Happy Folk Quilt – Gingerbread – 2nd In Progress

Happyfolk Quilt I last chatted about the progress of my Happyfolk quilt here. I’ve been slow moving on this one. Busy with other lovelies, I guess, but my heart is right here in this one though. It has all my favorite things happening…..low volume, Dresden plates, gold, peach. I’m in love with the color palette….

A Dresden Quilt #9 – Jewel Tones – In Progress

  A Dresden Quilt After a month of effort, I finally have a flimsy for my A Dresden Quilt. My 9th version of this quilt. Whew! This feels good! So much work and for a while there I thought I’d never get here. Dresdens are so tedious, so time consuming, but it’s hard to argue…

Happyfolk Quilt – Gingerbread – In Progress

Happyfolk I’ve started a new quilt this week. I designed this one late fall last year, but ended up giving it a huge adjustment just this past January. The blocks will be pretty big and each block features a Dresden in low volume fabrics. A double pointed Dresden! So much work! There’s not even that…

Scrappy 9-patch Quilt – Free Quilt Pattern – In Progress

Scrappy 9-patch Quilt This is a commission quilt I’ve been working on. It was simple and fun and took no time at all really. Plus, it gave me a chance to really get a hold of that purple stash drawer of mine. It’s rammed full as I hardly ever use purples, but seem to collect…

Sugar Bear Quilt – Funshine Bundle – In Progress

  Sugar Bear Quilt I designed Sugar Bear last summer (around June 2020) and I started writing the pattern the following August. It took me forever since the blocks are all so different and I was distracted by other projects, but around December the pattern was complete and I was just waiting for the moment…

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.QuiltyClass.com
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.QuiltyClass.com
This might be the fastest chapter in the whole qui This might be the fastest chapter in the whole quilt 😅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 ✂️quiltyclass.com
Chapter 2 of the Morning Rising Mini Quilt Class i Chapter 2 of the Morning Rising Mini Quilt Class is now available ✂️In this chapter, we’re building the background block that the Dresden plate will eventually sit on, beginning with the center nine-patch and working outward to complete the block.quiltyclass.com

A few little snapshots from Chapter 1 💛 Everythin A few little snapshots from Chapter 1 💛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 quiltyclass.com
