Happy Valentines day

2012-02-12T23:08:00.000-08:00

Before I left for my trip I made my hubby who was staying behind a early valentines day gift. Nothing says I love you like a Chocolate Beet Cake. (right?)

I found this recipe in the costco connection magazine that came in January and since I had some beets laying around that needed to be used before I left, I thought this would be a good treat.

Overall the cake was easy to make and good, not too sweet but it was bit dense and heavy in texture. It was a good try for my first beet cake. The fruits on top which I added was a good touch it not only made it pretty but nice to eat together.

If anyone has some beets laying around and want to try this, here is the link.

HAVE A GREAT VALENTINES DAY....

fat quarter bundle

layer cake

jelly roll

Check these off my list

2012-01-16T16:35:00.000-08:00

At the beginning of this year, I posted about all the quilt tops that have been stacking up and needed to be finished. That post is here. I'm so pleased to have 2 completed and can't be more happy with how they all turned out.

This one didn't get finished in time for the holidays but is now ready for next years celebration.

(kit here)

when I was creating the quilt back, I had originally decided to make this into a wall hanging. So I thought a good idea would be to use up some jo-anns Christmas flannel from a couple of years ago since no one would see the back. I ended up piecing a bunch of different flannels together along with some grey solid scraps.

I'm not a big fan of jo-anns fabric quality, but the flannels turned out to be a good choice and use of fabrics from my stash. Once this was finished I decided to keep in as a quilt and not turn it into a wall hanging. I also tried my hand at a little free hand quilting around the boarders, so much fun!

the binding is that's all stripe from Michael Miller's holiday fabrics, which is currently on sale.

the next quilt I completed is made out of Anna Maria Horner's little folks voile's, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE how it turned out.

this is also a quilt kit, here.

I love the back on this, which is little folks flannel forest hills in glow. It is so soft. I had some scraps of voile that I used together with the flannel as a chunky boarder on one of the sides.

I did some straight lined quilting and bound it in dobby dots lilac from the original pastry line from little folks.

I love this quilt and the voile is just so nice and soft to snuggle in.

Pre-New Year Resolution

2011-12-29T19:49:00.001-08:00

It's 2 days away from the start of 2012 and I already have one new year resolution planned!.........

.......to finish all my quilt tops that have been hanging in my closet from the start of this year (actually there are 2 that are older than that, EEK) that have gotten pushed down the pile when something new takes my interest.

I'm totally not one of these people that can finish a quilt from start to finish. I usually can get the top done, then find another quilt that has captured my attention that I just have to start to make, hence the 7 quilt tops from the above picture. Yes, that is right I have SEVEN unfinished quilt tops hanging in my closet begging me to finish them each time I pass by. You can find the original post about each one below.

1. Grand Bazaar (eek, never got the chance to post about this one! it's going to be a quilt kit for the shoppe...coming soon)
2. Hungry Hippo zig zag (ekk, never posted about this one either)
3. Pick a bunch, organic Random reflections (this is a quilt kit here)
4. Amy Butler and Chain Link (my all time favorite)
5. Little Apples
6. Sanctuary Half Square Triangle
7. Andrea Victoria-New Wave (another one never mentioned... it will be)

Number 8 would be my baby quilt of Little apples, that is all pinned and ready to be quilted. Actually as I'm writing this, my little quilt is almost done and ready to be bound and snuggled.

As you can tell from the picture of quilt tops 4 of them were done for quilt kits for the shoppe while the other 4 were for my personal projects. This coming year, I will be featuring a lot more quilts that I personal make with free tutorials as well as a few quilt kits to be purchased.

Another great thing to look forward to will be our weekly link up parties, where you can link what you have sewed on throughout the week. These will be every Friday, but more information on that shortly.

a reminder that today is Thursday and have you bought your Customer Appreciation Sale Fat Quarter for only $1.25 yet?

Don't forget because tomorrow it will be a different fabric. this print can be found here or here.

last min present bags -Featured tutorial

2011-12-23T14:54:00.001-08:00

I'm sure, if you are a avid blog or pinterest follower you have seen these adorable lined drawstring bags popping up everywhere.

These adorable bags are a creation of Jeni from In Color Order, who's blog I frequent often to get inspired for bright new projects. This bag is a FREE tutorial she has posted on her blog or can be found here. She also has created a pattern for purchase of many different sizes of these lined bags.

I made these 2 bags for my daughters pre-school teachers which I filled with baked goodies.

The fabrics are from Timeless Treasures Tiny town in PINK and BLACK.

