Bursting with the whimsy of strawberries, sunshine, ladybugs, hummingbirds, and playing cards, this collection swept me away with its charm. Enveloped in a soft, dreamy palette of blues, greens, yellows, and pinks, each fabric exuded its own story.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4YvJ7y6hhk1j9TapSIY8DLn-h_iAgwCFgN3saDK5K-hv5qTiOhKTKFeDjwyjBduvA6nL08teAdG1V9BzWOhWG1SAUjCpDjflcvqDtAumOhCdtITqbxbGD1FxK9oS5cthUHoMMUpBZ_DLNEjg6oG4TAkiuaLb2-MAN3oXD0wXv1QsTRypP__ih8TWDKbM/s7952/DSC09159.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5304" data-original-width="7952" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4YvJ7y6hhk1j9TapSIY8DLn-h_iAgwCFgN3saDK5K-hv5qTiOhKTKFeDjwyjBduvA6nL08teAdG1V9BzWOhWG1SAUjCpDjflcvqDtAumOhCdtITqbxbGD1FxK9oS5cthUHoMMUpBZ_DLNEjg6oG4TAkiuaLb2-MAN3oXD0wXv1QsTRypP__ih8TWDKbM/s320/DSC09159.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Maureen graciously sent me a delightful assortment of fat quarters, featuring twelve enchanting designs from the collection. Knowing that I had a limited quantity of fabric to work with, I immediately envisioned a scrappy design to maximize every precious inch. Despite juggling a hectic work schedule, I craved a project that was both swift and satisfying. My heart yearned for simplicity, coupled with the versatility of utilizing white precuts as a backdrop.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOZ6WyPT6g6T3Nd43Su45JypTWxz4uuY0h0Hn3E_pEHGsPj9om-FK7Qm2nbYRDDoX3_kHMWgAnMdB46VWIDEnqY69kZ4M3ycH-1f8JPfvuckm68gszKckGeeG6DLUhAnJzu0ttRwfPFH0JBlZlMKyYg1vxAqcnsKfwCNUurRKlSp1ekTaOmE3R__9JokQ/s7952/DSC09163.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5304" data-original-width="7952" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOZ6WyPT6g6T3Nd43Su45JypTWxz4uuY0h0Hn3E_pEHGsPj9om-FK7Qm2nbYRDDoX3_kHMWgAnMdB46VWIDEnqY69kZ4M3ycH-1f8JPfvuckm68gszKckGeeG6DLUhAnJzu0ttRwfPFH0JBlZlMKyYg1vxAqcnsKfwCNUurRKlSp1ekTaOmE3R__9JokQ/s320/DSC09163.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Delving into the realm of inspiration online, I stumbled upon the Crossroads design, a design that instantly resonated with me. This timeless quilt pattern intertwines 16-patch blocks with captivating X or Cross blocks, offering a canvas ripe for creative exploration. Armed with 5-inch precuts for my background fabric, I meticulously sliced my fat quarters into slender 2.75" strips, ensuring that each precious piece would find its place in the quilt.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYFut0U7vS_FOWIGVuFT2sCp8iN15wtBqFlBDAvNcyKozDdVHuknSr0Q_C7moDCpjbBXuzkSbJuO0-Du0BvgiR7nqE-EIQn61J0qkRiFyNsJRZOzElDz2b36zX937UYiSUfTDNirs7hZxYrnDrHmb8o6Owad7nQl067xLfs80qY3CiCZC-9dxzZpkiHG4/s7952/DSC09168.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5304" data-original-width="7952" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYFut0U7vS_FOWIGVuFT2sCp8iN15wtBqFlBDAvNcyKozDdVHuknSr0Q_C7moDCpjbBXuzkSbJuO0-Du0BvgiR7nqE-EIQn61J0qkRiFyNsJRZOzElDz2b36zX937UYiSUfTDNirs7hZxYrnDrHmb8o6Owad7nQl067xLfs80qY3CiCZC-9dxzZpkiHG4/s320/DSC09168.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Driven by the desire to maximize every last inch of fabric, I painstakingly pieced together my quilt, weaving a symphony of colors and patterns into a harmonious whole. With determination as my guide, I endeavored to expand the dimensions of my creation, pushing the boundaries of possibility with each carefully calculated stitch. In the end, my quilt unfurled to a magnificent 57" by 57", a testament to the power of ingenuity and resourcefulness.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz6Fn1I8w5OuI06jhlVydlB_ICvMKEpZZXst6WyBb_kNanoezINQF9R40ZHgA0ZG3NGUu27KOAZx-aZ0PusyV3IzcNazX5TAcF3puOSFJb1zb6y1AJ9Xh0Pv2cYFsqi-6eIGDoP7f0h55AXQA-RGhHuUH8ufCuVG1vQbBS6C3U24XGwSe4BXJgttQdZEs/s7952/DSC09170.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5304" data-original-width="7952" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz6Fn1I8w5OuI06jhlVydlB_ICvMKEpZZXst6WyBb_kNanoezINQF9R40ZHgA0ZG3NGUu27KOAZx-aZ0PusyV3IzcNazX5TAcF3puOSFJb1zb6y1AJ9Xh0Pv2cYFsqi-6eIGDoP7f0h55AXQA-RGhHuUH8ufCuVG1vQbBS6C3U24XGwSe4BXJgttQdZEs/s320/DSC09170.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As I embarked on the quilting journey, my trusty longarm machine became my faithful companion.

