Sew Let's Quilt Along Announcement!

Tuesday, February 26, 2019

Do you remember when I joined a group of bloggers to do the "I Wish You a Merry Quilt Along?" That same group of bloggers did a Fall themed quilt along last year, and this year I'm excited to join them again for "Sew Let's Quilt Along!"

Sew Let's Quilt Along - a sewing and quilting themed quilt along

The theme for this year's quilt along is sewing and quilting!

How to take quilt photos on ANY wall

Sunday, February 24, 2019

So you made a beautiful quilt and want to share it with the quilty world, but how do you take a photo of it??


How to take quilt photos on any wall

Maybe the quilt is too large for a friend to hold. Or maybe you don't have a friend that can help you. Or maybe you don't have any place in your home to photograph it.

Well, look no further! Here's what to do!

Calculator Quilt + Old Book Blog Hop

Friday, February 22, 2019

This week, Bea of Beaquilter is hosting the "Dust Off a Quilt Book" Blog Hop. The idea is to use a quilt book that you've had sitting around on a shelf for awhile, but have never gotten around to making something from it. I *know* you can all relate to that! Just this little push of getting together with some blogging friends for a blog hop helped me move a "want to make" quilt to the top of the done pile!

Little Pink Peonies

Saturday, February 16, 2019

So, I've had this post written since November. But I haven't published it because when I mailed the quilt to my friend, USPS LOST it!! Fast forward three months. I've remade the quilt, mailed it, and my friend received the new one (phew!), so now I can share the saga with you here.

In early November, Hawthorne Supply Co. sent their weekly newsletter just to me. I mean, I'm sure it went to other people too, but really, it was meant just for me.

A friend of mine had a baby in October, and I just couldn't decide what kind of quilt to make her new little girl. However, when the Hawthorne newsletter featured a few of their own fall themed fabrics, I knew it was exactly what my friend would love!

This trendy floral whole cloth quilt with soft minky back is the perfect baby quilt for a girl!

LET'S DO THIS!

The first challenge for the 2019 Island Batik ambassadors is to make a mini quilt. And it just so happens that the third challenge for Project Quilting is to make something bigger than 9" x 16". So it was the perfect time for a two-fer!

I am so excited to share with you that I'm an Island Batik ambassador again this year!

This is my third year as an ambassador, and I already know this year's going to be the best one yet!

The first box of the year (we will get a second box of goodies in the summer) arrived a couple weeks ago, but this time there was a BIG surprise - an equally as large box from Accuquilt!

When the box showed up on my porch, I seriously had no idea it was coming or what was in it!
