I love cute bags and I love them more if they're handmade! So, one afternoon, I kept my kids entertained with papers and watercolors beside me while I sat down with my sewing buddy - my sturdy Alfa 4550. We whipped this cute lined tote which I called the "Beautiful Day Tote Bag".
let me share with you a tutorial for this easy-peasy quilted reversible tote I made for this summer. I bring this tote to work to hold my packed snacks, a bottle of water and my on-the-go medicine kit.
This week’s clue for the Orca Bay Mystery Quilt is to make 350 half-square triangle (HSQ) units that measure 2″ square unfinished, 1.5″ finished (when sewn into a block or the quilt itself). After all the cutting I did for the quarter-square triangle units I wasn’t looking forward to this step.
This is a basic tutorial for simple quilting in the hoop without marking your quilt top. It is good practice if you ever want to move on to doing special designs in specific shapes, blocks and spaces.
I’m doing a bunch of snowball blocks for a new quilt top and I thought I’d share my method. Snowball blocks normally have smaller corner triangles but I wanted more color in my quilt so mine are bigger.
This is a great block to learn paper piecing on and use up scraps at the same time! You can use it to make a mini quilt with several blocks or just use it as I did for a small pincushion.
