Punkin Patterns

A rarely used skill

2014-10-22T07:00:00.000-05:00

For those of you who don't know, I am the current VP of the Minneapolis Modern Quilt Guild (MMQG). Being VP has a few extra jobs sometimes - like making a set of corsages.

We (the MMQG board and I) were inspired to make our guests and visitors stand out a little. Our group is growing every month and its so hard to keep up with new members and keep track of guests as well.

These colorful corsages will be loaned to visitors at our monthly meetings so we can spot them in the crowd and go say "hello" and make them feel welcome.

I whipped these up at our last board meeting. I couldn't decide on just one color so I went with several so people could pick which color they would like to wear.

The flowers are "silk", of course, so they can be reused again and again.

At an early age, my mother taught me how to wire and tape flowers (both silk and real) and shape them any way I want - corsages, bouquets, table arrangements and wreaths. She used to work as a florist, before I was born, making wedding bouquets and funeral swags. She shared her knowledge on all things "floral" as I was growing up and I learned a lot more than I ever realized - I know how to wire a flower (silk or real) and how to do certain ones (some require a delicate touch because they bruise easily and some you can be rough with), how to store them and how to keep them beautiful (the fresh ones that is). I know when to use Oasis vs Styrofoam and that the sound of someone cutting Styrofoam is the worst sound in the world to me. And to never, ever store flowers in the fridge if fruit is in there.

We used the corsages at our October MMQG meeting and we had so many guests we almost ran out! I may need to add a few more. I wonder if I can get these flowers in blue.....

Strawberry Pillow

2014-10-08T14:16:00.000-05:00

I found something growing in the yard.

Na, just kidding.

It's a strawberry pillow. Isn't it super cute?

The instructions for this pillow are on the Purl Bee. I only made the one pillow (the instructions make two) and had to make a few changes because I was a little short on the red pin dot fabric, but it worked.

I used a red pin dot from RJR fabrics and for the stem, I used Moda Cross Weave Wovens in Wasabi. The cross weave was not the best choice for the stem because there was a little stuffing in there and I had to be very careful about stuffing it, but it was the perfect color (and I love the name Wasabi) so I made it work.

This pillow has found it's way onto my daughter's bed. Who would have thought?

It fits in nicely with her other pillows, Teddy's and favorite doll.

Gift Bag Totes Down Under

2014-10-02T11:18:00.000-05:00

I'm excited to finally share a project I made for Legacy's launch (which came out yesterday) in select Spotlight stores in Australia.

Several months ago, Legacy sent me some fabric and materials to make some bright floral gift bag totes. I made three versions of the gift bag tote in two sizes. The Gift Bag Tote instructions can be found on free project sheets you can just grab in Spotlight stores and use later.

How cool is that?

If you don't live near a Spotlight Store, you can get the free tutorial from Legacy.

These little totes aren't just for gifts like the name implies - although they are so adorable as gift bags. They are so versatile. They are great for holding knitting projects or embroidery projects, as an adorable book bag -- so many, uses!

These two totes went to my Mom and mother-in-law for Mother's Day. Honestly I forget which one has which tote. I let my husband pick the one for his Mom.

I kept the little one and use it to hold my yarn as I knit.

This one (below) was my favorite. Love the colors (and the stripes). It reminds me of France -- the fields of sunflowers I saw speeding along on the TGV and a striped sun umbrella I once saw on the beach in Cannes.

If you live by a Spotlight Store, check out all the Legacy products and fun project sheets! I'd love to see your finished Gift Bag Totes!

Modern Merry Christmas Pillow Pattern

2014-09-15T19:36:00.002-05:00

I'm happy to announce my latest pattern has been released! - available on Craftsy and Etsy.

The Merry Modern Christmas Pillow pattern is so fun. It is designed to use small scraps in red and white, black and white, and golden yellow (or silver). It is so much fun to make!

It will make a perfect addition to Christmas decorations -- who doesn't love pillows?

A sophisticated and modern take on the classic Santa decorations, the Modern Merry Christmas Pillow is made from your scraps making it a fun and economical sewing project.

