My family and I are fortunate enough to vacation for a week each year at the North Carolina beach. The Outer Banks are just beautiful. I bring my machine along each year to sew during the times we are not down on the beach.
This year, I created Sandcastle!
I waited until the last day to capture a photo on the beach which meant I had to deal with lots of wind.
The photo op was still fun .... until I had to chase it down the beach after a big wind gust!
This pattern is now available in my Elm Street Quilts pattern store on Craftsy. It is my 6th pattern and could be my favorite one!
You need 2 fat quarters for the castle and then scraps for the flags, windows and doors.
My kids are teenagers and have lost interest in building actual sandcastles. My quilty one will just have to do!!
Happy Stitching!
Hearts are not just for Valentine's Day.
Hearts do not have to be red either! Grab your favorite mini charm pack and my new pattern and create a Everyday Love mini for all of your favorite people!
I used a mini charm pack of Feed Company by Moda (gifted to me by my blog buddy Kris).
I did straight line quilting - denser inside the hear than the background fabric.
Please see my other blog Elm Street Quilts for more information on this pattern and my others patterns.
Happy Stitching!
This quilt is my own design using a Fig Tree fabric layer cake. It finished 60" x 70". Cathy Kirk did the edge to edge quilt design called JS Panto 27.
I gifted this quilt to my Aunt - she is married to my mom's brother. She lives in New Hampshire and is a great lady. A few years ago my daughter and I were stranded in an airport nearby and they rescued us late at night only to return us very, very early the next day. My daughter still calls her "the aunt who saved us!!"
The pattern for this quilt will be available shortly. I'm so excited!
Happy Stitching!
Just got back from a week at the NC beach.
Every year I cart my sewing machine there and enjoy time quilting during the middle of the day. At that point, the beach is crowded and the sun is too hot. This year, we had days of rain in the beginning which meant for nice quilting time. I had a bunch of leftover geese so assembled them into this mini.
I intend to do some circular quilting on this one and have the starting circle marked and ready to go.
More photos when the quilting is done!
Happy Stitching!
