Hip to be Square Pillow Cover Tutorial

Hello lovelies!! 

I had gotten my hands on Emily Herrick's new line called Rustique for Michael Miller and decided to make a pillow cover with it.  If you were observant, it made it's way into my NEW blog header!

I always seem to use a fabric line plus white or a light neutral.  When I decided to make this pillow I didn't want to add any fabrics to it because the colors are so pretty and the design didn't need the white.  

In other words, I'm using small projects to force myself out of the "white" habit...lol! 

Here is the pillow I made!  It's made using the Sizzix Big Shot machine and one Half Square Triangle die to cut all the pieces.  

The full tutorial can be found over on the Sizzix Blog! I hope you will check it out! 

Oh, I also added a link a the top of my blog under the header for links to all my Sizzix Tutorials too! That way they will be easy for you to find.  Of course, the other Quilt Tutorial link is there too. :) 

Much Love!!!

Bountiful - A Free Pattern

Hi Hi Hi!!

I hope all you ladies out there had a fabulous Mother's Day!!! Yes ALL you ladies!! Because even if you aren't a Mama of a child or a fur baby, you're still a HOT MAMA!!! :D

I was asked to be a guest blogger over at Confessions of a Fabric Addict and I jumped on board really quick. I've "known" Sarah for quite some time through blogging and crafting (someday we WILL meet in person) and let me tell you she has the purest of hearts!! She is also a quilting maniac! I also mean that in the most loving way possible ;) She pointed out to me in a text the other day that we also share an affinity to exclamation points. I have no idea what she was talking about. I mean, I've only used 15 so far in two paragraphs... hahahahha!! < -- 16 and 17.  Oy!  I just can't help it. :)

Back on topic.... If you haven't been to Sarah's blog before, go have a look around and see all the wonderful things she does.  She asked me to guest blog to help promote Hands2Help for her which is a contest she runs for charity quilting every year. It's full of awesome sauce! Have a look around, comment and tell her I said hello. 

For my post I wanted to do a pattern that was quick to sew (so that lots could be made for charities) as well as pleasing to the eye.  

Here is Bountiful...

The pattern is written up for a baby sized quilt at 40" x 40" and I used Lori Holt's Vintage Happy for Riley Blake. You can also make 4 of these and make an 80" x 80" if you'd like! Here is a mock up of 4 of them put together.  Wowza!

Much Love!!!
