Diva from Sew Preeti Quilts

Do you remember Diva?



Designed in EQ8, Diva was published in Make Modern Issue 58. Now, she is available as a standalone pattern in my Etsy Shop.




I made Diva using the Vintage Charm collection, combined with Island Batik Solids in Red, Orange, Yellow and Fuchsia. The focus fabric strip sets were scraps leftover from making Kashvi, but there is nothing scrappy about Diva!



Finishing at 51" by 68" she glides in royal splendor. And although you may think that she is set in her ways, she is very adaptable. I encourage you to take a look at the various ...

Fun on a Friday! from Humble Quilts

My design wall is pretty empty these days. The primitive Lone Cabin quilt is at the quilters and summertime isn't the most productive time in my sewing room. 


But look at this amazing antique quilt block! I can see this being the center of a sweet medallion quilt. 

 
This was my design wall before putting up that antique block- so stark and empty. 



Alas! I'm pulling fabric for the yearly sewawlong! I'll add to these strips, red, green and a stripey brown! I'm hoping to get the top completed this weekend as we will be traveling ...

Welcome Wreath: a 2-Color Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

 Hi there! This past month has been a whirlwind with my nephew's wedding in Montana, kids home from college, and out-of-towners staying with us here and there. It's been fun and I've loved every minute!  But now things are slowing down and I want to share a quilt I finished a little while ago.


Back in May, I had the idea to make my new pattern, Welcome Wreath in a 2-color version.
You can check out the original, colorful version HERE.


I mocked up a few samples of 2-color Welcome Wreath quits and liked them!  So I ...

Road Trip.... Paducah or Bust from Humble Quilts

First stop, Nashville!
We got in last so had a good night rest before exploring. 
We opted for the hop-on, hop-off bus. 

So interesting to see this in Nashville!
The Parthenon in Centennial Park, Nashville, Tennessee, United States, is a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens, Greece. It was designed by architect William Crawford Smith and built in 1897 as part of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition.





Cumberland River. (Now I want a selvage that says Cumberland!)

The Pickers Nashville antique store.

Marathon Auto Works is a large cool building that houses many little shops and antique displays.

Cherish - Alternate Version from A Little Bit Biased

 Hello, hello!  2 posts in 2 days!  What's up with me?!?
Well, you may remember I posted about my new Cherish quilt pattern back in February.


Well, I made another version of that pattern that I want to share with you!
Since I know applique is not for everyone, I wanted to make a version of this pattern that doesn't have the appliqued scalloped border.  When I was making the original and writing the pattern, I knew it could be cute either way.  I always want to encourage you to think "outside of the box" and make each ...

Growing Pains from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

 Hello Everyone,

I recently realized that I hadn't posted my Autumn Thyme table topper in my Etsy shop.  


The topper is a combination of cotton and wool applique. 


I LOVE the slow process of applique and I love combining cotton and wool together.

It's so relaxing to add more detail to each of the elements in the table topper.


I'm using my Hearthstone fabric line in this pattern along with Lanacot wool and Lanacot Textures by Marcus Fabrics.




The table runner measures 10" x 38".  I loved having it on display last Autumn on my table.   It ...

Newsy Monday from Humble Quilts

Good morning!
I'm not sure if/when I mentioned it but I recently helped a daughter clean out some of her mother's quilt room. I was hoping the investment would help fund my next mission trip. 
I've committed to going to Uganda this June! I haven't formally been approved but am planning on it for now. Thank you all for the support you've shown me over the last several years! 

So, book sales, photography (not my strong point) passport renewal, Etsy shop has been my focus the past several days.

Cherish - A Gigi's Thimble Quilt Pattern from A Little Bit Biased

Hello friends!  Today I want to introduce to you my new quilt pattern, Cherish.
It's a scrap-friendly pattern that features lots of patchwork hearts and a scalloped border.
There are 3 size options included: lap, throw, and full.


This was my original fabric pull - all from my stash.


The pattern is perfect for using your stash, scraps, or precuts.  
I love simple patchwork; these hearts are so fun to make.


 I would describe the skill level for this pattern as advanced beginner/intermediate.
The hearts are rather simple and surprisingly, the appliqued border is too.


The scallop is a ...

No, this isn't the first time, but I still feel giddy every time I see my name in print, even if it is digital. 

Kashvi was published in Make Modern #55


Kashvi, 60" by 80"

She is simple, layer-cake friendly, and suitable for beginners and advanced quilters alike. I used the Buds and Blooms Garden collection to make Olivia.

New Quilt Pattern - Merry Pinwheels from A Little Bit Biased

 Hi friends!
I'd like to introduce you to my new pattern,
Merry Pinwheels!


I wanted to design a 2-1/2" strip-friendly pattern
and thought these pinwheels were really fun!


Merry Pinwheels would be cute in any colorway.  
But I used this darling Rolie Polie from Riley Blake Designs called

It's full of vintagy Christmas goodness!


And bonus, the selvages are so cute!


I believe the skill level for Merry Pinwheels is "confident beginner".

Back on Etsy from Quilt in Progress

It seems there is no booth available for me at the flea market, at least not for a while. I decided to list what I have made on Etsy. I reopened my shop, Quiltinprogress, just like the blog. So far I have only listed some of the zip pouches, but more pouches and more items will be coming soon.

I have plans to make zipper pulls with beads and charms, coasters and coaster sets, and even tote bags. I will have them priced with free first-class shipping, with the option to pay for Priority to receive your goods faster.

Avantika from Sew Preeti Quilts

I first made Avantika for the Island Batik catalogue. The working title was Mosaic Stars but once the quilt was completed, it needed a better name. Avantika means princess :-)


Avantika, the original princess :-)



Sunset Backing and Binding


Made using Island Batik Juicy Mosaics fabric collection, Avantika finished at about 64" by 84". 
Juicy Mosaics is a beautiful collection and I love every fabric in it. 




Of course, we took her out for a photoshoot, thanks to Paul!

My Little Swap Quilt from Humble Quilts

My little swap quilt has arrived and been seen by Trish. My quilt went all the way to Buenos Aires, Argentina! 

It is simple and a little on the primitive side!

Love that print for the backing. 


 

This was the vintage quilt I was inspired by!

The last quilt to arrive went from Australia to Utah, back to Australia and then back to Utah! No fault of the sender! Post office error!! Aargh!

Jan Horn, as soon as you can get a photo of the quilt Susan sent you I'll post it and we can see ALL the quilts ...
