Add More Blocks for a Bed-Sized Quilt! Scrappy patchwork and fusible applique team up in this striking quilt. Its vintage charm will be lovely anywhere in your home. Plus, it’s a great way to use up some of those scraps. Designer B. J. hand appliquéd and hand quilted her blocks, but fusible applique and machine …
Depuis que je suis toute petite, le dessin est ma passion. J’ai commencé le patchwork en 1995, à l’âge de 10 ans, lorsque j’ai vu ma mère travailler sur son premier sampler quilt lors d’un cours d’initiation. Les tissus, les motifs, … J’ai tout adoré...

I've quilted a number of quilts for Sandra and loved every one. She likes loose quilting on her quilts, she wants them nice and soft! If you've seen my quilting, you now I like a lot of thread!! But I exercised considerable restraint on this quilt (the struggle's real). LOL quilting half as much took me twice as long!! I wish I could applique like this. I so love applique but I have the patience of a three year old and my hand work looks like a three year old did it!!! I didn't stitch on any of the applique unless it was an area bigger than my fist (Margaret Solomon Gunn tip). Then it was just a very simple line or to (like the tulips to accentuate the leaves or n the large center, a simple echo on the inside got it to be an acceptable amount. I really really wanted to put viens in all the leaves, but I was strong! Thanks for letting me quilt for you Sandra! No idea what the pattern is :( usually she leaves the pattern with and this one is a beauty! Her kids got the kit for her. Great kids eh? Details on the quilt - Hobbs 80/20 batting, So Fine thread, 2 colors on top, Bottom Line in the bobbin. Rulers used: Deborah Poole's Rule it (love the 1/8 in markings and it's small enough to guide with my ring finger, nudging the ruler), Kelly Cline's Kelly Bean for around the applique. I certainly can't quilt curves without using one of Linda's curves from Quilted Pineapple. I used the 10 curve and the long straight ruler, went from corner to corner. Quilters Rule curvy thing, perfect for continuous curve. And of course a purple air erase marker, can't do ruler work without that. Now how long did it take for this quilt. My machine run time was less than 7 hours. I would add roughly two additional hours for marking and staring. About 10 hours total to complete this. Man I went very very slowly not sure why I come to an almost screeching halt when there's little quilting but it's just not second nature to me. I'm learning, I'm learning I can do different things. See I don't quilt everything within an inch of it's life!! Can't wait to show you the next quilt on the frame, this one's got a little surprise on it and there's definitely going to be more thread!! Hope everyone has a great week. Check out the link parties on the side bar, so much inspiration out there.
You guys!!! In just 4 short weeks the Bee Happy Sew Along will begin right here on my blog:) I can't even say how excited ...
Hello cute people! Let's talk about my new Sew Along... You are all invited to join in on the fun:) (cozy cottage calendar) I've been waiting for January to get here so that we can get started:) We will be starting in just 2 weeks from today... Monday, January 18th. We will be using my Calico Days fabric that is just arriving in quilt shops now... And my BLOOM set of Sew Simple Shapes. And of course... we will be making my BLOOM quilt! You can download the free pattern by clicking HERE All fabric requirements for the quilt are included in the pattern. Every Monday we will be doing one block and then at the end we will do borders as well. And of course I will have a few extra fun things along the way... for those of you who have done my sew alongs in the past... this won't surprise you! Just in case you have not been reading my recent posts and tutorials on my Sew Simple Shapes...I thought it would be a good idea to remind you about everything you will need to prepare for the sew along. You will need a set of my BLOOM templates... And SEW-IN interfacing. You can get package by clicking HERE ... Next... you will need a 1/4" bias tape maker for the stems on each block. You will need a turning tool to help with the points and curves after turning. I like this Clover one:) You will need an 8 1/2" square ruler to square up your blocks after the appliqué is complete:) Any brand will work... as long as it's 8 1/2" square. You will need matching thread for the appliqué. If you are an Aurifil fan like I am... you can use the Bee in my Bonnet Happy Colors because they of course match my fabric:) This is the large set... and this is the small. And now for some gratuitous photos of Calico Days! I seriously love sewing with this fabric line and I'm so happy with how it turned out. I designed it to play well with my previous collections. The bag is made with my Modern Minis fabric and the little needle book is made with Calico Days. Baby chicks... Plaid... Tiny Daisy... Large text... Sweet florals... Cherries!... Tiny flowers and strawberries:) There are a lot of different color combinations is in this collection:) Mint-Yellow-Blue Green-Yellow-Brown Red-Pink-Yellow-Aqua These are just a few! In this collection I added 3 different fat eighth panels. We will be using these panels in the BLOOM quilt too! That way we have lots of different prints to play with:) This basically means that there are 8 different fat 8th's in one yard panel of fabric. This is what it looks like before you cut it apart. (Sorry for the wrinkles... this is how my pre yardage came and I didn't iron it yet) A close up of the 8 prints in the aqua pink and red panel... Mint, Yellow and Denim Blue panel... apple greens and kraft paper brown! I have a new solid out with this collection... I named it Nutmeg:) It's now one of the Riley Blake Solids Collection:) I'm loving the browns in this collection. It's my favorite shade of brown... It really makes the other colors pop and adds a nice warmth to the collection. Speaking of solids... Kimberly and her amazing team over at Fat Quarter Shop have compiled this awesome Calico Days Stash Pack It has 6 fat quarter solids and 5 of my Aurifil colors that go with my Calico Days collection. Super fun and convenient!! CLICK HERE So... I hope you are informed and ready for the BLOOM SEW ALONG I can't wait to get started! xx Lori