After the holidays are over, I'll remove the pillow form and pack the pillow cover away for next year. Then use the pillow form in another pillow case.

Instructions include details on how to make a simple envelope pillow backing - perfect for beginner pillow makers.

The 15 page PDF comes with complete instructions, beautiful computer generated diagrams and color photos. The PDF pattern pages print out directly from your computer onto standard 8.5" x 11" paper.

For home and personal use only. No commercial use.

Sew Together Bags

2014-09-05T07:00:00.000-05:00

In early June, I made two Sew-Together bags and a gathered clutch as teacher gifts. I stayed up late making them the last night before school ended last June. They appeared in my Instagram feed, and suddenly summer happened and I forgot all about blogging them.

So here they are...

It was so hard to give them away, but they were pretty amazing teachers (and teachers' assistant). One of these days, I'll make one for me. (I've got some Tula Pink set aside just for that.)

I love how colorful this one looks!

And the zippers! I love zippers!

For the second, I was going for a vintage French flea market feel.

I added zipper tabs to the inside of the zippers.

I wonder what they use them for. Now that school is started, perhaps I'll stop by and ask.

Have a great weekend!

A little t-shirt for a not so little boy

2014-09-03T11:01:00.001-05:00

School started yesterday! WooHoo! - 6.5 hrs of uninterrupted sewing/designing time every day. It's like Christmas, only better. (The kiddos were also very excited for school to start again.)

This year Connor starts 4th grade! Where has the time gone? He is now gaining on me rapidly in height. His feet are almost as big as mine (they are already bigger than my mom's). He's really growing up and of course he needs new (bigger) clothes all the time and now he told me he wants to "dress more grown up".

I found this simple knit stripe at Jo-Ann's and drafted a pattern from one of his other shirts that fit well. It turned out well -- it fits just like the shirt I modeled it after.

I did quite a bit of fussy cutting on this one so that I could get all the stripes to match up!

I'm so glad the drafted pattern worked out well. (Especially since his wardrobe is mainly t-shirts and shorts/pants). I'm sure I will be using it again ..... at least until he grows out of that size.

Halloween treat bags

2014-08-27T08:18:00.000-05:00

I'm so excited to finally share these Halloween treat bags with you!

The tutorial for these bags can be found in the Sept/Oct 2014 Issue (#7) of Pretty Patches. (See it on the cover in the top right?)

These are so simple to make! I had way too much fun with them. My kids can't wait to use them on Halloween (OK, maybe getting candy has something to do with it too).

My favorite is definitely the BOO! bag which, come October, will by MY tote bag for the month and be used for all my shopping (I may have to make some more).

These are super simple applique bags, so even a beginner can make them!

Go check them out!

Divided Basket

2014-08-25T08:30:00.000-05:00

I made my first (of probably many) divided baskets. Isn't it just cute? The pattern is from Noodlehead and it's great. It came together really quickly.

The fabrics I used were Alexander Henry's Crosshatch for the exterior, a red pin dot for the handles and divider and the lining was Essex. It all worked so well together.

Don't you just love pin dots??

I didn't put the exterior pocket on since I had this in mind as a car organizer and where it will be sitting you wouldn't see the pocket well.

So here it is, filled with all our car necessities!

Included in the divided basket are: sunscreen, wet wipes, lotion, first aid kit, cds, sunglasses, kleenix, hand sanitizer and small garbage bags. They are all so useful! And now they are organized so nicely!

Mother-Daughter Quilt Project

2014-08-22T10:30:00.000-05:00

I'm really excited about this project. It's a quilt I'm making with my mom. (Yay!)

My mom loves to embroider and she has wanted to make an embroidered quilt for a long time. She is also an avid gardener and once upon a time, she was a floral designer for Bachman's. She found some iron-on transfers for the state flowers.

After much thought, we went with Kona PDF (that's "prepared for dyeing") for the squares. We chose PDF for the off-white color more than it's dyeing capabilities. I cut the fabric into 12.5" squares and ironed on all 50 different flowers for her to embroider. I'll trim them down later when they are all done, but I cut them bigger so if it frayed a bit, it wouldn't matter.

The first stage will take a while, but she's really excited to get to work!

