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 ...

titivations

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

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 ...
