I finally put together the pillows from the middle of the book. All four are super fast and easy to make, you can use extra blocks, if you made any, or scraps from the quilts. <br />

I used scraps from my Arcadia Square one quilt, my Freebird Coming Home table topper for the first two. The Happy Go Lucky pillow is scraps from the last quilt, Dream Big, I have it pinned and ready to quilt-there is only one in the book that I haven't started yet, just waiting to decided what to use. And the Spot On pillow is different Bonnie and Camille scraps I had on hand. <br />

The smaller two pillows measure at 14 inches each. One was to be 13 1/2, but I made the border slightly bigger. <br />

The larger pillows are 16 inches. I used straight line quilting on three of the four. Chrysanthemums on the Happy Go Lucky pillow. <br />

I backed the Happy Go Lucky with some left over fabric from the quilt border I used on Dream Big. I backed the Arcadia pillow with some orange corduroy. It's a wide wale and pretty soft.<br />

For the little pillows I used a cream corduroy and a white minkey stripe. Bot the are super soft.<br />

The kids have already started using them in forts and fights. I had to snag these pictures before they look well loved. Pillows are such satisfying things to make if you're trying to have a quick, completed project. And really you can never have too many. There is always a shortage is seems around here.Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08828333655337954449noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141122809131879531.post-28904548959085525322014-02-11T21:18:00.001-07:002014-02-11T21:18:26.260-07:00Spot onI have been sewing-just not blogging it seems. I finished up this quilt a long while ago, I just didn't bind it right away. Then with the holidays and Nate's birthday, I kept putting it aside. I even took it up to Quiltbliss with me thinking I may sit and bind there, but I didn't. Funny how that goes. I realized if I didn't focus and get it done I would set it aside until next Christmas.<br />

This quilt is from Simplify by Camille Roskelly, continuing along with sewing though the book. I am still using stash fabric for all these quilts. This is fabric is called Figgy Pudding by Basic Grey for Moda. It came out a few years ago and I bought a bunch of it intending to make a churn dash quilt. Clearly, that never happened, so it ended up here in this quilt.<br />

I quilted this with stipples in the white around the spots and in the setting triangles. I added a soft zigzag in the sashing and the outer border. I did a diagonal stripe in the outermost border. The quilting took quite a long time on this one, just because it's more detailed. But I love how it turned out!<br />

I toyed around with the idea of quilting some snowflakes in the spots, but I really love how they stand out with all that's going on around them. It's a nice 3-D effect I think.<br />

I'm going to leave this quilt out for a bit rather than pack it away with the other holiday stuff, I am still plugging along with my Simplify book goals. I actually have all but one of the quilt pieced. And all the others are pinned and ready to be quilted. I finally purchased pillow forms for the pillows, all four are finished.<br />
<br />
I am still making everything from stash, it's been good, a feel like I am making a small dent! I can't believe how much fabric I have for backing-it's a bit crazy. I also have made three quilts from the Simply Retro book that are in various stages. I'm trying to focus on finishing over the next few weeks. I went to a quilt retreat, Quiltbliss in Heber a few weeks ago and am inspired to begin a few new projects. A lot of them are scrap projects, which is much needed around here. Even though I have been working from my stash, I haven't been using scraps really. So I have an abundance and they are multiplying on their own it seems. So maybe after I finish the Simplify projects I will begin on the year of the scrap. <br />

This is a small table topper from the Simplify book called Coming Home. I used a charm pack called Freebird for the blocks and a Kona solid for the blocks and border. This is another one where I had everything in my stash. <br />

I stippled the middle and did some loops on the borders. This one is a super fast project. It can be put together in just a few hours. The final size is 36 inches square.

