AGF Stitched // Blithe Quilt

March 7, 2016
Another year of AGF Stitched has started up!  If you aren’t familiar with AGF Stitched, it’s a collaboration between Art Gallery Fabrics and Fat Quarter Shop.  Each quarter a group of select bloggers makes a set pattern with Art Gallery Fabrics of our choosing, and Fat Quarter Shop puts together a video tutorial for making the quilt.  Our first quilt for this year is the Blithe Quilt, which is available as a free download at Fat Quarter Shop.

Binding Perfectly Mitered Corners

January 11, 2016
I had a couple of people on Instagram ask me about my mitered corners on my quilts, and how I got them to turn out so “perfect”.  Perfect is of course in the eye of the beholder, but I do tend to have nicely squared corners on my binding.  It comes from years of practice and perfecting my technique.  It’s not difficult, or any big secret, so let’s break it down in photos and then you too can love...

Binding // Joining Ends

January 10, 2016
I was reviewing my binding posts (1, 2, and 3) before my binding class at Modern Domestic last month, as I wanted to direct students there for a refresher after class should they forget a step.  I realized that while it’s still relevant, I don’t actually show the method i’m using now to attach the ends of my binding.  It’s still the same basic idea, but I now use the Fons & Porter Binding Tool (affiliate link) to help me...

AGF Stitched // Locket Quilt

January 7, 2016
I’m a week late posting my AGF Stitched quilt for the last quarter of 2015.  December threw me for a loop, not least of which was because I had a horrible flu that just wouldn’t go away.  Despite all of that, I was able to finish the 4th quilt in the AGF Stitched series.  It’s the Locket Quilt pattern (a free download) designed to feature Amy Sinibaldi’s new fabric line for Art Gallery Fabrics (which I just love).  For...

Quilted Christmas Tree Skirt

November 2, 2015
  ** Modern Christmas Tree Skirt Workshop on December 5th at Modern Domestic!** This has to be one of the most requested patterns i’ve ever had.  Since I first made this tree skirt for a Flickr swap years ago I have gotten many emails requesting a pattern for it.  I always had intentions of put it together, but just never got to it.  I finally decided it needed to be done.  I really wanted to do something outside of the...

My mom requested I make this Swedish Braided bread with apple pie filling for her birthday this year, instead of a cake. It smells delicious and I can't wait to dig in! #birthdaytreat #swedishbraidedbread

I decided to make his ornament this year, and while I set out to make a toilet paper roll ornament, he saw white clay and assumed goose, so I made him Lucy goose. He's quite happy, and so am I. He loves our Lucy goose.

I used oven-bake polymer clay (Michael's brand was what I had on hand), acrylic paint (just the craft variety...again, what I already had on hand), and a glossy glaze (Sculpey, which I don't recommend, its gotten very thin since I last used it, it took way too many coats to be the right thickness). The ornament is about 1.5"h x 1.5"w x 0.5"deep. It was really easy to make, so don't say you can't do it. You can.

Taking advantage of my end of year time off from q Taking advantage of my end of year time off from quilting to do a little crafting. I made an ornament for Brice (which I'll share later when it's finished), and then painted these cute little canvases while my paint was out yesterday. You can see individual photos of each of them over on my other account  @christinalanecreates (grouped with the photo like this).
It gets so dark here this time of year, by afterno It gets so dark here this time of year, by afternoon I've lost all light for photos! This is another quilt quilted for @jenny.l.barrett I felt Sashy was the right amount of modern and traditional for this quilt top. I was having a hard time picking a design for this but kept coming back to this. It's a go-to design for me and I always love it on everything. I think it ended up being pretty perfect for this. #sometimescrafterlongarmquilting
