Honeycrisp and Confetti Dots

Earlier this year I made this cute little quilt for Dear Stella. It’s called “Marbles”, and it’s from the book “Simply Fat Quarters” by “It’s Sew Emma” — a very quick and easy quilt to make up, and it showcases their Honeycrisp prints so well.

My favorite piece in this collection is the Owl print, and it just so happened that I had enough scraps leftover after making the quilt to make this apron. I couldn’t resist! (The print I used for the trim is the Cobblestone print in Brown.)

If you want to make an apron like this, you can use this tutorial. All I did differently was add a pocket, and instead of using the tea towel, I just used my piece of fabric in that same size and hemmed the edges myself.

And My Cowboy loved the Twiggy print, so I made him a pillowcase:

I used both colors of the Twiggy print, with the Cobblestones print in Orange for my accent piping. I used this tutorial HERE to make the pillowcase. Fast, fun, easy, by Vanessa, the Crafty Gemini.

Then I got to make these adorable little whale pillows, designed by Margaret Cronin of Cecil & Clyde.

I used Stone and Peony Confetti Dots for this pillow:

And Blue and Cantaloupe Confetti Dots for this pillow:

The whales are famous! They got to be front and center in Dear Stella’s booth at Market in Portland last May.

I also got to use Dear Stella’s collection, Lola, to make this quilt:

The pattern is “White Stars”, and it can be found in the book “Skip the Borders” by Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts.

So there’s just a few of the things I’ve been working on this year. I hope you’re having a good and productive year of sewing, too!

   I love the whale pattern and am downloading it to offer to Makenzie. She loves fabric sculptures. And since my mother’s name was Lola, I really think I need to buy some of this collection. I’ll be trying to figure out where to shop for that.

   And kudoes to the Cowboy. I think the Twiggy fabrics are really fine. Lucky he gets such a place to lay his head.

   I am really, really impressed by this show of fabric and quilting talent. Keep up the good work.
