Just My Type! by Tamarinis for Island Batik

 

This week, I had the pleasure of working with the new Just My Type fabric from Island Batik designed by Tamarinis. 


2020 has been a year of adjustment, and one big adjustment has been dressing for working at home and Zoom meetings.  This fabric was perfect for my Scarves to Share Cutie Pattern.  The pattern calls for 16 fat eighths to make two scarves so I used each fat quarter twice in my scarf.


Check out Just My Type fabric and update your work from home wardrobe!

Electric Blue A La Moda

My  A La Mode Cutie Pattern  looks great in every color combination I've tried, and I've tried MANY! Kits for this quilt  are on sale so you can make one (or a dozen), too! I love black and white fabrics, and I also love experimenting to see how they play off different background colors. Hot aqua, anyone? I decided to go with my favorite ribbon candy quilting on this quilt, because I quilted this when I needed some extra fun in my life (meaning, any time in 2020).  I teach how to stitch Ribbon Candy  in my  First Steps to Free-Motion Quilting online class , both free-motion, and using a stencil. This quilt is awaiting its forever home.  I'm sure it will be loved wherever it eventually lives.

 Scott from 4th and Main Designs tempted me beyond my ability to resist and I just had to make his Tuscan Vintage quilt . It was a perfect "I don't feel well" remedy and I enjoyed piecing and quilting it. I filmed as I quilted this quilt, so watch and see the loveliness unfold!

For the Love of a Scrap Quilt

Image
 I am in the middle of a month of medical treatments that leave me feeling punky and the best medicine for that is to jump into my scraps and make a new scrap quilt. Fortunately, the newest Quilter's World Magazine arrived in my mailbox at the perfect time!  Tricia Lynn Maloney designed Ski Party using a brightly colored jelly roll.  I knew I had scrappy gray 2 1/2" strips already cut in my stash, so I toned down her adorable quilt. I could complain about the really bright sun on this autumn day and how it washed out the color in my photograph a little bit, but I won't because... sun.  In autumn. Inspired by the machine quilting on the sample done by Cheryl Weiderspahn, I stitched a royal blue ribbon meander. I teach the basic meander pattern in my Quilting Essentials: First Steps to Free-Motion Quilting online class. I still have more gray scrappy strips and jelly rolls, and I know that I will more of these quilts while recovering from ongoing medical treatments. Isn
