Bonnie & Camille Churn Dash Quilt | A Finished Quilt | Scrap Project 4 | 2019 FAL

By



Did I see this coming or what! I only managed to complete one project from my Q2 2019 FAL list! The weather the last few months has been pretty nice, at least in my area of the UP. So I have been outside and enjoying the weather while it is here. Plus I started training for a half marathon in October, so that has really forced me to be outside and not at my sewing machine all the time.


I love a quilt that is made entirely of scraps! All of the Bonnie & Camille fabric came from my Vice Versa B&C sampler quilt I made a few years ago. And like most of my quilt tops this one sat around for awhile.

I've been getting the itch to try my hand at hand quilting. Especially after watching Suzy Quilts video on how to hand quilt. I figured, now is the time to give it a go. I LOVE hand quilting! Sure it takes a little longer, but I love the meditative quality of rocking your needle back and forth. Plus I can sit with my family and watch movies or TV together. Plus now that it is warmer, I can sit on my porch and quilt!


Sure my hand stitching isn't perfect, but I don't care! The only way to get better at something is to keep trying. Of course, now I am looking at all of my quilt tops and trying to figure out ones to add hand quilting too.


Now I only have 4 quilt tops to finish! My pile is getting smaller and I'm trying really hard not to start new quilts before I finish these. (Minus the wedding quilt I decided I had to do) I think by the end of the year I should have all of my quilt tops finished and ready for use or gifting!

Happy Stitching!

    What a pretty and colorful quilt. Your hand-quilting does look great. It is difficult to not start a new quilt before finishing one, isn't it?

      Thank you! Yes, it is very difficult not to start new projects before finishing old ones.

    The hand quilting adds such great detail and the piano key border is lovely. Thank you for participating in the FAL, on behalf of the 2019 global FAL hosts.

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!
