In Motion Blue Flames

You're going to see these oven mitts again very soon - probably in Christmas fabrics :). These are the Hot Stuff Oven Mitts by Vanilla House Designs.  The main fabric is In Motion Blue Flames by Elizabeth's Studio and the trim is made from Free Spirit Color Connectors by Heide Stoll-Weber.  I used Insul-Bright inside.

Soccer Balls & Flames

My nephew just turned five so I made him a new shirt with this fabric from David Textiles.  The pattern is McCalls M6548 view A. 

B-bop

Size:  48.5" x 53"

This is another gift that I recently completed. The pattern is Oh Baby! from Little Quilts 4 Little Kids by Anka's Treasures.  The border fabric is Critters by Clothworks.  The other seven adorable prints are from the Urban Zoologie line by Robert Kaufman Fabrics.  The yellow background fabric is by P & B Textiles.

The batting is Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 and the backing is a multi-tonal pink flannel.  The binding is a solid pink from Maywood Studios.

I quilted vertical lines over most of the quilt with horizontal lines across the center.  The "B-bop" is appliquéd on with a satin stitch. 

Happy Quilting!

Dogwood Dresden

So I'm trying to organize (clean up) my scraps and have been working hard at them but then I get distracted...

I came across some of Moda's Dogwood Trail charm squares and a bit of yardage left over from a previous project.  Here's the result:

Size:  13.5" x 13.5"

I cut Dresden wedges from ten charm squares (two from each), finished each end, sewed them together, and then stitched them onto a 13.5" background of Northcott Stonehenge (black) already sandwiched with batting and backing.  I'm already picturing it in other colors - like Christmas.

Happy Quilting!

Undersea Adventures

Pattern:  Panel Magic, Tiny 57 by Pieced Tree Patterns

Size:  35.5" x 53.5"

Panel & border fabric:  Stonehenge Kids by Northcott

Accent fabric & binding:  Shadow Play by Maywood Studio

Backing:  Della Flannel Stones (Turquoise) by Free Spirit

Batting:  Hobbs Heirloom 80/20

I quilted wavy lines horizontally mimicking the border print.

I have another Underseas Adventures panel to use at a later date - I just have to decide what to do with it :)

Happy Quilting!

Woodland Tails & More

Size:  36.25" x 44.25"

This quilt started with the following four fabrics from the Woodland Tails line by Sheri Berry Designs for Riley Blake Designs:

I especially loved the little blue mouse so added Flock (blue dots) by Thomas Knauer for Andover Fabrics and Color Weave by P & B Textiles (also used it for the binding).

Finally, I pulled the yellow print from my stash (which I think is from P & B Textiles) & also the polka dot print with the purple, pink, green & blue which was also from my stash:

I cross-hatched the entire quilt with approximately 1" lines.  The batting is Hobbs Heirloom 80/20.  The backing is Nursery Flannel ~ Crumbs Shell ~ Cloud9  Fabric, 100% certified organic cotton.  It was beautiful to work with!

Happy Quilting!

Chevrons - at last!

Ever since Quilting Quickly - Summer 2013 came out I've been waiting for chevron fabric to arrive at Serge & Sew.  I knew it had been ordered ages ago but I also know that fabric just comes when it comes no matter when it's ordered.  Finally some came from Northcott's Feathered Friends line so I could make my version of Hard Candy.

I used a Maywood Studio Shadow Play and my EZ Quilter Easy Dresden Ruler instead of the template (the template was longer) so my finished circle is approximately 19" across.  I quilted 1/2" lines in a spiral (starting near the center) before appliquéing the circle with Lite Steam-A-Seam 2.  On the back I used a gold coloured fabric from Cranston Print Works from my stash.  For batting I used Hobbs Heirloom 80/20.
