Magpie Quilts: July 2015
http://www.magpiequilts.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
How To Buy A Quilt. Friday, 17 July 2015. Scrappy quilts are my fav kind of quilts and yesterday I pulled out my bin of 1.5" scraps. The quilt I've been dreaming of making with these little pieces was a scrappy double Irish chain quilt. I love rearranging the pieces until I get something that looks good and I started with just a white background and scraps. Then I put yellow scraps for the main diagonal chain of squares and liked that look. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Where does it go?

How To Buy A Quilt. Sunday, 14 June 2015. Two Finds Make One Quilt. Quite often, I find myself sorting through my stacks of fabric to find something and end up finding something else altogether. This little quilt was a result of a couple finds while I was sorting fabrics. Panel pieces and friendship stars. It just so happened that this time as I was sorting, I noticed both these fabrics, realized what a great match they were together, pulled them out and promptly put all my other ongoing projects to the ...

Magpie Quilts: Family Tree Quilt
http://www.magpiequilts.com/2015/06/family-tree-quilt.html
How To Buy A Quilt. Friday, 12 June 2015. Recently I completed a family tree quilt. This was a challenge for me, not just to put it together, but to use the ideas and feedback from my customer and adapt the design to the size of the embroidery. The details were fused on with Steam a Seam and then button hole stitched. The customer found some butterfly fabric she really loved and it is used as the border. It is quilted with an all-over butterfly pattern that reflects the butterflies in the border. School ...

How To Buy A Quilt. Monday, 25 August 2014. Good sunny Monday morning! I have a huge list of things to get done this week and not sure if I'll actually get anywhere on that list, but blogging seems to be a good way to procrastinate! American Banner from Moda Coasters - For Sale. Blue Table Runner - For Sale. This denim blue fabric line is great. I am going to find a pattern for a tiered skirt and get a little more of it and actually sew something for myself from it. Blue is still my fav color! For our 30...

How To Buy A Quilt. Thursday, 26 March 2015. Antique Quilt Top to Finished Quilt. Last year I bought an antique butterfly quilt top from the shop "A String or Two". On Etsy. The top was in really good condition, with only a spot that looks like maybe a scorch mark from an iron, but not too noticeable. I used a plain muslin backing and sent it off to Marie of Blueberry Hill Quilts. Butterfly Quilt close up. Links to this post. Wednesday, 25 March 2015. Auditioning Sashing for a Scrappy Quilt.

Magpie Quilts: November 2014
http://www.magpiequilts.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
How To Buy A Quilt. Saturday, 29 November 2014. I live about 2.5 hours from my mom and my sisters, but I know we share a love of spending time with family and crafting. Large room for crafting. A few years ago, we tried to find a day to just get together, visit and craft on whatever we had going on. We've managed to do this 3 or 4 times, and then skipped a year and this year were able to get a day together. My mom crocheting an edge on a baby blanket. Or avoiding getting their photo taken? Four memory qu...

Magpie Quilts: January 2015

How To Buy A Quilt. Sunday, 25 January 2015. And Another Chevron Quilt. One of the challenges of selling quilts online is that colors are not always shown true on every monitor or screen. When I get a request for a custom quilt, I will often ask for a paint chip number so I can find the right fabric for that quilt. Matching fabrics to paint chips. These fabrics are for a twin sized chevron quilt and I think I found a pretty close match with these Robert Kaufmann Kona solid cottons. Links to this post.
