Para Para Quilt #3 – Spirited Version – Quilt Reveal

  I’ll be talking about the Para Para quilt today. This one has sat unfinished since February/March. We had the Para Para quilt along at the beginning of the year and seems like it finished up right around the time Covid began or became widespread. I became involved with other things and the quilt top…

Quilt Reveal – Para Para Quilt #2 – Violet Sky Fabrics

  She’s done!!  I feel so good about this one.  It’s very rare for me not to have some changes I wish I had made on fabrics, but on this quilt I really love all the fabrics used and how they look together.  I did get creative with my free motion quilting too and that’s…

Pattern Release – Para Para Quilt

  It’s release day!!  I love this quilt y’all.  It’s one of my favorites.  It’s not an easy one, it’s one you sink your teeth into and have to pay attention to.  BUT sometimes that’s exactly what you need and want!  I love that’s it’s square, that it’s HUGE (80″), that it’s a sampler of…

Work in Progress – Para Para Quilt #2 – Violet Sky Fabrics

  I feel like I’ve been doing everything in slow motion.  There’s not seeming to be enough hours in the day lately.  I’m ten days late having this quilt top completed (a self imposed deadline).  I’m distracted with doing nothing and I’m starting to get on my own nerves.  Do you ever feel this way? …

  Last week I finished my first Para Para quilt top.  Finally!  Y’all, I have been dreaming about this quilt since early 2019 and now that I’ve finished it, well, finished the top, I am ecstatic.  I’m already dreaming up the next one. I should be quilting her up in the next day or two…

Slow stitches, soft light, and a quilt keeping me Slow stitches, soft light, and a quilt keeping me warm while I finish the very last binding. Pure peace. ✨🧵
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
