What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Rumi at 3PatchCrafts shares on her blog a tutorial that yields two quilted coasters. She explains her inspiration came from a quilt book by author Joy Lilly. This technique is similar to Stack N Whack.

I am so excited!  Today my tutorial for this Flowering Table Runner is being featured on the Sew Sisters Quilt Shop blog!

Good Morning, Quilters and Quilt Lovers! Welcome to Tuesday–Free Motion Quilt tutorial day. The weather…oh the weather! Well let’s not think about it…Let’s have a day At the Beach! Today is the third in a series of Seashells.  We started … Continue reading →

Hello!  I'm Heather from Quilts Actually, and I will be sharing a tutorial to make a hanging towel for your oven handle.  If your kitchen is anything like mine, the towels tend to migrate from around the room and it is nice to be able to always have at least one that isn't going anywhere.

This project is a great way to use up your favorite scraps or to introduce the holidays into your kitchen by using seasonal fabric.  It is also quick.  You can complete this project in less than an hour!

I wanted to call this post 'How I Dye', but it didn't sound right (my children think it is hilarious when I announce that 'I am off to dye').
This post had been in the works for a while, I just don't take the time to blog much anymore - too many other things to do and life is short.
My free motion quilting class filled up, and was so much fun for me!! Usually I teach the class as a one or two day workshop, so it was wonderful for me to see how everyone improved over the ...

The moment I saw Elizabeth Hartman's Knee Socks block, I was smitten. It's a block that finishes at 24" though, a little too large to be asking my OMQG Bee mates this month. I decided to do a cross between her Knee Socks block and the blocks I'll be making for this Fibonacci Flow design.

I give you...Leggings. ;)

It's a 12" finished block, fun for stash picking. I couldn't rightfully say stash busting because it just doesn't use all that many scraps, but it is fun.

I've been making a few of these Portable Block Design Boards.  I just love them and thought you might like them too.  They are really pretty easy and oh so handy to have.  I can't believe I've pieced thousands of blocks without them.

Welcome to Sew Fresh Quilts!  My name is Lorna and I so excited to be taking part in the Island Batik - Sock Hop Blog Hop. 

Each participant has featured their choice of Island Batiks new fabric collections in a Classic Block.

To make my project, I had the pleasure of using these new batiks from the Cry Me A River collection from Island Batik.  Aren't they dreamy? 

What a whirlwind!  What a fabulous way to begin the new year!
Things are getting really busy around here this month!

Rebecca of Hugs are Fun took a few fabric scraps and whipped up this adorable hexie bracelet. This would be a great project to do as a group activity. It’s simple enough for beginning sewers plus the paper piecing can all be done by hand (no sewing machine required). Pick your fabrics according to the occasion, season or holiday. Valentine’s Day is soon approaching, but you have plenty of time to create a hexagon cuff or two.
