Mothers who sew…

Uncategorized

12 Sep

My mom taught me how to sew and I didn’t appreciate it. Well let’s say I took it for granted. That is until I started (trying) to teach my daughters to sew.  I know now that it takes TRUE motherly love for a mom to sacrifice her precious sewing time, her favorite fabrics, and her favorite tools to teach her daughter…

Ah, hello friends. It’s been a while, no? Maybe not too long I hope. Lately I’ve been feeling like the Old Sailor in a poem written by A.A. Milne, of Winnie the Pooh renown.* There was once an old sailor my grandfather knew Who had so many things which he wanted to do That, whenever he thought it was time…

Noelle’s quilt, finally finished, a photo by bryanhousequilts on Flickr. I took a break from unpacking boxes and finished binding Noelle’s baby quilt. It’s nice to check something off as finished. 🙂 Details: all hand pieced (except for borders) using English paper piecing. It is small 30ish by 40ish inches. Hand quilted using white perle. Fabric: Pam Kitty Morning.

WIP: Completely Irresponsible

As I mentioned earlier this week, I’ve been feeling kind of scattered lately. In the past few weeks I’ve been so indecisive! I mentally pace back and forth between decisions. It’s making me nuts! My grandmother, a mother of four, once told me, when I was young (younger! darn it, youngER) and single, she admired my ability to make a…

I was ready to give up on foundation paper piecing I was ready to give up on foundation paper piecing altogether, and then I was introduced to freezer paper piecing, and it changed my whole world forever.

Let’s talk about Freezer Paper Piecing versus traditional Paper Foundation Piecing. 👇

The techniques are similar, both methods focus on precision and ease of assembly, but with Freezer Paper Piecing, you get to reuse your templates without turning them into confetti! 🎉 MAJOR WIN!

All you have to do is trace a few copies onto freezer paper or use printable sheets for your printer. It’s versatile, efficient, and saves you tons and tons of time.

🌟 The key benefits of freezer paper piecing: 🌟

👏 Reuse & Recycle: No more wasteful piles of ripped paper templates.
👏 Easy Removal: Templates peel off effortlessly, leaving your masterpiece intact.
👏 Versatility: From intricate designs to straightforward patterns, freezer paper can be used for any foundation.

WAY MORE TIME TO QUILT! 🙌

In all of my programs, we use the Freezer Paper Piecing method, and anyone can learn this, even first-time quilters! I’ve got a NEW block-of-the-month quilt design coming soon, so follow along if you’re looking for a faster and easier way to paper-piece! ✨

I’ll go first: I can find quilt inspiration in approximately ANYTHING. I own fabric that is apparently too special to actually use, and “one more seam” has never once meant one more seam.

A couple of weeks ago, I picked my colors for next A couple of weeks ago, I picked my colors for next year’s “Starburst” Block of the Moth, and I had to laugh at myself because even though I started with a few pretty pinks and yellows as my inspiration...

I devolved back to rainbows for my final selection. I do love a rainbow gradient! So glorious, so delicious!

Honestly, sometimes it takes me several, several, several rounds to get the colors just how I want them. 😭  But the good news is, I do have the rainbow fabric on hand!

Now I can Netflix and sew... as I work on my Starburst sample! Hooray!

Who else just can’t resist a rainbow palette??? Follow along @bryanhousequilts to be the first to see my latest “Starburst” design! 💫

SWIPE to see the big finish, my completed Peppermi SWIPE to see the big finish, my completed Peppermint Twist Dutch Summer! 🤍

The joy really is in the journey with my Block of the Month programs, where every single month you make one block, sew your whole batch, and, month by month, start to see the design come together with each new block.

And that’s why ANYONE can make this quilt! Yes, even a first-timer! 

You don’t have to sit down and make an entire quilt all at once. You make one batch of blocks, then another, and another... You learn as you go, watch your skills develop, and slowly start seeing the whole quilt come together.

And then one day, all those individual triangles you’ve been making come together and you’ve made THIS. 🥹

I absolutely love how this Peppermint Twist version of Dutch Summer turned out, and seeing all of the blocks together makes me want to do the whole thing all over again in another color palette! 😂

If you want to make your own version of the Dutch Summer, comment ‘DUTCH’ and I’ll send you the details! 💌
