Pattern Design and Fabric Printing

I received my first order from Spoonflower last week. I’ve been wanting to try out their digital printing services for quite a while. I finally did it. My package included fabric swatches, a printed color map and a some fabric samples of my own designs! How did I came to this? Well back in November, […]

Jack’s Chain Pillow Finished

A small post today to share my Jack’s Chain pillow, which I’ve finished on Tuesday. On the front I used a serpentine stitch for the quilting. I’ve seen a couple of people using it. I think the first time was in the book Quilting Modern by Jacquie Gering and Katie Pederson.  I really like the […]

I had a bit of time to sew this week. But before I show you on what I have worked on, I want to say thank you for all your great comments on my Amalgam and Stretched Shoo Fly quilts. I really appreciate it. Also, I wanted to say a special thanks to Agnes and […]

Amalgam Quilt Finished

I finished my Amalgam quilt  last week (see previous post here, here and here). I was able to take some pictures of it when we went skating with the kids. For the quilting, I was inspired by a template (see the Cathedral Window Style Quilting Pattern) I found on Pinterest. I was already considering doing some […]

Amalgam Quilt – Piecing

I finished piecing my latest quilt (see previous posts here and here). I thought I would share a couple of pictures of the progress I made in the past weeks. Did you noticed the change in the quilt name? Yes, I finally settled on a name for it. In and Out quilt became Amalgam quilt. I brainstormed ideas […]

In And Out Quilt: Cutting

I’m finally back to this project. I’m still not sure how to name this quilt. A friend suggested I Want to Break Free as the song by Queen. Or maybe Connect. Since I’m not sure yet, it will remain In and Out quilt for now. I’ve finally cut into my fabrics for the quilt top […]
