One of my sweet little peep students exclaimed that everything in my house was sewn for Halloween and another student told me she had to close her eyes or she’d get too many ideas before the others were done when she walked through.

It’s a little over the top, but Halloween’s my favorite holiday.

I actually refrained from making anything new this year and honestly I would have if I’d found the time.

I also cut the purse strings and didn’t even look at the newest Halloween novelty fabric of the year.  That’s a first for me.  I know there’s some new Ghastlies out there.

There’s certainly no lack of pillows with invisible zippers in this house at any season.

I’ve done a lot of small projects for Halloween and some of the paper piecing patterns out there are favorites.

I’ve got Skully here by Twiddletails printed out big for another floor pillow someday, but until then I’ve got a little doorknob caddy for handing out candy to my trick or treaters.  It’s one of my fav projects, especially if it’s full of 3 musketeers;).

Quilt-As-You-Go is a perfect technique for making unique bags with prints from stash.  It’s also good practice in picking fabrics that compliment each other in a log cabin block style.  I’m not a very nostalgic person when it comes to keepsakes, but Roan’s Halloween bag has been packed away with a few other heart-felt gifts.

Straight line or free motion quilting?  Yup, practice is the best teacher and a small project a perfect palette. Baskets are great for nurseries, studios and candy!

Supplement it all with scouted out decor.  My pumpkin heads from Safeway always make me happy and I’m pretty sure I funded Target alone last year with their lite pumpkins.

Outside isn’t so great due to our lack of plugs;(

And the memories of the kids in costumes are what makes it so fun right?  Fourteen year old photo next.

Happy Halloween peeps!

 

:: Two For One ::

By

Seattle has had the most amazing autumn, but today the fog has got me in the mood to get into the studio and sew.  I can procrastinate garden clean up and cooking that I had scheduled into the day a little longer.

I’m fresh off a fun trip from teaching and lecturing in Sisters and promised my students a post with all the Psychedelic Baby quilts I’ve ever made, from the original workshop and the follow up.  Here goes.

sew katie did | No Know Quilt/s

I finished up one quilt with the technique and since I had the cast off blocks they got a ‘matching’ one after I found out they’d had twins. Easy peasy done.

Then I started playing with layouts and moving the colors and strata around.  Color inspiration came from a dress in a catalog.  Make this,

sew katie did| Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | seeing stars

and then this with the cast off blocks.

One quilt,

two quilt.  Both block based but improv in technique.  This one might be my favorite.

Did you say pillows?  Those work too.

sew katie did | Seattle Modern Quilting and Sewing Studio | Alignment Optional Pillows

My cast off blocks from the pillows made their way into a more improvisational design.

sew katie did | Seattle Modern Quilting and Sewing Studio | Alignment Optional Pillows

This quilt’s been traveling around for a show and I’ll look forward to having it back as a class sample.

I’m still getting around to making some of the second quilts for a few of the finished first.

Maybe once the garden is done;)

I’ll be teaching the follow up workshop to Psychedelic Baby in studio or of course you can contact me to schedule;)  If you live further north Quilting Mayhem in Snohomish has asked me to teach this workshop January 19th.

sewkatiedid | Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | Modern Quilt 101| Coin Quilt

But first, this Saturday at Quilting Mayhem we’ll be playing with basic improv techniques while making a Coin Quilt.  See their website for details on the Coin Quilt and look for Psychedelic Baby being listed in the next few days.

I’ve got my eye on holiday gifts in studio, I’m thinking box pouches, invisible zipper pillows or setting the table with some double sided or mitered napkins and dish towels.  I’ll be adding those soon, but if you’ve had your eye on something go ahead and email me and we’ll make it happen in an open studio.  Several students gifted open studio time to themselves and a few friends so they would all have an excuse to sew and be together.

Happy week Peeps!

:: Seeing Stars ::

By

I’m certainly feeling a new season coming on here in Seattle.  Gardening and seasonal cooking seem like kindred spirits to quilting so I’m always torn between the studio, the yard and the kitchen.  Luckily the weather has started cooperating by providing us inside time with a squall here and there, and peppering in some sunshine and those huge fluffy clouds I love so much. I want time to do it all, so the weather has been good at compromising.

