Finally a Finish!

Craftsy BOM 2012

Finally a finish…..well, I guess its really a flimsy finish or still a WIP since it’s not a quilt until its quilted!!!!

I am still gonna count it though:) I started this quilt in January with my guild and it has been so much fun. In the end I decided to omit four of the blocks…..hence the four solid color blocks in the corners:) A couple I never got to and a couple I just didn’t like the way they turned out(i.e. drunkard’s path blocks, dang curved seams!).

Craftsy BOM 2012

For my fabrics I used Carnaby Street by Pat Bravo for Art Gallery. I just love the bright colors in this line. I also omitted the sashing in this quilt….not sure if I was being lazy, but I really do like the way they all fit together without it.

Do you want to take this FREE class?

Well, you can! Just click on the link below and head over to Craftsy. It is free and has step by step videos for each block. This is a great quilt for beginners because you will learn so many different techniques and you can do it at your own pace.

Sassy Update

Here is what I have been up too!

My Craftsy 2012 BOM quilt is coming along nicely! Here are the August blocks…

Ohio Star

Double Star

I am using Carnaby Street by Pat Bravo for Art Gallery for my fabrics.

You can sign up for this free class HERE! Craftsy has lots of other FREE classes too, so check it out.

I’ve been working on a few Log Cabin blocks with my local Richmond Modern Quilt Guild. I LOVE these blocks!!! I was just kind of free- styling with these and did solids on one side and prints on the other. I am really liking how it turned out and it has me thinking about doing a Modern Log Cabin quilt!

I am using Twenty Three by Cosmo Cricket for Moda.

So what do you think….Modern Log Cabin Quilt Along???? I think Modern and Traditional options would be nice…Let me know if you are feeling it:)

Hexagons and a winner!

Hexi Stripe

Sunny with a chance of Hex

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I got to meet with my guild girls and work on some hexagons. For some it was there first time, so that was fun! I have to say my fingers haven’t done any hand stitching in a while and my thumb was sore!!! A thimble would probably help, but I find them too bulky. Just have to toughen up those quilting fingers:)

We did the two April blocks following along with the 2012 Craftsy BOM. You can find the FREE class HERE!

Lesson Learned….don’t use red paper for your templates! When I starched and pressed them there was just a slight bit of bleeding through the fabric.

and

HERE is an awesome site to print off as many FREE hexagons, triangles, graph paper, etc.! Super easy to use, just plug in any size you need and print it out.

Quilt Blocks- January

January, Block 1 – wonky pound

When it came time for come up with a project for my quilt guild for 2014 I decided we should all do the Craftsy 2012 BOM taught by Amy Gibson. Amy’s blog is Stitchery Dickory Dock and she hosts the famous Sugar Block Club. The Craftsy BOM class is free and has great videos and written instructions! This way each member can come to the meeting with their fabric cut and ready to sew. I downloaded this class actually in 2012!!!, but just never had the time to get started. I like the way Amy Gibson teaches it and the quilt itself has been a favorite of mine. The quilt blocks in this sampler are just so fresh and fun!

January, Block 2 – asterisk

Some months, like January have 2 quilt blocks, but only because they use similar techniques. I am using a bundle of Carnaby Street by Pat Bravo for my fabric selection for this quilt! Leah Day has a FMQ Craftsy class that I took where she teaches you how to quilt this sampler on your home machine…loved that class too!

My Quilts…

I updated the My Quilts tab this week….so if you haven’t checked it out before you can find it here!

So, if you are not a member(free) of the Craftsy website you should totally sign up and take advantage of all their free classes, you can buy fabric there too. For those of you who have taken classes there, I would love to hear which ones and how you rated them:)

Don’t forget the Kona Solids blog hop is still in progress, here is where you can go today! My stop will be on Mon. Jan 13th so be sure to come back and see:)