Eventually, I'll get them all back and make a quilt top with some pieced blocks between the embroidered ones. When she finishes a block, I'll post it in my instagram feed with #motherdaughterquiltproject so you can see the fun.

A cute little hedgehog

2014-08-20T07:00:00.000-05:00

Tomorrow the MN state fair opens. Both my kiddos (and I) entered items in the fair. The kids entered in the Education building so they are judged by grade level which is great because kids as young as Gwyn (who have just finished kindergarten) can enter.

She entered her embroidered hedgehog. She was so proud of it and I think for 6 yrs old, she did an amazing job. It's her first attempt at embroidery. She's done some hand stitching before, but just stitching a pillow closed and sewing on buttons.

The kit for the cute hedgehog is from Penguin and Fish.

She is so excited to find out if she won anything. Although I think I'm way more excited for her (and Connor). I'll keep you posted.

Easy-Peasy Placemats Pattern

2014-08-18T19:48:00.000-05:00

I'm happy to announce the release of another pattern: Easy-Peasy Placemats, available on my Craftsy and Etsy shops.

As the name implies, they are easy to make. They are great for beginners who are just starting quilting (who have had some experience), but they also make a smart economical gift. Not only are they fabulous to look at, but they require very little fabric and have almost no waste.

To make the placemats, you only need four 1/2 yard cuts of fabric and one craft size package of batting (or a piece approximately 34" x 45"). You can substitute eight fat quarters for the 1/2 yard cuts OR use a partial jelly roll and a yard of fabric to make them.

They are so much fun to make and so useful!

In addition to the placemats, instructions are included to make a set of four 6" square coasters. The fabric requirements listed includes fabric for the coasters as well.

They will make a perfect, inexpensive gift for the holidays! You can pair them with some home-made matching double-sided napkins using my free tutorial found here.

Visit my Craftsy and Etsy shops to purchase your copy of the Easy-Peasy Placemats today! Happy Sewing!

Popover dresses

2014-08-16T08:00:00.000-05:00

I've been trying to use up fabric lately. I had lots of this vintage rose fabric that my mom gave me. It's super soft and great for a little dress. I made one before for Gwyneth which she has grown out of (you can see that here). This time I used up almost all of the fabric left, well, almost.

This cute little popover sundress is a free pattern from Oliver + S. It's super simple.

As soon as Gwyneth saw the finished dress, she recognized it as a style I'd made a doll dress with once before (Gwyn's dress and her doll dress). She has a great memory.

She asked if I'd make a doll version and I did. I was happy to use up more fabric.

Lastly I made a hair bow tie (again, free pattern from Oliver + S).

Time to go play! See ya later!

A little charity sewing

2014-08-15T13:19:00.002-05:00

The Minneapolis Modern Quilt Guild (MMQG) frequently does charity sewing projects and I was able to help out with the last one and make these pretty flying geese blocks. They will be combined with many other flying geese blocks made by other MMQG members to make one large quilt for charity.

The blocks were made from pieces of clothing. Some of the clothing had embroidered details on them -- I received one of those pieces and incorporated it into my blocks. The seams that went through the embroidery were a little bulky, but it worked.

I can't wait to see what the finished quilt looks like. Watch the MMQG blog to find out.

Some late night sewing fun

2014-08-04T12:30:00.000-05:00

I've been home with the kids all summer. Trying to find that balance where I get things done and make sure they don't sneak off and watch TV or play video games all day can be difficult. But of course, that's also one of the perks of being at home -- it's to be here for them 24/7.

Well, staying up super late tends to help. Last night I was up late working on a few projects. I managed to cross a few things off my list.

My 9-yr old just started violin at camp and in a sea of instrament cases that all look the same, I made a small cover for the handle to make his stand out. I just used a bit of this cute robot fabric from Kokka.

It just Velcros on so it's easy to take off and clean if it needs it.

Along with that, I made a small coin pouch out of the same fabric.

He'll be at orchestra camp for three weeks for part of the day and of course he'll need money to buy snacks. So the little matching zippy pouch will hold money for his treats.

