Hello Sewing Friends, 

Bring on the flowers! Last collection release I sewed up the Ditsy Daisy Block with Midsummer Fabrics and I can’t get flowers out of my brain! So here comes another flower quilt block to add to your quilting resume! The “Tulips Fields” block measures 12 1/2"  x 13"  but surely packs a punch with the linear floral design of tulips lined up in a row just like a tulip field. This block pairs back with the Modernista Fabrics I used so incredibly well. The geometric designs and bold vibrant colors shine in this graphic tulip ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

I have been sewing with AGF’s 2.5 Edition Binding Fabrics lately and each time it feels like magic and I have barely scratched the surface on how you can use them, not just in binding quilts but in so many other ways. One of my favorite ways yet was sewing up an apron with Midsummer fabrics. Make sure to check it out here: Midsummer Apron. One of my new favorite ways to create with AGF’s 2.5 Fabrics is to make straps. Today we will be learning to make 3 different straps. I chose ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

We are in the thick of summer and going on morning and evening walks are one of my favorite things to do. As I walk I love smelling the sweet aroma of flowers in peoples yards and stopping to admire the colors and shapes and sizes. So it's easy to say I have flowers on the brain which is why this blog post is about sewing up the cutest flower block called Ditsy Daisy! I used Sharon Holland’s newest collection, Midsummer which was the perfect choice of fabrics. Midsummer is filled with different types of ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

I love the days when sewing projects come out seamless and effortlessly! Definitely makes up for the not so graceful days in the sewing room, like sewing injuries, cutting pieces wrong, sewing the wrong pieces together, etc. Unpleasant sewing days we all can relate to but we all keep coming back each day because of our passion for fabrics and creating! So when we find a fun sewing hack or method our hearts skip a beat with excitement! Which is why I want to talk a little bit about AGF’s 2.5 Binding Fabric and how ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

Nothing is more satisfying for us quilters and sewists than to accomplish a project from start to finish in just one day or sewing session! They are the best projects to do when you're in a sewing rut, in between larger projects or just for a double dose of dopamine! I got the perfect project to add to your sewing list, the Quick and Easy table runner using the “Kercheif Forklore” panel from Anthology by Bari J. You can complete everything from pulling fabrics, cutting, sewing to finished project in the shortest amount of time yet ...

Hi Quilters!

Welcome to week 5 of the Summer Jubilee Sew Along!

We are almost to the finish line.  By now, you have made all of the blocks, and now it is time to assemble your quilt top!

This will be an easy and fun week.

If you didn't press your blocks as you were making them, now is the time to do that.  Pressed blocks sew together better. 

I recommend pressing the seams open as indicated in the pattern, but if you press your seams to the side, you can get flatter seams by placing the blocks under ...

Hello Markers, 

It is warming up here in Minnesota and that means more time spent in my garden and walking around the lake! So it's time to prepare for those sunny, warm weather days ahead! The most fashionable way to protect yourself from the sun rays is by making the Sunny Brim Bucket Hat! This easy to follow PDF pattern and youtube video was an excellent resource for me to use to create my first EVER hat using the retro motifs in Tangerine Fabrics by AGF Studio. 

Oh, before we go any further, this hat is reversible so you ...

The time has come!!!!

Say hello to beach days and fancy refreshing drinks while lounging in your backyard!  Tangerine Fabrics by AGF Studio is here and it’s sending us a cool retro Summer, filled with charming florals and playful designs. This collection reminds me of my days living in South Florida and my weekend getaways to Key West. Popping on my me made Summer dresses and my sunnies and riding on mopeds all day weaving in out of the endearing streets of this island's rich history. I am so excited to start sewing up some of the ...

Hi Quilters,

Welcome to Week 3 of the Summer Jubilee Sew Along!

By now, you have made your Starburst blocks, and now we are ready to dive into the Rosette Blocks!

Chain piecing will be your friend this week as we make all the little units that will become the Rosette blocks.

These blocks may feel complicated, but they consist of blocks you are probably already really familiar with:  half square triangles (HSTs) and Flying Geese (FGs).

The HSTs are made 8 at a time, and the FGs are made 4 at a time so you can create the units ...

Hi Quilters,

Welcome to Week 2 of the Summer Jubilee Sew Along!

If you are just joining or haven't chosen fabrics yet, kits are still available HERE.  Grab one while they last!

This week we are cutting our fabrics and will begin assembling the units to make our Starburst blocks.

I love to start with a fresh blade and usually begin with cutting the background first since this usually has the most cuts (and honestly, it keeps me motivated to keep cutting since the prints are the most fun to cut, right?

There are fabric labels provided for you ...

Hello Markers, 

Flowers are more than something pretty to look at and delicious to smell. There is a whole language of flowers out there showing us the meaning and symbolism of each and everyone of them. Marigolds are known for their warmth, joy, and passion. Which is also one of my favorite flowers to plant each spring in memory of my father who passed away 6 years ago. This was a flower we planted together every year since childhood without fail. Because of this Maureen Cracknell’s new collection called Marigold is spreading the most hopeful, energizing vibes. 

Take a ...

Hi Sewing Friends, 

Does anyone else still write handwritten letters to family and friends? Growing up I remember having pen pals assigned to us in school from different schools and countries. Over the course of the school year we would get to know each other through exchanging letters and photos. Sending them things on holidays and sharing our lives, keeping them in touch with the day to day. Even though I never got to meet any of my pen pals we created a bond and connection sharing our lives through letters.Til this day I try to keep this important ...
