Happy Scallops quilt pattern is the newest stash buster quilt. Jelly roll, fat quarter, layer cake and scrappy friendly quilt pattern.
Sure, squares are interesting and easy. So, why not? If you are considering making a quilt, any one of these would be a great way to begin. How, you ask? 1. Start with a square of fabric and sew it to another square. Keep adding squares to form a row until you are satisfied that the row is long enough. Thirty inches is a good start, but you can certainly make it any length you want. 2. Make several rows. If you have a square quilt in mind (equal length and width) count the squares in the first row and make that many rows. 3. Now you're ready to begin stitching the rows together. Sew two rows together matching up the squares as you go. 4. Keep going till all the rows are in place. Really, it's that simple. One of the great reasons to use simple squares is that you can use a different fabric for each square or just a few fabrics for the entire quilt. Thanks for stopping by. Please say hello.

Welcome to the Stitch 'N Swap Blog Party. My friends at Generation Q Magazine have a wonderful new book coming out next month that's all about sharing. The GenQ folks are all about community. That's how they got started and that's what they believe in . . . community helping build community. And what better way to encourage community than through a swap. Bringing people together to share their talents and skills by making and then giving. It's a win win scenario and wonderful experience. Stitch 'N Swap is loaded with 25 fun projects that include a variety of themes. All are meant to be doable in a day. Some are small . . . some are more involved. There's something for everyone including kids. One of my favorites is the Interchangeable Monster by Linda Hansen. Linda made these really fun little monsters with arms and legs that can be swapped out for different ones. Very clever and creative. Another favorite, and one I just might need to make for myself, is the Tea Cozy by Karen Cunagin. I'm a big tea drinker and my tea is always cold. In addition to all the projects, lots of tips and advice are included on how to organize a successful swap. How do you get started? Who do ask to play along? What projects do you use? Everything you might encounter if you're running a swap so you'll have a smooth and fun filled event. This would be a great book for guilds to add to their library too. I was really honored and super excited when Jake asked me to contribute a project. This is the first book I've had the pleasure of being published in and I couldn't be in better company. WaHoo!!! My project is in the Home Swap chapter and called Heartbeat Couch Scarf. It's a small quilt meant to be a decorative runner to dress up your couch. It easily can be used as a table runner or wall hanging too. Super simple to make, it uses a quilt-as-you-go method so it really comes together quickly. Of course every good party includes a giveaway. Generation Q Magazine will be giving away 3 copies of Stitch 'N Swap on their blog. US winners will get a paper copy and international winners will receive a digital copy. So how does the giveaway work? I'm glad you asked. All you need to do is comment on the original Generation Q Stitch 'N Swap blog post here. Let them know if you've ever participated in a swap and the coolest thing you've gotten in a swap. That's it! All winners will be chosen from the GenQ post Wednesday May 7th and posted on their blog May 8th. You can also get your very own copy directly from Generation Q beginning May 1st or pre-order now through C&T Publishing. Hop over to today's other blog party participants and see what they have to say.

Needless to say, Blogger and I were definitely not on speaking terms . . . at least not with any words I'd care to share here . . . but alas all is good in the Quilting Universe now . . . : )
Dumpster Diving 3.0 is FINISHED! 48" x 62" Quilted with vertical wavy lines using Glide thread in Bark. The back was not what I had planned to use - it's better. I did a favor for Jill S. in Illinois and when she asked about repaying me, I suggested she send a few fat quarters. Well - she also sent nearly 6 yards of this striking African print. DD3.0 was the perfect place to use it. I'm super-pleased with the way I was able to marry the two sides for the seam down the back. Of course, there WAS some unstitching involved. I had long-planned to use this black and white striped binding. But after stitching 3 sides in place, I realized I did not like it at all. One evening in the recliner was all it took to remove the binding that can now be used on another of the waiting quilts. I think this green/brown striped binding works MUCH better. Here is the finished quilt draped over our back porch swing. (our aging red swing has a new home and we have a new weather-resistant turquoise model) SO happy with the way this quilt made from loads of scraps turned out. Crossing another one off that 18 in 2018 Quilting List! * * * And for those who have asked, I found the giant "mutant" clothespins online at Amazon.com. Just search for "Darice Super Jumbo Wood Clothespin, 12-Inch" * * * I must also beg for comment amnesty. I'm very far behind in responding and with this week's busy schedule, I know I won't get caught up anytime soon. Please know that I do VERY MUCH appreciate your kind words!

