Monday is all about Fabric #9 – Katarina Roccella prints

I didn’t get much fabric in last week.  It’s been slow in that way. I did however, get a print or two. I’ve got this thing for florals.  It’s pretty serious, florals and me. And this print seriously struck me.  This is the kinda print that has me doing double takes and buckling at the…

Monday is all About Fabric #8 – Blush and Gold

I’m not sporting any new fabric collections today.  Boo!  What I do have is a random mix of fabrics in shades of blush and gold. I actually purchased these fabrics for a quilt I have to make coming up. Metallic gold is one of my favorite colors to use in my quilts. The question today…

Monday is all About Fabric #7 – Sleeping Porch by Heather Ross

Heather Ross is the only fabric designer that I have a special basket for. It’s set apart from all the rest of the fabrics.  Even the scraps do not get put in the scrap baskets.  They have their own place too. There is a reason why… Heather Ross fabrics are awesome. I don’t use them…

Monday is All About Fabric #6 – Liberty Tana Lawn

Prepare yourself for a feast for the eyes. Prepare yourself for the creme de la creme of fabrics. And no, I’m not here talking about another beautiful line of fabrics.  I am talking about Liberty’s Tana Lawn. Are you struck?  I was immediately the very first time I ever saw Liberty.  I may be crazy,…

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….

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…

This chapter focuses on organic and curved movemen This chapter focuses on organic and curved movement, where the goal is less about perfection and more about flow. Paisley, toothpaste swirls, organic squiggle lines, and S-curves all ask for a slightly different kind of attention, but together they build a really solid foundation for all-over quilting.This has been one of my favorite chapters to stitch. 👏 I really enjoyed this one.quiltyclass.com
We’re playing with swirl variations this week, som We’re playing with swirl variations this week, some loose and flowy, some a little more structured. Come see Chapter 4 of Quilt As Desired class and quilt with me. I am LOVING this project!
We are stumbling through this class. Getting our p We are stumbling through this class. Getting our practice in. That is what makes you better. PRACTICE. There's no cheat code, sadly. Just work through the lessons. We will make some yuck stitches and that is OKAY! Just keep going, prettiness is on the other side of all this work.Come join us at Quilt Class if you want to quilt along. This class is available as standalone or part of the club.

In Chapter 3, we work on three designs that are id In Chapter 3, we work on three designs that are ideal for borders and sashing:Swirls in a borderSwirls are a classic FMQ design, but they are not the easiest to master. When I first started quilting, my swirls were always a little too pointy or just kind of strange looking. Honestly, mine still sometimes come out a little funky. That’s okay. We stitch anyway and keep building that rounded movement.Ribbon candyRibbon candy is beautiful and traditional, but let’s just say it can feel a bit hard. We try a looser approach too, and I show you a version I used in the borders of my Dilly Dally quilt that I absolutely love.Wishbone loopsWishbones are a personal favorite. I usually quilt them as a filler, especially inside flower centers. In this chapter, we take that familiar design and try it in a border space to give it a new role.Join in at Quilty Club - http://www.quiltyclub.com/
