Opposites Attract + Handcrafted (and a little sale)

October 23, 2014

I wanted to show you my finished Opposites Attract Quilt in Alison Glass’s Handcrafted line, which will be at Market this weekend in her booth! I hand quilted this beauty pretty densely with Perle cotton in the same color order as the quilt was pieced. I love that the colors pop without being overwhelming or...

Queue for the Zoo Quilt

October 14, 2014

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...

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!ReplyCancel

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!!ReplyCancel

  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! ReplyCancel

Handcrafted + Liberty : A New Tunic

October 3, 2014

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...

October 1, 2014

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...

Catching up and a great cause

September 25, 2014

I haven’t been able to get good pictures all week because we’ve had nothing but heavy grey skies. I’ve still been hard at work however. I received a custom order from a good customer for a blanket. She chose the main fabric, and I had total freedom on what to do from there. The quilt...
