emmmylizzzy thursday february 20 2014 catnap dress contest so apparently the only time i blog anymore is for cat related events see also gaudy kitty quilt and rainbow kitty party well i m back with another amazing kitty related sewing project hellooooo catnap dresses the lovely fabric designer lizzy house recently came out with an amazing fabric line called catnap prints devoted entirely to cats drawn up in her beautiful lizzy house style i love her decision to hold a dress contest to go along with this fabric line because exactly what this world needs is more cat dresses i teamed up with my dear friend jenna to hold a cat tea party to celebrate our lovely dresses you can read all about her grown up cat dress over here as you can tell from the death stare that my dear kitty odin is giving me he was super excited to be included in this tea party i had sewn up the edelweiss dress once before funnily enough the first one had kitties on it too and knew that it would be perfect to show off this great fabric now sit back and enjoy some photos and by far my favorite shot from the whole party just keepin it real folks posted by unknown at 2 00 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday november 25 2013 want to learn to sew i ve got you covered one of the questions that i get asked again and again and again from friends and blog readers alike is what is a good book for a beginning sewist well i have finally found my favorite the sweet katie lewis who blogs over at the red kitchen has just published a fantastic book for anyone just starting out on their sewing adventure christmas wish alert the beginning section covers all the basics you ll need to know from fabric and supplies to stitches and techniques i think i might even lend it to my husband for a bit because i don t know how many times i ve been sought out because he just doesn t know how to sew on a button yep covers that too katie takes you step by step through 30 projects that are just perfect for a beginner but are versatile enough for a more advanced sewist to have fun with and for me the thing that makes this book stand out above all the other learn to sew books is that each step and each direction for every project is accompanied by a photo she really ensures that anyone can become a confident sewist so many of these projects are super kid friendly and combined with the step by step photos this is really a great first sewing book for a child as well as an adult i know i m going to be handing it over to phoebe soon as she expresses more and more interest in using the machine herself okay so let s get to the projects i got straight to work on making a set of adorable bean bags i must of had a moment of crazy because all of a sudden i found myself cutting into my precious japanese fairytale prints that i have been hoarding for years but they turned out super cute and they are way more fun to play with and enjoy than just sitting on the shelf in my sewing room phoebe claimed them immediately and has been playing toss stacking them up and carrying them around ever since who wants an early christmas present katie is playing santa claus and giving away a copy to one lucky reader a rafflecopter giveaway and if you d like to buy a copy for every one of your friends katie s book can be found here amazon barnes noble books things thanks for the giveaway dear katie and congrats on the great book posted by unknown at 12 00 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels books sewing wednesday october 16 2013 gaudy kitty quilt oh gaudy kitty quilt i love you so so much i am 99 9 sure that this is my favorite quilt that i ve ever made beating this quilt by only 1 10 of a percentage background we moved phoebe into a twin size at the beginning of summer hence she needed a new big girl quilt for her big girl bed if you learned anything about phoebe from her rainbow kitty party you know that this girl has a bit of an obsession with kitty cats so i decided to take all of my kitty fabric including the super gaudy novelty prints that had been in my stash for forever and combine them all in a quilt that any 4 year old cat lovin girl would go nuts over in turn the gaudy kitty quilt was born it took me quite awhile to figure out what kind of layout would be best for this crazy quilt i didn t want to cut the fabric pieces too small since a lot of these novelty prints have a larger scale plus i got into quilting because of all the amazing textile design and i like to really showcase the prints in my quilts my good friend rossie is the one who recommended this layout of equilateral triangles with the prints laid out in rows i had just finished working on this poor quilt that was never blogged about which was also made up entirely of triangles and the last thing that i wanted to look at was more triangles but i knew that it would be the way to go this was my original fabric pull i have some other great cat prints in the stash but once i started putting the majority of the fabrics together the quilt s own color palette started developing so i decided to remove the blues and most of the other darker toned prints yes it was being made with novelty cat fabric but i wanted to at least try and make the final product pretty i didn t have enough kitty fabric to complete the entire top so i started mixing in other things phoebe likes butterflies bugs birds bunnies apparently anything that starts with b and some blender floral prints that i thought made the color scheme a bit more interesting i m proud of myself for even cutting into some of my preciously hoarded japanese fairytale prints after getting the top pieced i made the decision to send out the quilt top to a professional long armer to be quilted i ve always quilted my own quilts on my machine at home even some much larger than this but my friend brenda put the idea into my head to have a design of cats quilted all over the top which was pretty much the best idea i d ever heard in my life luckily i know kathy though our modern quilt guild who owns thread bear quilting not only is she an amazing quilter but she was able to quilt this design all over the gaudy kitty quilt i wish i would have remembered to get a detail picture of the quilting itself but take my word that it s amazing if you look closely in the third picture in this post you can make out the quilting the clearest and that brings us to the end of this quilty journey phoebe loves and i mean loves her quilt which makes this momma so darn happy but even if she didn t that would still be okay because then i d get to keep it for myself meow this quilt is part of the blogger s quilt festival click here to be