Happy New Year! Despite the long pause in postings, I did actually complete a few more sewing projects in 2014. January 2014 - Drawstring book bags for Allie and Cate's birthdays February 2014 - Robert Hughes baby quilt (I really need to consider taking a "how to photograph your quilts" workshop:) quilted with stars and spirals May 2014 - Amy Becker's HS graduation lap quilt Amy picked out fabrics at Fabric Depot during her Portland visit, Christmas 2013. I supplemented with a few fabrics I found at The Stitching Post and at Kapaia Stitchery during a trip to Kauai (always looking for an excuse to fabric shop). The blue batik with butterflies was the first fabric Amy chose. Other colors were built around that. quilted with vining flowers and leaves Now Amy has this nice warm lap quilt - perfect for her college years at the University of Arizona in Tucson. She assures me that it does get cold there, especially when the air conditioner is running. November 2014 - New curtains and duvet set for the Sisters house After 20 years, Stefanie and I decided it was time for a change in the upstairs bedroom in our Sisters house. We found some curtain fabric at IKEA (seen below in the medium-sized pillows). After a futile search for a coordinating duvet cover I decided we just needed to make our own. Not as cheap, but so much more fun! On the bed in Anna's old room at our house (tempted to keep it here, but...) Had to add a border piece as it was just a bit too small. Found a fun coordinating fabric at The Stitching' Post. Shams and throw pillows. The quilting in the shams mimics the print in the curtain fabric. All set up in its new home. On to 2015... January 2015 - Jeanne's lap quilt This quilt was made for my good friend and fellow swimmer, Jeanne. She will be out of the water for a bit, recuperating from surgery, so of course this called for a quilt! My daughter, Anna, suggested the colors - perfect for a swimmer. Another swimmer friend, Jenn, joined me for a shopping trip to Fabric Depot and also helped with part of the sewing. Sandi and Jeanne The design incorporates over 60 small blocks with names of some of Jeanne's friends. Next Up???? cityscape art quilt based on a photo of Roussillon, France art quilt based on our Croatia travels last September flower/plant themed art quilt for the Hardy Plant Society Hortlandia Plant Sale in April hopefully taking Hilde Morin's Bowl Art class
Linda Nussbaum Blog: creativentropy.blogspot.com Flickr username: linda beth This challenge was a welcome opportunity for me to apply some of my favorite techniques within the challenge confines of the monochromatic theme. Since I began quilting, I've always enjoyed string quilts and bringing together a wide assortment of many different fabrics - the more, the merrier. I also find something very compelling about taking the same basic block and making any number of unique compositions just by altering minor components and playing with value & orientation. Staying within the parameters of making a monochromatic quilt, I relied on value and scale to compose a visually interesting piece comprised solely of string-pieced equilateral triangles. I chose to quilt this piece using simple lines, evenly spaced. My goal was to accentuate the secondary shapes and paths created within the field. The finished quilt measures approximately 60" x 70".
Many thanks for all the words of wisdom, comfort and understanding that you each offered to me in my last post! From reading the comments, it seems that artistic road blocks and creative detours, (which can leave us feeling more lost then we feel comfortable with) are pretty common, and it helps to be reminded that not only are we not alone on our journey, it's actually an okey-dokey place to be. If we just stay calm, and even take some time to be at peace with the odd cross-roads which we find ourselves standing in, we might even learn a thing or two. Well, I'm still at those creative cross-roads, scratching my head over which way to go, but I'm making peace with the fact that this is where I am, and trusting that eventually I will feel like I am on the right path again. I guess the thing that I am trying to learn is patience, (which seems to be a lesson that I keep needing to learn over, and over again). In the meantime I am going to be listing the pieces that I made a few weeks ago, (and actually liked!) and do my best to just begin enjoying where I am in the moment, even if it feels a bit directionless. These two "Mini Scrap Quilts" can be found here and here. (I have a few more that I will be listing in the next few days.) And here's to all of you... where ever you you find yourself in your own creative journey, know that I am grateful for getting to walk this path with such generous, lovely and talented kindred spirits. xo P.S. I'm reading the comments, and have to say, don't worry about me! I'm well and fine, and have my sense of humor fully intact! I tend to get philosophical about things, but believe me, I'm not being hard on myself, I'm just antsy, (as I get bored easily doing the same thing over and over) and impatient to figure out something new. (If patience is a virtue, it's a virtue that I lack!) This post was simply to say that I am learning not to rush things and to be more content being where I am, instead of where I think I should be.

