I had the immense pleasure of working with one of my all time favorite Liberty prints once again over the past couple of weeks. A client requested a custom quilt with this Queue for the Zoo Liberty fabric as the “theme” print, and I went from there. I paired it with this metallic dot from Dear...
I’m beyond thrilled to show off today’s dress! I don’t know if I’ve ever been so excited about a handmade finish. My sister, Emilee, is my best friend. We understand one another on a level other people don’t want to go. :) We trade off on lunch, shopping, and other things, and I think that’s...
I have another Handcrafted project to share with you today! I got the privilege of working with Alison’s upcoming line once again, and this time I paired it with Liberty. This tunic, which is actually my next pattern, was perfect for showcasing Handcrafted and adding that pop of Liberty. These two fabrics play so well...
After making one My Belle with a button down bodice, I just had to have another! I made this one with two prints from Juliana Horner’s Homestead collection which I absolutely love! In fact, as soon as I laid eyes on this blue print, I knew I needed a few yards just for a dress....
Thank you guys so much for your kind words of encouragement the other day. I guess we probably all have days of self doubt. The important thing is to just keep going. I started sewing because I thought it would be fun and rewarding to make something with my own hands. I kept sewing because I...

Wow- this quilt is perfect in every way. I love your choice of the gold dotted fabric for sashing the Liberty print. I am a big fan of the quilting cotton “Lifestyle” Liberty prints that came out within the last few years- I am dying to know if they’ll be doing it again anytime soon because the prints were gorgeous and affordable!
Love love love! Such gorgeous saturated colours Meredith! Particularly love your hand stitching – perfection!,
so pretty and pink!!
Beautiful, I really love the colours. x
Would you mind sharing the dimensions of the blocks? I’m working on a similar project but can’t seem to get the math right to make the patch blocks match the bigger blocks. Beautiful quilt!!
[…] hope the brand new baby loves her quilt just as much as her big sis loved hers! It was so special for me to be able to make this, and I can say with certainty it is one of my […]
Do uou know the name of this patern?
This is a pattern I just made. I’m happy to tell you all the block dimensions if it helps! The sixteen patch blocks are made up of 16 2.5″ (unfinished) squares that end up at 8.5″ unfinished. The two fabric blocks are made up of a 4.5″ center (unfinished) square 2 2.5×4.5″ (unfinished) strips on either side, and 2 2.5″x8.5″ strips on the top and bottom which also ends up as an 8.5″ unfinished block. I hope that helps!
i AM crazy about Christmas and think this pattern would look great in Christmas fabrics.
I love this!!!! Do you have a pattern?
Thanks,
Tina
No pattern, but a few comments before this I told Michelle just how to make it! :)
What a gorgeous quilt! You did a wonderful job on it!
