Alright, my friends! I've shown you three of my Deco sample quilts so far, but before I show you the fourth, I want to take a moment to show you pattern tester quilts! In case you missed it, the Deco Quilt pattern is now available! If you haven't already read my initial blog post about the two-color Deco quilt that I made, be sure to check that out here. You'll find my inspiration, pattern sizes fabric requirements and other details about Deco. Every time I release a new pattern into the world, I love to do a blog post all about my pattern testers! This talented group of quilters generously give their time, energy and precious fabric to help me make the best patterns possible! Deco was especially technical, so I had a lot of dialogue around certain topics. We went back and forth on certain sewing instructions, diagrams and overall how the quilt comes together. Let's take a look at their beautiful Deco quilts! First, let's take a look at the testers who are carrying quilt kits. Many of my pattern testers conveniently have online fabric shops, which makes it really easy for you to quickly pick your fabrics and know how it will look before it's finished! QUILTS KITS Mary of @rosiegirlquilts used gorgeous jewel tones to create this masterpiece! They have kits in their shop to recreate this exact quilt, which can be found here. . Laura of @finleyfabric created the most stunning combination of fabrics. I absolutely LOVE the emerald background. I *almost* did something similar for my cover quilt, but I ended up going a different direction. I'm so glad that she took the plunge with this! It really paid off. You can find her kits here. . Claire of @thestitchsaloon is an Australian based shop that ships worldwide! She made a bright and cheery baby quilt and has kits for them in her shop! . LONG ARM DISCOUNT I was extremely excited to have a long-arm quilter test Deco for me! She is so generously offering a 20% off discount to anyone who sends a Deco quilt to her before July 9th. The coupon code is DECO20. Check out her Instagram, @browneyedquilter and/or website for more details. And isn't her quilt stunning? . . Next, we have Katie of @katesmakesandcreates created this gorgeous, kind of moody throw size Deco quilt. She used Kona Leather and Telio Swiss Dot in Rose. An alternative would be Essex Linen in Rose. I absolutely love how this turned out! . Now let's look at Cat, of @workinghandsstudio. She created this really fun baby quilt for the newest addition of their family. :) I really love how the subtle background print adds a little extra *sparkle*! . .Erin, of @lovesewmodern really knocked it out of the park with these colors! That darker background really makes everything else POP. . Claire of @claireandhercrafts helped me do a trial run of a certain concept that I was considering for the pattern. You might notice that her baby quilt includes only Block 3B, where as the final pattern calls for Block 3A. Essentially this means that her quilt is missing one of the tiny squares at the very corner of one of the blocks. I ended up changing my mind on this to add more drama to the quilt, and Claire was so kind to do a test run of the first version so that I could see how it looked. Her quilt is still equally stunning! . Now let's look at Nuria of @fabricstork's baby Deco quilt! She briefly had kits for this but they sold out within a day or two. And rightfully so, isn't this fun?? . . Robin of @seamedtobe created a gorgeous Throw size Deco quilt that is just STUNNING! I loveeee how this looks! She used Kona Leaf and Kona Haze as the background. . Next up, we have Nicki of @wovenandwoolly! She sewed up her quilt before I made a pretty big change in the pattern. If you can see where the corner of her little square are chopped off....that's totally my fault!! (sad day). If you make the baby size, notice that the solid background squares are 1/2

One of the things I love about quilting is mixing old with new. Quilting has been around for centuries, yet we still find ways to
If you've been around since the beginning of Lo & Behold Stitchery, you might remember that key fobs were my JAM. Back in the early days, I cranked out SO many key fobs in all sorts of variations and stocked my Etsy shop with them. They are super fun to make and very quick and rewarding! I eventually phased out of making them for sale, but I do still really enjoy making one from time to time! They make great teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, party favors....whatever you'd like! All you need is some scrap fabric, scrap batting and a key ring (which you probably already have!) Gather all of your supplies and lets get to it! PS - Looking for a printable PDF? I have this tutorial condensed into six lovely, printable pages for your convenience. Download it here. . . Okay, here's what you'll need: Basic sewing supplies (Sewing machine, rotary cutter, cutting mat, scissors, iron, ironing board, etc.) You can find a list of all of my favorite supplies here.