So I guess the secret to this balance of work/stay-at-home mom is to stay up really late and sew/work, but I haven't quite figured out when I'll sleep.

Super Sliver Pouches (and more news)

2014-07-29T11:58:00.004-05:00

I made these scrappy pouches months ago. They were part of a tutorial for the May/June 2014 Issue of Pretty Patches. Then I gave them away and completely forgot about them. :)

They are so fun and they use the tiniest scraps so you don't waste anything! (I blame my good friend Amanda Jean for that -- not blame in a bad way. ;) I totally look at scraps in a different light now and I really have fun with them and don't just collect them.) Anyway, when Pretty Patches asked me to design a scrap project, I jumped in not sure what I'd do. It was so much fun! This was of course several months ago and I quickly forgot about the project after it was all done.

Earlier this month I did another new tutorial for Pretty Patches for Halloween - which isn't out yet, so I can't show you it, but it reminded me of the previous work. So, if you happen to have the current and last few issues of Pretty Patches - go check them out.

The March/April issue has my nine patch/disappearing nine patch tutorial and the July/August issue has one of my favorite projects - my table setting placemat (still a huge favorite in my house).

The May/June issue has my new tutorial for Super Sliver Pouches. So much fun!

Each issue also had a little feature about one of my patterns. (It's so flattering to read.)

Well ... now back to brainstorming a Christmas idea for that issue. Christmas in July! ... at least in this house.

A funny little story

2014-07-22T18:45:00.000-05:00

I started making this little dress for Gwyneth a few days before July 4th so she could wear it on that day. We were having some family over on the 4th for a little gathering and then going to watch fireworks later, so I drafted it out and got to work.

I didn't have a lot of fabric to work with - two 1/2 yd cuts and one 1/4 yd cut. So I made it work. The fabric I used was Beechwood Park by Jenean Morrison for FreeSpirit.

I loved the buttons made of recycled plastic. (I lucked out and they were in my stash! Yay! Using up my sewing stash!)

Since I didn't have a lot of fabric, I couldn't be really fussy about how the back lined up -- the print on the bolt was a little off, so, don't look too closely.

I was lucky enough to have enough of the blue print to fussy cut (a little bit). for the bodice. (I couldn't get enough for the lining when I did that, but I used a pretty Kona blue to match).

Anyway, back to my story ....

The dress was almost done - just needed the buttons and the bottom hemmed but then Gwyn made it very clear that she wanted to dress as Elsa (from Frozen) on the 4th. Ugh. OK. So the dress sat waiting to be finished for a few days.

I finally finished it and suddenly she was so EXCITED to wear it! Once I finally got her in it, she wouldn't take it off for almost three days. Yup. She played in it, she slept in it, she even went fishing in it (finally got it off after that).

Kids are so funny sometimes. But I suppose she probably thought it was funny of me to want her to wear it on a certain day too. I'm just glad she really likes it (now).

First Aid Zip Pouch

2014-06-27T11:10:00.000-05:00

Summer is here and we are going to the park a lot. Now that the snow is gone and the weather is nice, skinned knees are bound to happen. This handy little First Aid Zip Pouch holds everything we need and goes with us everywhere.

It is a great little project to use up some of your pretty red and white scraps OR you can just make it with any colors you like and have a nine patch on top instead.

It is the perfect size. It fits two Epi-Pens (for those of you who have to carry them), large knee/elbow size band-aids (so necessary with kiddos), cleaning wipes and of course, an After Bite stick for those pesky mosquito bites and lots more.

Here's what you'll need:

5 - 2" x 2" squares of red/white fabric
4 - 2" x 2" squares of neutral fabric
6" zipper
2 - 1.5" x 5" background pieces
2 - 2.5" x 7" background pieces
1 - 7" x 9" piece of fabric for backing
2 - 7" x 9" pieces of fabric for lining
2 - 7" x 9" pieces of medium interfacing (I used Pellon's 931T Fusible Midweight)
2 - 7" x 8.5" pieces of fusible fleece or batting (I used Pellon's 987F Fusible Fleece)

All seams are 1/4".

Lay out your 2" squares how you want them to look.

Sew them together in rows.

