::Throwing Star Pillow::

February 2, 2015 By Katie

sewkatiedid:throwing stars pillow:to the point triangle workshopThat leftovers thing happened again. ย Hexes turned into triangles, and now I have another shape to show as an example in my triangle workshop with a hexagon shape center to boot!

The stars turned out pretty wee by the time I cut them from the left over hexes.

The precision I’m pretty happy with, no paper piecing involved for those of you that asked, just 60 degree triangle piecing.

I floated them in Essex Linen.

The diamond shape the quilting forms was simple enough to execute.

And it matches the pillows on my couch;)

sewkatiedid:invisible zipper tutorial

Finished off with my Invisible Zipper Tutorial.

The weather couldn’t be any more perfect for quilting and if my child’s mood this morning is any indication of how most of Seattle is feeling today I think I’ll make the best of it and stay home to sew.

Chin up Seattle.

Happy Monday;)

You are an inspiration!

      The Essex is a good standby for sure.

    This is very inspiring. Our new house has a long fireplace mantle. Not very comfortable by itself but if I add pillows it becomes tons of extra seating. Yeah Katie!

    How super pretty is this! And what a brilliant comtemporary reworking of the fabulous old hexi.
