Flannel Pillowcases


While searching through my fabric bins I came across this cute flannel and decided to make some winter pillowcases for our couch pillows (1 regular & 2 travel size).  I still have some left which might make it into a new winter couch quilt :)

Happy Quilting!

Herringbone Hot Pads


Size: 10" x 10"
Pattern:  Herringbone Hot Pads by Melanie Dramatic (melaniedramatic.com) ufor 
Moda Bake Shop (Tutorial at www.modabakeshop.com)
Fabric:  Charms - Barcelona by Moda

Two layers of batting and a layer of Insul-Bright inbetween will keep the heat away and the back-to-front binding made the finishing fast and easy.  From one charm pack, I made four pads (two sets).  I also think it would make an awesome block in a quilt with some sashing - five charm packs would be twenty blocks :)

Happy Quilting!

Rock Candy


Size:  20.125" x 23"
Pattern:  Rock Candy by Little Jaybird Quilts
Fabrics:  Perfect Palette by Fabric Freedom
Thread:  King Tut 913


This topper went together really smoothly - especially after I started pressing the seams open.  I will definitely be making it again!  (Sorry the color is off in these bottom two pictures - it was a darkish day when I was taking them & I've already sent the sample to Galena Bay Novelty Fabrics).


Happy Quilting!

Cross-Eyed

Size:  14" x 14"
Pattern:  Cross-Eyed from Micro Mini Quilts by Moose on the Porch Quilts

The fabric for the blocks was from the Kaffe Collective by Rowan (2.5" squares).

My final quilt turned out a bit bigger (14" instead of 13") than the pattern - I squared each block to 2.75" because I could.

To quilt it, I dropped the feed dogs and meandered all over.


On the back I used a fat quarter of Northcott Stonehenge and for binding a striped fabric from Michael Miller.


Happy Quilting!
