Embroidery Projects

January 21, 2023   By Becca Leave a Comment

Kimberbell Candy Cane Lane Machine Embroidery Bench Pillow

About a year ago I started really getting into machine embroidery. I took a class at my local quilt shop (Quilting Mayhem) and I was hooked. Machine embroidery makes everything look so much more professional than traditional embroidery. I realize that there is a lot more talent involved in traditional embroidery, but WOW… I really love the way these projects have turned out. A lot of the Kimberbell machine embroidery projects have places for fairy lights, which make the finished product absolutely adorable. The project, shown above, is the Kimberbell Candy Cane Lane machine embroidery bench pillow. I bought the fabric kit and the embellishment kit for this project. I’m not a huge fan of pink, and I don’t have any aqua in my house, but I just loved the finished look, so I couldn’t pass it up.

Kimberbell 2 Scoops Machine Embroidery Bench Pillow

I worked on the Kimberbell 2 Scoops machine embroidery bench pillow over this past summer. Again, I don’t love pink and I don’t own anything else in blue, pale green, or aqua, but how can you say no to the color combinations in this pillow. Doesn’t it just scream SUMMMER? This was the fabric kit and embellishment kit for 2 Scoops. The best part about this project is the ice cream truck. There is a little pocket sewn into the back side of the ice cream truck that holds a music box. If you push on the speaker that is on the top of the ice cream truck it will play music that sounds like it’s coming from an ice cream truck.

Kimberbell Sweet As Pie Machine Embroidery Bench Pillow

I finished making the Kimberbell Sweet As Pie machine embroidery bench pillow well after Thanksgiving. (Back to school season is a little crazy when you are a kindergarten teacher.) The fabric kit for this project included a lot of purple and did not have red. I shopped my fabric stash and pulled a few different red fabrics. I love the color combination and was sad to put this pillow away so quickly after it was made, but it was time to move onto Christmas decorating.

Kimberbell Spring Showers Machine Embroidery Wall Quilt

The Kimberbell Spring Showers machine embroidery wall quilt was one of the first projects I completed when I really started in with machine embroidery. It was a loooong project. This was supposed to be a seasonal wall hanging, but it’s been up all year, since the only time you see it is when you walk down the stairs.

You might have noticed a theme when it comes to my love of the Kimberbell machine embroidery projects. I truly think they are the best “project kits” out there. I have ventured out on my own machine embroidery projects. I saw a really cute pillow on Pinterest, so I decided to make the Christmas pillow in the picture below. I just used the font that was already on my machine and did a little patchwork piecing with some Christmas fabrics that I had on hand.

I have spent a lot of time, over the past year, making kitchen towels. They are the easiest things to make. The coffee embroidery project, below, took a lot more time than most of my towels because I needed to change the color of thread so often.

My husband was little worried when I made the Bunny Snacks embroidery kitchen towel. He thought that because we have a bunny, I was going to embroider bunnies on everything. This was only an Easter embroidery project and now it’s back in my kitchen drawer until next Easter.

I’ll have to post about my embroidery machine and the process that it takes to complete embroidery projects soon. Until then, happy stitching!

Moda Salt Air Quilting Projects

February 8, 2022   By Becca Leave a Comment

I can remember a time in my sewing life, when I walked into a Joann store and said to myself, “I don’t understand why anyone would shop at one of those fancy quilt stores, when you have all these choices at Joann AND you can use your coupon!”
Those were the good old days.  I’ve found, over the years, that I have become a fabric snob.  I still shop at Joann.  I still use my coupons.  But, a specialty quilt shop is my happy place.  I’ve even started stalking some of the Moda fabric blogs to see the new lines that will be coming out.  I love how a fabric line will have 20+ different fabrics that all coordinate.  I can pick and choose my look, but know that it all goes together.  It takes the guess work out of fabric selection.  Not only that, but the quality of Moda (my favorite) fabrics is so much higher.  It makes a much nicer quilt, I must say, when you are working with a higher quality fabric.
A few summers ago, we were in a small little town in Eastern Washington.  We were just passing through, and had stopped for lunch. When I spotted the quilt shop across the street, I couldn’t resist.  I bought a few fabrics from the Salt Air line.  Here’s a peek at some of the projects they’ve been turned into.
So far, there are two quilts.  I played around with different designs on a computer quilting program I have, and came up with these.  I can’t tell you how much fun I had designing my own quilts.
I made a bunch of floor pillows too.  Our family room has comfy seating for about 3 people.  After that, it’s pillows and blankets on the floor.  Joann (see I do still shop there) sells giant 27″ square pillow inserts.  I make all of my pillows with zipper enclosures so I can trade the covers out.  I like to change my look with the seasons.  The Moda Salt Air fabrics are definitely going to be my Summer look.
I think I may even take these quilts to the beach with us, and snap a few pictures.  How can you resist taking pictures of projects made with Salt Air, when you’re at the beach.  (Ok, that just shows how incredibly dorky I am.)

