I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately. I was losing steam on garment projects and just needed something to break it up and get me excited again. I think that just goes with the territory when I tend to binge sew certain items (ie, clothing, bags, quilts, embroidery….) Also, I’ve not been sewing...
If you are active on Instagram, chances are you’ve witnessed the mini quilt swap craze that’s going on. “Craze” is really putting the whole thing lightly. I managed to avoid it for a while, but I did carefully choose one swap, and was also invited to a very small private swap with some of the most...
I’m so excited about today’s post! RJR asked me to be a part of their What Shade are You blog hop, and I was able to choose a variety of their Cotton Supreme Solids to work with and give away. I picked a variety of melon, pink, and violet shades with some creamy whites mixed in....
lovely palette indeed. i think these would make a good picnic blanket…(in addition to a few others!) im jumping the gun bc its feels like -2 outside…but working with these colors would add cheer to the dreary days! thanks for a chance…i adore your quilt..cant wait to see the hand quiltingReplyCancel
What a pretty bundle. Seems like there’s a lot of solid bundles going on today in my feed reader! I’d use this bundle for a couple fun patchwork zipper bags I sketched up the other day. The more I think about it the neater they’d look with solids instead of prints since they’re such a small scale!ReplyCancel
very nice quilt ty for sharing your idea…..I would make a very nice tote for my self and my daughter…..happyness04431@yahoo.comReplyCancel
Your quilt is gorgeous! I would actually love to try something like that, though I would have to use bigger blocks since my accuracy is not good enough to get down to 1 inch!

This bundle is sooooo pretty! I loved your coordinating prints bundle too- and what a stunning quilt! I’d make a quilt of course, not sure what design yet. I love how you said fast quilts aren’t your thing- what a fresh approach and one that I just might have to adopt! I just finished my first baby quilt and it took forever because I had to make sure I was in love with every aspect- even if that meant redoing things I’d already had done!ReplyCancel
I need to be frequenting your blog, and I’m not! I didn’t know you mostly hand quilt, but I’m excited to poke around your blog and check that out. I’m in a hand sewing class right now, and I hope to start doing much more hand quilting.
I’ve never made a triangle quilt. If I won your bundle, I think I’d like to give that a try. I think I’m ready to take on all the points! (Autocorrect just tried to insert “loins”… that would’ve been a big whoopsie.)ReplyCancel
Your color palette is so Spring and you got me ready too…I found myself throwing my fabric stash all over my furniture yesterday to see what I need to “cheer” up my winter blues. Thank you for your inspiration.
I’d have to make a table runner, pillows and chair pads w/this bundle. Thank you so much!ReplyCancel
I love your version of a Triple Irish Chain quilt! It’s a very traditional pattern which you’ve made modern with your colors! This would be a gorgeous gift for a new baby girl who will be born to my friend’s daughter in May.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work & inspiration and the yummy giveaway opportunity!ReplyCancel
I don’t have pictures for our next step in the Opposites Attract QAL so that post will be up in the next day or two, but I do have a great tutorial for using up some of those HST leftovers! Be sure to cut those carefully, and you’ll have a precut project on your hands...
Do you have your fabrics cut? Today we’re going to begin sewing our blocks. Whether you are sewing a small quilt or a large one, I find it easy to tackle them [the blocks] in batches. Going in the order of the directions in the pattern, I’ve sewn up all the Small Introvert blocks first....

such a beautiful quilt! I am glad it brought you out of your creative rut. I can relate to you and trying to find a new normal. I broke my leg, earlier this month, and needed surgery. It’s been quite the adjustment to not be able to drive, walk or work and have two little ones to comfort too. I keep telling myself “this too shall pass” & “it could be worse”. Looking forward to being able to do it all again! Thank you for sharing your quilt. An Anna Maria Horner quilt is going on my must make list.
stunning!!! the richness of the colours, patterns is incredible.
ps. tell layla i’m a big fan of merida too!
I LOVE both AMH and Liberty! It’s so fun to see these to favorites playing so nicely together. I am inspired!!!
That quilt is beautiful!!
Your beautiful quilt is so inspiring! I love your choice of colours xx
