Tabletastic Layer Cake Table Runner Finish

2 Comments

I’m thrilled to share my latest finish—a table runner that holds a special place in my heart! This time, I used a pattern from the fantastic book Tabletastic .  If you haven’t checked out this series, you’re in for a treat! This is the first installment in the Tabletastic series, which is on their third series already.  They’re all  absolutely packed with gorgeous table runner and topper patterns for every occasion. What I love most about these books is the attention to detail—they’re brimming with illustrative, easy-to-follow instructions that make piecing and quilting a joy, no matter your skill level.

What’s even better? Tabletastic Books are available as a PDF, making it super convenient if you love having your quilting patterns on your tablet or computer. Whether you prefer flipping through a physical book or zooming in on diagrams digitally, this series has you covered. I can’t recommend it enough—it’s the perfect resource for anyone who loves table runners and toppers or needs a quick yet satisfying project.

Another William Morris Layer Cake Table Runner

For this project, I used the same layer cake I used for the previous table runner I made late last year which I posted HERE>. The layer cake is from one of William Morris collections. I picked the specifically in dark, moody hues that I adore for this project and matched it with a beige tone on tone background. There’s something so captivating about William Morris designs—the intricate patterns and timeless elegance always leave me in awe. The table runner top actually was completed at the same time with the  wintery table runner I made last year. Can you believe it took me an entire year to finally finished the project?  Time has flown by so quickly!

Quilting with Minky: Challenges, Tips, and the Softest Finish

1 Comment

If you’re like me, you’re always on the lookout for something new to try in quilting. That’s exactly what led me to minky fabric for backing my latest quilt project. I had just finished a cute baby quilt and decided it was the perfect opportunity to be brave and see how minky would handle as a backing. It was a small enough quilt that I figured, “How hard can it be?” Well, spoiler alert: quilting with minky is a bit more challenging than traditional cotton backing—but oh, the results!

How to make your own quilt kits with your stash fabrics

1 Comment

I just have to share my latest quilting plans with you—I’m so excited I can hardly wait to get started! You know that feeling when you have so many amazing projects in mind but not nearly enough time to make them all? That’s me right now. I’m bursting with ideas, and I wish I could clone myself just to stitch everything faster! And I’m making quilting kits for  these projects as I’m sharing this with you. 

Kitting Up Fabrics for a Quilt

Kitting up fabric for a quilt is one of the most satisfying steps in the quilting process. It involves gathering and organizing all the materials you need, so when you’re ready to start sewing your quilt top, everything is prepped and at your fingertips. Whether you’re working with fabric pieces from yardage, fat quarters, or scraps, a well-prepared kit ensures a smoother and more enjoyable quilting experience.

Why Kit Up Fabric?

Kitting up fabric offers several benefits:

  • Organization: By gathering and labeling everything ahead of time, you can keep your project neatly organized and avoid hunting for fabrics mid-project.
  • Efficiency: Having everything ready allows you to dive right into sewing without worrying if you have enough fabric.
  • Inspiration: Seeing all your fabrics arranged together can spark new design ideas or confirm your fabric choices.

Quilted Table Runner : Green Fields Magic Carpet

7 Comments

I finished a fun project today—a new table runner! A few months ago, I mentioned this quilted table runner in my newsletter, along with another with a slightly different block layout. However, I hadn’t quilted it at that time. My goal was to create something with minimal colors to match my home decor. I love working with colors, but I also enjoy when a project blends perfectly with the home.

Custom Quilting Tulips Bobbin Bloom Quilt

6 Comments

I’m so excited to share the finished Bobbin Blooms quilt with you! This project has been a true journey from start to finish, filled with creative decisions, unexpected challenges, and plenty of joy along the way. I decided to custom quilt this piece, and while custom quilting it certainly took more time, I believe it was worth every extra moment.

The process of piecing this quilt was really enjoyable. The Bobbin Blooms pattern is well-designed, and I found it easy to follow. It’s Sew Emma’s pattern is always on point! I love their detailed, fully illustrated pattern.  I posted all about that and the walk-through video of me piecing this quilt in previous post HERE>

Paper Piecing Flying Geese Units | Halloween Memories Quilt Along

No Comments

Have you ever tried paper piecing flying geese unit? While there are many ways to make flying geese units, Ive never tried paper piecing it. I’ve tried a couple of different ways, but what usually hampers me is the need to find the correct size to cut and also make it so that I am able to trim it a little as I find it hard to not get a wonky blocks once I’m done sewing. So, I like patterns that allow  me to trim the final unit. 

But for this particular project, I decided to make the flying geese units using the paper pads from Fat Quarter Shop and I have to say I am loving it!

Custom Quilting with Domestic Machine

No Comments

Here’s a progress post on my Bobbin Bloom quilt where I’m custom quilting it with some feathers and some grid diamond in the sashing. I had the idea to custom quilt this thinking it would be pretty quick as it is such a small quilt. 

However, I’m a little slow on this since I have a little more on my plate with demanding daily kids’ activities too. I have a couple of quilting projects that are calling me too and I guess free motion quilting will take longer days these days. But progress is always progress and it’s a blessing to get some time in the sewing room to simply have fun and quilt. 

This quilt is a pattern from one fo the Sew Sampler Box a while back and I recorded the process of makign the quilt before HERE> It is always exciting to sew projects from these boxes and to use them up. I have a stack of them ready for me to just dive in, so it’s always a great feeling when I accomplish to get the projects done.