If you’re living in Seattle during the winter it’s crucial to have indoor hobbies.  My Seattle peeps must be feeling the same desire to shift back to the indoor sort and are coming out of the woodwork to cultivate new ideas in Open Studios and request workshop dates.

I’m picking up the bug myself.  I’ve been traveling around for months to lectures with the binding half done on my Seeing Stars Quilt and finally caught some couch time to finish it up.

sew katie did| Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | seeing stars

If you’ve taken my improv strip piecing workshop Psychedelic Baby the triangles in this quilt might look familiar.  I made the large star from my triangle cast off blocks we create in Psychedelic Baby and now have enough samples for running the Part II  workshop.

This in studio workshop will focus on improvisational or traditional layout and design using the blocks from the workshop’s first session.

sew katie did | Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | Psychedelic Baby Quilt Workshop

Here’s the original quilt called Full Tilt that I made with the blocks from the first workshop.

Other quilt examples for this Part II workshop are,

the Intersected Quilt,

sew katie did | Seattle Modern Quilting and Sewing Studio

Skewed Symmetry Quilt,

sew katie did | No Know Quilt/s

and my No Know Quilt.

Some are more improvisational in design and some are simply triangles sewn into rows.  Easy to choose a design that works at a skill level you’re comfortable with.

Somewhere along the way stumbled upon a large star layout and decided it was a perfect design for my triangles’ placement.

Sew Katie Did | Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | Seeing Stars Back

Keeping with my tradition at this point I pulled from stash for the back.  I have a love affair with this Alexander Henry fabric and have some pillows around with it that are in the household rotation.

Sew Katie Did | Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | Seeing Stars

The binding is a double binding so that the quilt would have a little framing and the quilting is a grid of straight lines.

Sew Katie Did | Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | Seeing Stars

I really like how it turned out and there’s a bit of star twinkle in some of the fabrics that have silver threads running through them.

A new quilt is always a welcome addition to lectures and for feeding interest in workshops and I’ve got a few of those coming up.  October has some opportunities to visit me outside the studio and even the state.  I’ll be at Quilting Mayhem teaching my Improv 101 | Coin Quilt.

If you live in Oregon I’ll be at the Stitchin’ Post teaching Psychedelic Baby October 18th and Double-Trouble Triangles October 19th.  My Thread Talk is at 6:30pm October 17th; classes are 9AM-4PM.  I’d love to see you!

With October being pretty full I’ve stuck mostly to Open Studios, but as always if you see a workshop you’re interested in email me and we’ll find a date that works:)  Happy Weekend Peeps!

:: Quilter’s Pressing Station Cover ::

By

A few students have enjoyed using the studio’s pressing stations so much that they followed my tutorial to build their own to use at home.  We spent Monday’s Open Studio making covers for the pressing stations and since I was cutting and directing I thought it was time for the studio to have a new one of its own.  Nothing like a demo that creates something new.

Last trip to IKEA this grey improv looking stripe caught my eye.  I always seem to be jumping back and forth on whether I want neutral or I want bold color in my decor so I guess I’m going back to neutral on the pressing station.  If you’re in the market for a fabric that washes up super soft I was really impressed with the drape on this and with my leftovers I’ll be mitering some new dishtowels.

Watch out IKEA PLUGGIS bins, I’m looking out for you on the thrift trail to match my new style.  After years of my Target Oral Kiely bins I’m moving on;)

I get comments on how great my irons are in the studio all the time.  If you’re a lover of steam (or not), flat seams and BOO at drippy irons than the T-Fal is for you.

I love that my design wall (tutorial here) allows me to audition fabric backgrounds without committing.  Simply pin up your fabric picks, take a photo of each and scroll to see how the values of the colors are getting along.  I’ve been playing with the Free-Wheeling Girl and other curve rulers like wedding rings in the studio and find my foundation construction and improv techniques way easier than a pattern.  If you’re interested in learning my construction I’ll be available in any Open Studio to show you how to get started.  I’ve got the Next Stitch and other curved templates available and tips galore to share.

Monday’s Open Studio has turned into a quilting session with two students finishing up with the quilting on their Psychedelic Baby quilts.  If you’d like to quilt or just have some company sewing there’s one slot left.

