Autumn Apparel Sewing ~ New Project

 After the successful snuggly sleepwear finish, I've decided to sew a skirt for Fall.  I'm making the longest version of this skirt, the one all the way on the right.  

I'm using this pretty floral printed denim that I had on hand.  I think it will make a nice skirt.  It's a lightweight denim.  I don't have a lot of time for apparel sewing.  Can I get this finished before Winter?  Time will tell.

What's Inside the August 2019 Quilty Box?

Disclaimer:  This subscription box was given to me at no cost by Quilty Box.

 The August Quilty Box is here!  Are you ready for Autumn?  This box is filled with beautiful Fall sewing inspiration.  You can almost feel a cool crispness in the air when you open the box.  It's a promise of Fall, my favorite time of the year.

 This month's featured designer is Kirsten Sevig.  I enjoyed reading the interview with her inside Bundles of Inspiration.  She calls herself a "forever child" and gleans inspiration for her designs from her time spent living in Iceland.

 The Sweet Oak fabric collection, by Striped Pear Studio for Windham Fabrics is bursting with fall color and themes!

 Just look at these fabulous colors and prints!  Acorns, colorful leaves, cute little worms and snails! 

I can't wait to cut into these.

 Speaking of cutting, look at this new Olfa Splash cutter in Navy.  It looks sleek in this classic deep blue color.  The Splash cutter features an easy quick change blade - yay!  No more trying to remember which way to screw all those little parts back into place.  

 Two Frixion gel pens are included this month, one red and one blue.  I've never tried these before.  I'll let you know how it goes.

 Wow!  Look at the color of this Wonderfil thread!!!  This vibrant variegated thread is called Tutti.  It's a 50 wt thread.  It will be beautiful for quilting.

Also included is this cute sticker of Striped Pear Studio's logo.  How adorable!  I'll be affixing this to one of my project boxes for a little pop of color.

Star Crossed Part One

Disclaimer:  The products in this post were given to my by Island Batik at no cost to me.

 My Island Batik Ambassador challenge for August is Star Light, Star Bright.  I've been working on it in between getting my three boys back to school.  One to college, one to high school, and the fourth grader is starting on this coming Monday.  I'm excited about the design for Star Crossed.  You can see my design idea, along with some of the new Island Batik fabrics above.

 I was able to cut all of my pieces out with the Accuquilt Go.  So quick, precise, and easy to use.  

I used the 8" qube and a couple of strip dies to cut out my quilt.

 Then I began a lot of chain piecing!  I'm making sets of twelve blocks each in three different colorways, purple, pink, and lavender.

 Here is my design wall showing many of the block units.

 This is one of the finished blocks.  Can you figure out how it is going to become a star?  I'll reveal the whole quilt in a future post.  I've just finished the quilting, so the big reveal should be in the next week or so.  Stay tuned!

Winds of Autumn Quilt Homecoming

 The Winds of Autumn quilt is back home from Love of Quilting.  I'm using it on my bed because it's so cuddly warm.  I just love the soft antique look these fabrics give this quilt.  It's wonderful for the cold rainy November weather we've been experiencing here.

 I take a lot of photos while I'm working on a quilt.  I thought I'd share a few of them in this post.  It's interesting to see what goes into each project.  I like to put the pieces of my blocks up on the design wall and snap photos.  Sometimes this leads to new design ideas for future quilts.

 These simple strips laid out together show some fun pattern and color play ideas.

 In this photo you can see the blocks coming together into on-point rows.  I use the on-point setting in a lot of my quilts.  

 Time to sew the borders.  I cut out all the pieces for my quilts before I begin sewing.  I sort them into zipper sandwich size baggies and label them with the color, size, and piece name or letter.

 Here the Winds of Autumn quilt is coming off the quilting frame.  This is when I check for any loose thread ends and weave them back into the quilt sandwich.

If you wish to sew your own Winds of Autumn quilt, the pattern is available in the October/November 2018 issue of Love of Quilting magazine.  If you make one, please send me a photo.  I would love to see it!
