Midweek Makers #381

 Welcome to Midweek Makers!

I've got a project in the works - a scrappy red, white, and blue number.

The blue blocks on the left were created in January for RSC2023. When I stitched them up, I knew I was going to make a blue themed quilt with them, not the usual RSC rainbow. They sat around until the idea of pairing them with red and white hit me - duh - which is my favorite color combo! In future posts, I'll explain how this quilt really is a scrappy creation.

Until then, take a look at these pretties:

Grace and Peace Quilting showed off her 1000 quilt that she quilted - awesome!

Bell Creek Quilts shared her jelly roll blocks sashed with red,

and Den syende himmel showed off her finished Chilhowie mystery quilt, one that I've been following because of the pretty colors.

Strawberry Love Runner

Here's to all the strawberries lovers out there - a new strawberry themed table runner, aptly named Strawberry Love.

 

I had so much fun making these strawberries because not only are they so easy to piece, but they made me smile after each one. Yes, it's just as good as snacking on the sweet red berries themselves AND as addictive!

 

Using different small print red fabrics for the berries adds fun variety, while the white pinwheel flowers add a nice spark. Pairing all that red, green, and white with the aqua background makes Strawberry Love a very cheerful addition to my table!

As for the quilting, I kept it simple as I wanted the strawberries and flowers to be the main focus. The background consists of stippling, the flowers are stitched-in-the-ditch, and the strawberries have a crosshatch design which follows the piecing points.

The Strawberry Love runner measures at approximately 14" x 44", a perfect table size. If you, too, have the same passion for strawberries and want some springtime fruit on your table, then Strawberry Love is for you! 

This easy, beginner friendly pattern is available now in my Etsy Shop - use coupon code 'BERRYLOVE' for 20% off now through April 30, 2023 - enjoy!

Happy Quilting!

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

See all those blossoms above? All the plants are waking up and growing, needing trimming. Which means I've spent more time outside tending to my garden than inside sewing. With nothing to share, let's move on to these rainbows of color seen last week.

From Eagles' Wings Quilts, this beauty,

Not Afraid of Color shared another creative quilt - so cute!

And this pretty rainbow runner from Sew Yummy.

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Two weeks ago, you may remember the strawberry themed wall hanging and table runner that I was putting out decorate my house. Sadly, two runner spaces in my living room have flower runners because I only have the one that's strawberry themed. Very sad indeed!

Feeling the creativity return and wanting a second strawberry runner, I opened EQ8 and designed a simple strawberry block based on a favorite heart block. 

Next step was to do a test sew, double checking my construction ideas for the leaves and stem. And it turned out sweet!

So sweet that I made it in three sizes: 6", 9", and 12", and now the Strawberry block pattern is available in my Etsy shop! Soon, I can share my new strawberry themed table runner after the finishing touches are done. Stay tuned!

This week I'm featuring the color pink with these shared projects. From Scrapbox Quilts, this pink confection,

a pretty wool runner in progress from Making a Lather,

and lastly, In Stitches with Bonnie shared a mystery quilt she's working on.

Neighbors for April Quilt Block Mania

New friends have moved in - welcome Neighbors!

Over the past year, we've been both the new neighbor moving in, and the established neighbor welcoming in others. It's been a joy meeting new friends in both ways! 

In case you haven't guessed already, Neighborhood is the Quilt Block Mania theme for April. There's a ton of neighbor-theme blocks to collect this month - just look at them all!

As you visit each site, please be kind and thank the designers - it's the neighborly thing to do.

I had a lot of fun designing the Neighbors block and just had to stitch it up! Isn't that fun? I'm sensing an entire quilt based on this one.

For my Neighbors block, I pulled out fabrics from the scrap bag, having a great time playing with door colors. I could definitely feel this block becoming addictive to make!

No matter if its scraps or fat quarters, a little bit of applique and simple piecing bring these Neighbors together for a finished 12" x 12" block.

Sorry, the Neighbors quilt block pattern is no longer free. Find it in my Etsy shop - thanks for stopping by!