I am so excited to introduce you guys to my favorite, most meaningful quilt pattern yet, Interwoven! I designed this quilt as a gift for my husband. He's been asking for a quilt of his own for the past several years. I've been hesitant to get started on such a project because well, I wanted it to be perfect. The colors, the design, the quilting, everything! If you've seen our home decor, you'd quickly pick up the fact that we love neutrals. Little pops of color here and there are nice, but overall, I love calm and soothing color palates for the majority of our decor. Sometimes grays feel a little too cool for me, but I really love the soft and warm tone of Kona Doeskin. I'd maybe call it more of a tan gray. I paired Doeskin with Kona Snow (always my go-to white), and I knew that I wanted his quilt to contain only these two colors. When brainstorming designs, I wanted to create something timeless. Block-based patterns are nice, but I just didn't picture that kind of quilt on Peter's recliner. I wanted something with depth and movement. Something that made you stop and stare. I love geometry and playing lines and shapes this was a fun challenge for me! I played around with these lines on my computer for several months before I was happy with the overall aesthetic of the quilt. I then turned my plans into action, and I ended up loving it even more than I originally did! And most importantly, he loves it too. :) While I am a huge fan of two color quilts, I know that many of you love color and gradients. I do too, in the right context :) So I decided to introduce a fun color option for this quilt. I toyed around with how to incorporate colors into the quilt. Alternating colors between the lines was an option, but that seemed too busy and circus-like to me. I finally decided on doing a gradient across the horizontal axis of the quilt to give it a entirely different look. Not only do your eyes move with the lines, they also move as the colors fade from top to bottom. Love it! This is such a fun quilt to use with color gradients! The throw size uses eleven colors while the crib size uses nine. I suggest choosing 1-3 colors, then build your various shades from those colors. Both the two color and multi-color versions include instructions for two sizes, Crib (42
The next stop on our Deco Pattern release train is my Ivory Deco quilt! In case you missed it, the Deco Quilt pattern is now available! If you haven't already read my initial blog post about the two-color Deco quilt that I made, be sure to check that out here. You'll find my inspiration, pattern sizes fabric requirements and other details about Deco. This particular Deco quilt was my second iteration of the design. While my first Deco used two colors, I always knew that I wanted to find a way to introduce more colors into the quilt. I began to experiment with how different fabric groupings within the quilt can change the overall appearance of the design. In my many hours of playing around with different combinations, I noticed that there were certain trends that I was gravitating towards. I think this is apparent in my mock-ups in the pattern and the different Deco quilts that I've created. Ultimately, I wanted the center of the quilt to radiate outward and have a
Download the FREE Ombre Puff Quilt Pattern here! If you've been around for any amount of time, you might've seen my Puff Quilt that my grandmother made for me. I love this thing SO much. She used various scrap fabrics and clothing to create this very dense, yet very snuggly quilt. . . . When I look at this quilt, I see something new each time. Recycled tablecloths from the 80s, pieces of my grandfathers button-down shirts, left-over fabrics from previous quilt projects. The list goes on. Some fabrics are used multiple times within the quilt, while other fabrics are only represented once. I love looking over all of the puffs and finding all of the similarities and differences between the squares. . . . My Granny made this for me when I was 7 years old. I absolutely LOVE that she created a tag for this quilt. I also love that she referred to the quilt as a

Gisterenavond weer meegedaan met de speedscrap van Scrapdelight. Dit was de sketch: Ik heb drie foto's (eentje in klein en groot formaat gebruikt) gekozen van Nienke die op een avond ergens heel boos en verdrietig over was. Waarom weet ik niet meer. Wat wel fijn is, is dat ze tegenwoordig bij zo'n bui niet meer volledig door het lint gaat, maar heel zielig stilletjes huilt. Ook niet leuk, maar beter dan zo'n gillende peuterpuber. Ik heb weer veel gebruik gemaakt van mijn Big Shot stansapparaat. Heerlijk voor als je geen bijpassende kleur kant-en-klare bloemen meer hebt. Dit is 'm geworden: Leuk dat je weer even kwam kijken, liefs, Nicolette

I told myself I'd never make another puff quilt. Yet, here I am.....sharing about my second puff quilt. (haha!) Don't get me wrong, I loved the process of making my first puff quilt, which you can read about here, but I honestly thought that we'd never have the need for another one. Well, over the last year, I slowly forgot how much work they are (haha) and I started getting the itch to do the process all over again! Peter uses my original puff quilt alllllll the time. He loves the weight of it, but his only complaint was that it wasn't long enough. I made the

