I was recently asked to be a part of the Traveling Threads Bee which is a small group of women who are mailing out blocks each month on a circuit. At the end of the year, the blocks and the additions made by the group will circle their way back to the original owners who...

Oh you were wrong about us other ladies not struggling, I did, but in the end, just “let it go” and went with it, I like you usually want to be in control of every last detail, but since this traveling quilt is totally out of my control, I figured oh well and just picked something! I’m certainly curious what the year will bring!ReplyCancel

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

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 - Kathleen DalecioMarch 8, 2015 - 5:44 pm

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
The past couple of weeks have been bumpy ones for me. But despite the demise of my machine, I’ve been sewing as much as I can on one I’m borrowing from a friend. Its not the same, but its doing the job. I’m terribly excited to show you some of the big projects I’ve been working...

These are so cute and look super easy to sew. Watch out scraps, here I come!
These are really cute, the only problem I have with the cloth coasters is that they are so absorbent and I have a glass of ice water or tea with me at all times. I could probably go thru a couple of dozen of these in a day!! LOL What would be a good suggestion for something to either go in the middle or on the bottom to be water proof for your furniture? Otherwise, I really like them.
Hi there, Judy. I only have glass cups that sweat a ton too, which is why I make my coasters with cloth. I use a layer of 100% cotton batting in the middle, and have never experienced a leak or wet furniture. I’ve been using the same set for about five years. If you are really concerned with the coasters soaking and leaking, try using a double layer of batting, and just be sure it is 100% cotton. My favorite is Warm N Natural. Happy crafting!
it’s about time to start on some scrap busting projects and this looks like a good and easy one. who can’t use a set of coasters!
thanks for the idea.

Wouldn’t it be more accurate to call these quarter square triangles?
either way, super cute, and thanks for the tutorial.
I refer to them as Half Square Triangles because they are scraps from making HSTs. But yes, in this project, I am using them as quarter squares to make the coasters.
New to embroidery. Happy to find this site.
