Midweek Makers #407

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Happy to report that at 6 weeks post surgery, I'm doing really well. Next week is the doctor appt which includes x-rays to check on progress. And hopefully, I'll be able to ditch the massive brace I need to wear. I'm getting there!

So, did everyone check out the quilts from last week? Here's three that caught my eye:

from Grace and Peace, this Petra quilt,

a kaleidoscope finish for Not Afraid of Color,

and a Happy Endings quilt from With Strings Attached.

Maple Twist Quilt

I'm excited to introduce a new fall quilt, Maple Twist!

 

If you haven't heard, I love fall colors! All the red, orange and yellow landing on a green background, is so reminiscent of falls leaves littering the grass, right?

The Maple Twist quilt pattern uses a single block to make up several quilt sizes, featuring the shown lap size (52″ x 64″), plus a twin (64" x 88"), and a queen size (88" x 100").

Construction is super easy, especially if cutting is done in bulk, along with stitching units in groups. That makes Maple Twist a perfect project for the beginner quilter!

As for the quilting, I got a bit creative as I couldn't find a pantograph that conveyed the feeling of floating, swirling leaves. So I decided to modify one of my favorites, Passion Fruit. Where there was a flower, I re-drew a maple leaf. You can see the new leaf in the circle in the quilting closeup. 

Turned out just the way I wanted it!

For those of you wanting to enjoy your own Maple Twist quilt this season, use the coupon code 'FALLCOLORS' at Etsy checkout for 25% off. This coupon is valid now through November 10, 2023.

Happy Quilting!

Midweek Makers #406

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

It is seriously pumpkin time! Did you hear that the winner of the 2023 Pumpkin Weigh Off in Half Moon Bay was a record breaking 2749 pounds? Incredible!

Since I'm partial to pumpkins, especially my Pumpkat Patch runner and it's companion piece, Pumpkin Peek-a-Boo, I also like pumpkins a bit more modern. That's the Pumpkin applique block, an easy to make applique block for any project.

As a little pumpkin treat, now thru midnight October 31, 2023, the Pumpkin applique block plus ALL off my block patterns are 25% off - no coupon code necessary. Enjoy!

Let's take a look at a few features from last week's party? Making a Lather used leftover blocks to make a second quilt,

Vicki's Crafts and Quilting finished up some UFO's,

and Scrapbox Quilts made this adorable turkey just in time for the holidays.
