Vintage Spool Pattern

  Hello!
Today I'm sharing my new pattern - Vintage Spools.
It is a fun pattern and is made with squares and rectangle, no templates needed!

Each Spool is 3" finished or combine 4 spools and you have a cute 6" block.


I had fun finding the perfect fabrics to fussy cut for the thread portion!

Spring Mini Quilt in Quilts and More

Hi and Happy Wednesday!
I hope you are having a good week so far.

I have been working on a project for months that I can finally share.
Quilts and More has asked me to design four seasonal themed mini quilts!  
The first "Festive Foundations" quilt is Spring themed and includes three fun blocks.

 The blocks include the tulip, butterfly and bird house and are all foundation paper pieced.
The individual blocks would also be perfect to use on individual projects such as a tote bag or pillow.


This project uses fabrics from my stash with some fun fussy cutting opportunities.
If you haven't paper pieced before, check out his video from Joanna at Quilts and More as she takes you through the process.  



She also shares my method of Fussy Cutting so you can perfectly isolate a motif as I did for the cherry center on the tulip.