Wishing you all a lazy & maybe productive long weekend Peeps;)

Embracing Your Curves

By

I love quilting for so many reasons, but the ability to have crisp points or patchwork align perfectly is probably at the top.  When I view the approach Jefe has to take with remodeling around the house I’m thankful for the ability and flexibility to manipulate my material.  Of course it’s not like I’m running out of fabric or anything either 😉

Cutting it short?  Add some more.  Too large proportionally?  Cut it down.  Not lined up?  Rip it apart.  Run out of that fabric? Use another similar.

sew katie did | Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | #seattlemodernquiltiingstudio

I find free-hand cut curves are a different animal compared with other improv techniques, NOT in the sense that you can’t add or subtract from them, but in that curves are a good lesson in letting go of knowing exactly how something’s going to turn out.  A lesson that’s good for me as someone that practically catches leaves as they’re falling from the tree.

Not knowing their outcome exactly is part of their fun.  An opportunity to flex creative muscles and open up to new ideas.

It’s easy to feel like you don’t know where to go next when playing with improvisational techniques and/or design, so we quadrant out our blocks in the Embrace Your Curves workshop.  This allows us to focus on a design within a margined space and work with the design as a whole instead of one block at a time.  I cover techniques for successful free-hand curves (and ‘bit’ curves), give you the structure and steps I use to get there and nudge you in your design when teaching.  Something like the pillow above emerges.

sew katie did | Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | Improv Curves workshop

I find improv curves are like going to your favorite restaurant, but you’re not allowed to order your favorite dish repetitively, forcing you to have a new experience.  The outcome is new designs all the time.

sew katie did | Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | free piecing curves workshop

A rabbit hole for sure;)

sew katie did | Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | Box Pouch Pattern & Improv Curves

I finished up these free pieced curved blocks, quilting them and whipped them up into this box pouch serving triple duty for my boxed pouch pattern and some workshops on the schedule:

As always, if there is a workshop or skill you’re interested in we can schedule it in studio.

Happy Week Peeps!

Intersected Quilt

By

 I’ve had my sights set on running a Part II Psychedelic Baby workshop.   We create secondary or cast off blocks in the Psychedelic Baby workshop that can be simply used on the back, but why not make another quilt?

 I’ve been focusing my studio time on finishing up a variety of samples for this new workshop and now have enough to start rolling them out here.  I’ve popped some sessions of Part II on the calendar for those of you that have already taken the first session or are signed up.

Here’s the quilt I made using the secondary blocks.  I’ll call Intersected.

Here’s the Cross-Roads Quilt I shared last week with blocks from the first session workshop.  You can read more about it here.  I’ve added one more session since the two I had up filled last week.

My past samples using the secondary blocks have been more improvisational in design, so I was aiming for a ‘traditional’ layout with Intersected.  We’ll cover how to size our blocks into geometric shapes, study the construction of several more traditional designs and learn how to build out improvisational designs like I did here and here.

I’d like students to also bring with them several inspirational quilt designs from books, patterns or photos so we can talk about their potential construction using the blocks as a group.

A few details about this quilt… I’ve straight line quilted vertical random lines at different widths in white thread.  The binding could really have been any of the fabrics in the quilt, but I went with the neutral Essex to have more flexibility in picking the backing fabric from stash.

sew katie did | Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | Intersected Quilt Workshop

The backing is a fabric that you’ve seen before if you follow the blog.  I have a 70s love for this Smitten Kitten.

sew katie did | Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | Intersected Quilt Workshop

As always, if you’re looking for a specific workshop to fit your schedule let me know;)

Back in the 90s here in Seattle, but looking at a cooler weekend for our workshop.  Enjoy Peeps!

P.S.  Big thanks to Curated Quilts for featuring my quilt in their triangle issue.

Cross Roads Quilt

By

Well happy summer.  Finishing quilts doesn’t seem to be an issue, but getting them photographed and up here to share is another story.

Cross Roads quilt is yet another sample for my Psychedelic Baby workshop.  The versatility of this block in creating different designs is part of the fun in the class.  Perfect timing as I’ve got a Sunday class in the studio coming up on August 12th (Full) and another requested for Sunday September 16th (Full).  This month’s Sunday open studio (Full) is up as well if anyone wants to come socialize and finish up some projects.

