The Sawtooth Star Chronicles : P1

July 2, 2014

Layla and I used to spend heaps of time together. We had all the time in the world to ourselves before little Wallace arrived. Now our time spent together has to be a bit more “on purpose”, if you will. So we decided it would be fun to have our own special project that we…

In 2013 I participated in a pay it forward challenge on Instagram. I was to make items for four people in hopes that they would also pay it forward and do the same for others. I’ve completed most of my items, and today I’m showing off what I made for the friend who got me…

Its a paper piecing pattern, which if you are anything like…

I love the pattern & would eventually make the whole quilt, but I’d probably start out with a table topper. Thanks for the chance to win.ReplyCancel
MarianaSeptember 11, 2013 - 6:10 am

I’d love to make a tote for me!ReplyCancel
Meghan eschbaughSeptember 11, 2013 - 7:56 am

I would LOVE to make this quilt!ReplyCancel
WhitneySeptember 11, 2013 - 8:12 am

SUCH a beautiful quilt!! I would LOVE to try my hand at making a quilt as well.. I won’t look as beautiful as yours but I would love to try!ReplyCancel
DeborahGunSeptember 11, 2013 - 8:17 am

I would definitely make the quilt – just love this pattern.ReplyCancel
TeresaSeptember 11, 2013 - 8:54 am

Oooh…I have a messenger bag pattern that would look great with this feather quilt.ReplyCancel
CarlaSeptember 11, 2013 - 8:55 am

Oooooh I would love to make the quilt! It’s fabulous. Thank youReplyCancel
Steph BlairSeptember 11, 2013 - 9:12 am

I’d start with a bag – just won a couple of yards of legacy from Angela Waters, and It’s look fab!ReplyCancel
Jennifer PerkinsSeptember 11, 2013 - 9:27 am

I’ve never paper pieced, but I wouldn’t mind starting with that pattern! Cute pot holders! Love all her fabrics!ReplyCancel
Kim JohnsonSeptember 11, 2013 - 10:13 am

I think I would use the pattern on a pillow or purse and then a quilt. It’s beautiful!ReplyCancel
JudySeptember 11, 2013 - 10:16 am

I love the pot holders you made and since I need practice with piecing and quilting, I’d start with these. Thanks for the give away!ReplyCancel
lynnSeptember 11, 2013 - 10:18 am

i’d try a pillow first, but the full quilt pattern is so lovely! the potholders rock!!ReplyCancel
wendySeptember 11, 2013 - 10:22 am

I think I’d want to make the quilt, but not sure if that would be too much paper piecing, so perhaps a cushion or twoReplyCancel
Jacklynn GrimmSeptember 11, 2013 - 10:27 am

I think I would take one of the rows and make a table runner. Thanks for the give away!ReplyCancel
KathleenSeptember 11, 2013 - 10:36 am

Love your potholders! I tried the triple layer deal like you once and found it difficult to quilt. I think one insulbrite and one warm and natural is sufficient. Would love to be a winner :)ReplyCancel
MoeWestSeptember 11, 2013 - 10:51 am

I think I would start off small like you did and make potholders and a matching linen tea towel with feathers down the middle. I really like the quilt too!ReplyCancel
Marci GirlSeptember 11, 2013 - 11:01 am

I would make a handbag for sure. Your potholders turned out so cute, but I know what you mean about quilting when it is so darn thick, impossible to keep those straight lines perfect!ReplyCancel
Kim MSeptember 11, 2013 - 11:03 am

I’m just getting into quilting so I would use the pattern for a quilt! I’d love to learn paper-piecing!ReplyCancel
WensSeptember 11, 2013 - 11:08 am

Ooh I’d make a GIANT quilt for myself! I love this pattern, and I love the fabrics you used! Awesome :)ReplyCancel
Shawn JSeptember 11, 2013 - 12:05 pm

I think it would look great as a tote or wall hanging.

