The fabric for this project was provided by Riley Blake Designs. I was also given a digital copy of the book Playful Precuts by Amanda Neiderhauser for participation in the blog tour. The project and opinions are my own. I am not normally one to work with neutral fabrics when sewing, I love a good rainbow or bright happy colors. Seeing these fabrics from My Mind’s Eye called My Heritage, though, I fell in love. I just knew they would…
The fabric for this post was provided by Riley Blake Designs for use in the Bee Basics blog tour the project and opinions are my own. If you have been around my blog very often, you know that I love a good rainbow. So, when I had the opportunity to sew a project with Bee Basics fabric, I knew I would want to create something that would use the whole rainbow of colors available. This Heart Mini Quilt does just…
The fabric for this project was provided by Riley Blake Designs for participation in the Oh Holy Night blog tour. The project and opinions are all mine. Christmas is such a special time of year. I love the traditions and the feelings that come with this season. When I saw the Panel in the Oh Holy Night fabric line, I knew I wanted to make an advent mini quilt to help my family create a tradition of incorporating acts of…
This fun quilt as you go mug rug is a great way to use up scraps and make something useful in the process. Mug rugs are great for keeping those condensation rings off your furniture and allow you to practice quilting techniques on a very small scale. This Rainbow Sunset Mug Rug is a simple, straightforward project that will bring lots of joy as you use it. And if you love the look of this mug rug, but want to…
The fabric for this post was provided by Riley Blake Designs for participation in the Moments Fabric Blog Tour. The project and opinions are all mine. This Community Love mini quilt is born from recognizing how important community is to me. Whether it’s the actual community I live in and love, or my online community of readers and friends and followers on my blog and social media, this global upheaval has taught me to really appreciate how much connecting with…
Can I admit something to you? I am not a perfect quilter. I love sewing, and I love quilts, but making full sized quilts is just not something I have done much of. So, when I was asked to do a quilting book review of Fresh Fat Quarter Quilts, I was a little nervous that I wouldn’t have enough experience to do Andy’s book justice. I shouldn’t have worried. The patterns are written so well with diagrams and instructions that…
I am so excited to be here on the National Parks Fabric Panels tour. We recently moved to Wyoming and I am thrilled that we live so close to some of the most amazing national parks. These National Parks Fabric Panels have gorgeous artwork and the colors are rich and awesome! I knew a Yellowstone Panel Mini Quilt would be a perfect nod to our new home. The fabric was provided by Riley Blake Designs, but the opinions and projects…
This post is sponsored by Nancy’s Notions. The project and opinions are my own. I am always on the hunt for a useful and beautiful gift idea. And if that gift idea is quick to make and economical to boot- it’s totally a win. This hot pad and trivet set is both useful and beautiful. Using traditional quilt blocks as the foundation of these utilitarian items makes them both lovely and timeless. This free pattern will show you all you…
When I first opened this fabric bundle from Poppie Cotton and started going through the prints in this Prairie Sisters line, I was first drawn to the adorable chicken prints and the deep rich brown-black fabrics. But, then I started looking closer, and these wonderfully soft pastel hues just begged me to be turned into a mini quilt. I decided to remake this Springtime Mini quilt from last year and I absolutely LOVE how it turned out! The first version…
The fabric for this project was provided to me by Riley Blake Designs. The project and opinions are my own. You probably don’t know this, but I have been pulled out of depression twice in the last two years by sewing. Through being creative, putting things together in a unique fun way, and taking time to do something just for me, I have found my happiness any joy renewed. So creating, and specifically sewing, have a very special place in…