The colors for this one came right out of a Garnet Hill catalog, but walking through IKEA yesterday they seem a staple there as well.  The dark grey leaning towards black in my photos.

 Pulling from stash to match the colors to my inspiration there’s a mix of Kona, Essex linen for the neutral and some Michael Miller Cotton Coutures.

Simple straight line quilting of course on this one.  Let the patchwork shine.  The quilting on this one done in a grid about 1″ apart on the long arm.  White thread.  I think it finishes up about 54″ x 54″.  A good size baby quilt.

I added the white flange before putting on the natural Essex for binding.  I really wanted the square blocks to stand out and not have the binding be a distraction.

I’ve long loved this Alexander Henry hills print and it finally found its home on the back.  A few left overs popped in to bring it to width.

We’ve finally dropped back to normal temps in Seattle and I’m missing the hot already, but my garden is ready for the rain we’re suppose to get the next two days.

We spent nearly three weeks out of the country with the majority of time in Croatia.  We had an amazing time.  I’m back in the studio tomorrow now that I’m caught up on life back home.  New projects and workshops are ready to be sampled up for fall.

Hope you’re all having some down time and a relaxing summer peeps!

Summer Sampler Block #3 | Southwest Highways Block

By

Welcome to week #3 of the Summer Sampler and my Southwest Highways block!

I wanted to create a block that was simple and graphic.  If you’re new to paper piecing it’s a technique that allows you to get sharp points and extremely accurate piecing.  If you’d like a walk through of this technique I’ll get out all my tools for the studio’s June 8th Open Studio.  Of course you can always bring a paper piecing project to any open studio.  Can’t make it to Seattle and would like to know some tips and tricks?  Lee of Freshly Pieced has a great post and Faith covers paper piecing for beginners here.

The Southwest stole my heart in about 1993.  The colors of the landscape and their reflection in the cultures around you are really the inspiration for this block.

After numerous road trips from Michigan I caught a ride with a friend heading to school in Arizona.  I settled in Flagstaff working for the Winter Sun Trading Company in their herbal apothecary.  From the herb room I could take in the colors of the native art we sold in the front room.  The artists often used natural pigments for their art work.  I certainly could have added some turquoise to this block!  Whether inside or out it’s hard to escape the colors of the Southwest when you live there.  They’re reflected everywhere you go.

 Just a reminder, you can sign up for this quilt along at any time.  When you sign up after the start date, you will get all the patterns that we’ve release to-date.  You can catch up on past blocks on your own schedule and continue quilting along with the group as we release weekly block patterns.

Time doesn’t allow for me to complete all the blocks, so I decided to pick mine apart and make the two panels from the triangles to make a box pouch after adding some background fabric to the top and bottom of the triangles.  This is one of my favorite projects to make with orphaned blocks.

I’ve been making and teaching box pouches for ages and am now offering the pattern on sale for the week here.  

Hope you’re enjoying the making;)

:: Spring Has Sprung ::

By

I’m fresh back from my annual spring retreat with my quilty friends.  We’re all having some sort of issue with reentry;)  Treat yourself peeps, anytime you can.

I finished up the instructions for my Southwest Highways block for this year’s Summer Sampler.  A follower on IG commented they’re going to use the block as the border on their’s.  What a great idea.

 Sunday is the last day to get the discounted price.  Read all about it on this post.    You can purchase here.  I’ll teach the block paper pieced block above in Open Studio on June 8th for those interested.

A few new classes on the schedule.  Modern Quilt 101 is an improv spin on a Chinese Coin Quilt.  For my working peeps I’ve got a Memorial Day and weekend option on the schedule.

It was about time for a project workshop and students have been asking about the thread catchers for awhile.  I never leave for a workshop or retreat without mine.  I’ve got you covered on some of the specialty supplies needed, you’ll just need to bring yourself and some fabric to customize your own.

Looking at the calendar I honestly don’t even know where to put classes this summer.  Vacation, soccer tournaments, family around…I swear I’m going to blink and it will be August.  Open Studios will continue and anyone interested in a workshop can contact me to schedule.

