It's the Drummer Boy Dresdens Sew-Along, co-hosted by @themakingsofjoy and Stitched in Color. 🥁 Over 9 weeks of stitching, June through July, we'll create the Drummer Boy Dresden quilt. It combines scrap sewing, appliqué and traditional piecing. New to curve sewing or appliqué? Never fear. This quilt is beginner-friendly. Jump in to learn and win prizes along the way! You can sew-along, whatever your pace! #modernquilter #scrapquilts #scraphappy #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersofinstagram #sewalong
Today is an emotional day. We attended our local church for the last time and this afternoon we are headed to a goodbye party with friends at the lake. Today I asked Liam to document my last stitches in this home, in this amazing space. This is the place where I learned how to sew, discovered my creative side, started my blog, developed a business and connected with the great big world. It has been a blessed place. A very special home indeed! I’ve planted love and beauty here. May it bloom long after I’m gone.
Sew a little #backgroundsparkle! I’ve curated some custom bundles to help you gather Fabrics for our #drummerboydresdens. Catch your favorite at @fencelinefabrics , @kiwifabric or @wintercreekcloth #modernfabrics #fabricbundles #buildyourstash #modernquilts
Today our moving day is just a week away. Sometimes I feel ahead of schedule on packing; other times, I remember all the little things that must be done before we move and feel the opposite. We still have to sell our cars, finish selling furniture, prepare the kid’s school records, provide the shipping company with documentation and wrap up so many, many financial details. But I know it will all happen. Between now and next week, it will all come to pass in one version or another. I know this with my head, but my heart is somewhere else. In shock? I feel numb, like I’m watching this move happening, in amazement, in anticipation and with sadness too. So many goodbyes. So many changes. So many brave steps into the bright, unknown future. #expatchronicles
Seriously, where do they learn these sassy expressions? What’s that? Another #geraniumdress I know, I know! I just can’t get enough of them. The pattern is so easy and so adaptable, especially with the pattern extension. There are other dear little girl dresses I’ll have to make someday, but for now this is so easy, comfortable and fast! #madebyraepattern #loominous #trixiefabric #heatherross #mamamadeit #sewingdresses #dailyrora
A little scrap magic happening here today! And.... packing 😁. But the scrap quilt is much more photogenic. Full Scrappy is looking for a new home. #crossroadsblock #scrapquiltsarethebest #finishedquilt #ilovepatchwork #createeveryday #moderntraditions #scraphappysewing #scraphappy #quiltsofinstagram
Happy day! All of us smitten with the Drummer Boy Dresden quilt are soooo excited to start on our own scrappy renditions soon! Here to make that possible… the Drummer Boy Dresden pattern. Yippee! I’ve created this pattern with permission, based on Joy Martin’s glorious quilt @themakingsofjoy . I’ve enlarged the block size to 6” and streamlined block design, both to shave off a little construction time while maximizing enjoyment. Worried about hand sewing or tedious appliqué edges? Worry not! This pattern can be completely machine sewn - that’s how I’m going to make it. Or, you can mix in some hand appliqué for portable sewing as desired. As far as edges, there is absolutely NO pressing under of edges in this pattern. Even the curved quarter-circle shape is machine sewn, like a drunkard’s path block. Easy peasy! I hope you’ll join us for the June and July sew along! I can’t wait to get started!!! #drummerboydresdens #stitchedincolorpattern #ilovepatchwork #scrapquiltsarethebest #modernquilter #dresdenquilt #grandmothersfanquilt
