You just can’t have too many pinwheel quilt patterns, right?? This week’s tutorial is another brand new take on the pinwheel and it’s called the Disappearing Pinwheel Five! It’s amazing what you can create from a basic classic pattern when you add a couple of extra cuts! It’s easier than it looks and you’re just going to love watching the pattern transfer before your eyes! Enjoy this week’s tutorial and be sure to share your versions on https://quiltsby.me or on social media! 🙂

Snow and tell…
Yes, yes, yes, we are having some more snow. Love it. But it is bitterly cold today! Brrr.
Also, today school was out and we had an appointment to get my oldest daughter braces. We made the trek to the ‘big city’ and she now has a mouth full of metal. Her next appointment she gets a torture device bracket that will stretch her upper jaw, so she has something to look forward to. Always trying to look on the bright side. 🙂
Speaking of bright side, I wanted to show you these quilts. Natalie (my rock star-quilting sister) made these for Christmas and I think they are divine! (heck I’d take any of them)
Isn’t that zig zag amazing!?!? LOVE IT! And the one on the top left is a super sleuth eye spy quilt.
Such fun fabric and ideas. I wish I had half of her energy! (for real) Oh and that batik circle quilt Natalie didn’t make! 🙂 Our friend Amy actually made that for her daughter for graduation. Isn’t that one just gorgeous. Beautiful colors in them all!
Can you believe that Wednesday is already here? This week is just flying by for me. Are you ready for Valentines Day? Have you made anything special? I am hoping to get a few more things crafted before the day of love is over…..but between taxes and paperwork I’ll be surprised if I get a chance. 🙁
Well, I better get going on this day that lies ahead! Have a good one!
Mini Quilts!
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 try out all kinds of new things. You can do things that seemed hard or too time consuming. I have experimented with embroidery, new blocks (Dresden plate!), free motion quilting, and using scraps in a creative way. It is something I highly recommend! So, enjoy these pics of a few of my mini quilts!
Making mini quilts is so much fun…and you can try all kinds of quilting challenges out on a small scale! So, get brave and try something new! Then show us a pic in our forums!
Happy Quilting!
