A New Dresden Quilt Runner with Michael Miller fabrics – Sewing Finish

  I’ve been an ambassador for Michael Miller fabrics since early this year and they have been sending me the yummiest of fabrics to play with, but these lovelies that arrived just a few weeks ago really had me swooning. I don’t get to make many things besides quilts, I’m obsessively focused, you see, but…

I made myself a machine cover!  This is something I’ve wanted since I first got my machine.  So what was that like 11 years ago?  Oh, geez.  How we let time slide away!  Enough of that!  Let’s dive into all of this, because I’ve written a pattern and had it tested and voila…..  I’ve got…

Sprucing Up – Boho inspired Dresden pillow (sewing finishes)

My niece asked for bows and I started making them.  They are no-sew and just need a hot glue gun (I used this tutorial).  I liked them so much I made some for myself.  Not really to wear, but maybe. Then I got into my crochet lace stash, and after that I made the little…

Photo 1: I used to work so hard trying to get flyi Photo 1: I used to work so hard trying to get flying geese to come out the exact right size. Every time. Now I just make them a little bigger and trim them down, the same way we do half square triangles. So much easier. So much cleaner. Being open to changing your method… even after years of doing it one way matters.Photo 2: And this paper plate system? I didn’t expect to love it this much. One plate per block. Everything I need, all in one spot. If I have time for one block, I grab one plate. If I have time for three, I grab three. Less mess. Less digging. More sewing. quiltyclass.com
All organized! Thanks to my friend Kathy for sugge All organized! Thanks to my friend Kathy for suggesting this brilliant idea of using paper plates. Each plate represents every piece needed for a single block. Super helpful for Soulshine since the blocks have a gazillion pieces! quiltyclass.comCabinet from @arrowsewing

I can't remember if I've showed this one here or n I can't remember if I've showed this one here or not. The quilt top was sitting in a closet for two years. Then I quilted it, and then it sat on a table quilted, but not bound for several months. FINALLY it's done. 😊 Sometimes these things just take how long they take. ❤️ https://meanderandmake.com/quilt-kits/fernweh-quilt/
