A Pale Dresden Quilt – #7 – Quilt Reveal

I am thrilled to have my seventh Dresden plate quilt finished at last!  This time super pale!  I used fabrics from this post, plus a whole bunch of low volume squares from my stash. Just before making this one I designed my soon to come latest quilt pattern called Bad Girl.  I can’t wait to…

The Basketweave Quilt – Quilt Reveal

I got to playing around with my scraps and a new Basketweave quilt is what became of that time. This is my second Basketweave, the first precedes the blog, but it wasn’t pretty.  This one is pretty, but something is still not right. Apparently, I didn’t care.  As you can see I finished it.  But…

My start with quilts + A Dresden Quilt #4 – ( quilt reveal )

  You know I’ve been working on this quilt longer than I normally work on a quilt.  I don’t consider myself a fast worker, but I’m definitely steady.  I work at quilts on the daily.  It’s prolific for me.  A daily ritual that lasts most of the day.  I took hand quilting with me on…

Orange Peel Quilt #7 ( Quilt Reveal )

It feels like I’ve been working on this quilt for weeks.  Maybe I actually have been.  I posted some progress pics and a new interfacing source here last week. The steps on this quilt are a little long and repetitive so I usually break this one down into, cut a few, sew a few, cut…

Quilt Reveal – Tiny Patch Quilt #3 – Take that, 4.5″ scrap bin!

Quilt Reveal – Tiny Patch Quilt #3 – Take that, 4.5″ scrap bin!

One way that I store scraps is by squares.  I have a bin for each different size from 2″ – 7″.  When one bin gets full, it’s time to do something with them.  For me, the easiest and most surest way to completely wipe that bin out is just by making a simple patchwork quilt….

Quilt Reveal – Flying Home Quilt

I was participating in a fabric stack challenge over at Stitched in Color, and True Blue was the very first stack.  As soon as I took a photo of that stack I knew I couldn’t just put it all back in my stash.  I HAD to use it.  And since that very next week, I…

I really, really enjoyed quilting this grid 💛 I m I really, really enjoyed quilting this grid 💛

I made the lines a little bigger this time than I did on my sample, and I ended up loving the extra space and texture it gave the quilt. It’s technically a one-inch grid, except for the rectangle happening in the center.

I marked the whole thing with a Hera marker before quilting, this was one of those really relaxing sewing sessions where you just settle in and stitch for a while.

Chapter 3 of the Morning Rising Mini Quilt Class i Chapter 3 of the Morning Rising Mini Quilt Class is now available ✂️

In this chapter, we’re marking the quilt with a Hera marker and quilting the background using simple straight line quilting and a walking foot. We’re quilting the background before attaching the Dresden plate, which gives the finished mini such a pretty layered look and keeps the quilting process really manageable.

I sat down thinking I was just going to sew a little bit, and before I knew it, the whole background block was finished and basted. Yes to easy sewing days ✂️

Everything is pressed, cut, organized, and ready to sew. I spent a lot of time thinking about these fabrics before cutting into them, and now that it’s all laid out beside the machine, I’m getting really excited to start piecing.

Honestly, this part always feels a little magical to me. Like the quiet moment right before the quilt starts becoming real ✂️ Cabinet and chair from @arrowsewing

We’ve begun 💛 Chapter 1 of the Morning Rising mini We’ve begun 💛 Chapter 1 of the Morning Rising mini quilt class is now available, and I’m so excited to start this one with you.

The pattern is included with the class, and today we’re getting everything ready to sew, choosing fabrics, organizing pieces, and getting comfortable with the project before we jump in.

Also, I’m weirdly excited about the straight line quilting in this one 😅 I don’t do it nearly enough, but it’s so relaxing and satisfying once you get going. I cannot wait for you to try it too.
