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 ever stalk the mail man or the UPS guy (lady)? I do. I love getting packages, especially when they are filled with pretty things. I had been doing really well about not adding much fabric to what I already have but… Liberty gets me! It does. And then I’m browsing the J&V site, and one...
I know I told you I would have this post up yesterday, but the weather was super dreary on Wednesday, so getting any good pictures would have been next to impossible. I hope waiting an extra day is worth it! I haven’t been doing much garment sewing lately, and I think that’s because my sewing...
A couple of weeks ago I got a custom order for a Super Tote (pattern from Noodlehead). We went back and forth on fabrics and finally decided that Michael Miller’s Glitz fabrics were the perfect choice. My client actually decided on all the placement, so I can’t take a bit of credit for that. Isn’t...
We’re ready for step two in our Opposites Attract quilt along. Do you have your materials? Have you gotten the pattern? If so, you are ready to start cutting. Once you have determined your layout (using one of the diagrams provided, or from filling out your own using the coloring page), you will know what...
Welcome to Olivia Jane Handcrafted! I'm Meredith and this is my creative journal. Here you'll find loads of inspiration for a handmade wardrobe, home decor, bags, and quilts. I even have plenty of projects and tutorials to get you started or help you along the way.
This is so gorgeous. I don’t think I could walk on it ; )
You drain dishes on it. Not walk on it. I have been making small quilts for years for this purpose. Really dresses up your kitchen.
What a great idea! I hadn’t thought of making one to use as a drying mat.
They really hold up well! I keep Olivia’s water bowl right there, which Wallace tips over once a day. The mat really soaks it up and handles washes very well. :) You need one!
Thank you for this Meredith. I don’t usually quilt but this looks so nice and is not too large or complicated. Seems like a good first “serious” project for me. I’m already looking forward to doing some fabric matching!
Wonderful! Its an awesome way to use up those triangle bits for sure, which we seems end up with one way or another. :) Happy crafting!
