum! Of course, we couldn’t forget the pillows ...

I May Have A Scrap Problem... Holiday Makings! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Scraps! We've all got them, and no matter how hard we work at it, they never seem to go away, do they? Well, today I'm going to share something a little different, but it's a technique you can use to use up those scraps, too, so it's all good!

I love the Target Dollar Spot. Every time the season changes, they put out new two packs of kitchen towels. For $3, you can get some really cute stuff - usually one towel with a saying on it, and one in a coordinating print. I love ...

Custom Monogrammed Pillow {A Finish} from Little Pink Rose Quilting & Sewing

When I was asked to make a monogrammed pillow from a teal bridesmaid dress for an upcoming baby shower, I played with a few ideas of how to do the monogram. Reverse applique was the technique that gave the best results with the soft fabric.

I used Michael Miller's Cotton Candy Fairy Frost cotton Fabric for the top overlay and fabric from the bridesmaid dress as the under layer.

To create the Monogram I used Photoshop for Mac. After finding a font I liked I played around with the letters and how they connected to get the proportions.

Halloween haberdashery from Polka Dots and Butterflies

My new favorite obsession is newsprint fabric. And of course I love Halloween. So this pattern by Melissa Mortenson at Polkadotchair was perfect for me. It is called Halloween Haberdashery. It went together very easily once I got the hang of the hats. I also got to use my other new favorite obsession piping. I used piping around the edges of the pillows. I am so in love with these pillows I think I will make some for each season. Changing pillow covers is such an easy way to make over the house for the different seasons. Now to just ...

Raindrops on Roses and Gumdrops on Cushions from Blossom Heart Quilts

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen… nope, can’t think of anything to rhyme with cushions! That little variation of the song has been going through my head this week as I was stitching up a sweet little cushion.

The fabulous quilting magazine, Love Patchwork & Quilting, are hosting a Gingerbread House quilt along to sew up the Gingerbread House quilt pattern by Gracey Larson in their latest issue (#66). It’s a super fun Christmas row quilt!

I chose to make one of the Gumdrop blocks, but then decided to add a few more sections to make it into a ...

Hi, all!

I hope you have all had a happy and safe Labor Day weekend! It's been fun around here, lots of time spent with my hubby (two movies!) and started a new tradition this morning with the 1st Annual Labor Day Big Breakfast! We had all the kids (big and little) over early and made waffles, biscuits, sausage gravy, scrapple, bacon, and of course, eggs. We ate until we were wallowing and then went outside and the adults sat on the deck while the kids ran around in the yard. A great time was had by all! But ...
