A Little Fire
from Thread Head
Today my son and I sewed a microwave baked potato bag-
It looked lovely for a few minutes, until we used it -
Online instructions said that it would take about 7-10 minutes to bake a potato, and to stop the microwave every two minutes and turn it (which we did). The fire started just after 4 minutes (and the potato was fully cooked). When we took it out of the microwave it was really smoking and just looked a bit brown on the outside.
I used the proper cotton batting (Pellon wrap-and-zap) for this project, cotton fabric and cotton thread ...

A Creative Homage: Art District Fusion
from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog
Have you ever spent a day exploring an artsy neighborhood?! You’d probably start your day, grabbing a cup of coffee at a cute cafe, wander in and out of art galleries, browse small shops that are filled with unique, artisanal crafts, and of course, spend some time photographing all the amazing murals you’d unexpectedly find in alleyways. In Florida, if you're looking to see some street art or explore some unique shops, galleries, plant stores and delicious cafes, our biggest art district here is "Wynwood" which is a fun place to head to!

Baby Quilt Tutorial - "Coco" the Squirrel
from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog
Hello Makers,
It's the most wonderful time of the year as the song suggests and for me this is a very true statement. Any excuse to get together with family and friends I am definitely a super fan of! Also any extra reason to sew up something new I am all for it! Which is why I especially love sewing for the holidays to decorate my home and to create awesome homemade makes for the special people in my life.
Meet “Coco” the Squirrel below. This gift giving, Santa hat wearing critter would look cute tucked inside baby’s ...

from Pat Sloan's Blog
Article continues below these Amazon Goodies
I’m constantly inspired by how a squares, rectangles and HSTs can turn into about 5 million different blocks. Today, the pinwheel swirl takes us for a spin.
As always the Red & Green is just like the quilt in the book. I am doing the tips with Something Blue Fabric as I make a 2nd quilt
How This Works:

Wedding dress finish!
from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories
Anyway she contacted me with an alteration request. At the time the dress was too long, but in the weeks since she's lost weight, so the dress was also a little big. Just big enough to need a few tucks.
She drove the normally five hours in a torrential rain for this. The dress is well made with underpinnings and boning, and interfacing, and lots of other stuff all built in. However, the ... read more

How does that cool die cut machine really work?
from Pat Sloan's Blog
I recently hinted that I found a wonderful new tool when I was at the trade show in Houston, it's arrived!
My friend Katy Jones wrote me before I went to the show. She works with Crafter's Companion company and asked me if I'd like to take a look at the die cut machine they make. If Katy asks me, I'm going to take a look! I've known Katy for a long time, she has been on my podcast, and she is a super talented quilt maker and friend.

Fun Facts
from Bear Patch Quilting
One more milestone was recently accomplished in the closing of Bear Patch -- we had our final employee Christmas party! I know, it's bittersweet, but I think it was possibly the most fun party we have had! It was a potluck at the store after business hours. Normally, we go out to eat, but since we had just had a fabulous dinner at our retirement party for Debbie and Laurel, we opted to just stay at the store and share our own specialities. Wow! Good food, too much to even fit on our cutting table buffet line! Desserts had to ...
read moreMinikins: Desktop Cubes
from Liz Makes Crafts
Several months ago I was in Walmart with my husband and sister-in-law and I saw a little black / gold fat quarter bundle that I was immediately attracted to. But then the snob inside me came out and said, "Walmart fabric? Really?" But they were so pretty and shiny ... and pretty cheap, that I couldn't pass them up.
When I was auditioning fabrics for making a trio of nesting Desktop Cubes from Sew Sweetness's Minikins collection, these immediately started screaming, "Use me! Use me!"
I made 3 of the cubes, one in each size, because I figured making 3 ...

from Charm About You
For those times when you want a quick little make, a handmade gift, or need a needle case! Here's my tutorial for the Little Quilt needle case, so named because that's what it is like (with a bit of felt!). The finished needle case measures 3" x 4". If you need to store more needles and have a handy way of organising them, may I suggest the Stitchy Pie needle case pattern available in my shop.
You can go to town or keep it really simple and you can whip these up so quickly, you will want to ...

Welcome Splendid Sampler Quilters!
My block today is to honor my amazing mother-in-law Madge.
I hit the jackpot on getting the best MIL there is!
Madge and I share a love of quilting and gardening. Our two favorite things to talk about. She is also an amazing seamstress. Making most of her clothing since she was a teenager. Quite posh, I love that photo of her showing off a new outfit!
I actually learned to quilt before Madge did. When she started to take classes her beginner sampler had a 'Honey bee' block, and I really wished mine had one ...

Holiday Buddies Paper Pieced Pattern
from Made By Marney
Here’s a fun Christmas project to try. I call this table topper “Holiday Buddies“. I like this octagonal shape on my table.
This table topper is cute from every direction.
Santa starts the collection of 4 paper pieced blocks. I use a bit of blush on his nose to make him jolly.
Mrs. Claus also has a bit of blush on her cheeks. I use a stippling paint brush and some pink craft paint.
Rudolph has a bright pom pom nose.
The Caroler is one of my favorite new holiday designs. Using a striped fabric always works well for ...

Working with Wool
from Thread Head
I have a few wooly finishes this week!
The first one is a tunic I sewed using the fabric I wove last month (it takes me a while to get the courage to cut up hand woven fabric after all the time spent washing and combing raw fleece, spinning and dyeing yarn and then weaving - there is no going back!).
I am so pleased with how it turned out. It is warm and comfortable. It is my third hand woven garment that I have sewn, but the first one that started as a raw fleece.
The pattern is from a ...
