From Our House Sew Along

December 13, 2024 by 3 Comments

Riley Blake Designs is hosting such a fun Sew Along to showcase the new Hush Hush 4 collection!

My contribution to Hush Hush 4 is this fun and versatile star print.

The From Our House Quilt is created from 18″ Log Cabin Quilt blocks, each with a unique 6″ block in the center.

You can click HERE to find the complete schedule and pattern!

I am offering an alternate 6″ block so you have even more to choose from. I made a simple Bow Tie Block that measures 6″.

You can download the instructions for the block by clicking Here.

I hope you love the new Hush Hush 4 collection – it’s my favorite one yet!

Plant Life Quilt Pattern

September 9, 2022 by 6 Comments

The Plant Life quilt is finished!! I am loving it so much. I designed this quilt about a year and a half ago when I was submitting the proposal for my Leafy Keen fabric collection with Riley Blake Designs. For 18 months this quilt has been at the back of my mind and now finally its real!

Each plant has a name and each plant is made up of the same size half square triangles.

It may seem like a lot of triangles but they go fast and before you know it you are assembling plant blocks!

You can purchase the pattern in my Etsy shop by clicking HERE.

I used fabrics from Leafy Keen, my newest fabric collection by Riley Blake Designs. The collection is hitting stores October 2022!

4-Patch Charm Quilt

July 16, 2022 by 4 Comments

I love buying precuts – especially 5″ squares. I love all the different patterns using precut – but sometimes I just want something easy where I can just sew the squares together.

The precut squares I used are from the Carnaby Collection by Liberty Fabrics for Riley Blake Designs. You can use any collection or even scraps!

This pattern lets you sew the 5″ squares together without having to trim or square up. You can make it totally scrappy and random. The sashing adds interest and spacing to accent the fabrics you’ve chosen!

The finished quilt is 73″ x 86″ which makes it the perfect size for a throw quilt. I like to use simpler quilts for “cuddling” – watching movies or taking to sports or the beach.

Here’s the fabric requirements:

120 squares 5” x 5” in a variety of colors  or 15 strips 5” x WOF cut into 120 5″ squares

¼ yard dark blue fabric for Plus Blocks

½ yard red fabric for sashing

2 ½ yards white fabric

1 ¼ yard floral border fabric

¾ yard binding fabric

6 yards quilt backing

The pattern is available in my Etsy shop as a PDF.

I hope you love it!!

Scrappy Charm Christmas Version

December 13, 2021 by 3 Comments

I try and make at least one new Christmas quilt every year. One of my favorite things about decorating is getting out all the Christmas quilts I’ve made over the years!

I used my Scrappy Charm quilt pattern and used all my Christmas fabric scraps and made this fun throw quilt! So essentially you can make this with what’s in your stash! The scrappier the happier!!!

The quilt measures 64″ square but you could easily add more rows to make it larger. I put plaid flannel on the back so it’s super cozy!

You can find the pattern in PDF of Paper in my Etsy shop!

Mod Christmas Quilt

July 13, 2021 by 7 Comments

I’m super excited about this quilt! I love that my Mod Meow fabric collection by Riley Blake Designs totally works for Christmas! I love using pink and aqua in my retro Christmas decorating.

These mischievous retro felines totally belong in this Christmas quilt – they are batting the ornaments, climbing the tree, and wrestling in the presents! Cats and Christmas – it’s the best!

The quilt measures 70″ x 70″ and it has 9 blocks that finish at 16″ x 16″. You can purchase the PDF pattern in my Etsy shop, click HERE.

You will need to purchase the Mod Meow Cat Panel to complete this quilt. The cats are appliquéd onto the quilt and machine stitched.

The panels will be hitting shops the first week of August – so you can totally get started on the quilt and then the cats will be available!

July is the purrrrfect time to get a jump on your holiday sewing!!!
