::Happy Additions::

November 11, 2013 By Katie

sewkatiedidI spent Sunday at Island Quilter teaching some gift classes.  I started dreaming up new quilts with the happy colored fabrics that had come in since my last visit.  All the pastels and the bright oranges were talking to me.

I didn’t even notice it until it was all washed and folded, but the cheerful Kaffe Fasset button fabric even has smiley faces on it:).  How cute is that?  I added in some of the Briar Rose by Heather Ross (they have the full line), a little Anna Maria Horner and some Lizzy House Pearl Bracelet.  I’ll be stashing some more of the strawberries and adding the other Kaffe Fasset buttons when I have an excuse.

sewkatiedid/sparkle punchI’ve been dying to make a Sparkle Punch forever and my additional purchase of Essex in flax sealed the deal for the starts of that quilt.  I figured while I was cutting I should just make a new Magic Number Quilt sample for my workshop Sunday.  Stay tuned on that one, I plan on piecing my design tomorrow.

sewkatiedidFreddy Moran’s quilts are up throughout the month of November.  Freddy’s amazing.  She believes red is a neutral.  If you’ve only ever seen her quilts in books now’s your chance to see how fun and amazing they are.

We’ll be running an open studio Saturday, November 30th from 11am-9pm at Island Quilter if you need to step away from the leftovers and spend a day on sewing gifts.  Follow the link to sign-up and I’ll say it again, “Step away from the turkey.”

    Wow! I didn’t know you needed an “excuse” to buy more fabric. Love those sweet stars.

    I think you mean Freddy Moran, not Marston.

    Red is a neutral! Love that concept. Bet her childhood box of crayons was worn down to stubs.

    *lovitylovelove* Briar Rose – I have a FQ set of it all, but the knits! I think it’ll be ten years before I cut into the strawberry jersey 🙂 The start to your Sparkle Punch looks lovely!

    Wow I really love your colour palette for that sparkle punch quilt top! I just finished a wonky star quilt using Essex Flax as my background and it was beautiful to work with. I used shot cottons and Oakshott for the stars so they give a very different feel than your palette. I love how versatile those stars can be. Here’s a link to my finish if you care to see how it turned out: http://www.everydayfray.com/2013/10/from-k-finished-wonky-star-quilt.html Thank you so much for showing your fabric pull, I can’t wait to see how it comes together.
