FABRIC MONDAY

Monday Is All About Fabric #3- Little Cove

I have taken stock on the colors missing from the bolts of fabrics on my shelf and I noticed that turquoise (surprisingly) is not something I have enough of. I like to use the bolts I keep on hand for quilt backs.  I ordered a few bolts from Free Spirit fabrics for a custom fabric collection….

The Nora Hexagon Quilt Pattern Release + Quilt Reveal

It feels like I’ve been working on this pattern for a month.  There has been major setbacks due to some printer issues I have had.  All is well now and the pattern is now for sale here. I really, REALLY love this quilt.  It is inspired my great grandmother, Nora.  She was a talented quilt…

Quilt Reveal – Hexagon #4 + Granny Chic style + Quilt Kit chatter

And again…… I have decided that my favorite part of quilt making is choosing and cutting the fabrics. Is that weird?  That I enjoy cutting fabrics. Sometimes I will spend near two hours standing at my cutting table simply cutting up the pieces for a quilt top. But I like it. I’m thinking that it’s…

Monday Is All About Fabric #2 – Ethereal Fusion by AGF Studio

Do these prints look familiar to you?  They did to me.  I had to do a double take.  I recognized the prints, but not the colorways and not grouped like they are. Okay, see, Art Gallery Fabrics, being incredibly creative and all and mindful of a great print decided, “hey, we are not going to…

Quilt Reveal – swoon #3 + Craftsy Classes and Reviews

Hey, hey! I’m feeling really irritated today.  I did something really dumb.  It is almost painful just to type this sentence.  I had my cat in my lap, sitting at my computer answering emails.  There was a loud noise, the cat jumped and spilled my tea all over my laptop.  So….. it still works, which…

There are some projects that give me the same gidd There are some projects that give me the same giddy, obsessive feeling I had when I first discovered patchwork. And this mini quilt wall is doing it for me.

I vividly remember 2008, sitting on Google and finding all these blogs with pictures of patchwork. Any patchwork at all. I was hit with this massive need to cut it all up and sew it all back together.

And then, every once in a while, boom. A new quilty project comes along and you get that same loving rush of excitement all over again. I’m always chasing those old feelings. 🩷

I always love this part. The sewing is done, the quilting is done, and all that's left is getting it up on the wall.

For this one, I used two hanging loops instead of the three I used on my sample. Both work great, but if you're curious, the third loop does a better job of hiding the pushpin. Little details like that always seem to matter more to me after the quilt is finished 😅

In this final chapter, we're adding fabric hanging loops, inserting the dowel, and getting the mini quilt up on the wall. It's a short chapter, but it's the one that takes the project from finished quilt to finished display.

I finally got the Dresden attached, and seeing it sitting on that quilted background made me ridiculously happy. All those little blades, all that straight line quilting, and now it actually looks like the quilt I’ve been seeing in my head.
I went with the traditional method on this one, top stitching around the edges and stitching in the ditch between the blades. It takes a little more stopping and starting, but I really love the definition it gives the Dresden.
And yes, I definitely spent some time just standing there looking at it before moving on 😅
