Pattern releases this coming Monday and the quilt along begins on the 17th. I’ll be making another of these yummies with you during the quilt along and I’m planning on going scrappy LV too. I even pulled a little HR for the occasion. 🥳 Some pieces I’ve been hanging to on for YEARS. I’m so excited!

I’m planning on giving away three PDF copies tomorrow (if you already purchased the pattern and win you can have a different pattern). More on that Saturday morning! 😘

First pic is from the lovely Julie of @jules.sewsandquilts . Squee! I am crazy for Julie’s colors and the softness of her quilt. 😍

Second pic is from sweet Roni of @clearcreekquilts . I love that she made hers in all solids, everything about it pops. I’m also loving the design with all the “claws” in the same fabric.

I am LOVING seeing all of these! 🐻🐻🐻🐻 and just love seeing how the look changes depending on the maker. Everyone has their own style and the differences make everything more interesting and fun. Don’t you think?! ☺️
For those asking, we have restocked more bundles o For those asking, we have restocked more bundles of Funshine (shown in this quilt) for #sugarbearquilt over @meanderandmake . We had to change three of the fabrics, but it’s still so pretty and orange! There’s also a background option if you are interested. If you click a background option on the site it will show you what these fabrics look like with that background, which is so helpful when you are as obsessed with shades of white solids like me. ☺️
Two things. 1️⃣ I’ve teamed up with @letsqui Two things. 1️⃣ I’ve teamed up with @letsquiltalong and am giving away a $25 gift voucher from Meander + Make. Go to her latest post and it has rules and instructions. 2️⃣ there’s a free pdf download on my blog today for the #scrappy9patchquilt .

Hand Cut Heart Quilt #7 + Free Quilt Pattern – quilt reveal + video tutorial

Today I’m showing off my 7th version of this quilt, all in blue this time, and I’m updating my tutorial of this block. I’m killing it lately with my scrap busting.  Making monochromatic quilts is the way for me for this.  Here’s what I do:  I have a basket for each color of my scraps.  All the pink and reds have a basket, all the greens, all the blues, each has their own basket.  When the basket gets full, it’s time to USE them.  If I don’t, I won’t have any place to put incoming scraps, so there’s my...

Monday is all about fabric – #47 – Liberty Society + a bit about the Modern Sewcialites BOM and my word of the year

Let’s sip tea and get comfy Hey fabric lovers! I’m drinking cinnamon tea this morning, the same as every morning.  Saturday’s mail brought in the newest Liberty Society bundle and it’s all about the blues.  Let’s dig in! Find all Monday posts here.   Product Spotlight Sashiko is a beautiful and simple style of Japanese hand embroidery. Sashiko needles by Olympus are perfect for beginner and advanced sashiko stitchers alike. The pack includes two different size needles. The longer 2.5″ needles is ideal suited for stitching straight lines, while the shorter 2″ needle works well for stitching curves. These...

January 19, 2018 Emerge Circle of do. Good Stitches•Hand Craft•hand sewing•lately•quilt blocks

Lately in January

Today’s post is just a random assortment of bits of things that I’ve been working on. I’ll start with this mini I made for a gift. It started with one a Bari J fabric, this one to be exact. The little bird above my mini was trimmed from the fabric, fused to my background and then I embroidered over it.  I spent one evening with the embroidery, and one evening on the hand quilting. Have you tried embroidery before?  Is it not the most relaxing thing ever?  I’m so in love with it. Several years ago I first started...

Scrapping Star Block Tutorial

This star block is the block I made from this quilt I discussed yesterday. If you are sitting on top of pile of scraps consisting of 2.5″ and 3″ squares, along with some low volume strips, this one is for you! I don’t know about you, but my 2.5″ and all even numbered squares, I find very hard to use. My block was inspired by the floors in this picture. Credit to this image can be found here. This block could look quite a bit differently if you are not being quite so scrappy, even maybe have a little...

Modern Priscilla Block Pattern & Tutorial + How to Paper Piece

There are few things that I love more than quilting.  It’s a deep, rich love.  I’m more than a little obsessive passionate about it.  I know that I will be quilting until I physically no longer can.  I know that there will never be enough time to get all the ideas I have for quilts made, but a few of them MUST be crossed off my list. Maybe you feel the same? This is a quilt that I MUST make.  Two years ago, I came across this quilt that left my mouth hanging open.  It was just the top, having been left...
