Lesson in Batiks

On April 30, 2018 By MalloryIn Fabric, quiltingLeave a comment

It is usually a little bit thinner and lighter in weight than regular cotton fabric. This makes it great for spring/summer quilts. Batik fabric …

There’s an App for that

On April 27, 2018 By MalloryIn Notions and tools, quiltingLeave a comment

In the age of technology there seems to be an App for everything. Quilting is no exception. I use an app called QuiltSandwich. This app does a lot! The number one thing I use it for is cataloging my fabric stash. Having pictures and the measurements of my fabrics allows me to keep everything organized. …

My current project calls for the use of a template as part of the main blocks. There a two main ways to use templates. The first is to just use paper and a ruler. I purchased my Storm At Sea pattern online as a downloadable pattern so I was able to print it at home. …

Audiobook Recommendations

On April 18, 2018April 18, 2018 By MalloryIn Entertainment, quiltingLeave a comment

An earlier blog post I did was all about the podcasts I like to listen to while quilt. I listen to podcasts quite a bit and sometimes I go through all the new episodes of shows that I subscribe to. When this happens I will listen to audiobooks. I have a subscription to Audible and …

It is finally starting to feel like spring in my neck of the woods so I spent a lot of time outside this weekend soaking up some much needed vitamin D. As a result, I spent only a little bit of time in my quilt room. After spending several months on my Christmas Quilt, I …

Magnetic Clasp Tutorial

On April 13, 2018April 13, 2018 By MalloryIn Notions and tools, Projects, quilting, Techniques, TutorialsLeave a comment

As I mentioned in my last post, my Cat-I-Tude bag included a magnetic clasp. The actual pattern does not call for a clasp but I decided my bag needed something to hold everything in. Adding a claps sounds intimidating but it is pretty easy. I was able to purchase 100 of these generic clasps from Amazon …

This weekend I decided to do a quick and easy project. Following a Pink Sand Beach Designs pattern, I used my fabulous Benartex Cat-I-Tude fabric to make a tote bag. This bag calls for interfacing. When I first started using sewing, I was intimidated by interfacing and thought it would be difficult to use. That …

I finally finished my Country Charmer Christmas Quilt! This is one of my smaller quilts but it probably was my most time consuming.
