Fabric Stash Sunday #4

This Sunday's collection is related to last Sunday's because it too, is Dear Stella Lanikai in the blue colorway.  I absolutely love these colors and prints!  Especially the ikat in the top left corner - I've made a J. Crew knockoff skirt and couch pillows because I want to see it all the time.  These are a little harder to find now, but definitely worth the purchase if you ask me!  I still haven't decided what to do with this scrumptious little bundle, but it'll be a good one, I promise.  Go see what others have been stashing over at Finding Fifth!

WIP Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!  What have you been sewing this week?  Finish anything?  Me neither...  Start a few new projects?  I sure started a whopper...

I've seen the lovely Marcelle Medallion quilts on Instagram and really would like to make one, but I didn't have the book sadly.  Instead, I found another great version of a border upon border upon border quilt in a book I already had on my shelf.  Saturday, I spent the afternoon hand tracing these teeny tiny templates onto a rainbow of scraps from my bin and some low volume (aka mostly white) scraps.  Here's the arrangement I came up with for the center medallion:

See those pieces?  I put a bobby pin on one of them for size reference.  Small, right?  I've started sewing a couple of the rows together and had to unsew them right away because I wasn't happy with the way the points matched up.  

The pink hearts print is vintage from my grandma's stash!

This quilt has 21 borders mostly all made with 2" or smaller pieces, so this will take awhile, years maybe.  But the fun part will be to watch it grow on my design wall and add scraps from other projects that I'm working on in the meantime.  I can't wait to share more of my ambitious project in the future!

Munki Monday: June Bee Block #2 for Munki in the Middle

Sarah requested wonky log cabins made with Munki Munki fabric or other Heather Ross treasures.  My first block used tadpoles from West Hill collection; go check it out here!  I had to make a pink version using the adorable cats (Frederick gets the spotlight here) and also a little pink gnome off to the side.  I really love how cheerful this one is!  

Fabric Stash Sunday #3

This fabric is a bit older, but I you know what they say, an oldie but a goodie!  These lovelies are Mimosa by Dear Stella fabrics.  I love the bright orange and pink combo.  The tiles and stripes make great blenders, and the florals would be great focus fabrics.  My favorite is the ikat, and if you remember my ikat J. Crew skirt, the print is the same but the blue colorway.  I don't have a plan for these beauties just yet, but I'm sure a perfect quilt pattern will come along eventually :)  Please go check out the other lovely stashes at Finding Fifth!

WIP Wednesday

What have you been sewing lately?  I spent some time Sunday afternoon pinning another quilt top that's been patiently waiting for over a year to be quilted.  The fabric is mostly Sew Cherry by Lori Holt with a few of the earlier DS Quilts prints mixed in so I'd have enough jelly roll strips.  The quilt pattern is Over and Under from Scrap Basket Sensations by Kim Brackett.   I'm using a great blue and green plaid Martha Stewart sheet for the backing - you just can't beat a $3.99 thrift store sheet for a quilt back!

June Munki in the Middle Bee Block #1

I finished my first of two improv log cabin blocks for June's Munki in the Middle Bee on Flickr.  The queen bee requested log cabins with the Munki in the middle of course, and sticking to the colorway of the center print with a little black and white mixed in.  

I picked a square of tadpoles for the center, grabbed my yellow scrap bin, and pulled what little black and white prints I have in my stash.  Here's what I came up with finally.  Queen bee specified some of the colors she wanted us to use, and unfortunately pink wasn't one of them.  Hopefully she'll say pink is ok because I have some great scraps to go with my Munki cats!

Munki Munki for sale or swap!

I just listed some Heather Ross Munki Munki leg panels for sale in my Etsy shop.  I have the lovely pink gnomes and blue Calypso prints listed, but also have lobsters available if interested.  Don't want to purchase but have some Munki you'd want to swap me?  Just leave a comment or send me an email :)
