Have you heard of Tilda fabrics? It is turning into a big sensation among so many of us quilters here in the US. I am beginning to see it everywhere, and was moved to purchase a fat eighth bundle of the latest collection Merry Little Christmas. Tilda fabric, designed by Tone Finnanger of Norway, is […]
I meant to share this recent purchase with you all. It is a kit called Spooks and Spells by Stacy Iest Hsu, featuring her Halloween collection Home Sweet Haunt. Isn't that black print stunning? One of my enablers blogging friends, Ina, told me about this quilt kit and I could not resist buying it. The […]
Moda BlockHeads has been going on for three weeks at this point, and so far, I am feeling underwhelmed. I didn't love the first two block offerings and think I may sit back and see how this sew-along unfolds before I spend any more time making blocks. If future blocks are more challenging and innovative, […]
I've got my fabric all lined up for the BlockHeads 6 project, which will start later this month. It is Pumpkin Spice Gatherings by Primitive Gatherings. It combines the reproduction style I love, as well as the brighter colors I've been craving lately. There are loads of background prints, which I think add interest. The […]
Are you looking for an easy pattern for a colorful quilt? I love Cozy Cabin by Modernly Morgan. I think a bright colorful mix of prints would be amazing for this quilt. Such as the limited edition Lori Holt bundle I recently ordered from Fat Quarter Shop. However, if you go to Instagram and put […]
Don't ask me how I did it, but in between the Great Closet Clean Out activity, I got all my fabrics cut out for the Cali & Co BOM! Woohoo, look at me go. I have always enjoyed the cutting process and don't find it boring at all. I get in the zone and just […]
If you have been a reader of this blog for a while, you know I am a strong advocate of starching my fabric before sewing with it. I like it because the fabric is stiffer and easier to work with, the edges don't fray, it presses nicer, my piecing is more accurate, and the crisp […]
This cheerful fabric collection is Cali & Co, by Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts. Corey is doing a free sew-along featuring this fabric (but you could use any scraps you have on hand) for a very colorful and scrappy quilt. There is a very active FaceBook group that is full of fantastic photos of the […]
Since this is the year I won't be doing any sew-alongs, I thought I would share the second block I am not making. This sew-along is the annual Riley Blake Designs Challenge. They host it every year and the blocks are all designed by their in-house designers. As a matter of fact, all the free […]
It was a beautiful clear crisp day in my neighborhood yesterday. I got started with my plans to sew every morning by starching the fabrics for my sister's Neutral Granny Square runner. It may be chilly, but that fabric dries fast anyway. I went up into the sewing room for the first time in ages […]