I love it! I’d love to make a quilt but realistically I think a tote bag!!ReplyCancel
AlexandraSeptember 11, 2013 - 12:40 pm

I have been looking for a quilt to make for my bed for about six months now, but none have grabbed me quite like this one! I would make a queen size quilt with one OVERSIZED arrow on the back and a few throw pillows like the ones pictures on Alison Glass’s site. Thank you for the chance to win! Your blog and others like it make my desk job a lot more fun during lunch breaks! :)ReplyCancel
Michelle kSeptember 11, 2013 - 12:40 pm

I love this pattern! Thank you for the chance to win it. I don’t think I would make the whole quilt, but never say never. I would definitely be using it in smaller proportions for pillows, purses and maybe clothing embellishment.ReplyCancel
Ali MSeptember 11, 2013 - 12:52 pm

Wow er, I just realized I’m dating somebody who does archery, and for some reason I didnt even think I could somehow translate the fabric into something for him with the pattern (feeling silly) I’m making him a pillow with Moda’s Lush Uptown Deer in the woods paint by number fabric, and I think there will have to be a quill on the back!ReplyCancel
Elizabeth JSeptember 11, 2013 - 1:07 pm

The quilt would be fabulous, but I’m thinking that my living room couch pillows need an update!ReplyCancel
DariaSeptember 11, 2013 - 1:09 pm

What a quickie way to love the pattern and try it, too!
Think I might try it out in a Mug Rug. ReplyCancel

really lovely pattern, i’d make a wall hanging, it’s a great pattern for showing off your favorite colorsReplyCancel
Karen BSeptember 11, 2013 - 2:22 pm

Cute pot holders! I am shy about using blue, but you pulled it off very well! I would love to make the quilt.ReplyCancel
MargaretSeptember 11, 2013 - 3:25 pm

I’d love to make the quilt, but I can see myself using the pattern to make a tote bag and zipper pouches.ReplyCancel
Melissa HSeptember 11, 2013 - 3:56 pm

I’m not a quilter, but this quilt actually inspires me to make one. I love the retro meets modern feel of the pattern, which I can picture in tons of cute quilting prints I’ve seen lately! (Love your lace dress post, too, btw)ReplyCancel

I would first make a zip pouch like the one on the blog tour, the pattern really goes with hand stitching.ReplyCancel
Jessica YoungSeptember 11, 2013 - 7:21 pm

OMG I love this pattern! I would first make a tote bag as a girl for my my sisters upcoming birthday! I’m sure I would make a quilt once I get some of my other ongoing projects finished.
Thank you for the chance to win!!

Embroidered Linen Picnic Quilt

August 26, 2013

A few weeks ago, Layla asked me if I would make a quilt so we could go on picnics. That seemed like a perfectly reasonable excuse to stock up on Anna Maria’s Field Study linen, which I did, because, hey, why not? After seeing KelbySews quilt, I was inspired to go with a simple patchwork…

You have been busy! Looks great.ReplyCancel
MariannAugust 26, 2013 - 8:00 am

I always alternate pressing my seams when sewing my rows together. Makes it so easy to machine quilt.
You are one brave lady to hand quilt a picnic throw!
As always, your quilt is amazingly beautiful! The photos of Laya are the cherry on the sundae! Luv ya!ReplyCancel

  Love Layla’s photos. (brain thinks faster than I type!)ReplyCancel
CarlaAugust 26, 2013 - 10:45 am

An absolute fabulous quilt! So pretty and with embroidery to boot!ReplyCancel
CherylAugust 26, 2013 - 10:56 am

Your quilt is beautiful! When you hand quilt, do you start in the center? Or any special format? I really like the pattern.ReplyCancel
Christen @ Love By HandAugust 26, 2013 - 12:55 pm

Hi! Absolutely love this quilt! I too am planning a picnic quilt, and I was wondering, with the weight of the linen, if you used batting in the quilt? I’ve seen a few with and without batting. Thanks!ReplyCancel
- MeredithAugust 26, 2013 - 9:33 pm
  
  Hi there! I did use batting. Its a heavier weight, and I think its perfect for picnicking. Also, the weight helped it to stay down on a windy day, which was great!ReplyCancel
trilliumAugust 28, 2013 - 10:43 am

Such a pretty quilt! I will have to try pressing seams like that on my next quilt. I’ve always opened them flat.

Thanks for the tip about the pearl cotton. I love to embroider and the embroidery you have completed looks great. Those bright colors match with the linen.ReplyCancel
AdrianneAugust 29, 2013 - 6:14 pm

This is such an utterly gorgeous quilt! I absolutely adore the backing – the print is wonderful. I hope I can get my hands on some soon!ReplyCancel
Lisa StahlSeptember 9, 2013 - 11:02 pm

This quilt is beautiful! We always us this old moth-eaten blanket to lay in the grass on and play with the dogs. I think I’ll be making something new for this purpose!!

Lisa

PS. Layla is just adorable!! I miss that age.ReplyCancel
