I made this little quilt recently for friends of ours who are having their first child in August. I’ve made a lot of quilts lately entirely (or almost entirely) out of 2 1/2” squares of fabric. I have a lot of fabrics and the smaller the squares, the more I can use – I love [...] I just love surprises! I love it when couples choose to be surprised by the gender of their baby on the day of birth. We did it both ways – we didn’t find out what we were having the first time around with Jude. With our other two sons, we did find out at the [...] I have a lot of experience stripping. Not on a pole, mind you, stripping as in strip piecing… as in making quilts? Hello? Anyone there?! Saying stripping instead of strip piecing is, like, the oldest quilters joke. Classic. Neat. Strip piecing basically is cutting full-length strips of fabric, selvage-to-selvage, and then sewing the long strips together. [...] Here’s the story: My friend Tara is a great girl. I love her lots. She has always admired my quilts. I don’t say that in a braggy way, like, “Hey everyone, look at my awesome quilts! I’m so awesome!” Not quite like that. She just has always been so sweet about my crazy hobby and appreciates [...] Simple and stylish… with swirly quilting. And did I mention reversible?! I’m on a roll… I have bought no new fabric or batting for the last five quilts I’ve made. I’m using the materials I’ve accumulated in the last five years of quilting and having fun doing it. At the time I made this quilt, I posted instructions on how to make a snowball block and how to sew a quilt top together, but I also photographed the process I go through to make appliqué letters. After finishing the letters on the aprons, I thought it would be a good time to post a [...] Here’s the quilt I made recently for our cousins who had a baby earlier this year. This baby boy, Daniel, has such blue eyes, that I took those baby blues as my inspiration for this quilt. The white fabric is all the same and it has a subtle white-on-white, loop-de-loop print, which I took as the [...] I’ve been playing catch-up in making quilts for family members and friends who’ve had babies recently (or not so recently now). Ideally, I’d like to give a quilt immediately upon a birth or even before. BUT, as I’m juggling this full and happy, if not a little chaotic household, quilts are getting turned out 6+ [...] Here is the quilt I’m currently working on and will be showing you step by step how to make. I don’t have a name for it yet, but it will be a quilt for a baby boy eventually. A little background: several months ago before I had my youngest son, I was readying his nursery room [...] Did you figure it out? Do you know what the pattern is? Here’s where it came all together: It’s a Triple Irish Chain, silly! In unconventional colors! I let Will’s mommy choose the pattern and colors. The back is the orange print you see peeking out above. I love when I can get my camera to show a quilt’s texture, because [...] |