One of the delights of putting together the Midsummer Sampler block of the month programme was dreaming up all the little extras to include in the parcels. Sometimes it was a useful little notion to help make our blocks - a bias tape maker for Meadow Cottage; washi tape to help trim the Jug of Roses block - or a delicious trim to add to our blocks - ric-rac braid or lustrous embroidery threads. And then there were some 'just because' items. December's package included a fun little enamel badge t

Christmas will be here whether we are ready or not. An hour or two spent in the sewing room may bring a little bit of calm to the season whilst also giving you the opportunity to create a lovely little gift out of little more than scraps. A mug rug is the perfect handmade gift to give this season. And I have twelve seasonal mug rugs that are just right for Christmas (and one or two are good all year round). First up is my Mug Rug Alphabet. This pattern is good for making a named mug rug or creating the perfect hostess gift. (This is an indispensable all-year-round patterns featured.) Mug Rug Alphabet Take a break from card writing with either design from my Christmas Delivery mug rug pattern - both designs are included in this $2.50 pattern: Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a reindeer or two. This pattern is one of ten from my Christmas Mug Rugs book - available in PDF format via Etsy or via Amazon. When wrapping gifts how about popping this fun mug rug into the gift bag as an extra little touch (also from my Christmas Mug Rugs book and another all-year-round pattern): Prepare for Hanukkah (beginning on Sunday 22nd December this year) or use up some of those festive charm squares with the time-saving Celebration Candles mug rug. (This pattern will come in handy whenever a birthday or special day arises throughout the coming year.) And don't forget the holly wreath for the hall table to match the wreath on the door. This pattern is from my new book 'Christmas on the Side' which enables you to create many mug rugs using any 6" block. The next two mug rug designs are also from the Christmas on the Side pattern book - the Penguin Stack sidebar with nine-patch block (one of six blocks included in the book): And a baubles sidebar paired with a decorated Christmas Tree applique block (also included in the book): This is just a taster of some of the mug rug patterns I have designed specifically for the Christmas season. Unsure which to choose? Then grab one of my two pattern books (Christmas Mug Rugs or Christmas On-the-Side) and you are sure to find a design to suit everybody.
