What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 Oh my goodness!I have had a lot of tops finished lately.That means I needed to send them to my quilter(s).When I was home I got a couple of them bound so thought I would share.First up is a pattern test I did for Meags and Me called Goldilocks.This quilt is so sweet  I used the Three Bears fabric by Stacy Hsu for the pattern,The bears and goldilocks are all machine embroidered/

I did all of the applique using fusible.I straight stitched around them.Then I added all the hand work. Satin stitch is not my favorite but I did all these flowers so got MUCH better as I went along.I'm pretty sure this mouse is my favorite!Look at him carrying the cheese!!!I LOVED making this pattern.It is called Field Mice and is by Meags and Me.You may need to make one too!!!~XOP~

I had time to work on some of my WIPs while we were waiting for Theo to arrive.I had cut this out when I was in in Kansas at retreat in August.It was quite complex but I LOVE it!!I am Swedish so the Dala horse is a favorite of mine.Just in case you were curious about my sewing space in the camper, this is it.The cats take turns "helping"  me.Some are more "helpful" than others, LOLI bought this

I *finally* finished all the hand stitching on my Blue Lagoon quilt top.I just had gotten out of the habit of doing handwork but decided to pick it up and start working on it.Do you ever just put something away and forget about it?I made a small box for handwork projects and will bring that in the camper.It is relaxing for me to do this at night instead of just playing on my phone.Wish me luck

I tested a pattern for Meags and Me called Lil Nugget.It is hedgehogs and pinwheels.The hedgies are machine embroidered and oh so adorable.I used the Summersault fabric line by Erin McMorris.It is an older line but so bright and cheery.I decided that I was going to try and use up stash fabrics for some of these test quilts.I did not have enough of any one Minky so I put these 2 together.I loved

Everyone knows this saying.  Meags and Me are at it again and have the most adorable patterns to go with this line of fabric!  I had the pleasure of testing the machine embroidery for one of their patterns.  Patterns for this line will be available in November.  I only had time to make one of each, but look forward to making more once we get back home.  I don't want to lug my BIG machine and

I finished all the hand work on this quilt last year.  There is an EXTENSIVE amount of hand embroidery on this quilt.  I sent it to my LAQ and she put flowers and ladybugs on it.  Perfect!  I finally managed to get it bound.  I just love it!  It was a pattern test for Meags and Me.  The pattern is now available for purchase.She is my favorite part of the entire quilt.  I can see using this color

I had the opportunity to test another pattern for Meags and Me.  The soon to be released pattern is called Heart Mania.  I chose pinks and golds for the color pallette.  It was a super easy pattern to work with.  I got everything all cut out and then worked on fusing the hearts.  I stitched around the hearts and traced the stitching lines for the hand stitched hearts.  Then I put it all
