I love Instagram. I love being able to communicate with crafty friends instantly and see updates on sewing projects throughout the day. Its like Facebook, only I’m interested in looking! I stumbled across Flowery in Hand (@yyifl) a few months ago, and had to follow because her profile was filled with these amazing Liberty print...
Thanks for entering the Color Plus Quilt pattern giveaway! Its seems like most of us want to change out our bed quilts, but we give them away before we can build up a collection. I think that’s a big reason we do what we do, however. So we’re not at a loss! Congratulations, Auschick! I’ll email...
I can’t believe I never blogged about this, but last year I got the privilege of working with Alison Glass on one of her new quilt patterns. Well, she wrote the pattern and all that, but she let me make the quilt on the cover of the paper pattern! (And Angela Walters quilted it! How...
I love this pattern!
We recently moved and were using a white coverlet on our bed with an smaller quilt for color. I’m super tired of the smaller quilt. Often times I will just put the smaller quilt on the bench and the bed looks cleaner. I always need the back of the quilt to be something I really like because I need to switch things around often.ReplyCancel
We allow our dog on our bed (very bad habit) so we just have a target quilt cover…something that won’t pain me to wash weekly and see “dissolve” over time. I would hate to see something I made get so worn out, but I’ve recently decided to get over it and I’m making a scrappy quilt as a test run. It is something I won’t mind if the dog stains it or if the washing machine wears it down.ReplyCancel
Your work is inspiring. Years ago I made a quilt for my sister, who took it with her when she married, who shared it with her son when he married and I think it died from overwork. I used to love changing the quilts when I changed the sheets, often picking sheets that would go with a quilt. I’m on Long Island, NY and last years blizzard, nor’easter & all other gifts of nature ended up flooding our basement and we lost so many things. Sometimes it’s the memories of happy events with the lost items that hits the hardest. Among the carnage were my quilts. My DH went to get me one since he knew that since I was bedridden, I wouldn’t be able to make one. So now it’s one. He also gave me a quilt stand & I think of it as a reason to keep working on my recovery so one day I can I can fill it. :-)ReplyCancel
Sadly… I have a scruffy old coverlet from HomeGoods on my bed and have for years :(
I give away everything I make as fast as its finished. None of my immediate family has anything. Its all extended family and paid commission work. Think I need to re-evaluate my priorities! What is it they say, the cobblers kids have no shoes???ReplyCancel
I would *like* to have quilts to change out on my bed but that means I have to make another quilt for me and stop giving them away or selling them! I do however change out my lap quilts on the couch with the seasons….. Christmas is my favourite so sometimes it sits until march but this year I hope to make a valentine’s quilt…
thanks for the chance to win!ReplyCancel
I switch the quilts around on all the beds in the house. julie.mckay@xtra.co.nzReplyCancel

Welcome to the Feather Quilt portion of the Alison Glass Blog Tour! Today I want to show you a project I made using Alison’s fabulous new Feathers Quilt pattern, the brainchild of Alison and Nydia (The ADD Crafter). The pattern is so, so awesome. Its a paper piecing pattern, which if you are anything like...
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
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
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!!

Wow! Those are gorgeous! I think the Wiltshire is my favorite!
I’m following on Facebook!
Liked on FB – how could you not?! She has some gorgeous cases!!!
I visited her Etsy site because, coincidentally, I’m in the market for a new cover. Have grown disenchanted with my Otter Box and want something simple, but striking. Just need to figure out if her covers work on an I5. Am thinking I will be the envy of my quilt guild with such a very special cover, truly!!! Thanks for the chance to win.
These are so beautiful! How could you possibly only pick one? :) I love Deben and Lodden!
I love the red Theberton!! They are all so pretty! Would like to have them all !!!
I like them on Facebook. SO CUTE!
So happy to have a Liberty Lover to now follow on Instagram! It has to be the Betsy Green, one of my all time favorites! Great post Meredith, thanks for the link to a wonderful maker!
I’m following her on Instagram- it’s so hard to pick just one, but I think my favorite is Betsy Ann in red!
I liked the Facebook page and followed on Instagram!
It’s hard to pick just one– but I really like Betsy in blue. I’ve always wished for some of that fabric!
Oooff! Such pretty cases, it’s hard to choose. I think Rochester in Blue is my favorite though.
oh meredith! this is exactly what I’ve been looking for!!
You definitely need one, Emily!
I’m with you. Impossible to pick just one! But if I had to, I’d go with the Tatum in navy. :)
