Pezzy Print Goodness

I don't know about ya'll, but I just love Pezzy Print fabric! It's such a great basic to have in your stash! I got a bundle of yard cuts back in February and forgot to post about it....oops I guess Jared is a good excuse as to why I have been so busy and blog slacking! Well here is a pretty photo of my stack, before I folded it different and added it to my big stash of fabrics! 

I'm curious, how do you organize your fabrics? Do ya'll have stacks of Pezzy Prints?  Do you organize by color, size, entire collections?  I organize my stash by colors/size.  I have a stack of FQ and then yardage behind it of the same colors.  Does that make sense?  Do you want to see a photo? Let me know! 

Anywho....if you're looking for a project to use up your Pezzy Print stash, check out my FREE tutorial over on Moda Bake Shop!  It's called Follow the Pezzy Brick Road and the tutorial can be found HERE!  If you make one, I'd LOVE to see it so either email me or add it to my Flickr Group please!!  Have fun sewing!

Quilt Market part two...quilts

Here is just a sample of some the awesome quilts at Market!

I'm doing baby's nursery in Dr. Seuss/primary colors so of course I had to take some photos of the Dr. Seuss display!

I had to take a photo of this quilt because it looks like my Ozzie!

Gorgeous colors!

That cobalt blue is stunning!

Gotta love the cardinals!

Love the blue and green!

By the way....my NEW Moda Bake Shop is going to be up on Wednesday....come back to my blog on Wednesday November 30th for a giveaway!!!



New MBS!

Just thought I'd share these lovely fabrics that came in the mail last week from Moda!  These will magically turn into my next Moda Bake Shop project (hopefully soon!)  Of course they are like the most girly fabrics ever and all I can think about is having a little boy!!  Ya'll should definitely buy some of this fabric line, it's so pretty and did you see that houndstooth?? LOVE!

And I don't know about you, but don't you like sleeping in scrap bins?  LOL!!!  I'm sewing and look to my right and see this pretty girl laying in the yellow scrap bin!  Izzy decided that it was too full so she pushed some out and then layed in it!  Looks comfortable right? HA!  What would I do without these crazy cats?!?!

Do you have your Jelly Roll ready?? Good! Here are the steps for week one, we're going to start with the blocks!  I can't wait to see everyone's fabric choices!  Don't forget to upload any photos of your progress to the Flickr Group!!

My mom and I are making NEW Awesome Quilts in for the quilt along too!! I'm using a Laurel Jelly Roll from Moda.  You may remember the quilt I made for my dad for Christmas using Laurel fabric...if not read HERE from my previous post.

2. Take 13 JR strips and cut each as follows:
four- 7 1/2” pieces
four- 3” pieces

3. Take the 14th JR strip and cut as follows:
two- 7 1/2” pieces
two-3” pieces

4. Cut the 15th JR strip as follows:
14- 2 ½” pieces

5. Cut the 16th JR strip as follows:
13- 2 1/2" pieces

6. Mix & Match the 2 ½” middle squares with two each of the larger pieces (same fabric). You should have 27 ready to go to start sewing.  We will start sewing them next week, but you're more than welcome to jump ahead and sew them!

Okay, those are the steps for this week!!  Come back next Friday for the next steps!  This is so much fun already!  Don't forget to join the Flickr Group and if you don't have a Flickr, check out my tutorial on how to start a Flickr Account at the top of my page!

Coming Soon: The Awesome Quilt Along

Ok ya'll, whose interested in a quilt along?? 

I've received a bunch of emails from people who have made my Awesome Quilt from Moda Bake Shop (and they look amazing!) and also some emails from people with questions!  I've spent all weekend fixing the pattern and I'm finally done with only a couple slight changes to make it even better!!  When I originally wrote the pattern it was around the time of The International Quilt Festival in Houston and needless to say it was a super busy time.  I'm sorry if anyone has had any problems with it and the new/slightly different tutorial will be better!

I figured to celebrate we should have a quilt along!! Whose in??  I want to see who is interested and will be making a Flickr Group for people to join in on too! This will be a join anytime quilt along and hopefully really fun!!  We can post photos along the way in the Flickr group to see everyone's progress and finished Awesome Quilt!! If you're interested leave me a comment letting me know and start spreading the word!!

I will be posting a materials list by the end of the week so you know what you'll need! I will say for the top you will only need one Jelly Roll!!  Then with a series of posts I will post the new tutorial for The Awesome Quilt!  Let's do it!!!

Here is the most recent one I made! Not the best hanging job or photo...but I was in a hurry :)

Grab a Button on the right side of my blog for your blog and tell all of your friends!!

2010 Finishes Quilt Edition

My New Years Resolution last year was to make one quilt each month to have a total of 12 quilts by the end of 2010 and I DID IT!! I actually made way more than 12; I made close to 20 quilts this year and that makes me super excited!!!  There is one quilt photo that I didn't add because it's my next Moda Bake Shop project!    I think I ended up making 3 of just my Ruffle Quilt!  Some of these quilts I haven't shared with ya'll yet because they were Christmas presents and I wanted them to be secret!  Here are some photos of my 2010 quilts!
