Have you ever had those big platers at the market for veggies or other foods? This black food plastic plater is great to hold all my applique shapes. It is also great to hold any of your quilt block pieces and it is very easy to cary them around in this. The black also is great to see things well.</div>

I Have a seasonal theme for each of my blocks. It's suttle but the buttons sort of do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spring Summer Fall then Winter. You could problably push this idea further with the colors and fabrics you choose.</div>

Here are the close up of the mini quilt I made using my blocks. I just cut 2.5 in strips and did a sort of log cabin around my block. I measured as I went. I sewed in a round ... starting with the left side of the block then the top then the right side then the bottom cutting the 2.5 in strips and measred the length of the block after I sewed each strip.<br />

Better late than never! Is my new moto. I am finally posting pictures of quilt market spring 2016 Salt Lake City Utah and its now one month later. I am sorry it took so long to post however I needed some time to recover from what was a grueling schedule. I was so nervous going to quilt market since it had been 2 years since my last market and the second time doing a full 10 x 10 booth after my "Safari Moon" Collection. I was now launching a new fabric line with Quilt Jane and with MODA. Very exciting yet we had a lot of work prepping for this show.<br />

The fabrics I choose for my quilt is Liberty of London Fabrics and Regent Street by Sentimental Studios for Moda. I am adding some solids and background of white. The challenge will be in working with the small floral prints that are beautiful but there are not alot of blender fabrics to go with them. </div>

I have always wanted to make this mini quilt from the Moda Bake shop!<br />
From Jen Daly who designed it <a href="http://jendalyquilts.blogspot.com/2015/04/just-keep-swimming.html" target="_blank">here is her blog post</a>:<br />
I love this quilt so much I had to make it for my little boy's room.<br />
I used Moda Zen Chic, collection called "Sphere" I bought the mini charm pack and used navy blue from my stash. I loved the way Jen quilted hers I tried to do the same. I used the decreative curved stitch on my Bernina. This collection of fabric is so cute. And the quilt design is wonderful. I love the way the fishes are pieced.<br />

When I saw this block on instagram I knew I had to join! And I really wanted to see what this block looked like in My Cherie Fabric collection. And Voila! Here it is and my instincts were right! This adorable quilt along is hosted by Fat Quarter shop see <a href="http://fatquartershop.blogspot.com/p/snapshots-quilt-along.html" target="_blank">link here SNAPSHOTS QUILT - ALONG:</a><br />
<br />
This final quilt is so cute and it was designed by Bonnie and Camille, and Kimberly from Fat quarter shop. See final <a href="http://camilleroskelley.typepad.com/simplify/2014/11/snapshots.html" target="_blank">HERE </a><br />
The snapshots quilt patterns are free to download but they ask for a $5 dollar donation.<br />
I think that is an amazing bargain for all these blocks! And it is for a wonderful cause to help<br />
the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.<br />

I found a bag that I loved on pintrest and had to make it. It is called The Ruby bag. There are a lot of bags called Ruby Bag so it was not easy to find. I finally found it on "I Think Sew"website <a href="http://www.ithinksew.com/Products/Details/214" target="_blank">HERE</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they have such cute patterns and also if you sign up you get some fantastic Free patterns. So its worth the signing up.</div>

I loved the sample on the cover but the pattern didnt tell me what size to cut my patchwork. I endedup cutting 5"blocks and then I compensated the top by adding a an extra fabric strip. It tells you to add a strip with the zipper but I cut another one. I guess you could just make the zipper strip larger. I am not very good at math so I did it as I went along adding my 1/4 inch seams. It sounds more complicated than it is. This bag is pretty easy but does take an afternoon.</div>

The turret was made with a granola box and cutting the corners to make the roof. The flag was made from scrapbook paper and a toothpick. The little sign says "God Bless Our Home" I found this at a craft shop and glued it on at the end.<br />

After the box was taped and windows and doors cut out. We painted the house with gesso and black acrylic paint mixed together. Then when it dried we added the shingles. I LOVE THIS FORSTER WOOD SQUARES! They are amazing balsa wood little squares that snap so easily to any size you want. We used elmers glue and a brush and put them on the roof. Once all the shingels were glued and dried we glued popsticle sticks on for the slats on the sides of the house and framed the house with the popsticle sticks. I had to cut the sticks with a sharp tool. Then we repainted the house, and dry brushed it with the white gesso to get the weathered effect.<br />

Supplies. Popsticle sticks from 99 cents store. Toothpics and the Forster Wood squares. You can use anything to decorate the house once you are finished. Make your own trees and even lanscape it.<br />

