A Fun Gift and Project

While we were travelling in the spring I was able to visit Hancocks of Paducah where I treated myself to a fat quarter bundle of Tula Pink prints…I didn’t have a plan for the fabric I just liked them.

A few weeks after returning home I decided to treat myself to a new Oliso project iron, I chose the Tula Pink one because it looks so happy! This was definitely not a need purchase just a I really want purchase 🥰

For a year or so I have been watching and admiring Minki Kim’s YouTube tutorials and her patterns and when she came out with her pouch pattern for the iron I knew I wanted to make it!

This was such a fun project!

I really enjoy this new iron, I have the previous model, this new one is a vast improvement in many ways.

Suzanne’s Nebula Quilt

The Nebula Quilt designed by Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts with fabric designed by Tula Pink is a glorious party of Colour!

Suzanne chose a soft flannel backing and Wool for her batting. A good quality wool batting from companies like Hobbs and Quilters Dream are wonderful to work with and add more loft to a quilt.

Wool is warm in the winter without added weight and also cooler in the summer. It does require a little more care when washing and I personally would not ever put a quilt with wool in the dryer. I actually hang all quilts to dry but that is a personal preference.

After looking through several options for a quilting design Suzanne chose Belly Bop, it is a fun and medium dense design that plays so nicely over these modern prints.

The super soft flannel backing has such a soft flowing design and really showcases the quilting.

The quilt was trimmed and ready for binding when it was picked up.

Let me work with you to bring your quilting projects to completion!