The crumb quilt project was a great scrap buster. I got 2 quilts out of that project. But for some reason, after all the mess all over my sewing room, and working several months on those crumb quilts, I still had a huge pile of scraps!! They just seemed to multiply!!! So I decided to try scrap strips instead to see if I could lesson my scrap mountain. I put my scraps into piles strips that were about the same length. I had 6 or 7 piles of different lengths. I pulled two from the first pile (let's say they were 5 inch strips), and sewed them together, then without cutting strings, I sewed 2 together from the next pile (lets say they were 7 inch strips), and on down through all the piles. When I had sewn 2 together from each pile, I started back at the top. I picked one from the 5 inch pile and sewed that to the existing 5 inch strip, without cutting strings. I kept my nice big scissors near by, there was a lot of chopping at the machine. This was a donation quilt. So, I used a sheet for the back, and wrapped it around for the binding. I was careful to start and stop my quilting just 1 time because when you're carrying the backing around to the front, you can't just go running off the edge when you're quilting. Do you have a good way to get rid of scraps? I'd love to hear your ideas.
I told you I would be back with more quilts from the new edition of Quilts! Quilts!! Quilts!!! by Diana McClun and Laura Nownes. And autographed copies are now available here. I was lucky enough …

I went to the zoo today and knew it would be a perfect day to wear my new cape and hat since it was supposed to be 60° today . Remember the one I made a couple of weeks ago? http://missyscakesandaprons.blogspot.com/2011/12/i-wore-flannel-sheet-to-church-today.html . It was a gorgeous day! I wanted a matching purse and since I had some fabric leftover I decided to make one last night. Since I had used all the blue from the sheet, I needed to find some more blue. I found some old valances in my stash that was perfect! I really had no idea what I was doing, but I will try to give you an idea how I made my purse. First I used a crock pot lid to give me the rounded bottom. I then cut straight up the sides. I also used this same pattern for a heavy interfacing and the blue for the lining. I put a pocket all the way across, I wish I had pulled it down a little though since it ended up being right at the top. I put another blue pocket underneath this one to give a layered (or graduated) pocket. I wish I had sewn up the middle because when I put the pleat in the front it made this pocket stick out too much. I'm going to hand stitch it down. Sew this on just the blue and interfacing so your stitches don't show on the outside. I forgot to take anymore pictures, sorry. I also put two pockets the sizes of my camera and phone on the other side. I have some little pockets on my camera pocket because I used the "holes" from where the curtain rod would have gone and had them on the top rather then sewing another hem down for the top of the pocket.Here is a picture of the inside of my purse. After I had sewn on the pockets, I put a pleat in the middle of the bag on both sides and then rolled down towards the front to give myself a blue trim. Sew along the trim. Sew the two sides together right sides together. Clip the edges to make it easier to turn. You should probably zig zag stitch or serge it, but I didn't. I turned it inside out and sewed the straps on. I made the straps too long, but they cover my messy seams! If you have any questions, leave me your email add. and I will try to answer them! So, I made a hat, cape and purse out of one queen size flat sheet and one valance for the sum of $1! I still need to add navy blue pockets to my cape(and inside pockets for my gloves)and some sort of snap to my purse, but I like it! Wanna see what I did at the zoo? I rode a camel! Please ignore my boots! The camel also tried to eat my ruffle! LOL She was very friendly! I petted a goat. I tried to pet a giraffe. And my husband fed the birds. This bird was so funny because he kept trying to get in my husband's coat. I saw him steal a nut out of one lady's purse! Happy new year ya'll! Missy
