Last week was one of those do random things in between everything else I had to do weeks. I talk about bibs, blouses, binding, something fun for my hair, and Ikea fabric!
Simply The Best Sewing Book is where the patternless pattern for my blouse is from (my copy is from 1988, but there are quite a few versions out there)
Y’all, I had the hardest time deciding on a title for today’s video! I worked on several VERY different projects and have 3 fun finishes to share. The baby quilt is done, I did a complete rework of a thrift flip, and I share a fun project made (mostly) with my embroidery machine!
Happy Tuesday, friends! This week, I chat about quilting the fox baby quilt as well as pulling out a UFO from a couple of years ago to finish up as a gift.
Stay for some fandom quilting story telling as well as ancient t-shirt mending!
I have a just a little bit of show & tell today with an extra bit of chat. The baby quilt top is pieced, and I made two more bibs. Stay to the end of for a very thirsty hummingbird!
Hello, friends! My HST top is now quilted! I left it on my Gracie King frame (currently set up for Queen size) to show you my quilting setup. I also chat about fabric at my local Michael’s and tease an upcoming project.
I used Pellon 100% cotton batting in my quilt purchased at Michael’s.
The video looks long, but I only talk until 7:34:21. The rest of the video shows one pass of quilting with the Q’Nique. My machine is not computerized and I love Free Motion Quilting (FMQ) so that’s what you get to see! It’s been a while since I quilted and I forgot to use my lint roller first which I am sure you’ll notice by my left hand regularly guest starring to pick lint off the top.
Hello, friends! I got on a roll with my final quilt blocks and ended up piecing the top over the weekend. I LOVE the way the sampler blocks work together and am hoping to have the back pieced some time this week.
This week I chat about finishing 4 more HSTs for my scrap quilt (almost there!), and upcycling a sheet and thrifted fabric (maybe a sari?) to make my version of the Jiffy Wrap Blouse.
