“Get back in your sewing room” quilt project

scarlettburroughs — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:15:29 +0000

Sarah from The Cutting Table Quilt blog made this quilt from a charm pack, making it come together super fast. She says using precut fabrics is a great way to get back to sewing if you find yourself in a slump. I give her an A+ for her choice of colors and the scalloped border. Go here to learn how she made a perfect wavy edge.

Gift idea: Wooden paper piecing iron

scarlettburroughs — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:48:29 +0000

I found these handmade beauties at Digi Tech Designs online store. Wouldn’t one of these be a unique and thoughtful gift? I know I want one. They are on sale for 5.25 USD a piece thru Nov 3rd. Regular price 6.99. Link to wooden iron.

Product description:

The wooden iron, this one in cherry, is used for paper piecing and general all around quilt piecing. The pointed end aids in the turning out of corners and the flat end , firmly pressed down, creases the seam for you without having to get up for the hot iron all the time. Wood types oak, cherry, walnut, and tiger maple. – extremely useful!!

Over the Fourth of July weekend, my big sis Robin spied this cute button at her local Farmer’s Market. She snatched it right up and gave it to me. I’ve worn it every day since. On the back I found the seller, Hot Buttons Etsy.

Clover has come up with yet another clever tool. How did we make do without their Yo-yo Makers? Like the Yo-yo Maker, serious quilters and sewers will likely want one of these bobbin stackers to keep drawers organized. It’s endorsed by Nancy Zieman, of Sewing with Nancy of Public Broadcasting fame. Go here to see more photos.

Inspiration: Soft-map quilts

What a great idea Haptic Lab had making these eco-friendly customized maps of neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

Product description:

Soft-Maps are handmade quilted maps of Brooklyn neighborhoods and parks that represent your unique place in the city. These heirlooms are meant to be used: wrap your children in them, have a picnic, pull them close during the next Nor’easter. Not only beautiful, these blankets can be used as a mnemonic tool. As your child grows up with a Soft Map, they learn to read their neighborhood and its landmarks in a tactile, easily remembered way.