I am adrift. I am uninspired and without direction. That bell tower that I made last week just does not work or make me happy or give me ideas or beg to be fixed. Eh. It is going in a closet for awhile. Maybe forever. So, what did it tell me, if anything? It told me that "loosening up" is not easy. In the end I was obsessing over perspective and fussily coloring my plain fabrics to give them more oomph. Not at all what I planned. A couple of commenters mentioned my facility with patterned fabrics and that it was a strength. Well, maybe, but see, the thing is, I am suffering from just seeing too much of the same thing happening in my studio. It has gotten stale for me. I need a change that is me, but a different me. Oh Lord, I just reread that and I have become Whiney Blogger. I hate Whiney Blogger, but hang with me here. I am working through something. The other morning I was ironing a blouse to wear to a lecture by a famous art quilter. I was in my tiny utility room, ironing away and pondering my state of dissatisfaction and malaise. I looked up at the clothes waiting to be ironed (there is always a waiting line at my house) and an old striped shirt of mine caught my eye. I have always liked that stripe. Well, I like all stripes if you want to know the truth. And I began to wonder what I would do with a bunch of stripes. And I remembered my very favorite quilt that I saw at the Houston quilt show. This one, by Gabrielle Paquin. There was something so fresh and crisp about this. It has stuck with me. Not that I want to make butterfly quilts from stripes, but.........stripes? Woven pattern, as opposed to printed? The famous quilt artist lecture? I won't tell you who it was. It made me so tired. She is deep into technique. Holy moly. She spreads yards of silk on snowbanks and sprays caustic chemicals all over it and she processes things with rusty bits and more chemicals and then she makes a lot of stuff that seems to be all about the techniques, and all look pretty much alike including some tortured hanging methods, which vary a bit from piece to piece. Way too tricky and technical and ultimately only interesting from a "how she did it" angle. So exactly opposite of what I am striving for. I was literally falling asleep and had to keep pinching myself, but our STASH group, who attended it together, went for a divine lunch after, at a beautiful spot and we cackled and had a grand time. The next day I went to a thrift store, where you paw through piles of stuff that you pay for by the pound and brought home two bags of striped and stripe-ish shirts. I have been fileting and boning them (you know—cutting out the good parts) for the past three days. More to follow. Maybe.
You might remember this block and its siblings, which I sent out to a bunch of you who wanted the challenge of reinventing it. Three have not come back and I hope that they will at some point (ahem) so I can post them. One block never arrived at its destination, sadly. (who would steal a piece of mail with this in the envelope??) And seven of them came back by the deadline. Here, in order of their arrival, are the blocks, which have been made into finished pieces. Wow! Isn't it fascinating to me to see the varied approaches from this international group?!! They have all imprinted their own "fingerprints" on these experimental pieces. Thanks to all of you for participating -- it CAN be done - LOL. I'll post the last three when I get the jpgs. Barbara Diskin -Alexandria, VA.

