Embroidered Linen Picnic Quilt

August 26, 2013

A few weeks ago, Layla asked me if I would make a quilt so we could go on picnics. That seemed like a perfectly reasonable excuse to stock up on Anna Maria’s Field Study linen, which I did, because, hey, why not? After seeing KelbySews quilt, I was inspired to go with a simple patchwork...

You have been busy! Looks great.ReplyCancel
MariannAugust 26, 2013 - 8:00 am
I always alternate pressing my seams when sewing my rows together. Makes it so easy to machine quilt.
You are one brave lady to hand quilt a picnic throw!
As always, your quilt is amazingly beautiful! The photos of Laya are the cherry on the sundae! Luv ya!ReplyCancel

  Love Layla’s photos. (brain thinks faster than I type!)ReplyCancel

An absolute fabulous quilt! So pretty and with embroidery to boot!ReplyCancel
CherylAugust 26, 2013 - 10:56 am
Your quilt is beautiful! When you hand quilt, do you start in the center? Or any special format? I really like the pattern.ReplyCancel
Christen @ Love By HandAugust 26, 2013 - 12:55 pm
Hi! Absolutely love this quilt! I too am planning a picnic quilt, and I was wondering, with the weight of the linen, if you used batting in the quilt? I’ve seen a few with and without batting. Thanks!ReplyCancel
- MeredithAugust 26, 2013 - 9:33 pm
  Hi there! I did use batting. Its a heavier weight, and I think its perfect for picnicking. Also, the weight helped it to stay down on a windy day, which was great!ReplyCancel

Such a pretty quilt! I will have to try pressing seams like that on my next quilt. I’ve always opened them flat.

Thanks for the tip about the pearl cotton. I love to embroider and the embroidery you have completed looks great. Those bright colors match with the linen.ReplyCancel
AdrianneAugust 29, 2013 - 6:14 pm
This is such an utterly gorgeous quilt! I absolutely adore the backing – the print is wonderful. I hope I can get my hands on some soon!ReplyCancel
Lisa StahlSeptember 9, 2013 - 11:02 pm
This quilt is beautiful! We always us this old moth-eaten blanket to lay in the grass on and play with the dogs. I think I’ll be making something new for this purpose!!

PS. Layla is just adorable!! I miss that age.ReplyCancel

Cute skirt! I’d use the fabric in quilts–any of them! I usually make scrappy quilts and this fabric would add a different texture to a quilt–that’s how I’d use it–to give a different feel to a scrappy quilt. Thanks for the chance!ReplyCancel
Emily CAugust 19, 2013 - 11:04 am

KathrynAugust 20, 2013 - 5:42 am
I love your skirt! It’s great to showcase a lovely fabric like that with a simple pattern, and I’m sure you’ll get so much wear out it too.

I’m so glad you are on this tour so I could find your blog. I just love your daughter’s bedroom makeover and will follow along to see what else you have cooking! These prints are divine…with 2 yds I could make a Staple dress (possibly for my daughter), or a Roman blind for my sewing room window that is letting too much sunlight in (I’m worried about fading my stash). Great job on your skirt!ReplyCancel

Right Turn Bag : Homage to Anna Maria

June 11, 2013

I have been wanting to make this bag for months! I’ve checked the Janome + Anna Maria site almost daily waiting for its debut. Last week, when Pierette announced that the pattern was up, I dropped all plans, and focused entirely on the Right Turn Bag. It was such fun to pull fabrics and ribbons for...
