k featuring all strips which was inspired by this pin from her board i focused on the highlighter color for that block from the scraps that were included i made two strips of paper pieced flying geese this was an easy way to use up lots of weirdly shaped scraps i also pieced together some of the blocks that had been made so far into bigger chunks the last quilt i worked on was nicke s the theme of her quilt was walking through a winter storm at night her palette was strictly whites creams and black with bits of gold for piecing she is drawn to simple patchwork triangles and improv you can see the pinterest board for her quilt here for my block i decided to use equilateral triangles i made a small block since most of the blocks that had been made already are pretty big i used primarily light fabrics and pieced strips of the black fabrics for the dark triangles and that s it i ve now worked on everyone s quilt in the group and i have my quilt blocks back i m looking forward to tackling my quilt this spring i know i want to make some more blocks but haven t formulated a plan quite yet definitely putting it on my short list happy quilting posted by jeni baker 8 comments email

some testing for aneela hoey s new pattern the zip up tray pouch i wanted to share my pouch here and talk a bit about it today i recently picked up this really cute pencil fabric from noteworthy by erin mcmorris which i used as the starting point for my pouch i pulled blenders from my stash to match for the interior sides and binding interior binding fabric is from cultivate by bonnie christine side panel fabric is from essentials ii by pat bravo this was my first time using a separating zipper which is a must for this project this allows the pouch to easily convert into a tray i bought my 10 separating zippers from zipit the construction of this pouch is fun and interesting and isn t too complicated i love how it snaps back and forth between pouch and tray i took a quick video to show how it opens and closes i ve already used this pouch to corral hand stitching tools on the couch this project does require some hand sewing to finish but the whole thing came together easily in an afternoon find the zip up tray pouch pattern by aneela hoey here zip up tray pouch pattern happy sewing note any links marked with an asterisk in this post are affiliate links this means if you click

drachenfels shawl wednesday march 22 2017 happy wednesday today i am sharing my most recent finished knit last spring jacey and i decided to knit the drachenfels shawl by melanie berg together predictably i decided to knit mine in shades of purple and jacey in shades of green see her shawl here i finally finished my shawl this past month i love knitting garter stripes and this was my first time knitting a triangular shawl that wasn t top down garter is just so squishy i don t think i ll ever get tired of it the dark purple yarn is madelinetosh tosh sock in flashdance and it was my very first sock yarn purchase i bought it here in madison in march 2012 it felt so good to use it up i also used my first skein of moonrover wyld in foxglove the light purple the third color is a soft neutral tanis fiber arts blue label in sand all three skeins had been in my stash for at least 2 years so hooray for stash diving we got a fresh layer of snow earlier this month which was the perfect opportunity to get a few photos it s that time of year when everything is so brown and gray not great for project photos i deviated a bit from the pattern in section 3 and i didn t always use the stated color i m happy with how it turned out it s a massive 32 deep x 82 wide i love big shawls more details on my shawl on ravelry now that this shawl is off the needles i can start a new one happy

thursday today i want to share two new pincushions i made recently my friend amanda jean embarked on a pincushion challenge this past summer making at least one each day for a month she had so many fun designs she compiled two patterns each with five pincushion designs plenty of pincushions volume 1 plenty of pincushions volume 2 when i sat down to make a few from my scraps i chose a pincushion from each volume i ve loved and collected pincushions for many years they re one of my favorite things to make and they re fun to receive as gifts too there are just so many things to love about them pincushions are a great way to use up scraps try a new block or use up leftover blocks units from other projects since they are small they aren t usually a huge time commitment which is nice when you re in the mood for an instant gratification project plus they re cute this is part of my pincushion collection i probably have enough that aren t in this photo to fill another shelf my dad helped me make this one a few years ago it s right above my machine so i look at it a lot and it makes me happy now back to those two new pincushions looking for pincushion tutorials i have a few in the archives hexagon ring pincushion tutorial triangular log cabin pincushion tutorial and half square triangle pincushion tutorial from plenty of pincushions volume 1 i decided to make the pineapple pincushion i love pineapple blocks and this tiny version is just too cute bonus it s paper pieced i started with the little frog center piece and went with a purple theme shocking i know this one is definitely my favorite of the two because these are my very favorite shades of purple and consequently some favorite fabrics too from plenty of pincushions volume 2 i decided to make the log cabin pincushion i m on a bit of a log cabin kick lately and i had lots of strip scraps so it seemed like a good fit this block is also paper pieced which is nice and easy for working with those little pieces these scraps came from my last two monochromatic quilts all blue woven quilt heart crossed quilt there is also a little pop of citron green on the back both pincushions have quilting on the front and are filled with crushed walnuts shells posted by jeni baker 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels quilting sewing nani iro brushed cotton expanse quilt tuesday march 14 2017 happy tuesday i m excited to share a finished quilt today this one has been in use all winter and i finally finished getting photos of it during a recent snowfall yesterday in the fall of 2015 i picked up two nani iro by naomi ito bundles from quilt market one was a bundle of double gauze prints the other was a bundle of brushed cotton flannel i split both bundles with jacey i used most of the double gauze bundle for my nani iro dreams quilt but a few made it into this quilt too shortly after finishing my double gauze quilt i cut into the brushed cotton i used the same techniques for treating and sewing with brushed cotton as i do with double gauze for more info on sewing with double gauze and where to buy nani iro see this post i didn t want to cut up the beautiful prints too much so i decided to make the a super sized half square triangle quilt using my expanse quilt pattern not only does it come together fast it is great for showcasing favorite prints i was able to stitch up the quilt top at summer sewing retreat and snatched a few photos of it i love that i got one with the sheep in it just like my all double gauze quilt i wanted this quilt to be super cozy and snuggly i used some of the darker double gauze prints in addition to the brushed cotton to stretch an extra row of triangles in i like big quilts they mixed together really nicely i wasn t prepared to wrestle this quilt on my machine so i sent it off to melissa of sew shabby quilting i chose this fun popcorn quilting pattern for it to up the cozy factor this quilt has brushed cotton on the back too the batting is quilter s dream wool so it s nice and fluffy it s bound up in a light gray voile i ve been test driving it for the last few months and it s been a great couch quilt warm but not overly so ultimate snuggle quilt this was another just because quilt i have been trying to use precious fabrics instead of hoarding them it has been a real indulgence and i m hoping to make it a habit it gets easier with each cut happy quilting posted by jeni baker 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels expanse quilt