Then sew the rows together. Your 9-patch should be 5" square.

Sew on your 1.5" x 5" pieces on each side. Your block should be 5" x 7" now.

Then sew on the 2.5" x 7" pieces on the top and bottom. Your block should now be 7" x 9".

Fuse the mid-weight interfacing on the wrong side of the pouch top and back pieces. Next fuse the fleece on to the interfacing. The fleece is 1/2" shorter than the pouch. Make sure the 1/2" gap (where there is no fleece) is at the top of the pouch. (It's easier to add a zipper without the bulky fleece there.)

Place your pouch top piece right side up. Lay the zipper right side down at the top edge of the pouch. Next lay one of the lining pieces on top, making sure the right side of the lining is touching the right side of the pouch. (In the photos, the lining piece is the same color on both sides.)

Using a zipper foot, sew along that edge to secure the zipper and lining.

Turn the lining and front out and press the seam flat. (Don't iron your zipper.)

Top stitch along the edge of the zipper about 1/8" from the edge.

Now do the same for the other side, using the backing and other piece of lining.

Now it should look like this:

Pull up the top piece and backing, right sides together and pin. Pull the two lining pieces together as well, right sides together.

Make sure the zipper is pushed toward the lining.

Sew around the edge, leaving the bottom of the lining open for turning. Trim the excess at the corners (for turning) and any excess fabric at the sides if needed.

Turn the bag right side out. Use a chopstick or knitting needle to push the corners out. Leave the lining out so you can stitch up the opening. You can do this by hand or machine. (Machine stitches will show, but it doesn't matter too much since it's in the bottom of your bag.)

Push the lining into the bag and then pack all your first aid items and you're done! Hopefully you won't need the supplies inside, but if you do, you're ready!

Finished size is 6.5" w x 8.25" h.

Reflektion Quilt Pattern

2014-06-20T21:02:00.001-05:00

My newest quilt pattern, Reflektion, is here!

Reflektion, which is Swedish for reflection, is a modern quilt with a very simple design.

The quilt uses pre-cut mini charm packs, charm packs or layer cakes for the main fabric which makes it a very fast quilt to make and an easy pattern for beginners.

Finish it with simple or elaborate quilting to give it a personal touch. The brown version features very simple quilting lines 1" apart and the gray has a mix of modern straight line quilting and free motion quilting to give it added depth and intrest. Both are quilted with aurifil thread.

Instructions include six sizes of quilts:
Mini (18" x 21"), Baby (36" x 42"), Toddler (48" x 56"),
Throw (60" x 70"), Twin (78" x 91") and Queen (90" x 105").

The Reflektion quilts pictured are made using Kona Pastels charm pack and Kona Ash for background and Kona Brights Charm Pack and Kona Chocolate. Both are toddler size quilts.

The 20 page PDF comes with complete instructions, beautiful computer generated diagrams and color photos. The PDF pattern pages print out directly from your computer onto standard 8.5" x 11" paper.

The pattern is available through my Craftsy and Etsy shops for immediate download.

Happy Sewing!

*******************

I thought I'd throw in a picture of the back, just for fun. It features leftover fabric from the Sally dress (Juiliana Horner's Posy Sweet), Heather Ross' Far Far Away Princess and the Pea and Snails (both in cotton gauze from the original printing), and a pretty blue solid that I have had forEVER, so I have no idea what it is!

Sally Dress

2014-06-17T10:33:00.002-05:00

We have had a lot of rain here. In between the downpours, the sun peaks out. I managed to snag a few photos of Gwyneth wearing her new Sally Dress.

The pattern is by VeryShannon. I used Juliana Horner's Posy Sweet fabric that I picked up at Jo-Ann's for this sweet dress.

She insisted on wearing her hat for these photos. She looks like a modern Holly Hobbie.

We love the deep pockets! Perfect for all the treasures she finds playing outside this summer.

The pattern was very easy to sew. I like the detail on the neckline and those pockets! (Did I mention that? *wink*)

Well, time to run off and play!

Baby Infatuation Quilt

2014-05-06T16:52:00.000-05:00

After I designed the Infatuation quilt pattern but before I made the large quilt and I broke into the Dowry fat quarter bundle, I decided to test the block to see if I liked it once made or to see if I wanted to make any changes to the design.