I was so excited this summer to come across A Stitching Odyssey's blog! If you haven't seen Marie's blog it is an amazing treat! She is an incredible garment sewer. I immediately followed her on blog loving and wrote to her to see if she would be interested in sewing something with my Cherie fabric collection. It is a great advantage to be a fabric designer and be able to write to people and tell them you want to send them free fabrics! But not everyone I write to says yes. Some people have very busy schedules and they turn down free fabric. But to my wonderful surprise Marie said yes!!!!! And I hope to keep a friendship with her. She does very inspiring work as you can see. See full post and her blog here: </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #595959; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Like with most original vintage patterns, I had to make a lot of alterations to get this baby to fit. The bodice was drafted for very different proportions to my own (broad back / shoulders and a side boob), but as usual the waist fit just fine. I'll cover the alterations in a different post, but suffice it to say that I'm pretty happy with the fit I managed to achieve."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="http://www.astitchingodyssey.com/2014/09/simplicity-5489-vintagepledge.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fdyjzLtZy2o/VDV7T_R6q8I/AAAAAAAACk8/Wy0_IhAlXto/s1600/back12.JPG" height="640" width="470" /></a></div>
" <span style="background-color: white; color: #595959; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Onto the back detail...*swoon*! Simplicity 5489 is a relatively quick and easy make, but the bow took me forever! It's by no means perfect, but it's cute enough to be honest. It's one thing tying the perfect ribbon bow on a gift and quite another doing it with bulkier fabric. Next time I'll probably narrow it a tad...and practice tying bows in the meantime of course!"</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #595959; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">My second favourite detail Simplicity 5489 has to offer is the skirt. I love how flattering an A-line shape can be, skimming the hips (aka muffin tops) without the bulky waist of a gathered skirt. This pattern offers the best of both worlds though, with gentle gathers either side of the centre front skirt. I think the reason I find slimmer skirts appealing is that I personally find them easier to dress down to fit in with my less-than-glamorous lifestyle.</span></div>

I am so excited to show you another photo shoot from my friend Jody Miller who is the most incredible phtographer and you can see her photo stream <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jodymiller/" target="_blank">here:</a> My friend Tipper is Modleing. When I got to speak at a quilt guild I met the most lovely lady who loves sewing vintage garments. She had approched me to make a dress using my newest fabric collection Cherie! I was thrilled. NANCY WHITE IS an amazing seamstress and artist. She Made both dresses and you can see her vintage patterns and her beautiful scetches below! The blouse at the bottom is made by me using <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3', 'Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro', メイリオ, Meiryo, 'MS Pゴシック', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">MCALLS 5388</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Cotton breathes, in hot weather it is
the absolute best thing to wear. The closer to the equator, the more an
unlined, loose fitting, breezy cotton is just the ticket! For the wildly
exuberant colors in the Cheri collection a pattern for a pareau from the
Victoria Jones collection .#303 was my first pick. No zipper, no buttons, not
even a hook and eye required. A inside tie is optional, I opted. The fabric
suggestion is for tight woven yardage so that the 1/4 " curved turned
edges do not ravel. The cotton from Frances Newcombe's was easy to work with
and gave me no grief. I wanted this to be a bit more mid-thigh so I did cut the
pattern and added two inches. It folds beautifully flat and is ready for a trip
to Hawaii for a test run!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">The Victoria Jones collection has an on

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"> Also the lining fabric for the
lined dress is my absolute fav, 100% polyester "crinkle habutae" made
in Japan, avail at Joann's in lots of colors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><b>Vintage Simplicity Dress</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"> Never mind that these high
quality cottons were designed for quilters, I got all dreamy for a dress
at first sight! The lettering cursive on yardage drove my inspiration. Romantic
words, up near the neck, where perfume goes, and hidden in pockets for letters.
A vintage pattern seemed right, modern patterns strike me as sexy, functional
or comfy, but not particularly romantic. Simplicity #5914 from the 1960s fit
the bill. I purchased the pattern from <a href="http://www.momspatterns.com/"><span style="color: #103cc0;">www.Momspatterns.com</span></a>, a very fun place to
scope out the not-latest fashion. Sketching of options gave me the confidence
of my design to go get the scissors and start cutting fabric.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"> The pattern was altered by adding
pockets and decorative pocket flaps. I lined the garment as well, so I never
have to find a slip. The pleat in the front is also an addition. There is a
seam running the center of the skirt, an easy alteration is adding four inches
to the cutting edge and then folding under two, trim the curved adge and sew as
the pattern directs. Just for fun I trimmed off the selvage and used it as hem
binding. A little splash of color on the lining doesn't hurt anything. I am
loud and proud of my Frances Newcombe print cotton!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"> I am super impressed with
adults who learn to sew. It is so much easier to take on the concept of
building a 3D object inside-out when you are a kid. I have been wearing my home
sewn dresses since Jr High. Curiously, yardage would find it's way to me, one
of five children, but not hand-me-downs. I learned to sew as a means to hide my
nakedness. I learned to draw people by copying paper dolls from the 1940's and
the leggy models in the Butterick pattern books of the 1970's. I was way ahead
of the curve in art classes, especially life drawing. Various art jobs include
three years of back drop painting for a portrait photographer, murals,
illustrations, faux marble installations, but for the last 23 years I have
settled down to being a happy shop keeper at New Creation Picture Framing, <a href="http://www.newcreationframing.com/"><span style="color: #103cc0;">WWW.newcreationframing.com</span></a>
you will see my Facebook page is full of framed needle art for our avid fans,
though we do framing of all kinds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