The seams on this quilt ended up being very bulky (the flannel back and batting did not help). My longarm would not go over them easily - I checked this before quilting. To combat the thickness, I decided to use the "<a href="https://www.mycreativestitches.net/a-wave-in-the-sand-edge-to-edge/" target="_blank">A Wave in the Sand</a>" pantograph from <a href="https://www.mycreativestitches.net/" target="_blank">My Creative Stitches</a>. This pantograph come in 3 widths and I selected the shortest width, then upscaled it on my Ruby Butler to make the lines farther apart. This worked out great and my quilt has such a great texture from the quilting. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBUcSfLZYDS4NJ-ZQWtQ7SZ8mbyN0d1nC2hHLRDaDJXTvRUL633RoDOjnrWSZtnkTskhHPtroQRsPHF8Dbicz1_F30s_Q5nVbVfR6qfKUJygsRpWCywDL8if9KxW41Eb_Em9DUCq-oSzBYrKpk9wkRHecCSt5TPaQpHWEO0wDt8hfg-95aKWBQGgKeCRE/s2534/DSC08959.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2227" data-original-width="2534" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBUcSfLZYDS4NJ-ZQWtQ7SZ8mbyN0d1nC2hHLRDaDJXTvRUL633RoDOjnrWSZtnkTskhHPtroQRsPHF8Dbicz1_F30s_Q5nVbVfR6qfKUJygsRpWCywDL8if9KxW41Eb_Em9DUCq-oSzBYrKpk9wkRHecCSt5TPaQpHWEO0wDt8hfg-95aKWBQGgKeCRE/s320/DSC08959.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This quilt is probably the snuggliest and coziest quilt I have ever made.

<div>I ended 2023 making the <a href="https://the-weekendquilter.com/collections/quilt-patterns/products/new-year-blessings-mini-quilt-pattern" target="_blank">New Year Blessings Mini Quilt</a> by <a href="https://the-weekendquilter.com/" target="_blank">The Weekend Quilter</a>. The mini quilt shows the symbol for the Chinese word Fu. This is the most popular and auspicious word used during the Lunar New Year celebration. It means happiness, blessing, and good fortune. I think we could use that this year.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEBaspnf6Hi4TkiSOP1uNbQ5z6fgrwkkUaOWrBvIuJFtUGVxXXbybmJ_FdfhTGlTPYK5KYdy6Q0De8P8Ra0QLuA6gVS941AgaLbBJqkMmG6JVxhxsvSPkWUev-9yZBbaypHc7SHILP5LfQL3u4sZQsXOt8zFZ_ks4hXThl6jIbwraWGx0klbedsAZrRYk/s1440/IMG_20240101_092410_413.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEBaspnf6Hi4TkiSOP1uNbQ5z6fgrwkkUaOWrBvIuJFtUGVxXXbybmJ_FdfhTGlTPYK5KYdy6Q0De8P8Ra0QLuA6gVS941AgaLbBJqkMmG6JVxhxsvSPkWUev-9yZBbaypHc7SHILP5LfQL3u4sZQsXOt8zFZ_ks4hXThl6jIbwraWGx0klbedsAZrRYk/s320/IMG_20240101_092410_413.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>I knew I wanted to make a wall hanging for my entry way that was bigger than the 20" finished size of the mini quilt.

