Wildwood Dwelling Hexagon Quilt

 

Hi!  I had the pleasure of working with the new line of fabric from Poppie Cotton - "Wildwood Dwelling" designed by @sheri.mcculley 

The line features the most adorable woodland creatures print as well as beautiful florals in a muted palette of turquoise, pink, salmon and yellow.

When searching for just the right project, I remembered taking a workshop from Sew Katie Did to make a hexagon quilt pieced by machine.

I thought a hexagon quilt would be the perfect project for showcasing all the adorable prints.

Red Pepper Quilts has a great tutorial on how to sew hexagons by machine  which you can find HERE

I purchased a hexagon template from Stated Woods Supply on Etsy.  I chose the 6" size but they have many sizes available depending on your desired design.

You can find the ruler HERE

I opted for a Grandmother's Flower Garden design and used gingham for the center of the flowers.

I chose a layout that positions the flowers next to each other.

This layout is a more traditional Flower Garden quilt - but the possibilities are endless!

I hope you choose to make a project with Wildwood Dwelling!

Happy Sewing!

Ruffle Pillows with Americana Fabric

  Hi!  Today I am sharing the latest projects I made with the new line of fabric “Americana” designed by Lori Holt.

Americana is a patriotic themed fabric in red, pink, yellow and blue with a nod to vintage feedsack style prints including florals and geometrics.

I designed a new quilting block – Florette – which uses both curved piecing and appliqué. The Florette Block is 12″ square.

I thought the Florette Block would be a perfect as a center piece for a sweet ruffle pillow. The finished size of the pillow is 16″ but can be customized to the size you need.

My Florette Pillow needed a friend, so I made a simple patchwork pillow using my favorite color combo of pink and yellow, and I love how Springy it looks!

You can find a tutorial for making a ruffle pillow Here at Polka Dot Chair.

I hope you choose to make a project with Americana Fabric!

Mini Hexagon Purse in Berry Market Fabric

 

I had the pleasure of making a few cute purses with the new line of fabric  - Berry Market from Bev at Flamingo Toes.

The Springy fabric includes everything strawberry – from cute strawberry prints and florals to the most adorable bicycle print. This line was screaming for a fussy cut project so I merged my love of hexagons and cute bags : )

I designed a smaller version of my Hexagon Purse and added a zipper closure and self fabric handles. Introducing the Mini Hexagon Purse. It measures 7 1/2″ in diameter so it is a handy little purse to hold your essentials.  Get the pattern at the link below!

The back of the purse has a fun curved outside pocket perfect for holding your phone. The pocket is trimmed with bias gingham.

                 

I can’t resist a fun zipper pull so I added a cute strawberry themed pull on each. These were a free gift with purchase from Sunny Day Supply.

I hope you choose to make a project with Berry Market!

Happy Sewing!