I have been using up stash fabric all year long. There seems to be no end, which is great! But also a little embarrassing. I had a bunch of this fabric set aside to make a quilt, just waiting for the right pattern. The quilt is pretty big! It is a good sized throw! The fabric is Simple Abundance by Bonnie and Camille. I also added a few other fabrics that coordinate. I love the way this turned out! I decided to do some cross hatch quilting, which took quite a while. The quilting lines are about an inch and a half apart. The quilting took much longer than the cutting, piecing, and sewing. But it suits the fabric and the pattern, so all the time was worth it.

I am still sewing through Simplify by Camille Roskelly pretty regularly, just haven't been blogging about it all lately. Hopefully I can get all caught up with the blogging though!<br />
<br />
I used some Holly Jolly that I have had in my stash for quite some time. I love how all the squares look like Christmas packages. I added a narrow pieced border around the outside. When I to the outside border, I decided not to scallop it. I went back and forth, but knew some other scallops were coming up in the book. <br />

I quilted loopy stars in the middle and stippled around the outer border. I bound with scrappy binding in the spirit of using up my scraps and leftovers. The back is a cream flannel.

I added the final border on my modern medallion quilt. I decided to come back to the medallion center with a yellow and white half square triangle border. The final quilt is just under 70 inches square. It has been an interesting journey with this quilt. I didn't have an overall plan from the beginning, so it's been a bit organic in its development. I am pleased with the results so far. I have the backing and some binding ready, so onto quilting this one!Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08828333655337954449noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141122809131879531.post-75832352740803351942013-08-14T10:25:00.000-06:002013-08-14T10:25:03.471-06:00Modern Medallion Border 4I added some bold orange and blue on this border.

The size at this point is about 60 inches square. I didn't really follow the widths the group did entirely.

I struggled quite a lot with the next border. I initially was just going to do some four patches, but after putting them together and putting them next to the quilt, I didn't like it at all. So I used some shot cotton and made a frame around the first border to break things up. Then I added the four patches with some white. The next border is piano keys. <br />
<br />
I am not beyond this point yet, but I have a plan :).Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08828333655337954449noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141122809131879531.post-29700049378109017112013-08-02T06:30:00.000-06:002013-08-02T06:30:02.688-06:00Little Man Quilt from Simplify<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The blocks went together really quickly and it would be easy to make a much bigger version. <br />

I didn't have any of the right pink on hand for the binding, so I ended up buying some Kona solid in Camilla. I used a Sandi Henderson Henna Garden print on the back in yellow.<br />

I have been very slowly working on my medallion for <a href="http://broadbentsmqg.blogspot.com/">Broadbents Modern Quilt Group</a>. I had a hard time deciding what I was envisioning and where to go next. This is the first border. It is 6.5 inches wide.<br />
<br />
My favorite part about the medallion challenge, is everyone's are so different. A lot of creativity and thought goes into everyone's projects.

I have so many precuts that I haven't cut into, so one day I decided to just start making things from my stash. And that morphed into deciding to sew through Simplify. I am currently three projects into the book.<br />
<br />

One thing I have learned about older precuts is they are not the uniform size they are now. This is the <a href="http://www.unitednotions.com/fcc_arcadia.pdf">Arcadia</a> line and it only had 36 squares in it's charm pack. Therefore, this quilt doesn't look like the one in the book because that project would require 42 squares. I didn't even notice this until I started putting the rows together, and by then I decided 36 square would be just fine.<br />
<br />

The pattern called for a raw edge binding and I love the way it turned out. You just use leftover honey bun strips folded in half. The first time I washed the quilt it was a linty mess, but it stopped shedding pretty quickly.<br />

I stitched two rows over the binding for extra strength. I love this line of fabric and I love the way this quilt turned out. It was a great first project from the book with easy to follow instructions.

