I love to applique! It’s such a fun way to liven up a project… just about any project. To prove it, I made a list of my 10 favorite places to put an applique. All the patterns in this blog post are free, too. Just click on the photos below to get them. So let’s countdown…
I love the spool block. It’s the quilt that a quilter makes for herself. 🙂
This easy quilt block tutorial includes cutting instructions for the 18” block (like I made) and a 12” block.
She caught a frog on the other side of the fence. Fun for a minute and then she realized…
I’m so excited! Just For You – my new book with 24 projects from 21 amazing bloggers is releasing really soon… it will be available on Amazon starting November 1st and from C&T Publishing (and maybe your local quilt shop) on October 15th!
To celebrate, we’re planning lots of fun stuff. So let’s start it all with a giveaway, right?
I first learned about the quilters of Gee’s Bend a couple years ago, African-American women from a community in deep-South Alabama that was isolated for many years. They made quilts to keep their children and grandchildren warm and did it without rotary cutters, mats, or fancy sewing machines.
We skipped a couple months, but guess what? I have another fun applique for you! In June I thought my sewing machine applique was the cutest one I’ll ever make, but I take that back. Now I think this texty typewriter applique is the cutest one I’ll ever do.
For the last couple of months, I have really wanted to sew a peplum top. I love tee shirts that have something fun and dressier about them, so this was perfect. I picked McCalls 6754 because of the princess seams and raglan sleeves – two of my favorite details.
Who doesn’t love a patchwork skirt? I’m so excited about the way that my little skirt turned out I could burst! I used the Night Circus Skirt pattern from our new book (Just For You: Selfish Sewing From Your Favorite SewCanShe bloggers… only $14.99 for the eBook that includes patterns) and jelly-roll sized strips of the new Turkish Delight by Josephine Kimberling for Blend Fabrics.
This post is about a WIP (work in progress). I’ve been wanting to show you this adorable baby quilt for so long. I’m finally going to just put it out there even though… my quilt is not done.
I’m so excited, I finished my Rail Fence Quilt. It’s super scrappy, super bright and fun, and it’s the first thing I quilted on my new (to me) Grace Frame.
