you know…April Cornell. (har-har) I just couldn’t resist any longer. I just had to rip open a honey-bun. Oh the possibilities I have found playing with the beautiful color combinations. Mmmm…..I can’t wait to show you. Have a great WEDNESDAY!! (can you believe that this week is almost halfway over!??!) *Just a reminder to [...]
Check out the little “Snippet” of joy I’ve been working on at my house! As seems to be the case for me it looks nothing like the pattern I started with but I think I like it Can you see the pattern in there? It started out with blocks like these, And it turned into [...]
I have recently joined a few of the mini quilt swaps that are going on around the internet. It has been really fun to make mini quilts. Its totally new to me as I have always made larger quilts, or table runners. But, mini quilts are so small that you can really be creative and [...]
In this ironing board tutorial, Jenny shows you how to make a great crafting/quilting ironing board that you will love! It saves so much time. This is in response to a request from our forum quilters here,
Our Friday night ladies LOVE to show off what they are making! We have been extremely impressed with them! Here are a few projects that they have been working on. This is a floral log cabin, that is set to make a swirl pattern. We all loved how she took a basic block and was [...]
We’ve been working on building out the Kansas City chapter of Quilts for Kids (a charity sponsored in part by Downy’s Touch of Comfort campaign)for a while now and are excited to host our first event. Now if you’re not from Kansas City, don’t fret, you can either mail in the quilt tops and we’ll [...]
How many of you have made cutoffs you wished were cuter? Well here you go! Measure your jeans to the desired length, add 4″ and cut off. It’s ok if there is a whole in the knee, 3″ will be folded up as a cuff so just make sure it’s within the cuff area that [...]
Wow, hard to believe that Jelly Roll week is coming to a close! Darn, but like Moda Lissa said, every week is a jelly roll week! Let’s be honest….we are all addicted to those sweet rolls of 2-1/2 inch bliss. Anyway, thanks for hanging out with us, and commenting away. The winner of the [...]
I made this rug for my daughter’s bedroom. And thought I would share a couple thoughts on things I love and don’t love. First I would probably suggest sewing your strips on with the right sides facing out instead of in. So, that even when it’s been stepped on you’ll still see the pretty colors! [...]
Like Mom was saying it was such a fun way to put together those stars. ( All with strips from a jelly roll.) This pattern was such a blast to make. I look at that quilt and can see it in bright crazy colors….or Christmas colors or red, white and blue or black and white [...]
For real! Could this be any cuter? Stripey-strip circles just might be my new favorite thing. I know, I know. I sound like an obnoxious adolescent that exclaims every song on the radio her favorite. (hey I can say that…I have one!) I just get so excited about all the possibilities these pre-cuts [...]
If you are anything like us, we assume y’all get a “hanker-ing” to make a purse or tote bag. Jelly rolls make it easy, that’s why we LOVE them! We hope you are enjoying all of the possiblities you have when you use these great Jelly Rolls. *jelly roll used for the purse shown [...]
The fence rail, in my opinion is a fabulous go-to block. It is quick and virtually pain free. The best part for me about using a Jelly roll for this quilt (and pattern) is the variety you get. I am all about the ‘scrappier’ look, and LOVE that it all coordinates! It really does make [...]
The Jelly roll pattern we are featuring today is called “Gooseberries” This was inspired by a quilt I saw several weeks ago though but I don’t know who to credit for it or even it’s original name. This is somewhat different than the original though, what I loved about the original quilt was how the [...]
So this is an AMAZING, fun and fast way to make a block, that has the look of a “string quilt” block or an hourglass block. The cool thing about this idea is that you are able to either make it very matchy-matchy or you have the freedom to make it very random and scrappy. [...]
