Pink Penguin Paper Piecing

#patchwork progress #sewing #paperpiecing #pinkpenguin #popsicle
I decided to do a little Pink Penguin paper piecing for my FLQS partner. These are such fun blocks to make.

hello there! #sewing #patchwork #paperpiecing #pinkpenguin
I really love this indigo coloured block.

I'm adding some machine embroidered wording to the small quilt as well.

This is where I looked at the book sample and tried to imagine where I needed to go! I think adding the chambray border was a good pick! Follow the fun on instagram!

Pillow Cover finished!

finished #pillow #sewing #patchwork
I decided to make a quick gift for my parents in law's 50th wedding anniversary. Just about the only things they decorate with are small pillows in their minimalist style home. So I thought I'd make something they could use. Here is a look at the process:

The cover is fully removable with a zipper and can be washed separately from the pillow. It is also quilted with warm n natural so it stands nicely on its own.

A Star Quilt for Isla

Star Quilt for Isla
My mom pieced the top of this quilt for my little Isla. That was before she was born. She just turned 18 months so I thought it was time to finish it!

I chose a banana print from 5 Funky Monkeys to as backing. I really love the playfulness of it and it suits her well.

My mom always makes star quilts for those she loves, this is a beautiful one!

Garden Geometry Quilt Finished!

I finished my Garden Geometry quilt! This was a free paper piecing pattern from 100 Billion Stars. Instead of finishing it as a mini quilt, I made it into a larger one. I really love the effect!
