MONDAY IS ALL ABOUT FABRIC – #38 – Bachelorette Fusion by AGF

I’m a little late today with my weekly fabric posts, but you know how it goes.  Life. Still, I like to make time for the things that I love.  And sipping tea while petting a bundle of new fabrics is the best start to a week for me.  How bout you? So take a moment…

Why you should store scraps by size + That Strawberry Quilt ( quilt reveal )

Two things you should know about me by now:  One is very obvious.  I’m obsessed with low volume and I’m not fond of straying from it.  Two is that I am methodical in my scrap storage. It sounds stuffy to be methodical about anything, or it does to me, but I like things in their…

Monday is all about fabric – #36 – Blithe by Katarina Roccella

Hey lovelies, I just spent a weekend up in North and South Carolina.  Oh!  Can I please move out there?  I need to be around mountains more often.  I need trees, nature, and wildlife.  I need to be breathing in fresh air more.  I need views of mountains upon mountains. I actually live in a…

Pulled this one from my basket of rescue quilts 💕. She’s scrappy, pink, and pieced into these giant hexagons that I couldn’t stop staring at. The top had some little holes, but instead of “fixing” them, I just quilted right over so the story stayed in place.Now she’s sturdy, soft, and finished, with a seafoam binding and chunky pink stitches to cheer things on. Not perfect, but full of history and charm. You can watch the video of me finishing this quilt on my website today.#rescuequilt #quiltswithstories
Remember that big scorch mark I left on my wool ma Remember that big scorch mark I left on my wool mat? 😭 Y’all came through with so many tips, and @gina_tell_threadgraffiti shared the winning solution. Just put hydrogen peroxide on an old towel, lay it over the stain, and iron on top. The burn mark lifted right out, like magic. It even works on fabric stains and scorch marks too. I’m so grateful for this amazing quilting community 💕Beautiful gorgeous wool mat from @novodonquilting

I don’t usually make pouches, but I had the urge I don’t usually make pouches, but I had the urge to try something different. Quilted a simple grid on Wild Bloom Drama and stitched it up into these little quilted pouches. And honestly… I’m kind of obsessed. 💕
PSA to my fellow quilters: don’t leave your hot PSA to my fellow quilters: don’t leave your hot iron sitting on your wool mat while teaching. Ask me how I know… 🫠 What’s the worst sewing mishap you’ve ever had?
Day 3 (or is it 30?) with my first Faefolk quilt i Day 3 (or is it 30?) with my first Faefolk quilt in Everlush fabrics. Quilting on the @Berninausa Q20 sit-down and questioning my life choices… but wow, it’s going to be worth it. 🪡✨ Someday
Here are some still shots of my Faefolk quilt in M Here are some still shots of my Faefolk quilt in Maple Syrup Disco ✨🧵.On my first Faefolk quilt, I didn’t use pins. Partly because I was in a rush and partly because I had been working on Dilly Dally, so my piecing game was on point. Those seams came out perfect.I thought, “I’ve done it once, I can do it again.” This time I skipped pins, but I haven’t been working on anything fussy lately, and let’s just say the seams had a mind of their own. 🙃 🤦‍♀️ Anyway, going to be sending this one to testers this week!
