#deardottiequilt Ready to sew your scraps? This project welcomes all colors, whether bright, dark or light. With a clever use of value, this quilt can make any scrap collection shine! It's the Dear Dottie Sew-Along, co-hosted by @themakingsofjoy and @stitchedincolor. Over 5 weeks of stitching, starting in November, we'll create the Dear Dottie quilt. It combines scrap sewing and curve piecing. New to curves? Never fear. If you have some patchwork experience under your belt, there’s no reason why curves shouldn’t be your next step! This pattern includes a trimming step so that you can rescue less-than-perfect blocks. Plus, I’ll be sharing a video of my curve piecing to help you visualize the process. Jump in to learn and win prizes from @fencelinefabrics along the way! You can sew-along, whatever your pace! #quiltersofinstagram #scraphappy #scrapquilts #sewyourscraps #sewyourscraps2019 #modernquilts #modernquilter #sewalong #quiltalong #patchwork
PERSIMMONS + PLUMS: a mosaic contest at Stitched in Color. Slow down a minute, my friend, and ponder with me in color. The warm colors of autumn are gathering in wagons and baskets and hearth. Nature’s bounty glows dusky red, rich purple and and every sticky sweet shade of orange. #colorcolor #quiltersofinstagram #ilovefabric #fabricbundles #fallcolors #autumncolors #choosingfabrics #paletteinspiration
When I was a teenager, my ex-boyfriend bought me a luxurious cashmere sweater. It’s funny that he was my ex-boyfriend, right? Well, never turn down cashmere! I wore and wore the thing until it had holes in it and even then couldn’t bear to throw something so soft and vibrant away. When I learned to sew I stashed the magenta cashmere with my fabrics, in hopes of upcycling it someday. I thought of that luxurious project seed recently, when Rora made her love of purple clearly known. Turns out the sweater is enough fabric to make a skirt for her miniature proportions. A magenta purple cashmere skirt? Why not! #dailyrora #girlskirt #upcycledclothing #upcycle #sewingcashmere #heatherross #sewingforchildren #mamamadeit #handmadeisheartmade #repurpose #simplesewing #handmadeclothing
A pattern is in the works! Shall I also put together a sew-along? Say November? Last year I made this Dear Dottie throw quilt, absolutely on a whim. I just needed to sew my scraps and these blocks really hit the spot. I received several request for a pattern, which makes a perfect excuse for having another go at Dottie. #deardottiequilt #sewyourscraps #sewyourscraps2019 #sewyourscrapsandstash #scrapsewing #scrapquilts #quiltersofinstagram #quiltsofinstagram #modernquilts #valuequilt #curvedpiecing
What do you do when you feel sort of restless, a bit in between things or even stuck? When I feel off-kilter, I like to work on a scrap quilt. The process of rifling through bits of fabric, cutting them into usuable shapes and sewing them into something pretty is so restorative. It’s that patchwork magic that never gets old. #patchwork #patchworkmagic #scrapquilts #deardottiequilt #sewyourscraps #scrapsewing #100daysofscraptherapy #sewingcurves #quiltersofinstagram #modernquilter #ilovepatchwork
A great day sewing with the #doubledutchquiltgroup Thanks, ladies, for making me welcome! I’m returning home by train with fresh inspiration and so grateful for the international quilt community. Many of these relationships started in #dogoodstitches . Who would have thought we’d meet in person someday! #sewingwithfriends #sewingcommunity #quiltersofinstagram #quiltingwithfriends
Welcome to my new Dutch sewing studio! Stop by my blog to see how I’m using this significantly smaller space? My attic room is about 14 x 16 feet with slanted ceilings and inset walls. Not the easiest canvas! With creativity I managed to squeeze everything into the room (even the longarm!) and make it function. I hope you enjoy this sewing room tour and maybe even get some fresh ideas for organizing your space, be it large or small. #sewingroom #seworganized #quilterspace #stitchedincolor #smallspaceliving #sewingstudio #mysewingroom #mysewingspace #quiltersofinstagram #ilovetosew #ikealovers #ikeahome #ikeastyle