The toadstools and Eastwind woven ribbons were a fun addition instead of using fabric. Both bags were great hits with the teachers and little lana had so much fun giving them away.

These 3 bags were made for gifts, the 2 made out of Apple houses for little lana's friends and the other out of the new Tuxedo prints is going to be used for a secret elf gift filled with handmade dish scrubbies.

I again used woven ribbons for the drawstrings as well.

All items I used for these adorable, fun and quick lined drawstring bags can be found here. A great thanks for jeni and her fun free tutorial I had tons of fun pairing fabrics and creating this fun bags.

lumber (jill) hats

2011-11-28T22:02:00.000-08:00

I was so blessed to have family visit for a few weeks before thanksgiving, which meant my little one had a cousin to play with. They had tons of fun playing together and entertaining each other. While they were busy playing we got busy making them these cute lumber jack hats. I now call them lumber jill hats, since we only have girls in our families... We found the tutorial off pinterest, which we have pinned here for you.

We went to jo-anns and found remnant cuts of the fleece, and then used our frosted rose cuddle fabric we sell here.

they turned out so cute, and even if they didn't last long the girls loved them. they were such a popular hit we have 3 more orders for adult size ones for other family members. Guess we will be making some early Christmas presents.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas wall hanging

2011-11-22T13:35:00.000-08:00

I am so happy with how this wall hanging turned out. I first showed you it here.

I knew when we got in the Christmas fabric from the Grinch collection I wanted to create a wall hanging with the panel fabric.

This panel fabric is so adorable, and tells the story of the Grinch who stole Christmas. I brainstormed and came up with using the panel for the main portion of the wall hanging so I would have the story included.

I cut the panels out and arranged them to make up the body of the Christmas tree. I then calculated what I needed and filled in with the white.

using stripes in green added a nice touch for the trunk.

I quilted lines about 1 inches apart to out line the tree.

which I have to say I really love the look... :)

I boarded it with Whoville people red which helped the tree to stand out.

i love this stripe in crimson, and so glad I used it for the binding.

The backing is backed with Jelly Bean Egg Toss Chartruese, and i'm so pleased with the look of using one fabric

aren't these adorable?

After the wall hanging was done, there was just something missing, so I hand stiched in green shinny floss around the tree. this topped it off.

i love my Grinch wall hanging. Now..... what can you create with a yard of this adorable panel fabric?

lined to :

$25 craigslist find...can't get any better

2011-10-13T22:10:00.000-07:00

For months I have been searching for a hanging quilt rack to hang my quilts as well as use as a display board. For months I struggled to find one in my price range, size and look I wanted. FINALLY one day on craigslist, I just happened to type in the search box quilt rack and a posting popped up for $25 for a 70 inches hanging quilt rack!!!!! I could not believe it.. I called right away and drove 20 min to pick it up...[score!!!!]

I bought it from a couple who had it sitting in there garage for YEARS because she didn't quilt or had the room to hang it. WHAT A DEAL! so this thing is supper long, I mean 70 inches it's huge.. and I love it. The best part is I asked if they had anymore and they DID. The husband, was using a standing quilt rack to hang his pants on.. He let me have it for $5, which made me even more happy since I was also looking for a standing one as well..

Craigslist is a hit or miss, but this day was a HIT...thanks you craigslist Gods...

Giving my sewing machine a rest...

2011-10-09T15:19:00.000-07:00

Is exsactly what I did last weekend as I'm learning to knit. I wanted to start something fairly easy and what could be more easy then a scarf. It originally started out to be a scarf for my husband but as I was making it, I realized that the width was fitted better for a child.

It's a little wonky but overall a great attempt.

I found this scarf with a tutorial and I pinned it, HERE if anyone wants to start to knit.

I found a better scarf for my husband which includes 3 different colors. It's turning out to be a challenge adding in the different colors and isen't perfect, but I know he will love it. Show you the end result soon! but if you want to make one too, it's pinned HERE.

"Circles" strip quilt DONE!

2011-10-04T16:09:00.000-07:00

We first sneeked you all a peak of the circles strip quilt HERE then another peek HERE . We are happy to say this quilt project is now done, and we are so happy with the way it turned out!

We took all of our favorite prints out of this collection and cut them into different sizes, we also added in some solids to break up the circles.

I used some of my little one's stickers and marked them with the numbers for my rows so I made sure not to get my order mixed. After my top was all put together, I decided I wanted to quilt the top a bit before I attached it to my rose cuddle backing. I found this tutorial on pinterest on making a no binding quilt, which I really liked because you still can quilt the top.

I just did some straight line quilting randomly on some of the strips, which added some design and texture.

