Washable Travel Coloring Mat with Color Me Fabric

Image
By

When I saw Crystal's tutorial for a travel coloring mat made with the Color Me Fabric, I just knew I had to make one for my 3 year old. Her tutorial was is very nicely written and is very easy to follow.

Nora loves coloring, so this is the perfect, since I can let her color it and then throw it in the wash and it's ready for coloring again. This has been Nora's favorite Christmas gift

I pre-washed all of my fabrics so there would be no shrinking when washing. The Ultra Washable Crayola markers work great and come out in the wash. I wash the mat on a cold cycle and let it air dry. (Note: sometime the orange and red don't always come out completely this is why I air dry, so I don't set the colors.)




 It has been quite fun watching Nora color and seeing her coloring improve each time I wash her mat. I should probably make another one so I have a spare in my bag at all times.

Happy Sewing!

      Well I currently have enough Color Me fabric to make 3 more, so I'm sure we could arrange something!

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...

Coming Back to the Blog

By
 Has it been almost 3 years since my last post? Why yes it has! Time sure does fly, a quick move and a new job for me, homeschooling during the pandemic, kids back at school, and I'm finally feeling back in a groove. A lot can change in 3 years!  It feels like now is the time to come back to blog and share my quilts and projects a little more in depth than I can on FB or Instagram. Plus I just haven't been enjoying spending time on social media as of late. My feed is cluttered with junk that I just don't care about. So it time to come back to this space and share here once again. I'll still post on my socials, but this will be my home base once again.   I am looking forward to sharing my quilting journey in the coming year. My goal for 2024 is to share my quilting journey as I work with my new longarm and create t-shirt quilts for clients as well as make projects from my sewing closet. Looking forward to being in this space again. Happy Sewing Friends!

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...
