some more stashing
I'm late showing these, they actually came a little while ago but here's what I've added to my stash recently...
I won this pretty bundle of Calico by Dear Stella from Cuts of Cotton in an instagram giveaway. A beautiful rainbow of colours and the print is so cute!
I ordered these cute lace zips from My Fabric House, they have lots of great colours and free UK p&p.
And then I couldn't help but get these beauties from the Fat Quarter Shop: Edith in Good Luck Green, Follie by Lotta Jansdotter - love that soft green; Coral Dot, Miss Kate by Bonnie and Camille (currently on sale and it's adorable!); Green Field, Horizon by Kate Spain; Navy Garden Focal; Green Leaf Ringie Dingie; Apricot Lottie Dots and Garden Green on White Garden Text, which are all from Pam Kitty Garden by Pam Kitty Morning - I especially love that focal print and the text one, so pretty.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I doubt I will have any sewing time because I will be seeing friends, eating cake and going out with my husband, which sounds perfectly wonderful to me!
Hope you've all had a great weekend :)
Jelly Roll Jam II quilt
The Fat Quarter Shop have a new free pattern, it's perfect for making baby quilts because you can make two from one jelly roll or even make a double sided quilt. They asked me which Jelly Roll I would like to use to make up a quilt and I chose the beautiful April Showers by Bonnie and Camille.
This quilt will be given to my friend who is having a baby boy and it measures about 36 x 38". I chose to take out all the flowery prints and stick with the blenders, raindrops and umbrellas. It was a lot of fun playing with the strips and deciding which ones to use for the narrow blocks, I'm happy I went with the umbrellas and the dots.
I free motioned quilted this clamshell loop pattern using the tutorial by Elizabeth. My fmq skills need work but it perfectly echoes the shapes of the raindrops and umbrellas and I adore the texture it gives the quilt. It puffed up beautifully after being washed and dried.
I used some of the jelly roll strips to make a scrappy binding and backed it with a turquoise brushed cotton fabric I had.
It will be super snuggly for the new baby and my youngest girl was testing it out before I even hand sewed the binding on!
You can get the free Jelly Roll Jam 2 pattern here. Also check out the Fat Quarter Shop's YouTube video, Kimberly has great tips for putting the quilt together!
There is currently a sale on all jelly rolls at the Fat Quarter Shop so grab yourself one and have fun making the Jelly Roll Jam 2.
a quick word
The hand quilting is going well.
Most of my time, however, is now being spent trying to think of ways to STOP Lois from walking!! She's only six months old and this is her new trick, cruising along the sofa.
I love that little tongue sticking out with determination.
So while I'm busy why not go shopping...
