One duck down… three to go. I don’t normally do commission quilts but the Beaks on Ice was just too cute not to make. Thank you to Maggi Buckler for teaching me foundation paper piecing 2 years ago and being my FPP support. 😊

What do you do with all the leftover scraps from a quilt? Cut them into even smaller pieces and sew them back together. Very efficient.

These little holiday critters are leftovers from my , and I couldn’t resist turning them into my favorite quilt block, the sawtooth star. And since I love a good excuse to make a zipper pouch, here we are!

Three little Pixel Pouches, made entirely from scraps. So naturally, I consider them free.

My Pixel Pouch pattern teaches you how to turn just about any size quilt block into a zipper pouch. Perfect for those times when you want to make a few fun blocks but have absolutely no intention of making an entire quilt.

Pattern available on my website! And these little beauties will make their debut Clover Market on Sunday!

It’s going to be a gorgeous fall day, hope you can come by and visit my booth along with so many other amazing makers.

What a fun Saturday!

Yesterday Amanda | Handmade Bags & Modern Quilting and Christina teamed up for a Fussy Cutting Creative Workshop! We spent the day cutting perfectly good fabric into tiny pieces and sewing it all back together. As one does.

We loved seeing all the different directions everyone took with their projects! So many great fabric combinations, clever little details, and lots of ideas being tossed around. Give a room full of creative people the same general concept and it’s pretty amazing how differently everyone runs with it.

A big thank you to everyone who spent their Saturday sewing with us! We had such a great time collaborating on this workshop, and the projects that came out of it were fantastic!

Progress on my … Got a few of the rows sewn together and I really like how busy this quilt is. It’s a lot. Could probably be more. Wait until you see the pantograph and thread Amanda and I have been planning.

I’m using the Merry Happy fabric line mixed with a bunch of prints from my stash. Subtlety was not really the goal here.

Still have 8 more blocks to make!

What do you do with all the scraps left over from a few projects?

Stitch them together and make a pouch, obviously.

This Pixel Pouch is made entirely from leftover bits of Freaky Familiars from ★ RUBY STAR SOCIETY ★ that I absolutely was not going to throw away. See? This is why we keep everything.

My Pixel Pouch pattern teaches you how to turn any size quilt block into a zip pouch, which makes it perfect for scrappy improv, test blocks, or whatever you’ve got hanging around your sewing room.

Pattern is available on my website!

Made myself a new bag to take when I teach classes. I definitely went ALL IN on it.

The Stitch & Stash Tote by Knot and Thread seemed like the perfect size for all the things I haul around with me to teach. I also used it as an excuse to pull out a bunch of my saved goodies. Webbing I’ve been hoarding, fun tags, patches, the good fabric… if I loved it, it made the cut.

You could say this bag has a lot of flair. 😂
Especially the LESS PEOPLE MORE DOGS patch. This one makes me laugh every time I look at it. I found it at last week and knew immediately it had to go on here. Also very much love the “super cool” pigeon tag from Cost Club Handmade.

This bag is just for me, so you’ll definitely see it out in the wild hauling around way too much sewing stuff, like always.

And if you want to make your own, I’ll be teaching the Stitch & Stash Tote at The Old Country Store this November!

This School Days pouch gave me an excuse to bust out that good old selvage magic letters panel.

Finding letters that were the right size, color, and font took far longer than I expected. There was definitely rearranging, swapping, and overthinking. 😂

Sewing is funny like that. I’ll happily spend way too much time on a tiny detail that most people will notice for about three seconds.

Totally worth it for a little “Smart Cookie” pencil pouch just in time for back to school.

This past week we were on our annual family vacation in Ocean City, NJ. One of the things we always say on vacation is that everyone should get to do what they want. ❤️

So, thanks to my very supportive husband, I packed my sewing machine. It felt a little ridiculous loading it into the car for a beach vacation, but after a day at the beach, sitting at the kitchen table with my audiobook playing and working on a Christmas quilt for our bed was exactly how I wanted to relax.

Here’s the progress! One block down, 15 to go. The good news is all the tiny pieces are already made, so now it’s mostly assembly from here.

Anyone else bring a project on vacation?