I’ll be teaching my improv string block class, Psychedelic Baby June 24th at The San Juan Museum of Arts.  This class is part of the many activities around the exhibition Conversations With Gee’s Bend at the San Juan Islands Museum of Art from Memorial Day to Labor Day weekend.  Sign up is here. If you are on island come visit.

And finally, if you get a moment and you love looking at amazing traditional quilts, check out this wonderful video of The Quilts of Ken Burns.

Have a great weekend and Mother’s Day peeps!

Summer Sampler

By

 

I’m not much of a joiner, but I really admire the ladies (Katie of Swim Bike Quilt, Lee of Freshly Pieced and Faith of Fresh Lemon Quilts) that host this sampler.  So when I was asked to design and contribute a block to this year’s I thought to myself to just keep it simple.

This year’s sampler is travel inspired and my thoughts went to all the solo and accompanied road trips I’ve taken throughout the years in the Southwest and those roads tucked between all that sandstone.

Thought I’d share the quilt mockup with you today!  They’ve mocked it up in 3 different color ways, and Sewtopia will be offering solids kits [10% off if you pre-order here], and so will Mad About Patchwork in Canada!!

:: Fractured Hearts Quilt with the Double-Trouble Quilt Block ::

By

Phew, I’m home cleaning up all my messes.  I simply dropped and ran from everything as I flew or drove teaching here, there and all over.  I’ve always been a lover of people and the adventure of visiting new places is in my blood.  Words can’t even explain what a fun, amazing, and inspiring time it was hanging out with EVERY ONE of you, but I’m certainly happy to not drag a hundred pounds of quilts around or live out of my carry-on for a bit.  With that many quilts, you’ve got no room for clothing;)

As I folded my Heart Value Quilt at the end of the bed this morning it occurred to me that I’ve made quite a few quilts and patchwork projects with this graphic symbol, the shape might even rival stars by now.  Poor Jefe.

And I’ve got another.  Actually I have two of the same design, but one using the wrong colored thread and wrong quilt design that might or might not ever make it to these pages.  Mistakes and experience make the best learning tools.

I’ve been tagged on IG by some creative quilters and their inspirational heart shapes using the improvisational triangle from Quilting Modern and thought about a little twist on it.  This fractured heart image using the Double-Trouble Block stuck in my head.

I pulled out a bunch of half square triangles from another design idea that never panned out, added an improv triangle and popped them up on the design wall, filling in the blanks from stash for the background.

I love it when ideas work.

In Seattle this time of year you have to take advantage of the light when you can for photos, but the problem was the quilt wasn’t/isn’t still 100% done.   Since the sun was a shining and I hadn’t yet sewn the binding down to the back I used Steam a Seam tape which is a double-sided adhesive to keep the binding in place.  It’s a good tricky trick if you need a photo of a ‘finish’ for a show.

Making smaller quilts makes for smaller pieces for backing.  I think I’m on my second year of piecing backs from stash and no dent in stash has been yet sensed.

The quilt top came from those pieced blocks and stash as well.  Piecing a quilt from stash is a little more doable now that I’m scaling quilts down in size for easier travel.  Run out of that blue?  No problem, just grab another similar value of the color.  That piece too small?  No problem, sew 2 scraps together and cut square.  I love all the texture it adds.

I quilted out from the center in a quartered-V shape with Mettler white thread.  I’ve been using this brand of thread for years for quilting tops. I’ve learned quite a few tricks for quilting this design that I teach in my straight line quilting bucket class to keep it flat. I go for a stitch length of about a 3 on the Berninas.

Like everything I make I ask myself, “Is this one teachable?” For sure!  And once I back into the best teaching methods I’ll have the class run solo and finally get a pattern together for those of you that have asked.

I love having multiple examples of what students can do with the improvisational quilting techniques I teach in workshops, so when I taught the Double-Trouble workshop in B.C. and South Florida MQG this season I had another new sample.

I’ve updated the available Open Sew Studio dates for April.

 I’ve got some traveling peeps coming through Seattle requesting workshops at the studio.  Perhaps you’d like to join.  I’ve got a Saturday in April focusing on Straight Line Quilting that combines the quilting technique we practice into some useful buckets and a May weekday workshop for the Improvisational Strip Piecing workshop I call Psychedelic Baby.

I’ll be back once I have the new classes ready to roll.

Hope you’re getting crafty.