I spent a solid two weeks this spring hand-stitching a zillion little yo-yos using RJR's Cotton Supreme Solids. They were each like little gems, perfectly round and fluffy and dazzling saturated in color. Problem was, when I went to put them together for the What Shade Are You blog hop RJR has organized, I was
I know a lot of you have been waiting for this quilt-as-you-go tutorial, so here you go! You can find a video tutorial below which I had the privilege of filming at The Fat Quarter Shop with Kimber…
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. Okay! My last Deco quilt to share with you is quite possibly my favorite one! This was my last Deco quilt to design....mostly because I was really held up by choosing colors! I initially thought that I had my colors nailed down, then I got about halfway through sewing all of my blocks and I HATED it. It was nothing like what I envisioned in my head! I loved all of the colors individually, but they did not work well together at all. I was in a little bit of a time crunch, so I was really bummed that I changed my mind. I actually wasted a whole day contemplating whether or not I should start over. In the end, the colors weren't sitting well with me, so I decided to start over! Thankfully, I used my Kona color chips to find other fabrics, and I ordered some fabrics online with expedited shipping. Once they arrived, I was still a little bit skeptical that it would turn out how I wanted, but I jumped in and hoped for the best! . From top to bottom, the fabrics are: Magnetism, Smoke, Bellini, Rose, Deep Rose, Sienna. This is how I used them in this quilt: Color 1: Sienna - 1/2 yard Color 2: Deep Rose - 1/3 yard Color 3: Rose - 3/4 yard Color 4: Bellini - 1/2 yard Color 5: Smoke - 1/2 yard Background: Art Gallery Fabrics Magnetism - 3.25 yards We have quilt kits to create this exact quilt in our shop! I sometimes like to stick with only one fabric manufacturer per quilt, especially if I know that it's going to be on the cover of a pattern. But since I originally thought that I was going to use all Art Gallery Fabrics for the quilt, I kind of had my heart set on using AGF Magnetism for the Background. When the AGF colors didn't work out and I had to make the switch to Kona, I decided to keep the Magnetism background because it just felt right. I would say a comparable Kona option would be Gotham Grey...but it's slightly more

Scroll down for English please. Instagramissa minua seuraavat saattavat muistaa tämän työn. Tästä on ollut vaihekuvia jo lähes vuosi sitten mutta vihdoin kuvia valmiista työstä. Nimi "Hiillos" on jatkumoa "Kipinän" ja "Hehkun" teemaan. Töölön Tilkkupajassa tikkautin ja hyvähän siitä tuli. Näiden värien tilkkulaatikot tyhjenivät mukavasti. Muutamista isommistakin paloista leikkasin. Blokin koko on 4 1/2" eli 11,5cm. Leikkelin hyvin ohuesta kaavapaperista neliöitä, joiden päälle ompelin kaitaleita lähtien keskeltä kulmiin edeten. Lopuksi silitys, paperit pois ja tasaus sopivaan kokoon. Tausta löytyi jälleen omista jemmoista. Hieman vaikea kangas mielestäni mutta oikein mainiosti värit sopivat juuri tähän työhön. Tässä hieman tekovaihetta. Tällä kertaa lähdin etenemään reunoilta sisään päin. Oikein hauska työ tehdä ja kiva lopputulos mielestäni. Tänään ulkona näyttääkin niin myrskyiseltä, että on kiva kääriytyä peittoon ja pysyä sisällä. **** Those who follow me in Instagram might remember this quilt. It has been half finished for months but now it's finished and photographed. It's called "Embers" and the name goes well together with other quilts of this theme "Glow" and "Spark". Quilting is made by Töölön Tilkkupaja. The unfinished block size is 4 1/2" ( 11,5cm). I used mainly scraps but I also cut some strips from bigger pieces. I have very thin pattern paper so I cut squares of it and used that as a base for strips. I started sewing from the middle. Iron, remove the papers, trim to 4 1/2" and the block is ready. The backing is from my stash. It has been waiting for a quite a long time because it's kind of too wild but for this top it's really good. Very fun quilt to make and I like the final result. It's rainy and stormy day here so it's better to stay home and hide under the quilt.
I'm following Vicki's lead and quilting for an hour first thing in the morning. I have been making a lot of progress on my Scrappy String and I'm enjoying it immensely. If I keep up at this pace, this quilt will be done in no time. Since I've decided to make it a tall, narrow wall-hanging I think it will be easy for me to quilt too. I have an idea of what I want but I'll probably play around a bit. I don't want anything too complicated or swirly. I'm going for a more "modern" and simple look, but graphic too. In this bottom photo it's possible to see at what stage I'm working. All of the triangle portions of each block have been sewn together and now I'm sewing the blocks together into horizontal rows. I've only just done one row so far, but I do love how it's looking. I'm planning on using a black/white polka dot for binding and no borders. Even my husband looked at it and commented (before I told him) that that's what it needed. :) He always surprises me as to how much knowledge he's picked up over the years. He's really developed quite a good eye for color. Take care,