Hello crafty friends, Gloria Parra here today with a new layout featuring the awesome “True Colors” collection. I love the bold patterns and colors, the gorgeous florals and the fun embellishments in this collection. As soon as I saw the viewfinder chipboard frame I knew I had to use it! What I also knew I had to do as soon as I saw the two foam sticker that said “it’s me” and “hi” was to use the famous Taylor Swift song lyric as my title! I started my layout with a white color vibe cardstock. I loved the “Happy to Report” pink striped patterned paper and decided to cut the bold stripes apart and distress them, arranging them a little askew on the left side. Making some of my strips longer and others shorter. I then decided to use two chipboard frames on the right side of my layout. Layering the viewfinder on top of the square one and tucking some florals behind them. I then created three floral clusters on the left side of my strips, like if they were sitting on a shelf. I started my clusters with a big floral ephemera piece and tucked some elements that represent things that I love, such as my planner, watercolors, camera, Frappuccino and crayons. I also tucked 3 paintbrushes in the same color as the bold strip, evoking the feeling that they had been painted. I then created my title using the foam stickers that say “It’s me” “Hi”. To complete my sub-title I used the alpha stickers that you can find in the sticker book. I couldn’t love this title more, we are huge Swifties here and I love that this title is also a representation of our life right now! I finished my layout placing some deco brads on some of my floral pieces, adding a different texture and shine to my layout. I hope you guys like my layout and feel inspired to create something fun and bold with this awesome collection. If you would like to see how this layout came together please visit my YouTube channel to watch the process video, I would love to have you there! Thank you for stopping by!

Today I'm sharing about my final quilt that I made with my Robert Kaufman Palette Picks bundle! If you want a recap on the other quilts, you can check them out here. . . When I was first planning which quilt patterns I wanted to make with my bundle, Nightingale was at the top of the list! It's probably my favorite fat quarter friendly quilt that is really great for showing off bold blocks of color. I went back and forth about what I wanted my background fabric to be...either a darker background or a lighter one. I love my darker background quilts. I would say that I actually prefer them to a white/cream background. But with this project, I knew that I had to make BOTH. Let's start with the darker version since that's the first one that I made. :) . Charcoal Nightingale Quilt Gotham Grey is typically my go-to dark grey Kona solid. I used it as the sashing in both my Enchanted and Cover Church Window quilts and I also used it as the background for my cover Knitted Star quilt. However, with this project, my bundle has several different textures of fabric, so I wanted to add to that and use something that had some extra texture as well. I landed on Robert Kaufman's Essex Yarn Dyed (which is a mix of cotton and linen) in the color Charcoal. I normally use solid quilt cotton fabrics for the backgrounds of my quilts, but this was a fun change of pace! . One thing to note is that this fabric is slightly thicker than traditional quilting cotton. You might need to slightly decrease your seam allowance to account for that. . . Ashley of Henhouse Quilting quilted all of my Palette Picks quilts and for this one, we used a pantograph called Paradoxical by the Longarm League. I also used this pantograph on my Autumn Heirloom Hearts quilt and I truly feel like it looks good on such a wide variety of quilt patterns! We went back and forth about what thread color to use because we wanted it to blend into both the background and the foreground fabrics as much as possible. We landed on a light pink and I love that it gives subtle texture without too much contrast. . . For the backing, I used one of the Kona solids from my bundle, Kona Delft. The binding is Kona Gumdrop. . . . . . The colors of this bundle read a little more
I took a day off this weekend and had some me time on yet another table. The dining room table is supposedly off-limits, but sometimes I get carried away. I still have a few blank spaces on our new walls and wanted to add some color to one of them so I started snipping up bits of scrap fabric, busted out the Mod Podge, and went to town on a wooden box frame painted white. Snip, snip, snip. Glue, glue, glue. Super fun! Like the very limited amount of quilting I've done, I just made it up as I went along. I like how it turned out, kind of a quilty mosaic. Now I just have to decide where to hang it.

Download the FREE Ombre Puff Quilt Pattern here! If you've been around for any amount of time, you might've seen my Puff Quilt that my grandmother made for me. I love this thing SO much. She used various scrap fabrics and clothing to create this very dense, yet very snuggly quilt. . . . When I look at this quilt, I see something new each time. Recycled tablecloths from the 80s, pieces of my grandfathers button-down shirts, left-over fabrics from previous quilt projects. The list goes on. Some fabrics are used multiple times within the quilt, while other fabrics are only represented once. I love looking over all of the puffs and finding all of the similarities and differences between the squares. . . . My Granny made this for me when I was 7 years old. I absolutely LOVE that she created a tag for this quilt. I also love that she referred to the quilt as a
