I made the CUTEST thing! (TTMT #895 Quilting & Sewing Vlog)

2 Replies

Y’all! I made THE CUTEST THING!

I had the idea to make a cat themed book after finishing the two soft books made from quilt panels. These cats are EXTRA special and were created using Cricut Design Space’s extensive collection of cat images as well as a few tweaks of my own.

I have a Maker 3, which isn’t made anymore, but you can get the same results with any Cricut supported cuting machine.

The images themselves are made using a variety of HTV colors and even brands. I also used my Brother embroidery machine to create decorative frames for each page.

Happy Tuesday, friends!

I’ve taken a minor detour away from patterned projects this week to work on something that is strictly fun! I made two soft books using fabric panels intended for quilting and picked up a new book that I’m excited to dive into!

This week finds me making a few more baby things. I’ve been feeling a bit off over the last week, so I’m especially happy to have a place where I can sew and regroup. Please stay until the end for an extra special cat cameo!

I used a Butterick 4791 (2001) for the hat. It’s out of print, but there were a few out there when I searched for the pattern.

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!

Free Dice for machine embroidery from Kreative Kiwi

Perennial Pleasures free pattern to paper piece (butterfly pattern). The fox was designed for the baby quilt. I will not be sharing the pattern. ♥

Hello, friends!

I spent most of last week visiting my bff, Jewells (@nmjewells on YouTube), in Albuquerque, NM! I joined her for Paper Piecing Club at Hip Stitch, we stitched (both hand & machine), did loads of thrifting, chatted endlessly, and just generally had some BFF soul restoration time!

I links below. If you’re curious about a specific fabric shown here, just let me know and I’ll share if I can.

Hip Stitch
2320 Wisconsin St., NE
Albuquerque, NM 87110

Look for ReCreate IN STORE only at Hip Stitch for amazing deals on previously owned fabrics and craft supplies.

Perennial Pleasure free pattern to paper piece. The fox was designed for the baby quilt. I will not be sharing the pattern. ♥
