March 27, 2017 By Katie

sew katie did | Seattle Modern Quilting and Sewing StudioSince the beginning of the year I’ve folded, packed, unpacked, shared and refolded quilts a million times and I wanna extend a big heartfelt thanks to all those involved in my workshops and lectures this season.  Please know that everything from holding up my quilts, taking a class, teaching me things you know, giving me a hug, to feeding me is all appreciated!

Quilters pretty much rule.

sew katie did | Seattle Modern Quilting and Sewing Studio  Now I’m looking forward to wrapping up the season by sticking closer to home with the Bainbridge and Tacoma MQGs, and the Stray-Threads Guild in Woodinville this coming month.  If you’re around one of these guilds please come visit me;)

 Then I’m going on retreat to sew what ever I want!

sew katie did | Seattle Modern Quilting and Sewing StudioWe’ve been busy in the studio constructing sets of nesting buckets with our practice pieces in the Straight-Line Quilting Workshop.  This workshop has really been fun, from spilling all the information in my head out, to seeing everyone’s amazing straight line designs and hearing what they’re going to use their buckets for.

On the list for the afternoon is categorizing my sample pile for this week’s and April’s Creative Inspiration for Quilt Backs workshop.  I’ll be sharing the strategies I use in constructing my own quilt backs and guiding you through making some beautiful backs of your own on the studio’s design walls.

sew katie did | Seattle Modern Quilting and Sewing StudioSeattle had like 3 days of sunshine in February and March’s outcome is yet to be determined, but let’s say it’s kind of seems like a tie.  So lucky to have a space dedicated solely to my indoor hobby when we’re living in the rainy months.

I’ve already took a walk, so now I’m hoping to make it out to the studio so I can get to the quilting on my Value Hearts Quilt.

It’s all basted up, TWICE.

sew katie did | basting boo booThough I’ve cut it extremely close with batting more than a few times this seemed a little ridiculous.  So after putting 50 or more pins I recut some batting, rebasted and I’m ready to roll.

The first lines were lain yesterday and now I’m itching to get back to it.  I’ll be adding this to the concept classes closer to summer.

Happy Week Peeps!

    well I see ‘hammer girl’ up there in the corner with the pillows. lol I had so much fun in your psychedelic baby class, that i learned solids would be a little more appealing that my black and white patterns. I did get a pillow, scrap baby quilt and a 65″ square quilt all done. Just gotta quilt the big one yet. Also trying to talk hubby into that carribean cruise. It’ll be our 35 anniversary then. he he