I have been slow to blog lately but I have been sewing a bit more. Between baseball, end of school, vacation, and summer, blogging has taken a bit of a backseat. <br />

I used a dark purple Kona Cotton and a white on the front. I used an Anna Maria Horner print on the back. I love the simplicity of the patter and the contrast. I must say though, there is a lot of trimming. But the quilt comes together pretty fast.<br />

The <a href="http://broadbentsmqg.blogspot.com/">Modern Quilt Group</a> I attend at Broadbent's here in Lehi is doing a Modern Medallion quilt for this six month session. Each month we add another border after getting ideas and tips from <a href="http://sadiebird.blogspot.com/">Kristin</a>, <a href="http://thelittleredhenquilts.blogspot.com/">JoyLyn</a>, and <a href="http://aroundthequiltblock.blogspot.com/">Anna</a>. I decided I was going to make something low volume and I am hankering for some sunshine, so that is the center of my quilt. Also in the spirit of using up stash fabrics and fabrics I love, I cut into some of my Heather Ross goldfish. I already know what I want to do for my first border and hope to get it added this week. <br />
<br />
I loved seeing everyone's medallions and how different they were. We have <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/2131400@N25/">flickr</a> group featuring all the medallions in addition to our regular <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1711056@N23">flickr</a> group-go take a look!Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08828333655337954449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141122809131879531.post-63612681084406351152013-03-12T07:30:00.000-06:002013-03-12T07:30:02.430-06:00Baby in the HoodI have had <a href="http://www.annamariahorner.com/">Anna Maria Horner's</a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Handmade-Beginnings-Sewing-Projects-Welcome/dp/0470497815">Handmade Beginnings</a> book for months. My baby is starting to get too big to fit in some of the clothes, but there is always a baby around to sew for. I did make two of these little Baby in the Hood jackets. One in the 3-6 month size and one in the 18-24 month size. I made them out of the same fabric and with the same notions. Tessa loves coats and jackets and promptly put hers on. The other was a gift for a sweet baby girl from my old neighbor hood.<br />

I stitched a label in the back with the size tag on it. Maybe one of these days I will get around to buying some premade ones, but I do like the look of the little fabric labels.<br />

The instructions and pattern were really clear and easy to follow, but there were a lot of steps. It felt like even more making the jacket two times. I used <a href="http://www.rileyblakedesigns.com/blog/2011/03/01/sugar-and-spice/">Riley Blake Sugar and Spice</a> by the <a href="http://thequiltedfish.typepad.com/the-quilted-fish/">Quilted Fish</a> for the jackets. It's been around for about two years and it's about time that I destashed it! </div>

I am finally posting these, we have had a few playoff games this week that have limited my computer time. <a href="http://www.thebossyquilter.blogspot.com/">Jessica</a> and I are making <a href="http://www.dearjane.com/">Baby Jane</a> quilts this year ahead. We are aiming to finish two blocks a week. It doesn't feel like too much, but these blocks do require attention to detail.

My friend Eve, had a pattern for a fish washcloth and she taught me how to make it. It involves increasing and decreasing and is good practice for some basic skills. At the time we were living in a condo, waiting for our home to be built and I was driving the kids to school and picking them up and waiting in the car a lot. So I would bring the fish pattern and ball of sugar and cream yarn with me and make fish while I waited. Now I have more fish wash clothes than a person could use.<br />

These aren't even all of them, some have disappeared around the house. By then end I was making small fish with the leftover yarn. The fish vary in size depending on how tight I held things, I got better with gauge as time went on. It kept my hands busy and was a lifesaver during those waits, I also read a few books while waiting as well. One ball of the sugar and cream yarn made two fish. I like the orange the best.Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08828333655337954449noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141122809131879531.post-52669601594204026502013-03-01T10:12:00.000-07:002013-03-01T10:12:00.335-07:00Valentine Hearts<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I made this heart wristlets for the girls for Valentine's Day. They came from a tutorial on Sew Mam Sew that has disappeared-or I would link to it. I used scraps (yay!) for the whole project. They are pretty small, the zippers are just four inches across, so just coins or small treasures fit inside them. The girls loved them though and Tessa totes her 'purse' around regularly.Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08828333655337954449noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141122809131879531.post-78101135075730766142013-02-27T09:58:00.002-07:002013-02-27T09:59:05.895-07:00Salt Air Quilt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This quilt is made from a layer cake of <a href="http://storefront.unitednotions.com/storefrontCommerce/search.do?searchType=keyword&keyword=salt+air&emailAddress=">Salt Air</a> by Cosmo Cricket. I bought it last year the Home Machine Quilting Show and am so glad I made something out of it before the show rolls around again. The pattern is a <a href="http://www.modabakeshop.com/2012/01/you-zig-ill-zag-quilt.html">Moda Bake Shop Pattern called You Zig I'll Zag</a>. It went together really quickly and the instructions were clear. I used the blue splash print for the setting triangles and the outer border. In each setting triangle I quilted a sea creature or scene.<br />

