PILLOWS FOR CHRISTMAS! from Kwilty Pleasures

My son loves pillows for his sofa and he loves

American Indian motifs.

Guess what he's getting for Christmas!

This one is envelope style.

The back with the envelope colsure.

And these two are my first attempt at

Zippers for the closures.

Lord, why have I not tried this before?

Probably because I didn't have an excellent video tutorial to follow.

Thanks to Kim Hensley for sending me this one from

Sheri from a Quilting Life's tutorial link.

I didn't do the binding finish.

THE LAST FINISH OF 2024 is SEW EVERGREEN! from Kwilty Pleasures

The last Sew-Along that Kim Hensley and I sewed for our

11th Sewcial Distance quilting was in September, 2024

but, its my last finish for 2024.

Kim and I love Christmas quilts

and this EVERGREEN Pattern by Cluck, Cluck Sew

was perfect.

I had lots of scraps to use from SWELL Christmas.

We broke it down into 4 weeks and

asked folks to join in. And one of the other

KWILTY GIRLS, Lucinda, did just that

using her scraps.

Kim used a FLURRY Layer Cake by Kate Spain

WEEK ONE

We picked our fabrics and cut the pattern pieces.

ITS IN THE BAG! from Kwilty Pleasures

I made a lot of zipper pouches thru the year.

I like to make these in stages, cut, quilt, zippers, finishes.

So take a look at these.

I took to my son's over Christmas sew he

could select some for his friends/coworkers.

And guess what...

I have about this many more to make next year!

CRAYON CHALLENGE from Kwilty Pleasures

I have to admit..I color outside the lines.

Columbus Modern Quilters had a CRAYON Challenge

I accepted!

In a blind draw…these were my Crayon colors!

Raw Sienna and Goldenrod

I wanted to do something different and useful!

And my Charley Harper birds flew in to help!

I had two small orphan blocks

I set them in some mustard GRUNGE and scraps.

To make a journal cover.

Front

Back

I used card-stock and fabric scraps to make the journal section dividers !

I have been journaling my creative journey for about 10 years.

You?

CORK IT! from Kwilty Pleasures

I hadn't made a bag for myself in quite some time.

I wanted to use up some of my cork!

I found a pattern that seemed perfect.

I like when a pattern has labels for the pieces needed.

Keeps me organized and happy!

The red is cork and sew easy to work with.

I don't always follow a pattern exactly.

Sometimes I change up a pocket, add a key toggle.

My label is added.

I added a slip pocket to the front for my phone.

The pattern called for a zipper pocket.

All ready for the fall season ...

PATTERN TEST - HOLDONG HEARTS from Kwilty Pleasures

I love to

Pattern test for Corrine Wells at

Frannie B Quilt Comoany!

I recently tested this pattern…

I needed it to fit the perimeters of my charity quilts

for Stitching Sisters.

I wasn’t crazy about the small hearts or

Setting the blocks on point.

I cut and labeled the pieces I would use for the various blocks.

I am using fabrics I got from the Stitching Sisters stash.

Fabrics sorted and labeled for 3 blocks

Block A

Block B

Block C

Because there were a lot of pieces that needed diagonal line sewing

I used my handy dandy ...

WONKED OUT GHASTLIES from Kwilty Pleasures

Several years ago I was in a Ghastlies Wonky Star Swap

with a few Friends on Instagram.

All of us used white low volume backgrounds,

And added our own Ghastlies prints and stash for then stars.

These are my blocks!

They sat for years as I was unsure what I wanted to do with them.

I never rush into anything!

Someone gave me this pattern and a lightbulb went off!

I could do something similar, but different.

I made sure all the blocks were the same size and proceeded from there

And I found the greenish fabric in my stash ...
