I wanted to make a quilt for a little neighbor girl who's having a birthday soon, and thought butterflies fit her perfectly--she hardly ever sits still, and has such a cheerful and bright personality. Not to mention her ultra-girly pink and purple bedroom . . . I figured a little more girliness in the form of butterflies wouldn't hurt anything! more pictures at www.maybematilda.etsy.com

My youngest son, Sam, is crazy about robots. I mean, crrrrrraaaaaazzzzzzy. And since he needed a quilt for his bed, I searched all over the web for a robot quilt or bedspread to buy or a pattern of a quilt I wanted to make. But didn't find either that quite matched what I was picturing. So, then I decided to design my own. And...I gave the unfinished quilt to my son a year and a half ago. For his birthday. And then....I had a hard time finishing it. I meant to get back to it quickly after his big day. But I didn't think about the next three birthdays in the family within the next month. And then the summer got busy. And then...and then....a year and a half passed. Yes. I'm aware. I'm a stinky mom. Every now and then he'd say things like, "You need to finish my quilt, mom." But mostly he was very sweet and not pushy at all. So, then, of course, I felt worse. I made a decision last month. I couldn't craft or make anything else for Christmas presents unless I finished that quilt. And I did it! Granted, I didn't make any other presents, but I got this quilt done*. So, how do you give a gift again that you've already given? Well, my Sam is always searching for underwear. I don't know what happens to his. I mean, where does it go? So, I bought him a bunch, put the quilt in the bottom of a big box, covered it with layers of tissue paper and then laid out the selection of underwear, some covered with robots. "You always need underwear," I told him when he opened it. But then he found the tissue paper underneath and tore it away. One robot peeked out. "YOU FINISHED IT?!" And then he became a blur of joy. It was so nice to finally give this to him. It's been on his bed ever since, unless he's pulled it off to snuggle with it on the couch. Applique Robot Quilt Tutorial Step #1: I decided I wanted to do really big quilt blocks. And then I took big sheets of paper, drew the size of blocks I was making and drew big robots. I looked at loads of robots on-line and then some I just made up. I had fun with this part... In case you're wondering, wrinkling the paper is not part of the process. This one was kicking around in my sewing room for...um...the past long while. Step #2: Time to start appliquing those robots. I traced the fabric-bots onto fusible webbing and got busy fusing the different pieces to fabric. You can see a cute video my friend did about doing appliques on her blog, The Life of a Cheap Chickadee. Step #3: {Optional} Wait months and months before you get the blocks out again. Step#4: Machine applique your robots. Step #5: Sew blocks together, add borders, layer with middle and backing (I used a green minky) and quilt. Ta-duh! Your robots are ready to conquer a bed near you! These two are my favorites. *Disclaimer: And I when I say it's done...I mean, um...it's mostly done. For example, as I was laying it out I noticed a few of the robots have antennas missing the wires connecting them to the top of their heads. So....I'll be hand sewing some wires real soon. Hopefully they won't take me a year and a half. Linked up to...(Alright, I figured out how to make these smaller...but now I can't figure out how to get them all together! Anyone know?)

Quilter Jean Boyd walks you through this adorable and easy modern baby quilt using Northcott's Cosmic Fusion collection. Free and full pattern instructions.
Here's the quilt I've been working on this week. After months of not feeling like doing much of anything, I am now back to quilting with a vengeance! It feels good! Quilting is such a good distraction for the end of pregnancy! And boy am I gonna need a good distraction or two (or five) in the next few weeks! I have never been much of a seasonal decorator so my house usually looks kinda bare. Lately though, I keep wanting to buy all this stuff to decorate for the different holidays! Let's blame it on my craft group. Yes, I have craft group...it's a group of girls that get together once a month and make some kind of decorative craft. It costs 10 bucks and we take turns hosting and coming up with the craft and getting all the supplies for it. Super fun! Here is this months little gem: Ok, so usually my finished product looks different than everyone elses...it was supposed to be a dark wood stained background with a plain glitter heart...but I couldn't stay to work on it this month-I accidentally booked a Drs. appointment at the same time-so I just brought it home to make it. And then I got a little crazy with the paint and the silhouette cutter...yeah...I can't help it. Anyway...back to the quilt. So while on this little decorating spree, I realized that I didn't have any Valentine's quilts! So last weekend I spent some time designing a few quilts. I came up with two that I really liked, so I decided to make them both (just got the fabric for the 2nd one yesterday)! If you're thinking you have seen something similar to this quilt, you are right! It is close to this quilt I made a couple years ago: This is still one of my favorite quilts, so I decided to make this new quilt similar, but a table runner with hearts and swirls instead of circles and rings, and I changed the star a bit too. I couldn't resist using the same black and white polka dot for the stars and binding...I love it so much! I am going to cry when I finally run out of that Alexander Henry June Dot! All of the fabrics for the hearts came from my stash or scrap bags...good reminder of why I keep those scrap bags! This quilt is completely raw edge appliqued...my favorite! The quilt top took me just a few hours to make...pretty fast! The quilting on the other hand...well it took me 3 days! And I am talking quilting-all-day days. No, I have not gotten slower...but I did get a new quilting machine a couple months ago, and let's just say there is a learning curve! The thing quilts all by itself (which I totally love) but if you don't know exactly how to make it do what you want, then it definitely takes forever. So I just kept reminding myself that this was a "learning quilt." And I am happy to report that by the end, I finally figured out how I could have made it take a few hours instead of a few days! And even though it took me forever...it was a really fun quilt to work on. I had way too much fun picking patterns to put inside the hearts! Here are a few close ups: And I also whipped up a quick pattern in case anyone else needs some quilty and fast (if you don't take forever to quilt it) Valentine's Day decor! The PDF is available in my etsy shop or I have paper versions in my Ahhh...quilting Shop! Happy seasonal quilting!

I got the little quilt finished. Here it is: It measures 42" x 47" and unfortunately the light was not at its best the day I took this photo. I finished doing all the pebbling in the background..... ..... but then to my horror, I discovered you could see the turquoise border through the red butterflies. Doesn't show up too well in this photo but believe me you could see them. I had to think of a solution fast. This is what I came up with: 3 dimensional butterflies ! They were quite easy to make - just used my template cut a bit smaller, to draw around on a piece of folded fabric, right sides together. After sewing, cut a hole in the back and turn right side out. They are free motion quilted into position and will NEVER come off! I finished them off with a crocheted body using funky fur yarn. We had a bit of brightness this day and the light shows up the true colours of the quilt. Back to the dull shots now, but they do show up the quilting nicely. BTW, the quilting was done freehand on a Janome 1600 which is not on a frame. Enjoy the weekend. Rhianon. :)
