Day One--Cutting Your Fabric Day Two--Making Your Quilt Block Today we are going to be finishing up our quilt top! Wahooooo....it's always an exciting day to finish up a top. Let's get started....remember the pattern? The first thing we need to do today is to put your blocks together into rows. Lay out all your blocks as seen above, but this time you will need to add your 7 1/2 by 2 1/2 white pieces that you cut on day 1 (they are your pieces shown on the right in the picture ...

Indian Summer Quilt Along!
One of the questions that I have been getting lately is where would I begin if I wanted to make a quilt? Well, next week we are going to spend Monday, Wednesday and Friday showing you how to make a quilt top. It should be a fun week....and if you can't sew along, it will still be a good reference for when you do feel like quilting. I pinky promise the pattern is easy (me and my old-school graph paper made it...you bet it's easy). And you will essentially be learning how to make a simple ... View the Post
The Princess and the Pea Quilt Tutorial
And for all of you who know us, once we get a theme in our heads---we can't quite leave it alone. So we made a quilt for our own little princesses to dream of their own story. I love this quilt. It is simple....and made with scraps! What's not to love about that? I did take a few pictures of how I did it....so that you can make your own too. First I cut 2" strips of the leftover fat quarters from the Peggie people story. The fabric is Riley Blake's Willow line. Then ... View the Post
Baby Coin Quilt
(Don't I have the best assistant ever? And thankfully she has a thing for gold shoes as well...) I told you earlier that one of my goals this year was to do a bit more quilting. It's been kind of a full-circle thing, because baby blankets and quilts were some of the first things I started sewing again after my first was born. And it's been really enjoyable to have a quilting project going that I can pick up and leave in between garment sewing. This one was a baby quilt for a cousin's ... View the Post
A Chevron Quilt and some scraps.
Happy Thursday everyone! I don't know what it is about this week, but I am ready for a weekend. I think it might be all the last-minute HUGE school projects that we are trying to get tucked away before the end of the year--but I will be happy when they are turned in and done. It's been a LOT of homework time. Also this week I have been working on some quilting projects. The hexagon quilt is finally back from Melissa's sewing shop and is ready to bind, which I am dying to get done. The ... View the Post
Works in Progress.
While busily finishing up Hannie's Spring look book (which I just have button holes to do on one more item!) I have been slowly working on some other projects. I actually found this quilt top that I started over 2 years ago (it's probably way closer to 3 years ago) that I never finished. It's funny because the fabric would not be my first choice today....but I remember when I bought it I was enthralled with the words written on it. (It was when fabric was just coming out with ...
