My Newest Class on Creativebug launches today- Sew A Roman Stripe Color Value Quilt

Today’s the day! My newest class for Creativebug is out today!

 

Sew a Roman Stripe Color Value Quilt

In this workshop, I will walk you through all the steps for making a scrappy quilt using lots of fabrics. The block itself is simple to construct and that’s intentional, we put the focus on design and making a quilt that is unique to the many fabrics you love! Using dark and light color value, we create a color value transition from light to dark across the quilt. I’ll teach you how to create this effect.

 

I can guarantee that if you have never focused on color value in your quilt making, I will open your eyes to what you can do with it!

When the quilt top is completed, it can often be intimidating to know exactly how to sandwich and assemble the quilt layers together. Not to worry, I will walk you through exactly how I do this. Once the layers are sewn together, I’ll walk you through my foolproof binding technique.

 

When you are done, you have a beautiful, colorful quilt that will brighten up any space!

 

The quilt I make in the workshop is 42″ square, with 7 rows and 7 columns, each representing a color of the rainbow. I have a limited number of kits available to make the quilt top very similar to the one I make in the workshop. This is a great option if you are lacking a big fabric stash, and want a little more variety.

I am thrilled to offer this workshop. My goal is to demystify not only the quilt making process (and hopefully make it fun) but also open your eyes to color value!

Want to make my Roman Stripe Quilt from my Creativebug workshop, but don’t have as many fabrics or as much variety in them as you’d like?

This is a complete kit to make the Roman Stripe quilt front- the cut strips, and embroidery floss for tying the layers. Size of the quilt in the workshop is 42″ square. Blair has curated these kits directly from her extensive fabric stash with respect to the rainbow effect of the quilt, using light and dark color value. Some of the fabrics in your kit will be similar, some will be different than the quilt shown, but ALL of the fabrics you receive will work together to recreate this quilt.

Quiltcon 2024 Recap- Part 1

Hello! I hope you are well!

 

I made a very quick trip to Raleigh, North Carolina recently, to attend Quiltcon 2024, put on by The Modern Quilt Guild. I also was able to slip in some family time with my brother and his family (I grew up about 1 1/2 hours outside of Raleigh). at Quiltcons past, I have taught workshops and stayed highly scheduled, but this time around I went purely as an attendee, so I had the chance to walk the show, see the quilts, and catch up with people in person instead of through the computer screen! It was wonderful!READ MORE

Savannah Month 6- Large Layout, Block 8 and Small Layout, Block 4, Tri-Recs Star Block

This month’s block…

is a favorite of mine, I hope you love it too. As I mentioned on our February Zoom call, up until now our blocks for Savannah have been finishing at 6 1/2″ / 6″. This one is the first larger quilt blocks we will be doing, and it’s called “Tri-Recs Star”. Once you have these blocks made, I think you will really start to see the components of this quilt come together when you lay out the blocks you’ve completed on a design wall!

Edited 3/15/24- Lilianne brought to my attention that the placement of the pieces in the pattern for the small layout version of this block is incorrect. Thank you for catching that Lilianne! The number of pieces for each value that you need has not changed, just how they are placed to create the block. I have revised and corrected the images on the small layout pattern sheet to reflect how the pieces for the Tri-Recs star points and the center 4-patch should be for this layout. Please email me if this does not make sense.

QAD- February Zoom Recording- Quiltcon 2024 recap, Membership news

Thank you to everyone who was able to join in for our rescheduled zoom call this week. I also appreciate the many get well wishes you all sent me when I had to cancel our original zoom date. Happy to say it was allergies (or the world’s quickest cold!).

 

I recap a gallery slideshow of quilts from my trip to Quiltcon in Raleigh, North Carolina. For those of you who have never heard of or attended Quiltcon- it is held every year by the Modern Quilt Guild and is a showcase of vendors, exhibits, classes, and lectures from leaders in Modern Quilting. In year’s past I have taught workshops, but this year I was there as only an attendee and was able to walk the show, see friends, and visit family! (I’m grew up in that area). I share images and thoughts on the many quilts I loved throughout the exhibit.

 

I also share inside the zoom towards the end that I am meeting with someone later this week to help me decide on a new membership experience. This will be mainly how I can create a community environment and make it super easy for us to upload and share our BOM blocks, quilts, and other projects. I have some exciting things planned, so I will be sure to keep you posted!

 

In the meantime, I hope you all are well and enjoying your days, fitting some creative time in, and embracing the season where you are.

QAD- New February Zoom Date

My sincere apologies for needing to cancel our Zoom meet up this past Saturday. I woke up feeling a bit under the weather, and worried about what that meant. Thankfully, I think it was something in the air causing me to feel a little allergic, because by the end of the day I was absolutely fine. Whew!

 

Thank you for the kind emails and messages. You are all so awesome!

 

I am headed to Quiltcon on Wednesday, so let’s schedule a zoom for when I get back and I can share everything I see during our zoom!

 

Let’s plan to zoom on Monday, 2/26 at noon MST
