Friday Finishes

Lately I have not been very good at posting about my latest sewing ventures. I have been sewing a lot in fact, just not writing. I guess that happens when you have an almost 3 year old and a 7 month old baby. This is just part of this season of life, but I'm trying to make a more concerted effort to write in this space, especially since I'm trying to get a new business idea off the ground.

Without further ado, a few finishes from the last few weeks:

I made this quick and simple baby quilt about two weeks ago for a baby shower. Just used some basic building blocks to make it. Love how it turned out considering I was taking it out of the dryer at 4 in the afternoon the day of the shower! I sure do like to cut it close.

Another baby quilt for a shower I attended last weekend. For this one I used Fat Quarter Shop's free pattern Fat Quarter Fizz and just made the baby size. Best thing about this one, I pulled it entirely from my stash!
And finally I finished up m 1 in a Minion mini for the #minionminiquiltswap on Instagram. I love when the quilt that is in my head works out. I used the Spell it with Fabric for the letters reduced to 50%, created the minion eye pattern myself, and used the paper pieced minion from Fandom in Stitches. Now to just make a few Minion themed extras and I'm set for shipping!

It feels great to get a few projects done, now to just finish up my other WIP's.

Happy Sewing!

Linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish it up Friday.

Mini Modern Maples Cushion Cover | Scrap Project 6

By
Ahh, I just love fall! Hands down my favorite season, especially in the UP. There are a few leaves starting to change color and I'm so excited. I'm looking forward to a color tour in a few weeks and really hope I have a few quilts done so I can take some quilt in the wild photos. So with fall rolling in, I figured I would make a fun little fall inspired cushion cover. And since I've been on small scale sewing kick, I thought a mini modern maple cover was just what I needed for my living room. Plus, lets face it this was just a perfect reason to dig through the scrap bins and use up those small little scraps. My mini maple block finishes at 3 inches and when added to a mini 9 patch block it makes for a lovely scrappy cushion cover. For the quilting a did a orange peel design and while a little wonky, I love it! Lately I've been at a lose as to what I want to quilt on my quilts, so this was a nice change. I quilted this cover on my Janome HD9. This bab

Geometric Captain America Shield : Free Pattern

By
so a couple of months ago, i signed up for the MARVELous Craft Swap through Instagram hosted by  @justjoshinkids . what i love about swaps is the chance to try something new. for this swap i wanted to try and design a paper pieced pattern based on Captain America's Shield. and taking my inspiration from @quietplay i made the pattern geometric, so i could make the shield more scrappy in nature. i used the free quilt design program called QuiltAssistant to design my pattern. after figuring out what the heck i was doing, i finally landed on a pattern that worked. with a few minor tweaks here and there, i am happy how it turned out. the pattern finishes at 13 inches square, but i slightly oversized it, so i could trim the edges down to 12.5 inches, to finish at 12 inches. I loved designing this pattern and have a few more in the works that I hope to release as well. You can find this pattern on Payhip . This pattern is for personal, not for profit use only. If you do

Modern Green Bay Packers Sampler Quilt | A Finished Quilt

By
  Shortly after we moved to the UP 3 years ago, I was browsing Pinterest as one does and found this quilt . Being originally from the lower peninsula of Michigan that we must be Lion fans. Well I was never really a Lions fan and my husband and I don't watch football at all. We became friends with a couple who love the Packers, so I started pulling fabrics and slowly making blocks. After 3 years in the making it is finally done and our friends love it. During the initial shutdown for COVID-19, I really starting going to town on this quilt. Plus I had my 2020 Triple Block Bee-mates help with the filler cross blocks. This was a nice project that I could just loose myself in. Besides doing virtual schooling with my kiddo, my afternoons were spent in my sewing room. I went through so much stash! I didn't do any planning when I began sewing the blocks, so putting this together was a bit of a challenge. But it was like a giant puzzle and I like how it turned out. Now I have other idea
