luded in the book and this was one of the tops i have only one more top to finish up after this one so it feels good to cross this one off the list need a copy of my book buy a signed one here patchwork essentials the half square triangle this is the interlocked quilt found at the beginning of the book in the color chapter see the original quilt here for this variation i really kept it simple with three solids all in the teal turquoise family these are all pure element solids by art gallery fabrics so the quilt is nice and soft i was able to piece the backing and binding from the same fabrics and i really like how the backing turned out i normally don t do much piecing in my backings but i think this one is pretty cute you can see the quilting best from the back too for the quilting i decided on simple straight lines echoing some of the half square triangles on the front i didn t want to spend a lot of time on it it just needed to get done it s bound up in more of the medium solid a nice turquoise i just happened to have some left in my stash this quilt top was sewn up in 2014 whoa and i basted it in spring 2018 it was way overdue to be finished it feels so good to now have it photographed and blogged too happy quilting posted by jeni baker 12 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels finished quilt patchwork essentials quilting catching up tuesday march 24 2020 happy tuesday i wanted to do a little catch up post since i ve fallen behind in posting projects it s been such a strange time and i hope you all are staying healthy and safe we ve been isolating since around the 12th and are trying to figure out our new routines michael has been working from home since they closed the research labs on campus so i thought i would share what i ve been up to i hope to do more sewing in the next couple weeks but i haven t felt quite up to it lately i have been doing a lot of cleaning including a big clean up in the sewing room it had really become a dumping ground for stuff especially things headed for the walk up attic i knew i wouldn t feel like sewing until it was clean in here we ve been cooking and baking a lot my birthday was on friday and i made sticky pecan rolls from the zingerman s bakehouse cookbook instead of a cake they were super tasty and i was able to use pecans given to me by my friend jacey so that made them extra special it rained in the morning but the sun came out and it warmed up in the afternoon just enough so that we could grill which felt so indulgent i can t wait for it to be warm enough to be out in the yard i know that will really help our spirits stay up note any links marked with an asterisk in this post are affiliate links this means if you click through and buy something i make a small commission at no extra cost to you we re watching lots of happy tv i was very excited to see frozen 2 up on disney early it was really cute also re watching pushing daises and monk at the moment i started my first seeds last month but shortly after deciding to stay home i placed an order for a bunch of veggie seeds we have a two car wide driveway but only one car so we re planning to expand our planter boxes to fill up more of the driveway it gets plenty of sun and the black top helps keep everything nice and hot excited to get gardening more than usual if you re looking for a sewing project to work on i invite you to check out my tutorials page i update it every time i publish a new free tutorial in the 11 years since i started blogging i ve published over 100 tutorials from quilt patterns bags and home projects to informational series and recipes find that page here tutorials i m hoping to add more in the coming weeks please let me know if you have any specific

have another little pincushion tutorial to share similar to my personal challenge to make a scrap project each month i want to round out my pincushion stash so i dug into my scraps and pulled out pieces to make two pincushions for the first one i used a piece of lightweight japanese canvas for the center along with blenders by anna maria horner and joel dewberry for the second pincushion i used one of my favorite heather ross prints for the center and blenders by carolyn friedlander to match want to make your own follow along below have questions about making pincushions check out my all about pincushions post sewing level beginner friendly finished size 4 square materials 1 2 5 square of focal fabric 4 1 5 x2 5 rectangles of print fabric 4 1 5 squares of print fabric 1 4 5 square of backing fabric 1 4 5 square of lightweight interfacing 6 x6 batting scrap pincushion filling i used crushed walnut shells looking for supplies check out my pattern supplies and resources post instructions use a 1 4 seam allowance unless otherwise noted 1 arrange print rectangles around the focal square with the print squares in the corners 2 sew pieces together in each row press seams in the top and bottom row towards the center press the pieces in the middle row away from the center 3 sew rows together press seams open if you need more guidance on finishing up your pincushion check out my all about pincushions post 4 layer pincushion top with batting quilt lightly trim to 4 5 square 5 apply interfacing to backing fabric according to manufacturer s instructions 6 place pincushion top and backing right sides together clipping or pinning around all four edges sew around all four edges leaving about a 1 5 opening in the center of one side i find this makes turning easier than leaving the opening at one of the ends trim the seam allowance to 1 8 at the corners 7 press opening seam open to make closing the opening easier turn pincushion right sides out use a wooden chopstick or turning tool to help fill pincushion with desired filling using a hand sewing needle and matching thread stitch the opening closed these are very simple but are so fun for showcasing a cute little print they stitch up really fast and would make great swap items or as a gift for your sewing friends if you make a pincushion please tag me on instagram i m jenib320 and my hashtag is jenibaker happy

march it s time for february s monthly report see past reports here february was a bit of a strange month over here i came down with a cold around valentine s day that really wore me out the tail end of it turned into an ear infection which was not super fun so i didn t do much sewing this month i did bring my singer featherweight downstairs so i could sew in the sunny library while michael worked on his computer i think i may keep it downstairs it s nice to be able to sew on the main level sometimes i started a new workshop tote with linen and canvas scraps this was going to be my scrap project for february but i only got as far as trimming all the half square triangles it s at the top of my to do list for march i also pulled out my indigo stash and made four blocks for a new courthouse steps quilt i like how it s coming together so far to keep myself accountable for my stash goals i track my yardage for fabric and yarn each month read more about how i track here here is how i did in february february fabric used up 0 yards brought in 11 yards net 11 yards year to date 10 yards february yarn used up 0 yards brought in 0 yards net 0 yards year to date 0 yards yikes i did not finish any projects this month the only other month that i ve finished nothing since i started tracking was when we moved to ct two years ago i also had my first big fabric splurge in a long time i picked up some old favorites including a backing at first i felt guilty but i honestly feel okay about it i ve been so good about limiting purchases the last six months i was due a little fabric shopping plus it was on leap day so does it even really count this past weekend i traveled to houston to visit with my friends jacey and amanda it was so nice to spend time with them and jacey s husband too we usually only see each other once a year so this was a treat plus the weather was incredible we got up to all kinds of fun stuff including some t shirt dyeing i have been trying to achieve purple ice dye for a long time and i finally succeeded a non sewing project i worked on recently was a little phase two update to our little pantry it s at the top of the basement stairs so we need to make every nook and cranny work for us first i added a set of these shoe storage cabinets trones from ikea they re lightweight and nice for storing snacks noodles crackers etc i cut and finished a piece of plywood for the top to dress it up a little we now have a chalkboard hanging above it instead of the mini quilt i also made a peg shelf for this tall awkward spot at the top of the stairs it was totally unused space before and it s great for holding cleaning supplies i roughly followed this tutorial to make the shelf i customized the dimensions to fit my space and needs the