This is what I made.

The block was made with fat quarters of some Riley Blake and RJR fabrics. The gray (I believe) is Kona coal. I liked the block when I was done so I continued on with the queen size quilt made from Dowry. You can see that finished quilt here.

For this block I added a 6" border around of the same color Kona. It was a different dye lot though, so the shade is slightly different. This creates a very subtle effect of framing the block. I love it!

The quilting is simple straight lines 1/2" apart.

The final quilt finishes 36.25" x 36.25".

On the back, a single piece of Kona Peridot. Love that color!

The binding is the numbers print from Ikea. (You know the one!). I love how it looks, especially on the back.

This quilt is for sale in my Etsy shop. You can find the listing here.

Tartan Dress shirt

2014-04-25T07:48:00.002-05:00

For Easter, I made Connor a short-sleeved dress shirt. He really liked it. The weather finally is warming up so we could take some nice pictures outside! (Yay!) And all the snow is gone (again)! Yay!

For this shirt I used Simplicity Pattern 4760. I had to do a bit of fudge work to make this fit. It was a little snug around the waist initially, but it worked out OK. I made the boys' large size in the pattern.

The fabric is Tartan Aquamarine - Notting Hill by Joel Dewberry for Free Spirit. I love this print. I've used some before for pants for him last year (which no longer fit) and a fun hat. I didn't have a lot of yardage left to be picky about how the lines would match up, but I did my best with what I had and that's OK.

For the first time, I actually machine stitched the buttons on. Normally I enjoy the hand sewing finishing touches, but this year I had no time. And I have to say, I really loved using my sewing machine to sew on the buttons. It was really fast (obviously) and the stitching is so uniform. I may just have to stitch buttons using my machine from now on.

The interfacing I used was Pellon's 420 Fashion Fuse on the collar and the front facings (where the buttons and button holes are). It is the best interfacing for apparel - and I highly recommend it. The interfacing helped the collar maintain it's shape (without being uncomfortably stiff) and it made sewing in the button holes and buttons on way easier.

Gwyneth didn't get a hand made dress this year. Instead she got to wear my dress from when I was little. Yes, I once wore this dress. I remember it being one of my favorites because of how silky it felt and I loved the pleated skirt. And it's so fitting with Radiant Orchid being the color of the year.

It was hard to get the kiddos together for a good picture. They were so exicted that the sun was shining and it was warm outside (oh, and probably because they got chocolate and peeps that day too!). But I did manage to get this shot of Gwyn trying to steal a kiss on her brothers' cheek. And of course being a little gentleman, he let her steal that kiss.

Happy Spring!

Infatuation Quilt Pattern

2014-03-28T12:28:00.000-05:00

I am so excited to finally release my next quilt pattern!

Infatuation

I had so much fun designing and making this quilt. I was inspired by the beautiful fabric line Dowry by Anna Maria Horner. The quilt shown is the queen size and uses that beautiful fabric. The background fabric used was Essex (a linen/cotton blend) in natural from Robert Kaufman.

The pattern is suited for an intermediate quilter or adventurous advanced beginner and includes two sizes: throw (60" x 60") and queen (90" x 90"). Additional information is included for determining the requirements to make baby, twin or king sizes. Each large 30" x 30" block require 3 fat quarters (and background fabric) and are composed of straight pieces and curved pieces. The large size of the block, the extra fabric allowed and detailed instructions make piecing the curve simple and easy.

The pattern is a PDF which you can purchase from my Etsy and Craftsy shops.

I am infatuated with this quilt and I can't wait to see what you make with it!!

Modern Gemetric Scrappy Pillow

2014-03-17T15:34:00.000-05:00

Feeling a bit green today, since it's St. Patrick's Day. For this modern geometric pillow, I used scraps from Connor's quilt (which you can see here). The scraps are Kona Grass Green and Charcoal.

I really had fun with arranging this one.

The quilting was a lot of fun too. I did a simple flap closure on the back. Easy and fast!

It was a fun use of scraps! I love it!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
