Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt Along – Aliyah, Asha, and Jada – #5

As much as I always enjoy block making, I won’t lie…I seam ripped the Aliyah block about four times. Lol. I don’t know if I was distracted, having a moment or what, but I kept sewing those little HSTs in the same direction, which was wrong. Ugh. Anyway! How are you? How is your quilt…

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!
