DIY vintage inspired baubles Last week I showed you the vintage Christmas tree decorations that I bought from Sunbury antiques market and on Sunday I showed you the gorgeous vintage Christmas tree decorations from Citrus and Orange and Loretoidas. Inspired by all these vintage baubles I decided to paint cheap plastic silver baubles with nail polish and dust them in vintage glitter to match my Vintage Christmas theme. I love how the polish gives them a worn look but still gives them a little shimmer and is a great way to use up old nail polish! I was also lucky enough to find some old metal glitter in my craft boxes which adds to their vintage look. If you can't find metal glitter try using a course glitter instead. Here's how...

Baby's Soft Book of Colors This tutorial uses crazy quilt squares to make a soft book for baby. Each "page" is a crazy quilt square with scraps of just one color so baby can see lots of shades and variations of each color; together the pages make up a rainbow soft book. Use scraps with lots of texture and pattern to keep baby interested. Finn and I had a lot of fun choosing the fabric scraps and everyone in my family has enjoyed seeing little bits of memories from their lives sew together: a piece of Granny's shirt, a scrap from a cousin's baby blanket, a bit of fabric leftover from an auntie's first quilt. Finn with his Papa. Finn with his cousin Ella. Finn with his auntie Leandra (my little sister) and uncle Obie. If you've never pieced a crazy quilt (or any quilt) before, don't worry! All seam allowances are 1/2". 1. 2. 3. 4. Red square face up, top with purple face down. 5. 6. Clip corners (but don't clip the seam!) 7. Be sure to stitch the ribbon into the seam between the back cover and the purple square. 8.

Tuto : le patchwork de feignasse Beaucoup d’entre nous conservons les chutes de tous ces tissus qui nous sont chers, mais ça devient rapidement une invasion ! Voilà une petite astuce pour les transformer rapidement en carrés/rectangles formés de carrés tous égaux, de la taille de son choix, en vue de n’importe quel projet (coussin, trousse ou autre). Il faut : un tas de chutes variées, un gabarit en carton (j’ai fait un micro-carré de 4x4cm pour utiliser mes micro-chutes, mais on s’adapte à la taille de ses chutes) On découpe là-dedans autant de carrés que possible, on prépare des paires que l’on dispose endroit contre endroit : C’est maintenant qu’arrive le truc : il s’agit d’enchainer la couture de toutes ces paires sans jamais lever le pied presseur, sans faire d’aller-retour au début et à la fin de chaque paire cousue, on obtient donc une longue guirlande : Après avoir coupé entre chaque paire, on forme des paires de paires que l’on prépare à nouveau endroit contre endroit et que l’on assemble en guirlande.

Tutorial: How To Make a Perfect Four Patch Quilt Block Piecing a perfect four-patch block is just one of those things a quilter should have under their belt, if you know what I mean. Luckily, it’s a quick and easy process (nevermind that it took me about a billion pictures to show how easy it is…). Once you get the hang of it, you can crank these babies out in no time flat, and you’ll want to, they’re in a TON of patterns. I apologize in advance for these colors. They’re pretty much clashing with everything else here… Start with 4 squares of fabric, all the same size. Take the squares on the left and flip them over so they are face down on top of the fabrics on the right. Using a 1/4″ seam allowance, sew both sets of two squares together using a straight stitch. They’ll look like this. Put your sewn squares on your ironing board without opening them. Press the seam allowance with a hot iron. See? Now, open up your pieces and lay them face down. Decide which way you will press your seam allowance. Press with hot iron. Pin. Press it.
A small bite of mondocherry crazy mom quilts: running in circles tutorial Thanks so much for all the kind comments on my running in circles quilt. I had so much fun making it! It was great to start and finish a quilt in one fell swoop. It's been quite awhile since I did that. I took photos along the way so I could share a tutorial. Materials Needed: 40 pieces of fabric at least 9" x 19"-a total of 5 yards (I used 36 different fabrics) 60" x 74" batting 3 1/2 yards backing fabric 1/2 yard binding fabric Special Tools: Elisa's Backporch 7" crazy curve acrylic templates A and B. Optional: rotating cutting mat Fold each piece of fabric in half, so you can cut 2 layers of fabric at once. After cutting, you should have 2 pieces of the outside curve and 2 pieces of the inside curve. Cut a total of 80 pieces of each. Assembly:All seam allowances are 1/4" throughout. Take a piece of fabric from each pile and pair up ALL your fabrics before you sew. Take one pair of fabrics and fold each piece in half. Match up the notches. Pin at the top and the bottom of the block.
