Quilty Weekend Inspiration [Issue 4]
|
Hello Reader,, I'm glad you're loving this weekly inspiration! I'm back with two sections this week, Quilty Finds - my favorite things around the sewing web, and Loving Lately - non-sewing things I am enjoying! Let's talk 1/4" feet. I disovered Little Foot – The Original 1/4″ presser foot at my LQS a couple years ago. It turns out the quilt shop owner's mom invented it! My piecing is forever changed. The physical shop is no longer open, but you can still grab a Little Foot from the website here - I have 3, one for each machine in case we're all quilting at the same time! Have you ever made Half Rectangle Triangles? They're a little trickier than it seems, but my friend Tamara at Remi Vail Studio has made it so easy with her latest post! Learn her method here.​ You may know that I use Pellon Fusible Thermolam for just about everything...I buy it by the bolt! But Julie from Sublime Stitchery has a great post that breaks down the differences in fusible fleece types and also has a guide for fleece available worldwide. Read all about it here.​ Speaking of fusible fleece, I have my favorite bag making supplies in my Amazon shop, so if you're wondering where to buy them now that Joann is closed, you can find them here. I usually use the same couple products so that I can buy the whole bolt. We recently rediscovered our love of Gorgonzola cheese, so we've been making this pasta a couple times a month. We add a little chicken and it's the perfect summer dinner! The summer isn't quite over, so if you're looking for another pair of sunglasses to get you through the fall, my favorites are Goodr. I have two pair of these, and we love buying them for the whole family because they're affordable and everyone can wear the same fame style. I have a tiny closet in my front entry way and I finally found a shoe solution for it, this adjustable one works perfectly! --- Do you have a favorite item I should try out? I always love your recommendations? How about a sewing or quilting notion you've been wanting to try? Send it my way and I'll look into it, I've found some of my favorites this way!

Hello Reader, Stopping by your inbox today to share a little holiday sewing inspiration, as this is one of my favorite seasons to sew!

Here are some of my favorite holiday and giftable tutorials and patterns: Here's a blog post of my five favorite things to make and gift! I've loved making Christmas tutorials, so...
Hello Reader, Over the summer, my kids made quilts and they got them back from the quilter a couple of weeks ago. Now that it's turned cooler, we're getting them bound so they can use them on their beds in the winter! Now that it's turned cooler, we're getting them bound so they can use them on their beds in the winter! All my quilty finds are related to quilt binding this week. I have tried ALL the thimble options out there, and once I found the Roxette Thimble, there was no looking back. It...
Hello Reader, Fall is settling in, but the sunny Olivia Jewelry Case I sewed for the ByAnnie's #SewPink is giving me flashbacks to summer feels! If you've been on the fence about joining us, there's still time, I'd love to get to know you, sign up here! I've been designing new FPP patterns for the C&V Sewing Club and had to share what a difference using newsprint for FPP makes! I cannot believe I wasn't using this for years. I shared my favorite product in my Instagram stories last week and...
