Introducing - Aurora Sails Quilt Pattern from Baby Boomer Quilting Bee


*New Pattern Release*
Size:  70" X 94" 
Designer/Maker:  L' Fair Quilts


It started with this quirky little sail block, then I added color upon color and compatible shapes.  The Aurora Sails Quilt Pattern , published by Black Cat Creations, is now my new favorite to make.  Sometimes a pattern comes along that is just plain hard to get through ... you love the quilt, just not fond of the process.  I LOVED the process.  There is enough variety not to become bored and comes together with ease. 

The Cover Quilt uses a Moda Fabric line, Ombre Metallic Confetti by Vanessa Christenson ...

Fat Quarter Shop Sewcialites 2 from Baby Boomer Quilting Bee


I brought out the BIG guns to flatten this little block - my tailor's clapper was just not going to work.  After steam pressing, I laid a few books on top and weighted them down with a heavy vintage iron.  

Now caught up, I was able to take my time with Block #5, called the "Empower" Block designed by Carrie Nelson, the artist behind Miss Rosie's Quilt Patterns.   The Fat Quarter Shop is hosting the Sewcialites Quilt Along with the help of several designers.  

I am making the 6" block versions, using the Nova Collection, by  Basic Grey, Moda ...

New Pattern - In Motion Quilt from Baby Boomer Quilting Bee


Introducing --- In Motion

I often talk about favorite blocks or vintage designs incorporated in my patterns.  The Irish Chain is one of those favorites, however I wanted something different using a wide variety of fabrics and/or scraps.  

The Motion in this design moves from right to left and uses large background pieces making the movement obvious.

Far Out! ... The Fat Quarter Shop * announced they were expecting a fabric line designed by Maureen McCormick!  My excitement to make this quilt using the Blooming Bunch Fabric Line by Maureen for Moda, was off the chart.  I grew up watching the Brady ...

New Ironing Station Cover from Podunk Pretties

 It's time to recover the ironing station in my studio.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with the cover other than I'm tired of looking at it. Over the last year or so I would occasionally lay another piece of fabric over it but would not staple it in place. 

Since it's still in good shape and only needs to be washed to remove the starch I decided to carefully remove the staples.


And then this happened at about staple #10.


Plan B...rip the darn thing off the board, if it survives I'll wash it.  If ...
