A QUICK TUTORIAL TO DRESS YOUR CHAIR from ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

Make this pillow for your Adirondack chair to ease your neck while lounging in it. For this project you will need one fat quarter (I suggest this in case you want to make your pillow bigger than what is suggested here), Velcro (for one pillow you will need about 10 inches to be on the safe side), about 25 inches of ribbon, and polyester fiberfill.

1. From your fabric, cut one piece 15” x 17”. Before you cut this size, determine which way you want the pattern on the fabric to go. For instance, my fabrics all have stripes. The ...

International Sister Block from Sew Preeti Quilts

I first came across the African queen block in 2017.

The newest one

I hunted for the pattern/tutorial but found nothing. I drafted the pattern.

Background

I made a block. It was midnight. I was dying to share it with someone who could share my enthusiasm.

My first sister block

I called Bernie on the west coast, knowing that she was likely to be awake. True to my expectations, Bernie was a mountain of encouragement.
Bernie: I'd be happy to sell it in my Etsy store.
Me: You are very kind.

Internal Voice: It is ...

Mystical Land Fabrics - How to make a "Columbian Star" Quilt Block Tutorial from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

Are you a fabric connoisseur? When did you find out you were hooked and fabric collecting was almost as important as having another project lined up to make before you finished the one you are currently working on?

I don’t recall the day I officially turned into a fabric addict, but since starting my journey working for Art Gallery Fabrics five years ago I never could have believed how quilting and sewing would have become such a major part of my life and overall happiness! Can any of you relate? I couldn’t picture my life without sewing and ...

Two tutorials - Quilts from Shirts from Studio Dragonfly Quilts

The original post for these quilts was just over two years ago. This set of mini-quilts was made for a family of five siblings to remember their father. I've received several questions about reproducing the design for the first and third quilts so thought I'd share that information here so that you can make one, too.

One frequent question is about how to size the finished quilt to be bigger or smaller. Both of these designs are based on an eight block by eight block grid. In other words, there are eight rows of eight blocks. To determine ...

Needle Case Tutorial & Give Away from Melva Loves Scraps

The Lenten season and Easter have come and gone and we have turned the page of the calendars to another new month and it would appear that we are well into Spring. But I would have to say... I would not be one bit surprised if we have another snow storm.

At the beginning of Lent in March I set out to create simple needle cases that would be included in our church's Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes that will be filled in November.

I mentioned then that I would be creating a tutorial.

Love with a Twist: Toddling Turtle from Clever Chameleon

Toddling Turtle appliqué from the Love with a Twist series by Dione Gardner-Stephen of Clever Chameleon

Our second dose of small and cute for April

This month’s second Love with a Twist block is one of my personal favourites. Toddling Turtle. He’s cute, he’s friendly and he doesn’t take long to put together.

And he’s wearing full body-armour, which I think is what I need to install on my 8 year old! This is what happens when you let dads play with their sons unsupervised folks…. a buckle fracture caused by too much fun on the trampoline, followed by an evening in the paediatric emergency dept. Life…. it’s what happens ...

TROPICAL PRINTS from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

Hello Makers,

Suntanned skin, waves crashing on the shore, and the feel of the warm salty breeze, there are so many reasons why I love the beach and living in a tropical climate but another reason is we can wear bright colorful sundresses all year!

Kids Fabric- How to Make a "King David's Patchwork Tutorial - AGF Quilt Block Collection from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

Hello Makers,

I don’t know about you but when I am looking for fabrics to sew for the little ones in my life I always have a tough time finding the right fabrics. I either find prints that are to gender-specific or the colors are just not quite what I am looking for.

Becoming an Auntie for the first time 14 years ago and then becoming a God Mother 2 ½” years ago has been such a rewarding honor. As I watch my brother's kids grow up I think back to when I was that young and I ...
