WIP – 4/16/2014 from What the Bobbin?

This Snowdrop flower quilt design is now a paper piece quilt block. I had to give it a test before sending the pattern off to a reader who requested to use the block pattern.

I think it turned out pretty cute.

I’m also working on making this design into a paper pieced pattern.

My first try didn’t work. Darn it! i will rework the pattern a bit and give it another test soon.

What have you been working on?

I love how the placement of the

Q2 FAL & AYOLF April – Finish #3 – Every Which Way from Pieced With Love

Finished my very first quilt with my own pattern and couldnt love it anymore. I wanted to take some great outdoor shots, but since weeks the weather is now just rainy, cloudy, windy or something else, thats not great for being outdoors with a new quilt. So I decided to take them later and just do some indoor pics in the kids room. Amelie already loves her quilt, even if its not yet gifted to her. This quilt is listed here in the Q2 FAL List.

Riley Blake Designs Union Jack Pajama Pant Tutorial from My Fabric Obsession

A friend of mine mentioned she would love to see Riley Blake's Union Jack panels made up into a pair of pajama pants with each leg being a different print. I thought it was brilliant, so Miranda, this tutorial is for you!

Let's get started!

I decided to start with the basic Red, White and Blue panel, but Riley Blake came out with the cutest Pink, Purple and Yellow panels as well. I'm sure I'll be making more of these jammies in every color!

Before cutting into the fabric, I decided to add a little visual ...

Spring Floral Wall Hanging from From My Carolina Home

One of the challenges this year for our local quilting group is a President’s UFO challenge. We are to list four projects that are in progress or not yet started, that we agree to finish before February 2015. One of mine was to make a Spring Floral Wall Hanging.

I knew we were going to have a program on Wool applique, so I decided to do one for spring. I thought it would fit the challenge, and I’d have a show and tell for the meeting too.

I started by making the tulips and the green calyx base ...

little things from Ellyn's Place

Hello friends. Yes, I know I've been a slacky blogger. One of those darned spring colds hit me last week and I was as lazy as can be! Ok, enough excuses. One day I did get it in my head I needed to play around with a tumbler template that I've had for ages. I dug out a charm pack of Wishes and put together this little topper....

Cute, huh? Maybe it will become a pillow. Or a mini. Not sure just yet, but it was fun and easy to do. I also put my new paper piecing ...

This is the block I created in using Electric Quilt 7*affiliate link*. The design seeds picture serves as color and shape inspiration.

I was inspired by the shape and construction of the belt-loops. All the belt-loops on my husband’s jeans are always falling off. He uses them to pull up his pants, I guess. Does anyone else have this problem? haha Anyway, I think this is a very dude friendly quilt design. I may just make one up for my belt-loop ripping husband.

Fun, fun, fun! from Quilternity's Place

It seems that having fun has become my mantra and that's ok with me. Believe me - I'm making up for lost time! Making these bags has been fun. For some reason, this is a pattern that I find easy and when it's finished it looks great! I took three of these in to share with my quilting group on Thursday and two of them sold. Another is spoken for and the last one will go into my shop. And, I've got more cut out and ready to sew!

This is the bag that is listed in ...

Talking ‘bout the Next Generation… from Sew Create It

After completely 12 weeks of Sewing Club at the school the one person that I can really see has caught the sewing bug is my own daughter. When she started joining me on a Monday afternoon I think she did it because she “had” to, but as time has gone on and her skill has improved she has started to ask to sew outside of class time.

I still have a few repairs to make to this Singer hand-crank, but as it is working DD2 wanted to have a go with it to work on her book cover that ...
