WiP Wednesday : Scrappy projects

By
Another week, another set of wip's!


I finished piecing the Doctor Who quilt blocks and managed to get them sewn together for a top. I even have my backing fabric prepped, now I just need my girls to cooperate so I can baste while my hubby is at work. I want to surprise him with this quilt on Christmas morning! Wish me luck!!


I started a few postage stamp blocks for my next Quilt the Book projects. I'm going to be making it scrappy and use up some leftover fabric from other quilts. I think it is going to be cute. Who doesn't love Dr. Seuss?!


In my spare sewing moments I have also been working on the Moda Sampler Shuffle. I'm hoping this week I can get caught up.

Well that's all for now, Happy Sewing!

    Your WIP's look great. Good luck finding time to baste. I have a toddler who likes to "help" basting when I don't finish up while he's napping.

      Thanks! My toddler loves "helping" mama if I didn't finish basting as well.

    Really like how the pattern of your first quilt plays with negative space (the whites). Hey, I'm retired and somehow still find excuses for putting off work. I think when something takes up your time, you are more apt to get things done. Enjoy both your little ones and quilting.

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...

2017 New Quilt Blogger Blog Hop

By
for the last several weeks i have been participating in the 2017 New Quilt Bloggers Blog Hop, hosted by Yvonne ( Quilting Jet Girl ), Beth ( Cooking Up Quilts ), and Leanne ( She Can Quilt ). while i have been blogging for a little while, this blog hop has been great to hone my blogging skills and meet other quilt bloggers. i have been crafty most of my life, i even learned to sew when i was younger. but it didn't really stick. after college i was living in Iowa and on a whim i bought a cheap sewing machine and began a back and forth with sewing. fast forward a few years, i got married and pulled that sewing machine out again and this time actually made a quilt top (that sat for at least 3 years before i quilted it). sewing again was pushed to the side as i was finishing my master's program and job hunting.  well after landing a job, moving, looking for a house. we found out we were expecting. though it was not to be and i miscarried in march 2011. during the next ye...

Spellbound Quilted Cushion Covers

By
I'm off to a great start for the third quarter of the finish-a-long . I started these cushion covers back in February, after I purchased the Mini Quick Curve Ruler and wanted to play with it. I have really come to love piecing curves. And these curves are so easy to sew up.  I picked up some Spellbound by Cotton + Steel last fall at my LQS. Since I already had a few Halloween mini quilts, I figured cushions would be perfect for some fall decor (let's be honest this will be on my couch very soon and won't be removed until Thanksgiving!) For each cushion I decided to do a different layout, as I didn't want them to be matchy matchy. The fabric coordinates and that was plenty for me. Once I started quilting them, I was on a roll and didn't want to stop until I had finished these bad boys. I love the curved herringbone of the cushion. For the quilting I did a basic grid style, but didn't fill in all of the blocks and I love the effect. I like the combinat...
