L'Amour

The end of a long imprisonment.

Fabric jailed away for years waiting.

Waiting for the moment when it finally gets center stage.

And something happens in minutes! 

Okay, maybe hours. 

But it seems so much happier now.

One honeybun of L'Amour by Sandy Gervais for Moda. One wire wreath. Valentine rag wreath.

Love the texture and colors. And it even says love on it. 

In the shop. 

Whimsy Quilt

Toddler Quilt in Whimsy by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda - 41" x 60" in the shop.
I'll have a pattern for this up too in a bit.
It was so fun to make - it practically assembled itself...

But seriously, how cute is this fabric line?
Vintage children's toys with dots and rickrack... and words!
I LOVE fabric with words... is that strange?

Mill House Inn Quilt... and a New Pattern for Sale Too!

Done and done! Finished this sweet lap quilt - measures 44" x 57" - and made a pattern for it too.

It is the honeybun version of my other pattern - building blocks.

So if you want to make one too just hop on over to the shop.

On a side note, so far in the "stitch or run" debate... the stitching is winning :o).

Spring Table Runner Pattern

Another finish and a very happy me.

So, I'll give some quick instructions in case you think you neeeeed one of these. And we all do right?

I used 15 charms and 8 honey bun strips though you can you cut yardage if you like.

Cut:

- (4.5" x 4.5") squares from the 15 charms

- 4 (1.5" x 4.5") and 4 (1.5" x 6.5") strips from each honey bun strip

- 18" x 30" backing

- 18" x 30" batting

- 100" x 2" strips (sewn together)

Randomly pair the honey bun strip sets to the trimmed charms.

Sew the 4.5" strips to opposite sides of the squares. Press seams.

Sew 6.5" strips to the remaining sides of the squares and press.

Sew blocks together and press.

Layer backing, batting, and top together.

Quilt, bind, and enjoy!