One of my best friends, Janice got me hooked on the <a href="http://www.shopwiksten.com/category/shop" target="_blank">Wiksten Tova Top By Tova, Pattern Here</a> I know a lot of sewing blogers made this pattern and it is very popular. I might be a little late in the game but I love this top!<br />
I made mine in Bari J's beautiful Emmy Grace fabric collection by Art Gallery Fabrics. I used the VOILE floral floats fresh.<br />
I made this blouse in the Largest size. My friend Janice made about 10 Wikstens! She made the Medium and that size fits me as well. But the larger size is great if you want to wear your garments longer and loser. I love this Wiksten pattern its is amazing and is very flattering as well as easy to make. It has a packet and no buttons yay!<br />

This Summer I was enamored by trying to sew garments. It is not something that I have been interested since I graduated college, with all the quilts and needle work and crafts that I love to do, I had very little patience for garment sewing but suddenly my fire was kindled. As I was researching new patterns and blogs, I stumbled upon a stunning blog by Sanae Ishida who's tag line is: "A crafty little atelier in a grey city" Her sewing , crafts and paintings have a mark of elegance sofistication simplicity and beauty.<br />
<a href="http://sanaeishida.com/" target="_blank">VIEW HER BLOG HERE</a><br />
Well needless to say I simply fell in love. And the photography had me mesmerized. I immediately wrote to Sanae and to my amazement she immediately wrote back. (Not everyone wrties back even if you offer free fabric believe it or not!)<br />
Well, Sanea asked for 2 fabrics skews from my Cherie fabric collection:<br />
<a href="http://www.liveartgalleryfabrics.com/cherie.html" target="_blank">Les Points power</a> and <a href="http://www.liveartgalleryfabrics.com/cherie.html" target="_blank">En Route Sable</a>. And this is the gorgeous dress she created for her daughter "K". Please read all the details of how she made this dress on her <a href="http://sanaeishida.com/?p=10976" target="_blank">blog</a>.<br />

<tr><td colspan="3" style="vertical-align: top;" valign="top"><span class="prbig" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Pattern Description: </b>pretty easy just a couple little things that confused me about the pockets. Which actually ended up being way simpler than I thought. Also it says to finish the edges before sewing together I found it easier to finish my edges on the pockets after sewing the skirt pieces together.<br /><br /><b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Pattern Sizing:</b><br />I chose size 14 but ended up shearing it down. It runs a bit big so next time a size 12 might fit me.<br /><br /><b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?</b><br />Yes, it did.<br /><br /><b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Were the instructions easy to follow?</b><br />I think a few more diagrams might have helped for beginners.<br /><br /><b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?</b><br />I love the fact that it works for a woman who is busty. Most clothes and dresses dont fit in the bust.<br /><br /><b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Fabric Used:</b><br />Voile Interface was a light WOVEN<br /><br /><b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:</b><br />I cut a little less than an inch on the bottom of the top once finished and I took in the sides quite a bit about another 5/8' on each side. The I shorted the length right above my knee so I cut off about 6' off the skirt part.<br /><br /><b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?</b><br />Yes and yes. I can't wait to make this again maybe a less flirty style more sofisticated by making it longer.<br /><b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />Conclusion: </b><br />I love this dress and it is incredibly comfortable, I had a very tough time fitting it mainly because I am just learning to sew garments and fit myself. I have some problem areas with my body. So I am having trouble with being between sizes 12-14 . I ended up having to rip out seams a lot just trying to fit it on me. But know that I know how to make it, it will be very easy next time. </span></td></tr>
