Spun Sugar Sew Along Begins Today!

Hello, and welcome to the Spun Sugar Sew Along!  I'm excited to have you sewing along and I hope you are too!  This sew along will be pretty relaxed.  You can find the schedule here.  If you need the pattern, you can purchase it here.

We will be making four blocks per week.  This post will give you all of my tips for putting the blocks together.  After this week, all of my progress will be shared on my Instagram page. 

Let's get started!

New Pattern - Jingle Bells

I have another new pattern to share with you today!  This is Jingle Bells. 

 

Spun Sugar - Fabric Selection

Happy Sunday!  After a dark and dreary day yesterday, it's bright and sunny today and it has me thinking of summer.  And summer means my Spun Sugar sew along!  I'm still working out the schedule, but I'm hoping to kick things off in early June.  If you saw my Instagram post from a few days ago, you saw my planned fabric choices.  I've since gotten a few questions about fabric requirements so I thought I'd go ahead and talk about some tips for fabric selection now in case anyone wants to get a head start on fabric shopping.

Ombre Wanderlust

Hello!  You've probably heard of the wonderful ombre fabrics from V and Co for Moda.  If not, you're missing out!  And as if those fabrics weren't awesome enough already, they now come with confetti! Of course, I had to make something with them.  I had a jelly roll, and had just finished the pattern for my jelly-roll friendly pattern, Wanderlust.  I decided that ombre rings would look pretty neat, so I made another quilt!

 

New Pattern - Wanderlust

Happy Friday!  I am so excited to share my newest pattern with you today!  I'm calling this one Wanderlust. 

New Pattern - Window Box

Hello!  I've been away from the blog for a couple of months, and I'm looking forward to posting more often this year.  Some of you may know that we moved to a new home recently, and unpacking has been a lot more time-consuming than I expected.  That has delayed being able to really get back into the swing of things sewing-wise.  Most of the essentials are unpacked, and the rest is going to have to wait. 

I have had so many ideas for new quilt patterns and I've finally had some time to work on them.  One of them is complete and ready for you!  I'm calling it Window Box!

 

Star Kisses Sew-Along - Week 6

Welcome to the final week of the sew-along!  We're in the home stretch!  The blocks are completed and it's time to turn them into a completed quilt top! There are only 12 blocks in this quilt, so the top goes together quickly.  

Even though I decided on layout before I started assembling the blocks, I still put them on my design wall, just in case I wanted to make any last minute changes.
