Happy Thursday! Time the share the last of the new patterns, the Simply Sampled Quilt Pattern! This is a skill-building sampler quilt I designed for the Block of the Month Club we run at The Sewcial Lounge. 


Knowing that many students would have little to no quilting experience, I wanted them to learn something every session! So, there are lots of different techniques covered in this pattern. There are half-square triangles, quarter square triangles, flying geese, strip piecing, and more.  Most of the techniques are repeated at least once so that by the end of the quilt, it should really sink in!


I made the blocks for this quilt during our first round of block of the month club in 2013.  I finally put it together this Spring! The quilting was done by Melissa of Sew Shabby Quilting. I can never resist swirls, and I love how this quilt turned out! Sometimes you just need some fun, all-over quilting!



Crinkly, wrinkly, quilty goodness!


I bound this puppy up in Oval Elements in Green Apple by Art Gallery Fabrics.  As it turns out, I am addicted to green bindings, I have used lime green for binding on NINE quilts! Oh well, it's just too perfect! I used my Color Me Retro collection for the top and back, with Pure Elements in Snow for the sashing.

We still have a spot left in our September - December session of Block of the Month club! There is a January - June session scheduled as well! Sign up here!

You can find the PDF and paper versions of the Simply Sampled Pattern in my shop!

New Patterns

Happy Monday! I'm here today to share three new patterns with you! I've been working on getting these ready pretty much non-stop for the last few weeks, so I'm happy to finally have them done! The PDFs and paper versions are available now in my shop.  I want to simply introduce them to you today, and will spend a post on each one this week to talk about them in detail!


First up is the Sew Portable Travel Set Pattern! I have been trying to find time to work on this pattern for ages! This is the travel set I use for my Singer Featherweight 221. You'll find instructions for the tote bag, extension table cover and drawstring bag in this pattern. Even if you don't have a vintage machine, it's a super sturdy tote bag, and I use it all the time! It's designed to fit the Featherweight but will fit other vintage or small machines up to 11" long.


Next, is the Triplizip Zipper Pouch Pattern! These are the pouches that I teach at The Sewcial Lounge in the Zipper Pouch class and Laminated Zipper Pouch class! If you've never tried zippers before, this is the pattern for you.  There are three pouches in this pattern, a simple lined pouch, a cosmetic pouch with gussets, and a boxy pouch. They are fun and easy to customize!


The last one is the Simply Sampled Pattern. This is a a skill-building sampler I designed for the Block of the Month club I teach at The Sewcial Lounge (we have one spot left in our Sept-Dec session!). It's perfect for a quilter who is ready to tackle basic quilting techniques. From strip piecing to flying geese and quarter square triangles there are lots of different things to learn.

I'll be back tomorrow to chat more about the Sew Portable Travel Set! Have a great day!