I then sewed my top and bottom right sides together leaving a opening for turning. Oh course I used rose cuddle minky and totally love it!

details:
fabric top- metro living circles
backing- frosted rose cuddle in brown
measures- 38" x 46"

2011-09-27T21:38:00.000-07:00

I'm in love with metro living circles from Robert Kaufman found here especially the turquoise, fuchsia and chartreuse colors.

These circles are so much fun, remember when we made our wall hanging tutorial here?

What I did was pick my favorites along with some great solids of white and brights.

This will be a strip quilt, as you can see. And I can't wait to show you the end result, let just say there's some rose cuddle involved.

Rose Cuddle strip quilt

2011-09-26T14:10:00.000-07:00

One of my forever friends wanted to make her little son a fun, warm blanket for this winter. She picked her favorite prints which included fabrics from Urban Zoologie, Smirk and metro living circles. She backed it with rose cuddle in camel. I can't tell you enough how much I love this fabric! It's so soft and awesome you just want to snuggle.

She made a strip quilt by cutting the fabrics in different widths but keeping the length of the fabric, this gave the quilt a fun, funky feel. Once the strips were all sewn together she put right side together with the rose cuddle and sewed up all the edges. Basically she followed our tutorial HERE on making a blanket using rose cuddle.

Another great thing she did was make it long, that way her little boy can grow into it and always have a great blanket to snuggle.

Don't forget to grab a quilt kit we have made out of the rose cuddle fabric HEREwe have only girls in stock but this week will be listing more girls and boy kits.

also we just got in from the AMAZING Suzy Ultman and her new collection CRITTER COMMUNITY both panel fabrics in bermuda and retro orange.

"Orange You Glad"

2011-09-14T15:36:00.000-07:00

When we first gave a sneak peak of this quilt HERE, we didn't know what to call it. Thanks to some suggestions from YOU our awesome readers on what to name it we had some great names to pick from. We loved the name "Orange you glad" from Sallie (thanks sallie), so here it is..

ORANGE YOU GLAD....

This quilt is entirely made up of greys and oranges, which I think makes a awesome combo!

This awesome quilt was so easy and fun to make. I found this pattern out of a old Fons and Porter's quilt magazine, back from Fall 09, it's titled Easy quilts -18 quick projects. The name of the quilt is called Serendipity. I tried to go onto their website and link it but could not find it anywhere. It's seems to have been removed.. :(

This quilt is made up of 5 different prints many of these prints are either sold out or discontinued but here they all are for references.
SPOTTED OWL SMOKE -Alexander Henry
BLOOM GREY - Paula prass
HUEVOS GREY - Michael miller
ZEN GARDEN SHERBET - patty young
CIRCLES ON ORANGE - Lizzy house

The back is pieced using metro circles orange for half and dot n square for the other half. Sandwiched between these two pieces is a pieced bordered strip using the same fabric left overs from the front.

It's quilted using a wonky square free motion designed that I first had seen over on Oh Fransson. I loved the look from the start. Mine is a big more wonky then hers, since I'm still a newbie at free motion quilting, but I love the look none the less.

details:
measurements: 54" x 72"
5 fabrics used
pieced backing
binding: holly jolly polka dot grey
quilted: free motion wonky squares by me

little folks strip quilt tutorial

2011-08-26T22:56:00.000-07:00

Love, Love, Love this quilt.

When we first got in Little Folks fabric about 6 months ago I longed to make up a quilt using a bunch of all these great prints. (so hard to narrow it down) So I decided to make a strip quilt making sure I got in all of my favorites.

I kept the width of the fabric since voile's measure about 54" wide and picked my must haves, which ended up being 22 prints. (eek)

Being a strip quilt I cut the fabrics all different widths, giving some dimension to the quilt. Since I wanted to include all 22 fabrics I did not have a certain length in mind. Just went with what ever size it turned out being.

Which ended up being really long... A good size throw for sure.

I backed it with Forest Hills Sweet. I loved it so much I could not bare to cut into it.

I machine quilted straight lines across, in a variety of places. Then I hand stitched with pearl cotton the same, in a variety of places. I made sure that the pearl cotton did not match with the fabric, I wanted it to stand out.

I bounded it in marine and coral dobby dot from the pastry line, that coordinates so well with little folks. (the dobby dot is now retired but the pastry line without the dots are available)

Over all I LOVE this quilt. I can't wait for it to get a bit cooler so I can snuggle..

Here are the other details: Little Folks Strip Quilt

measures: 47" x 94"
22 prints for little folks voile