This was because originally I was going to wake a double sided wall hanging and the other side was going to be my Christmas wall hanging. I ended up finishing my Christmas wall hanging so I could hang it this year and didn't have time to may my Lunar New Year wall hanging then. One element I wanted in one of my fabrics was a depiction of each of the Chinese Zodiac characters. The print I chose is shown below and I selected it for it's simplicity and the bright red on white. <a href="https://www.spoonflower.com/en/fabric/2770049-chinese-zodiac-4-by-susiprint">This is Chinese Zodiac #4 prin</a>t by <a href="https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/susiprint" target="_blank">Susiprint</a>. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi70WErXuBLvWLGtMFDkBRPrjGvImlNTDN73_KY6vs0_WLU25x3w7VHX5JiA6rN2GLIrrNFJldFg6xVKtAL3c6RZ7ptqCtHyZPR2aJ195W28IEjMRgshixeDEtcRdItQDXP4k4W4CIxxViqJLGAK9OdNWeOhzQ-4r26va_qYK_eSqG3Ezu9-hkLWahNxQ0/s3024/20240101_150943.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi70WErXuBLvWLGtMFDkBRPrjGvImlNTDN73_KY6vs0_WLU25x3w7VHX5JiA6rN2GLIrrNFJldFg6xVKtAL3c6RZ7ptqCtHyZPR2aJ195W28IEjMRgshixeDEtcRdItQDXP4k4W4CIxxViqJLGAK9OdNWeOhzQ-4r26va_qYK_eSqG3Ezu9-hkLWahNxQ0/s320/20240101_150943.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>I also wanted prints that showed the celebration of the Lunar New Year and was drawn to designs of lanterns and couldn't resist the red origami paper cranes.

Since I had previously made towels for these stands, I used the current towels for a guide for the width. Toweling shrinks after being washed the first time and I did not prewash my toweling.

I will need to get to work soon on my quilt (hopefully quilts) for Black History Month which is in February.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><br />Here's a sneak peek of my project for FreeSpirit Fabrics. I was sent the Rising Jungle Collection by Catalina Estrada. It is a beautiful collection and I have made the <a href="https://vfwquilts.com/products/new-victory-block-pattern-templates" target="_blank">Victory Block Quilt (Pattern by Victoria Findlay Wolfe)</a>. I was able to get it on my longarm and quilt it this week. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><br /></div><div>I also put binding on three quilts that had been finished for awhile. No photos of them at the moment. I am hoping to make the Victoria Blouse this week and continue working on my Karnak Quilt. I actually have 2 Karnak quilts to make. I misread the directions and cut out twice as many pieces as I needed. So I decided to add in another color to one of them to make it a little different. </div>Sewing Scientisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03567275750262139529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123541951196381360.post-4722681562380336342023-11-22T15:38:00.001-06:002023-11-22T15:38:00.137-06:00Midnight Rendezvous Harmony Quilt

<div><div>I have a faux fur blanket that I bought at a store many years ago. My family loves it and my son regularly steals it from my bed in the winter. When I saw this Minerva Core Range Plush Faux Fur, it reminded me of that blanket and I thought I would try to make my own version. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkaXHLqHCdJfk-tVHquomlxVr-JNVQroDbODHPqpT_G0OmylaWThJqzo4XJ5w1TDNlh_g8kJbZwdguGIaPZuh8tbm4Qqj1jiPaG41QjvF6u5yyN1NjJL_gnJ_QnzCTLf0CTgy5ialdn2VS0eKv-pc-udsu6FRbOO6rEVvG7edrArCodx-jsE6zRur9qwk/s7952/DSC08634.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5304" data-original-width="7952" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkaXHLqHCdJfk-tVHquomlxVr-JNVQroDbODHPqpT_G0OmylaWThJqzo4XJ5w1TDNlh_g8kJbZwdguGIaPZuh8tbm4Qqj1jiPaG41QjvF6u5yyN1NjJL_gnJ_QnzCTLf0CTgy5ialdn2VS0eKv-pc-udsu6FRbOO6rEVvG7edrArCodx-jsE6zRur9qwk/s320/DSC08634.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>This faux fur is very plush and heavy.

The backing I used is a 108" wide brown agate print from Jo-Ann. They call it brown, but it's more of a Plum in my opinion. I then added a layer of cotton batting. I probably could have skipped the batting or used flannel, but I was going for maximum warmth and coziness. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipiTDowzd9np4hxneXcuePVC_VtVNESDEDIXd7zX_WwnTaWibQ7FgSOSMwNzjtERtQf1KH-dXANPQPlhGoGVK8NyaEOhdmn2Ni-co0Y1l1sSz8WnhSRSPHF8bmU0ZLVgLyJ8bQwWfC1iNLU_sdhIAu68lwLGW9av0-XyBrTDcZmj7QLJ9rO01eQnyV8iE/s5295/DSC08639.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5295" data-original-width="5295" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipiTDowzd9np4hxneXcuePVC_VtVNESDEDIXd7zX_WwnTaWibQ7FgSOSMwNzjtERtQf1KH-dXANPQPlhGoGVK8NyaEOhdmn2Ni-co0Y1l1sSz8WnhSRSPHF8bmU0ZLVgLyJ8bQwWfC1iNLU_sdhIAu68lwLGW9av0-XyBrTDcZmj7QLJ9rO01eQnyV8iE/s320/DSC08639.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div>Then I "floated" the fur on top and just had to pick out my quilting pantograph.
