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
by Melissa Mortensen
Of
(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!

Welcome my friends and those who maybe visiting for the first time! Today, I am so excited to introduce you to a true West Virginian Artesian, Greg Cartwright , of Cartwright's Creations . His items are sold in historical shops throughout West Virginia. He is a lover of reclaimed wood of historical nature and creator of works of art! Greg (Cartwright's Creations) & I A note from Greg Dear Readers I have provided two seam rippers to Lisa so she can have one and one to give away. They are both made from beautiful old growth oak which was reclaimed from the original train depot in Weston (Lewis County), West Virginia. Train service was established in Weston around 1880. This wood is representative of a great part of my passion for this venture in woodworking for me – that is finding wood with a story to it. I must admit that my main focus is pens and pencils but it really doesn’t matter what I am making as long as it is from wood (although I have recently added pens...

Update This Giveaway is closed! And the winner is ... #105 gpc March 5, 2014 at 12:13 PM I follow your blog! :) Think Ruffles Blog Hop Welcome to "In The Boon Docks" and Day 1 of the "Think Ruffles Blog Hop"! My name is Lisa and I am so happy you are here today to see my quilt with ruffles! I have to thank Madam Samm @ Sew We Quilt and Amy (Head Cheerleader)@ Sew Incredibly Crazy for arranging this great hop! What is a ruffle? There are lots of different kinds and Madam Samm left it open to interpretation. She showed us how to make some and at the time I was thinking; ruffled bloomers, ruffled dresses, ruffled pillows. Then I saw a quilt in a magazine with what looked like ruffles! I kind of browsed through the issue of Quilt-it today , March/April 2014 issue and left it in my rocking chair and went to work. The second time I read the "Garden Path" pattern by Ann Baxter, (I had already made the quilt), it read "ruching", you don...
