Design Wall Monday: Chains of Love

-

 


Well, this is on my design wall today.  I hope when it's finished that it will look something like this ...



or this ...


I love this pattern.  It is Chains of Love, a free pattern from Jedi Craft Girl.  It's fairly quick and easy and uses only 5 fat quarters and background yardage.  

I'm making mine in reds and pinks for Valentine's Day, but I've seen this made in other colors.  I think it'd make a great baby quilt, maybe in purple or blue.

I don't think I'll have it finished by Valentine's Day on Sunday but February is also Heart Disease Awareness month so I'm okay with getting it finished before the end of the month.

    Hello! Do you still blog about your ebay buys/sells? I thought I remembered reading your blog about ebay in the past but I can't find it.

      Thanks for asking but I don't blog about reselling on eBay anymore. I still have my eBay store but I'm not as active as I used to be. So much has changed and I think Instagram and YouTube is the place to go for selling advice.

Tutorial: Fold and Turn Coasters

-

These fold-and-turn coasters are SO easy and fun to make!  I first saw this pattern in 2002 at a guild meeting, and the instructions were handwritten.  There were no pictures … only hand drawings.  Well, we’ve come a long way in 8 years! I made this set of 4 coasters to include with the potholders I made for Amy’s Potholder Pass #2 . These coasters were made with five 5-inch cotton squares and one 5-inch flannel square.  These can also be made in other sizes as long as the squares are equal in size.  Suggested square sizes range from 4-1/2” to 6” … your choice.  You may also use one 5-inch batting square, but I found batting was a tad too thick.  But, again, your choice. Instructions: (1) Y ou will choose three different fabrics.  Two fabrics will be used for the top of the coaster and one will be used for the bottom (backing).  I chose the light blue for the bottom: (2) Cut fabric to the desired square size.  I us...

Weekly Finish #13: Halloween No Point Stars 2020

  I previously posted about my Halloween No Point Stars top and I am happy to say that I finally finished the quilt ... just in time for Halloween! I used a polyester snow blanket remnant for the batting.  Yes, a snow blanket used for Christmas villages.  This was not originally intentional.  I didn't want to use Warm & Natural as I was not going to use this as a "blanket" but rather as a display/decoration.  I wanted a lightweight batting so I looked through my bin of batting remnants and found what I thought was just right. As I was basting the quilt, I noticed some glitter - not much - just a tiny bit on the "batting".  It finally dawned on me why it felt a little different!  How did this snow blanket get mixed in with my regular batting remnants?  Anyway, I was already halfway done so I decided to go with it. I didn't have any Halloween fabric large enough for a backing but I found this black-and-white toile fabric, which is  actuall...

Weekly Finish #1: Free To Be Wild Horse Panel

-
Image
  Free To Be Wild Finished Size: 67" x 72" I saw this quilt on social media a couple of years ago promoting Riley Blake's Back In The Saddle Collection.  I was immediately captivated and knew I wanted to make it for my daughter. Sadly, this was an older collection, and this particular panel with the black horse was nowhere to be found. However, I found this panel with the running wild horses from the same collection and knew my daughter would love it. In December, I decided to make this quilt for my daughter's birthday this month.  I searched social media for a pattern and found a tutorial for this quilt by Quiltscapes . Luckily, I found the pillow panels from the same collection for the quilt's four corners.  Sewing the top was fast and easy -- just add strips for borders and done. I quilted it with an E2E design from My Creative Stitches and used Warm & Natural for batting. My daughter's birthday is next week.  But she came for a quick visit this past...
