Spring In Ambleside Quilt

Hi there! I am really excited to share this new quilt with you guys today!! 

Last Quilt Market, we were introduced to this lovely new line of fabric called Ambleside by Brenda Riddle for Moda .  I fell in love immediately! It was so lovely, delicate, and soft.  I knew I had to design a quilt for this fabric! 

Here it is! 

Spring In Ambleside

Quilt is 64" x 64" - Click HERE to pre-order KIT - sold out

I am pretty darn smitten with how this turned out! My awesome mom pieced and quilted this quilt.  She did such a great job!  It is so beautiful in person, and the design translated so well into the quilt! I am so happy with how it turned out. 

She quilted this on her domestic machine, and kept the quilting very simple with straight line quilting.  I love the simpleness of it, because it makes the fabric stand out and all the lovely prints just pop! 

Of course, we decided a scrappy binding would be the best for this quilt.  It just ties in all the lovely scrappiness of the entire quilt!

Mystery Project 3 {Orange Peel Mug Rug}

Hi there! I hope you are enjoying your weekend! Today I am back to share my final March Mystery Project! :)  Oh and guess what?  We have April's Mystery Project Bundle listed in the shop! Go here for details!  

For the last project, I decided to make a fun Orange Peel Mug Rug! I have always loved orange peel quilts.  They are so beautiful, and it is one quilt that is on my quilt bucket list! Right now, I don't have the time to dive into an Orange Peel quilt (one day I will, I hope!), so I thought I would make a small mug rug instead for some instant Orange Peel gratification! ;)

I love how it turned out! It's so delicate, and simple.  I quilted it rather simply, by just going around the petals, and then doing a small border a 1/4" from the blue border. I don't really use my mug rugs for their real purpose (mostly), but rather I place them here and there in my house, where I need a little color and fun! 

This mug rug's home will be in a windowpane above my entry table, along with my Fresh Cut Flowers runner, and a simple Fresh Cut banner.  

The great thing about this simple project is that it was done in less than an hour.  I love projects like that. So simple and so gratifying. 

Alright, grab the rest of your bundle and let's get started!

Spring Throw Pillows

Do you ever have those days where you really want to sew, but you only have a few minutes to spare?  Well, that's pretty much how my life is! :) I have three small kiddos running around, so my sewing time during the week is pretty much non-existent.  So on days that I really need my sewing fix, I love to make pillow covers. 

They are are quick, easy, and they always add a fun accent to any room in the house! I have quite the collection of pillow covers, and I just take them off and switch them out to the new season or holiday for that month.  

So yesterday, my husband surprised me and got off work about an hour early, and so I had exactly a 1/2 hour to sew, before my oldest had to go to dance.  I ran to my sewing room, got out this fabric I've been hoarding for a while now, and decided that I needed some Spring pillows! I whipped these up in  less than 30 minutes, and ran upstairs and photographed them before I ran out of light and then took my daughter to dance! How's that for some speedy sewing! 

I adore this fabric from AdornIt! It's so cute, and it just has a spring vibe going on that I love!  I will tuck these into my special pillow spot where I can sit and stare at them! :)

This runner is so bright and cheery.  I love the fun floral designs in this fabric, and these flowers really show off those lovely floral prints.  This is a simple pattern, and it took me no time at all to whip up this lovely bunch of flowers! :)