I bound the quilt with a solid blue. I finished this quilt almost two weeks ago, I just hadn't had a moment to sit down and blog it. It reminds me of the beach and summer and warm weather-which we are more than ready for. It had been more wintry this year than in years past. I like the snow-except for driving, just ready for some sunshine. If the sun isn't in the sky, put it in a quilt.</div>

I am a really really slow decorator, we have been here for seven months and I have put nothing on the walls. I decided I wanted something with a monogram that would look framed and hang on the wall at the top of the stairs. I looked for fonts that I liked and decided to use the 'M' from my signature in the end, just so it would be more personalized.<br />

Then I just put the quilt together using the basic triangle shapes of the scraps. The project went together really fast and I am pleased with the final result.<br />

I used a Kaffe Fasset print that I have had forever on the back, I still have quite a bit left, it's been in my stash so long I don't remember where I even bought it. Yay for using stuff I have on hand and using scraps. I still need to put a sleeve on the back and decide what I am going to hang it with (any suggestion welcome!) I think when I put up one thing I will want to start on others, the first is always the most difficult.

She requested a room filled with purple and we are almost ready to put it all together. We have paint for the walls and a few decorations. I knew I wanted to make her a new quilt, something a little more grown up. I found the backing first and went from there. It's a Ty Pennington print. If you look closely you can tell where it is pieced.<br />

I did swirls on the polka dots and daisies on the flowers for quilting. And a straight line across the squares. I didn't want the quilting to really overwhelm the business that is already inherent in the fabric. On the green I did some horizontal lines. <br />

It fulfilled my need to put something together quickly and have something that will look good on her bed. I have a plan to make some pillows or shams to go with the quilt.

Everyone comes up with such amazing things, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1711056@N23">I love show and tell!</a> This time we got a packet of 75 six inch squares of fabric.

I used a very light grey for my solid, I know it looks white in photos, it's not. I backed this quilt with a Amy Butler print that I have had for quite some time. It was just the right size, I love using stuff I already have. I bound it with a navy blue print by Alexander Henry, I used it in these<a href="http://sewaccomplished.blogspot.com/2009/07/ottobre-dresses.html"> dresses</a> a few years ago.<br />

I love how it turned out. I like to call it the maze quilt.<br />
<br />
This has been quite a year with lots of change and movement of our family. I was surprised to see I have only managed to blog 8 times! I feel like I have sewn, so I must have let blogging be the thing to slip. We have moved twice and are now settled in our home. That alone should improve my blogging. I have been reflecting on my sewing goals for 2013 and am excited for the year ahead!

I love how this quilt turned out. I loved that it used up a lot of scraps and that I actually made something with scraps! I backed it with a super soft fabric that gave me terrible fits. It was plush and soft on both sides and made for a lot of broken needles. I wanted to give up at one point, but I am glad I didn't.<br />

I don't know how many times I have made this bag, it's such a convenient diaper bag. This one is made with Madrona Road fabric, I love the way it turned out. I had just enough of these prints to make this bag with hardly any scraps. <br />

I also made a little receiving blanket. It is flannel and cotton. I was pleasantly surprised to find out the baby had a nursery decorated in a space theme. The orange rockets fit right in! It's a self-binding blanket.Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08828333655337954449noreply@blogger.com1
