Christmas Table Set | Finished Projects

Time for more catching up to do! I enjoy blogging, but it is something that I'm not doing as much. Especially right now, I am just not finishing a lot of projects due to moving, starting work again, homeschooling, and just feeling like I'm overloaded. 

I picked up a half yard bundle of this Kringle and Claus fabric from Basic Grey from work. I just knew it would be nice to make some projects to dress up my table for Christmas time!

First I finished this Lil' Diana table runner pattern from GE Designs. It uses a pack of charm squares or you could use your scraps. I had this cut out in one evening and stitched up the next day! I used stitch #1397 on my Bernina 790 Special Edition, my favorite serpentine stitch. Really one of my favorite for quick quilting.


Next I made up some patchwork placemats using this tutorial from SOTAK Handmade. I love this design for a placemat and will most defiantly making more in the coming months. This work perfectly with little kiddos, especially with using a darker fabric in the center to help conceal stains.


 Finally I made a One Hour Basket. I use this to hold all of our cloth napkins. This is another great way to make your table a bit more festive for the season or holiday that is near. I think a Valentine's basket is in my near future!

I still have plenty of fabric left from my bundle and think I'm going to make a quick and easy Christmas quilt for next year, hopefully!

Did you make any home decor projects for you home for Christmas?

Happy Sewing!

    What cute fabric, and I love the bin! This year I didn't do any Christmas projects for my house, which is a bit unusual compared to other years. I did make more gifts (last minute) this year than others, thuogh!

    Love the placemats and bin. I’m thinking that’s a great idea for napkins and will make one!

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

Let's Catch Up | A Couple of Rainbow Quilts

By
2020 has been one hell of a year! I am trying to make my way back to this space, but I know it will be hit or miss as we get ready to move in a couple of weeks! During my time away I spend a lot of it helping my kiddo with school and stitching up a bunch of new quilts. I still can't believe it has been 2.5 years since we moved to the Upper Peninsula. Now we are moving again, staying in the U.P, just moving closer to my job working at a quilt shop. So of course my oldest daughter wanted to give her two friends quilts before we move, so that meant I needed to get quilting. This first quilt was made with my 2.5 inch square stash. I originally sewed 16-patch blocks, but wanted more of a punch, so I sewed 4, 16-patch blocks together to make one large block. Since I wanted to create a rainbow spectrum, I added the sashing and finished with a border. I love how this one turned out and Nora's friend loved it. One of the perks of my job is access to a long arm machine! I am really start
