PBS Fabrics Herringbone Baby Quilt

-



 I recently was offered opportunity to sew with
 Paintbrush Studio Fabrics Painters Palette Solid
to making a Herringbone Baby Quilt.

The company sent the fabric and it was 
like Christmas around here.
The PBS Fabrics wanted to highlight the
Painters Palette Solids collection but especially 
Lipstick which is rows 3 and 4 in the quilt below.
Painters Palette Solids Pantone color of the year!



The first thing I noticed where the colors 
bright, the fabrics soft, light weight, and sleek!
Perfect for a baby quilt or any quilt!

The colors included
White, Crimson, Tomato, (2 rows) of Lipstick, Verbena, and Salmon


The Herringbone Quilt Pattern

(Link to free pattern)
It is a free .pdf pattern 
and has a great herringbone chart that I used.
It includes directions for making HST’s! 

But I found a wonderful way to make lots of perfect 
HST that once cut apart and sewn are 7” Half Square Triangles
Using 



Tip

This confused me so much I went and asked an advanced quilter!

Unfinished size - is the size when cut before sewn to anything else
Finished size - is the size of the individual HST after sewn into a block




I used straight line quilting to quilt!



Why we quilt!
To see the joy in your cousin’s eyes when you give her
the quilt you made for her new baby due in 6 weeks!

We are all ready to meet little Marlee!
I love how fast this quilt came together!
Create and be Unique!

Thanks you Madame Samm Sew We Quilt! and Erin Sew At Home Mummy for being the best cheerleaders in the world. Madame Samm I love how you keep thinking up great hops! You keep us challenged, that is for sure! I love "Stitching On Prints" it is so fun! I tried out DMC Cotton Perle, Aurifil, and a pack of cheap stuff with great colors. The Cotton Perle is inexpensive and works pretty well. The cheap stuff is awful it is hard to pull through the fabric and I will not buy again. The Aurifil is just right. I hope to get more and start "Stitching On Print" a series. Where we work together once a week and learn stitches. I love the effect in the mug rug. April Showers Blog Hop Day 1! These are the Blogger for April 8, 2013. The April Showers Blog Hop is from April 8 - 18, 2013. Please stop by and give a comment for all their hard work. You can get the full schedule at Erin's blog Sew At Home Mummy Erin@Sew at Home Mummy Patty@A Stitch In Time Jenny@Squawk

Aurifil Thread Giveaway - Black and White

Let's talk thread! As Quilters and Sewers - thread binds everything we create together. Some will say the most important item is fabric, spend the extra on fabric, I say buy the best thread! Cheap cotton threads breaks and rots after a few years. Have a problem with your thread breaking try a spool of Aurifil 50 wt. thread! It may just cure it! Just a side note - if you have old thread that was given to you, use it as a decoration don't use it in your machine. Never buy old thread for sewing, it will just cause you a lot of frustration. When I needed a bag to hold my smaller rulers, I chose Aurifil 50 wt thread to zig zag the bag because it is strong and durable! I use white to sew almost everything light colored and that includes topstitching. I went back months searching my most used color and go figure it is Aurifil 50 wt. thread #2021, Natural White! It only goes to say that my other most used color of Aurifil 50 wt. thread is #2692, Black! Sometimes topstitching
