Rainbow Fancy Forest | A Finished Quilt

Image
By

so this quilt has been completed for a few weeks, i just haven't gotten around to posting about it. this year seems to be the year of sewing Elizabeth Hartman patterns. that probably has something to do with Gnome Angel's Elizabeth Hartman Sew-A-Long, but i will take it. since it seems to be a trend with me to own her patterns for awhile before i actual stitch it up.

for my version of Fancy Forest, i knew i wanted to add in plenty of color, but still do the small quilt. so that meant not following to pattern for picking colors (go figure i decide to go against the grain) but i love my rainbow version.

this is yet another stash busting quilting. minus the background this quilt came from my stash and it felt wonderful sewing with some of my favorite fabrics. there is plenty of Lizzy House, Alison Glass, Cotton+Steel, Kaffe Fassett, and others. for the background i used Essex Yarn Dyed Linen in Indigo.

i can't wait to hang this in my bedroom, whenever it gets painted, hopefully soon.

Quilt Stats:
Pattern: Fancy Forest by Elizabeth Hartman
Dimensions: 35 inches x 47 inches
Quilting: Straight Line, random plaid
Fabrics: Lizzy House, Alison Glass, Cotton+Steel, Kaffe Fassett, and Essex Yarn Dyed Linen

    It's beautiful! I think the yellow bunny may be my favorite. It's fun to see such bright colors all together!

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

Bonnie & Camille Sampler Quilt | A Finished Quilt

By
so last year i taught a BOM at my local quilt shop. i had already made up the sample quilt, so i needed to make blocks along with my students. well thank goodness for a couple of Bonnie & Camille layer cakes just waiting for the perfect project. the blocks are for the Vice Versa Sampler Quilt from AnnaMarie Chaney ( here is my original quilt ) but this time i decided use the Bonfire Sampler (also from AnnaMarie Chaney) setting for this set of blocks. i love those big HST they just work for this quilt! i just love this quilt and always knew it would be given to someone. i just didn't know who that someone would be. well as i was quilting this up, it finally occurred to me who i would send this along too. when we moved, one of the girl's church grandmas was rather heartbroken that we were moving. so i sent this to her as a surprise and when it showed up she called telling me that this just made her day! and that right there is why i quilt!
