wish list #1

Image
I have been doing a little sewing lately, but I would like to be doing a lot of sewing.  There are so many fabrics, notions, books, etc. so I am thinking about adding a weekly (monthly, bi-weekly?) feature of things that I would love to add to my own personal stash.  This will include products from my sponsors, but also products out there that I would just really love to have. To be honest, I think this idea kind of evolved from conversations I have had with my husband about what we would do if we won the Powerball.  Clearly I would buy a lot of fabric ;) The #1 print I would love to add to my stash right now is . . . Buck Forest Twilight by Bonnie Christine for Art Gallery Fabrics.  I loved this print in the original colorways and now it is available in navy.  NAVY.  Love it. Speaking of amazing blue fabrics . . . Grid Diamond Navy from Carkai by Carolyn Friedlander.   Can you tell I am really loving blues?  This is my favorite print from Carka...

blogger bundles

If you haven't already checked it out, Alyce over at Blossom Heart Quilts is hosting a blogger bundle competition with Randi at Fresh Squeezed Fabrics .  I think these kinds of competitions are SO MUCH FUN.  As much as I enjoy all aspects (or at least most aspects) of making a quilt, picking out fabrics is definitely the best part. I wanted to make a mosaic using some of my favorite prints right now.  I knew that I wanted to use the Cosmo Cricket text print ; I love that it has all of these positive words and phrases and it is such a pretty shade of pink.  I also wanted to use an Oh Deer print (because it is so cute!), this Madrona Road print (which I love but I haven't been able to justify buying), and then some coordinating prints and a  solid . I am calling my mosaic Sunshine Road because I love all of the happy colors and words.  I am trying to focus more on the positive things in life and this group of fabrics feels very positive to me :)

Take Shape Chevron Baby Quilt and Scrap Giveaway

Image
This month I used my Culcita Box fabrics to make a chevron baby quilt.  Like I mentioned , these fabrics are a little outside my comfort zone.  As a general rule for myself, I try not to buy fabrics that have a lot of contrast within them.  They are beautiful and some people do beautiful things with them, but I tend to have a hard time using them. But despite being a little nervous about using them, I am so pleased with how the quilt turned out! I ended up omitting the pink circle fabric from the bundle because I wanted something with a little more orange to it, so I subbed in Kona Mango.  I also added a black Art Gallery triangle print that I had in my stash. These are 60 degree chevrons and I quilted it with a random 60 degree grid.   I was happy to find this Katarina Roccella print in my stash for the backing and I used more of the black triangle print for the binding.  I stitched the binding down with Perle cotton. This quilt is now listed in my Etsy s...
