window zippered pouches
from Charm About You
Back with another Aurifil Artisan project! This month I was sent some gorgeous Free Spirit fabrics to play with, along with a spool of 50 weight thread. I received two cuts of the stunning Little Fluffy Clouds in Cloud, Daydreamer by Tula Pink and a deep purple solid (which I think might be Tula Pink Solids in Tanzanite?!). The Daydreamer collection has some really stunning prints, including one called Lucy!
The Little Fluffy Clouds print is a beautiful ombre, from yellow to green to blue - you get a better sense of it in this picture from the Free Spirit website ...

The Other Things
from Quilt Paint Create
The Guild fabric sale a couple weekends ago had more to offer than just fabric. I had a few other purchases I never got around to posting.
I picked up a set of CrabApple Hill angel patterns. They were kitted with fabric, although I don’t know that I will use it with these patterns. Sneaky fabric, hiding in the patterns.
I also picked up a floss caddy with very little floss and a selection of ribbon.
There is more wired ribbon than anything, but a good amount of the ribbon is silk. What floss there is looks like mostly ...

contemporary embroidery posted a photo:
I have been creating little embellishments, small pieces of embroidery and patchwork using paper and cloth.
Having a collection of these pieces to hand is essential when I create a new artist book. They fill pages, they are extra adornment

Get Well Soon and Love Messages in a Quilt
from Pieced Brain
Send Get Well Soon and Love Messages in a Quilt: this beautiful free project honors those going through ovarian cancer. Say “I mean it” with a quilt!
Inspiration Quilt #1 for Blank Quilting.
People, I just finished classes and can finally write again on this blog! Phew! And, although this fabric collection (Inspiration by Blank Quilting) won’t be available until September, I must write about this now as I have a dear friend who could use the messages I hid into this quilt design: “Get Well Soon” and “Love”. There is so much we want to say, but I ...

"In the Garden" Again: Rose
from Telling Stories Through the Needle's Eye
Both Kara and I (Teri) have June birthdays, so it is no surprise that we enjoy creating roses. You will see them in many of our designs—in fabric, ribbon, and embroidery. And thus, we knew we would dedicate a block In the Garden to our June flower, the Rose. We layered the petals and accentuated them with stitching and a sprinkle of beaded dewdrops. As you'll see, there are other ways to interpret the pattern. How will your rose bloom?

Award Quilt Block
from Expect Moore
This month’s free quilt block theme is graduation. One of my favorite things about graduation was always the awards that were given out – highest score, most improved, achievements, athletics, and more. So I designed this award ribbon quilt block. You can use the negative space to the left of the ribbon to include the […]
