Quilt Reveal – Hexagon Quilt #5

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…

Yoga and the turquoise and gold orange peel quilt

Hiya! You may notice that I do quite a bit of quiltmaking.  And that means many hours sitting at my machine and many hours of my neck bent in the same position.  I tell you this little personal story in case you too have been suffering as I have. I have had many knots at…

Quilt Reveal – hexagon quilt #3

  A little history The hexagon quilt goes by many names throughout history:  Honeycomb, Mosaic and sometimes Six Sided Patchwork.  It’s beginnings were random layouts without too much attempt at color or design.

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. 💕

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!
