This machine quilted in the hoop machine embroidery design is a quick and fun project to make for Christmas gifts. My children's teachers were thrilled with them! It is also a great use of small pieces of fabric, batting, and stabilizer. Instructions are written such that even a beginner can make it.<br />
<br />
The embroidery files have block sizes ranging from 4" to 9.5" so you can make as small or as large as you want. The smaller one looks great as a "bell pull." Available in multiple machine formats and hoop sizes - all in the same download. <a href="https://www.craftsy.com/quilting/patterns/ith-christmas-wallhanging-peace/665480" target="_blank">Click here to see them</a>michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08960594787401232033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946600605853982980.post-5184877199225069042018-03-25T18:51:00.002-04:002018-05-06T20:34:20.044-04:00To Grandmother's House We Go - a free quilt pattern<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

This quilt is a take on little red riding hood. I just think it is adorable for girls of any age! This is a great opportunity to learn flying geese. There is a little applique, for those who just want to get their toes wet, and the rest is traditional piecing. It is definitely a great opportunity to use up some of those fabric scraps! Windham Fabrics has provided this free quilt pattern.<br />

I have a customer who is a member of a Spelunking group. What is spelunking? It is for people who actually enjoy crawling around in caves and other dark crevices in the earth. I will stick to quilting and an occasional hike in wide open spaces.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Anyway, every year a group of Spelunkers gets together and they part of their activities is a silent auction. She always makes a quilt for the auction and this is the current year's installment.<br />
<br />

Typically, her quilts for this event include bats in the fabric and I believe the last couple of years the quilting was a design that included bats. This year, I felt like the design of the quilt was calling for a geometric quilting design. At first, I was leaning towards squares/lines....then the circles changed my mind. I landed on this circular "bubbles" all-over design.<br />

This quilt is a great one to learn about the use of color value in quilt-making. It is also a great use of scraps.<br />

Whenever I look at a quilt and have a hard time figuring out where the square units are, I always think it has got to be a difficult quilt. Most of the time they are not though.....as is the case with this beauty.<br />
<br />
This pattern utilizes charm packs and 2 background colors in yardage.....so even picking your fabrics is easy! The designer gives great strip cutting and chain piecing instructions that make this quilt a breeze.<br />

Who doesn't love a good Kim Diehl quilt pattern? This one is made with Asian-inspired fabrics - something I don't think I would have thought of for a Kim Diehl pattern....usually made with civil war era fabric prints.<br />

I think this quilt is beautiful. I like the depth that the borders add to it.<br />
<br />
It was originally posted as a mystery quilt, but that was some time ago, so all the "pieces" of the puzzle are posted and you don't have to do it as a mystery.<br />
<br />
It is interesting to note that this quilt is actually set on point, even though at first glance it appears to be a horizontal row quilt.michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08960594787401232033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946600605853982980.post-50810586181104098552017-12-21T22:51:00.000-05:002018-05-06T20:34:20.040-04:00Free Fat Quarter Friendly Quilt Pattern<br />

This is a really pretty one and makes great use of a fat quarter pack.<br />
<br />
The instructions include very good strip cutting, which I love!<br />

This quilt utilizes charm squares - of course, you can cut your own, but I have some sitting around that I always wonder - "what should I do with these?"<br />
<br />
The pattern is written by a blogger and appears to be well written. At least it doesn't just give you templates and say good luck!<br />
<br />
Don't let the front page scare you off - shows measurements are shown in metric....but the pattern gives you standard measurements for cutting/piecing.michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08960594787401232033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946600605853982980.post-6202097468132375692017-11-11T23:20:00.000-05:002018-05-06T20:34:20.059-04:00Free Quilt Pattern - Glitz Garden<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

Oddly shaped quilts always intrigue me - especially when they are more "traditional" in the main design. The pattern is a combination of applique and traditional piecing. No templates though - just regular rotary cutting in the traditional piecing.

This pattern is not for the faint of heart. It is a traditionally pieced quilt - and contains a lot of y-seams. It also uses templates, rather than strip cutting instructions. It is beautiful though and might be worth the challenge.

This pattern is an applique pattern, but the pieces are large and not complicated....The Dresden plate "dahlias" are pieced first, then appliqued.The back of it is even adorable! Thank you, Michael Miller, for the free quilt pattern.<br />

What are you working on? I have been working on this quilt - hope to finish soon. I have been pretty sick for a couple of months now, so my stamina hasn't been so good.....hope to pick up the pace soon, because it is time to start preparing for Christmas!<br />

I really like this quilt pattern. I probably would do something a little different to the outside border, but the stars are quite eye-catching. A simple snowball square and four half-square triangle blocks are all that are needed to make the central part of this quilt.

Sometimes it is the color, the print, or the value changes that draw your eye to a quilting project. In this case, it was the layout that caught my attention. Thank you to studioE for this free table runner pattern. The pattern also includes a table topper and placemat pattern as well.<br />

If you are an Embird user or are considering purchasing Embird, I created a stitch out file of all the outline stitches available in Embird (version 2017.) I think it is helpful to have stitch-outs on hand when deciding which stitches to use. These can be used on Appliques or just as decorative stitching, etc.<br />
<br />

You can put them into stitch samplers. They can be placed on any outline shape you create. Spirals of some of these designs would be pretty - even as a design element on a quilt. Hmmm.....I've got my brain working now!<br />

I found the candlewick stitches to be a little weird, here is a photo of the back of the stitch-out. See how there is virtually no bobbin thread showing? Not sure if it is the bobbin thread choice, fabric or the stitch. When I use it on another item, I will let you know if it turns out differently.<br />

After I stitched out, I used a fine tip permanent marker to label them with the name they are referred to in Embird.<br />
<br />
I know - I could have been more industrious and embroidered the text, but it was late at night and I was anxious to see the stitches.<br />

The fabric is a table-cloth remnant, so it is fairly heavy.</span></div>

All of the stitches are done in the default settings in Embird - I didn't change any sizes. Note they adjusted to the size of the line as well. I didn't plan the length of the line - yet they all seem to begin and end in a nice place.<br />
