Vintage Printemp Crib Quilt---Just listed on Etsy

Remember these adorable Printemp by 3sisters fabric squares?? Well I finally got around actually making them into a quilt!

I used a disappearing nine patch pattern and I love how it turned out with all the pinks, yellows, blues and creams.

It is currently available on my etsy shop here

Oh and lastly can I just gush over this pink birdy binding!!! Heavenly

Quilt hunting at Fort Steele

Tumbler Quilt!

We dont have many people in our family having babies, so when my husbands cousin in Germany was having a baby girl I jumped at a chance to try a crib sized Tumbler Quilt. I wanted it to be scrappy and bright coloured, so I pulled out my bin of scraps along with an adorable fairytale green fabric.

(Now im clearly busted for not ironing before cutting--but in my defence I have a crappy iron, but I will iron first once I get my new Iron Saturday) 

After using my handy-dandy tumbler die(from accuquilt), in no time at all I was swimming in tumblers :)

I was amazed at how quickly it came together and how easy it was to sew!

Plus this was my first opportunity to use my black/white stripped fabric for binding! I love how it turned out. 

I cant wait to ship this off to Katherina in Germany :) 

Now off to work on my downton abbey tumbler lap quilt!!! 

Discovering my style-out with the old, in with the new

So this weekend I am having a garage sale and get rid of all the fabrics that Im not totally in love with!! Which only means one thing....... I need to re-build my stash :)

This is the first mini batch of my re-building stash shopping spree! With the money I made from selling a quilt on my etsy shop and the garage sale $$ I am going to go to our local quilt store and buy fabrics that melt my heart. I am shifting from wanting a big fabric stash to having the perfect fabric stash that screams my name!! Finding ones style in quilting is a challenge, but step 1 is finding the right fabric. Im 'sew' excited to show you what I get soon!! And even more excited to have my sewing studio done in the near future ❤️

Stay tuned for part 2.... ;)
