Hi Everybody! Hope your week is wrapping up nicely! Mine has had a very slow start (hence the lack of posts!), but I'm feeling re-energized now. This weekend and week are going to be jam packed with good stuff!
I was very happy to finish up this mini quilt today! It uses four New York Beauty blocks! You can find the pattern here, it's block 7. I'll be sharing a tutorial to go along with the pattern on Monday! It's paper pieced, which made it totally do-able. I used a variety of prints for the main part of the mini and Quilter's Linen for the background/binding. It finishes at about 16"!
Darci put together a little mini quilt swap between a few of us where we simply had to make a mini quilt and then vote on our favorites! This is the mini I made! Last weekend, Faith was making a wonky churn dash block, and I just couldn't get it out of my head! So, that was the inspiration for this mini! I used scraps of Anna Maria Horner voile prints from Little Folks and Innocent Crush.
I've slowly been thrifting more sheets over the last few weeks and finally got them into the shop!
After waiting and waiting I finally got a Cathrineholm teapot! I have wanted one forever!! I won this one on ebay last week for a steal! It's so beautiful in person, I love it!
This awesomeness arrived this week from Amanda for my Birthday! It is a viewfinder with a custom George reel! Such a super cool surprise! She ordered it from Image3d.com! I can't stop looking at it!
George :)

ReplyDeleteHi! I saw that you were planning on making the complete New York Beauty quilt? Somehow I missed the tutorial for block 6 and now the link seems to be inactive. You don't perhaps have a copy somewhere of the block 6 tutorial please?
DeleteYou can find all the blocks here: http://www.lenzula.de/en/pattern/free-pattern/new-york-beauty.html
DeleteWhat wonderful treasures!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun week, love the mini's.
ReplyDeletei'm already trying to figure out what photos i can possibly use to make a reel and order my own viewfinder!! i totally had one as a kid - so much fun!
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet gift and such a cool site! im so happy for you to finally get a catherineholm. they are yummy. both your quilts are super sweet
ReplyDeleteLoving the NY Beauty mini! I'll be back for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteLove your mini's! I need a few making for my sewing room wall I think!
ReplyDeleteYour New York Beauty block is the best one I've seen :) Like I said on Instagram - fabric sunshine!!!!
ReplyDelete...a ViewMaster and a reel of George photos? How cool is that!!!!
ReplyDeleteooh! I love everything about your week! Love the top mini...and George :)
ReplyDeletehappy birthday
ReplyDeleteGeorge is the cutest bunny
I love the New York block. I;m excited for the tutorial!
ReplyDeletea custom viewmaster reel? Too amazing!
ReplyDeletelove the viewmaster thingy, it looks so fun! and yay for the teapot score. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool present! And congrats on your ebay win!
ReplyDeleteIsn't the viewfinder awesome! I was so excited she got that for you. I am so tempted to get one for Brice. Actually, we have a viewfinder, wonder if the reels would work in it?? I LOVE both of the mini quilts too. It was too hard to choose my favorite quilt. I want them all. I think Darci should just toss our names in a hat and do a random draw for who gets what! I have your birthday gift all packed up in an envelope, but I just need to mail it! Life is too busy these days. :)
ReplyDeleteThe viewfinder is such an awesome gift! I bet it was hard for to pick George faves to fit on the reel! Your minis are lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreat things this week, but the viewfinder reel tops it all!
ReplyDeleteWow the New York Beauty mini is so great! I can't wait for that tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI'm playing with paper pieced strings in mini form & trying to decide what to do with them after I have the minis made. I've been hanging mine on the wall, do you do anything special with all your great minis?

New York beauty is one of my favorite quilt patterns! I love this variation/color choices.
ReplyDeleteI may have to try out your paper piecing tutorial!
I just sent your blog to my sister, she too has a bunny, a gorgeous little holland lop who is two. His name? GEORGE!
ReplyDeleteI totally gasped when I saw your George! What are the odds? Two handsome boys name George! Is your George as devious as hers? I swear sometimes he thinks he's a tiny dog...
That viewmaster is so amazing! What a perfect gift! My daughter loves it and is ready to make her own now. Maybe for her next birthday...
ReplyDeleteIt's actually the link for the TUTORIAL for block 6 that isn't working. I don't suppose anyone saved it as a PDF that they could share?
ReplyDeleteI never wrote a tutorial for block 6, but you can find the pattern for that block here: https://www.lenzula.de/images/pattern/free/nyb/Nyb6.pdf
