Magic numbers patterns #3 Quick and easy Christmas Improv blocks for project Linus quilt

If you need a quick quilt, you need big blocks. But it doesn’t mean it has to be boring or that you will need to worry about if seams will line up. Improv is an answer. Easy, quick, fun Christmas project for a quilt to be donated to Linus group. Great for any size fabrics as you can mix and match size of the blocks using magic number method. Still need to decide on final layout but already thinking of making another one using some other themed fabrics. Happy sewing!

Quilting projects #24 How to make custom quilted cower and painting with embroidery thread

After I made first quilted scrappy cover, I couldn’t stop myself. They are quite addictive but also it is such a wonderful idea for a gift for any occasion. Weather you use it for a notebook or a book, it will look magical on the shelf or your bag. Instant decoration and it doesn’t matter what is inside. I also used on some embroidery thread to add extra design and these are my favourites… I used various types of fabrics scraps, mix of new and upcycled from clothes, bedding etc. It all nicely blends together in this project. Happy sewing!

Scrap buster #57 Mushroom bonanza with crumbs and strings

If I make a template, I like to use at least few times. That is what inspired this block. While I was working on previous project I though at certain stage it really looks like a mushroom so why not to make few more and call it Mushroom Bonanza? There is a bonus of extra block which comes from snowballing the tops of mushroom so I have 2 designs in one. I haven’t put this one together yet as I want to add some other autumn motives to the mix.

I have used various fabrics (new, recycled, shirts) as well as crumbs. And string blocks made from the same fabric, these really fitted here. I love extra seams; they always add to the texture of the design.
