Satisfying a craving {Finished Quilt Top}

Uncategorized

9 Aug

Even though I made a red, patchy scrappy-trip-along a few weeks ago, I guess I wasn’t quite finished with red patchwork.  With everything on my to do list, the craving for simple and red patchwork was strong.

Craving red patchwork...

 I picked out some favorite cheery reds, some low volume prints (I HEART(!!!!) the daisies), and two black prints, cut 3.5 inch squares, and had a great time sewing them together.

Most of these fabrics are favorites, especially the red ones.

… and the blue one … and the blacks ones. Ok, and the low volume ones are my favorites too.

And now it’s fair to say that I love to make quilt tops and need to start turning those tops into actual quilts. (Tsk tsk.)

Red patchwork

I’m not sure who this quilt is for or what I will do with it. But I have this terrible yet awesome desire to cut it up and make pillows or something entirely different.

Linking up with Finish It Up Friday. Have a great weekend!

If I’m being completely honest, there was a time w If I’m being completely honest, there was a time where is absolutely HATED foundation paper piecing. 😅

It was driving me crazy. To the point of wanting to just give up quilting altogether. 

But then, I was shown this amazing technique, and it completely changed my life. I know it sounds dramatic, but it’s true! 

When I started using the freezer paper piecing technique, I started having fun in my sewing room again instead of dreading the tedious parts of the process.

And after many years of using this technique, I still never get sick of peeling the freezer paper off just like a sticker. ✨

Comment ‘FREEZER’ if you want to learn how this technique will make foundation paper piecing WAY quicker and easier for you too. 💕

The satisfaction of freezer paper piecing NEVER ge The satisfaction of freezer paper piecing NEVER gets old. 🙌

We use this technique in ALL of my programs, and one member who is making the current ‘Dutch Summer’ block of the month said, “I have to say, I don’t get tired of the freezer paper just peeling off the back!” 

And after 15 years, I’m still not sick of it either! 😉

This technique has saved me so much time and made quilting so much easier and more enjoyable. Next week, I am co-hosting the Quilter’s Paradise Fall Summit, and for my session I’ll be teaching you how to make a modern triangle block with this technique. ✨

If you have been quilting for a while now, you kno If you have been quilting for a while now, you know the feeling.

Of course you still love quilting. But sometimes you just feel stuck in a creative rut.

You have plenty of fabric, plenty of patterns, plenty of pretty things saved that you’d love to make someday, and definitely plenty of WIPs. 😅

But letaly when you walk into your sewing room, you wonder what to make, and you try to find what will get you the most excited to sew. 

And if you’re going through this now, sometimes you just need a good dose of fresh inspiration, which is exactly what I’m hoping you’ll find at the Fall Quilters Paradise Summit.

I hope you’ll find a technique you’ve never tried, a teacher who shows you a completely different way to do something, a project that makes you immediately start digging through your stash thinking, Ooooh... what if I used THIS?!

From September 21–28, we’re bringing together 40+ quilting masterclasses covering piecing, precision, scraps, free-motion quilting, color, appliqué, improv, finishing, creative design and SO much more.

I’m co-hosting again AND teaching The BEST Way to Foundation Piece Featuring Modern Triangle 60#quiltingforbeginners 🤓🧵

And you can join the whole thing online for FREE.

If your quilting mojo has been missing lately, come find it with us. The summit starts in one week! Comment ‘SUMMIT,’ and I’ll send you the details to get your ticket. 🎟️
