Earlier this spring I put together our Azure Skies Quilt Pattern using some Riley Blake solid fabrics that I really loved. And when I was finished I had a pile of scraps that were a variety of lengths but all the same width....and that got me thinking...and the next afternoon I stitched up all the scraps along with the left over white scraps from several quilt backings and BAM! I had a new baby quilt! It was a super quick sew since the pieces were already cut and were all the ... View the Post
Santa (and His Elf) Quilt Pattern
Today I am excited to finally release our Santa (and His Elf) Quilt Pattern! The idea for this quilt came about a year ago when my family was putting together a tree for the "Festival of Trees" (a local festival where trees are sold, through a silent auction, and all proceeds go to our children's hospital). My family does a tree for the festival every year and last year our tree had an elf theme...and every year we pair the tree with a quilt....soooo...an elf inspired quilt was ... View the Post
Azure Skies Quilt Pattern in Solids
I made this quilt awhile back...but haven't shared it yet..it's our Azure Skies Quilt Pattern sewn up in Riley Blake solids! We originally designed this pattern with our Azure Skies fabric line in mind....the florals and graphic prints: But I love it just as much sewn up in the bright Confetti Cottons! This quilt is fairly large, finishing up at about 70" x 75", but comes together rather quickly. And looks great sewn up in florals as well as solids! And I love the ... View the Post

Welcome to Christmas in July! I have wanted to do a Christmas in July series FOREVER but I kept thinking can we do a Christmas in July series during Skirting the Issue?

Today we are starting with something I did last year for Christmas and am planning to do again this year...and that is.... Using my fabric scraps to create all the ... View the Post
Azure Skies Baby Romper
I have been making a few project out of Azure Skies that I am excited to show you. This baby romper is one of them and I was so excited to sew some kid clothes again. I made this for a baby shower and it turned out so cute. I love it. I used a vintage Simplicity pattern (Simplicity to be exact) and did the shorts version. The pattern size was 12 months so she should be able to wear it next summer or even next fall with a shirt and sweater. I did modify the pattern so as not to do snaps, but ... View the Post
Harvest Quilt in Pastel
Recently we released our new Harvest Quilt Pattern which really is a great pattern for those just beginning to quilt. The quick column (vertical row) construction makes it a quick sew and easy to piece together. Plus the large swatches of fabric used makes a fun quilt to showcase larger print fabrics. I've made up several of these quilts and each time I have done it the same way....probably because I over think things waaaaaay to much....but each time I've used swiss dots for ... View the Post
