Happy Friday!

Hi there!

If you are new here and just visiting from the Time In A Bottle Blog Hop~

Welcome!! I hope you have a little time to look around, and come back! :-)

First, thank you Carol @JustLetMeQuilt  for organizing this hop. Have you seen all the gorgeous projects?!  Choosing a favorite would certainly be hard! I want to make them all!!

For my project I jumped ahead a few months.

I had embroidered this design intending to make a wall hanging, but wall space is limited at my house, and I couldn't decide what would have to come down, so I made it into a table topper.  I will have it either in the center of our kitchen table, or maybe on the island, during July and will totally enjoy seeing it every day. :-)

The machine embroidery design is from Designs By Juju

There is no pattern as I just flew by the seat of my pants. :-) 

Be sure to visit the rest of the bloggers today for the last day of the hop

and thank you for stopping by!!!

I am also linking to Crafter's Edge because I used my Crafter's Edge Crossover 11 to cut my HSTs & QSTs for this project.  I love the speed and accuracy of cutting with dies! :-)

Until next time~

One More!

That is right, one more pattern release happened this week

 and I was lucky enough to be a tester. :-) 

Stephanie from Paper Moonlight Crafts released

 her newest pattern called 'Nesting Baskets'

This is my tester version~

Sorry for the lighting, I finished it at retreat and the lighting at the design wall was a bit shadowed.

The pattern comes in both a lap and bed size. 

I made the lap, and if you click on the photo it will (should) open in another window for you to see better.  I had that cute animal print and fussy cut the centers. I love how this one turned out. 

It was a quick sew, and a whole lot easier than you would think! :-)

If you have an Instagram account and check @paper_moonlight_crafts, you will see all the test versions. ;)

Until next time~

Happy stitchin'!!
 

Another Reveal~

Didn't I say I had a lot of irons in the fire and much would be revealed soon? 

Monday was pattern release day for Jenna of Jenna Luedecke Design 

and I was lucky enough to test her newest pattern called

Shimmer & Shine Quilt Pattern. It comes in multiple sizes and I tested the pillow size~

 I wanted bed pillows~ aren't they just dreamy? :-)

And just wait until you see some of the tester quilts!

The secondary design is so fun!

And you cannot mess up because it is paper pieced! All those points are easy peasy.

I really enjoyed making these~ it was very relaxing sewing.

 

You will be able to find the pattern in Jenna's Etsy shop .

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!

Sewing Fun!

 Hi everyone!

I love Valentine's Day and just had to have a bit of fun!

 I machine embroidered this design from Designs By JuJu. It is called Vintage Sketch Mason Jars.

Next, I cut the HST's using my Crafter's Edge Crossover 11 machine and the Half Square Triangle Dies. 

There are 6 different sizes of dies in the set, so I just cut my embroidered design to fit a die size~ and set to work. If you press your fabrics right sides together before you cut, you are all set to sew as soon as the pieces come through the machine. ;-)

I added a pocket at the bottom for Valentine's because I am in a postcard Valentine swap. ;-) 

A little machine quilting and binding and I have a new wall hanging. Yay!

Do you make special things for holiday decorating?

Until next time~

Happy stitchin'!