Happy fabric shopping!

By the way, if you’re a quilter but have not ventured into a quilt shop, it’s time.  Go in, browse around, and pick a line that jumps out to you.  Moda is my favorite brand.  I love the Moda fabrics designed by French General, V and Co., Fig Tree, and Camille Roskelley.  Ask the nice ladies in the shop to show you where those are.  You may just find your happy place too! Personally, I’ll be at Quilting Mayhem, in Snohomish.

Salt Air Summer Projects

June 28, 2016   By Becca Leave a Comment

I can remember a time in my sewing life, when I walked into a Joann store and said to myself, “I don’t understand why anyone would shop at one of those fancy quilt stores, when you have all these choices at Joann AND you can use your coupon!”

Quilt Binding 101

November 25, 2015   By Becca Leave a Comment

 When I got the urge to start this quilt, the fabric had been sitting on my sewing table for quite a while and I really had no plans for it, so a quilt seemed like a good choice.  I wanted something simple and mindless.  I wasn’t in the mood to think too hard about measurements and fabric placement.  I just wanted to sew.  I came up with a VERY simple quilt top, which I figured I’d try free motion quilting on.  I wasn’t too excited about the free motion quilting part of that idea, so when I finished, the quilt tops sat there for about half of the year.  Finally, I decided it was time to get these quilts out of the craft room and into the family room.  While I was at it, I took pictures of the quilt binding process.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn to bind a quilt, here’s the step by step tutorial.  If you really don’t care, please don’t waste your time reading this, because it’s very picture heavy.

I use 2 1/2 inch strips when I make quilt bindings.  I use a cutting mat, rotary cutter, and quilting ruler to make sure my strips are perfect.

 

Once the strips are cut, it’s time to join them together.  I place two pieces (right sides together) and sew from corner to corner.  I overlapped a little on the ends of each piece because I knew I’d cut that part off.  You can draw a line to follow if you’d like, but I just eyeball it.


Cut off the extra fabric.

When you open in up, it looks like this.  Press the seams to one side and then keep adding more strips in the same way.

Next, you need to iron your fabric.  In the past I would fold my fabric, wrong sides together, finger press it down, and then iron it.  It’s not hard and it’s not too time consuming, but then I spotted this cool contraption on a quilting show on PBS. (There I go again, admitting that I spend my spare time watching sewing shows on public television. Nerd alert!)  This is a binding maker from Singer.  It is so cool! It folds, presses, and spits out perfect quilt binding in about 2 minutes. 


It comes out of the machine perfectly pressed.  That little piece on the end is the iron. It has a little roller in it so everything is automatic.  If you sew, you know how cool this is!  It even makes piping, although I haven’t tried that yet.  Ok, so if you don’t have this cool machine, just fold the fabric in half and iron.  That’s the way I have made it for the past 15 years and it works just fine. 

Just one more picture of my fun new toy doing its thing.

Ok, maybe just one more.  See how it fold the fabric for you before going into the iron.  You can get that tip in other sizes too.  It’s “sew” much fun!

When you’re done pressing, you’ll have a pile of quilt binding.  Get ready to sew.

The first thing I do is trim my starting edge at an angle.

Then I open it up and fold it back.

When you close the fabric back up, it gives you a clean edge.

To start binding my quilts, I usually don’t start at a corner.  I just pick somewhere in the middle, at the bottom, and line my binding fabric up.  You’ll notice that I have the raw edge of my quilt lined up with the raw edge of my binding fabric. The over hanging fabric is my quilt batting, and you can’t see it but the backing fabric is there too.


Line the presser foot up along the edge of the fabric, backtack a few stitches and then start sewing a straight line.
 

When you get just about to the end, maybe a quarter of an inch away, backstitch about an inch.

Pull the binding fabric back on top of itself, so it folds into a 45 degree angle.

Then, fold it back on top of itself, lining the edge up with the next side you need to sew.

I know that’s kind of tricky.  Let’s try that one more time.  I’m close to the edge.


Backstitch an inch.

Fold.

Fold and line up with the new side.

Then, you can lift your presser foot, turn your quilt, and get ready to sew the next side.
 

When you get to the end, turn the fabric under again, like you did at the beginning.  That gives it a nice clean edge.


Finish sewing the binding down. 

Hey, look at that!  Someone got a pretty new cutting mat!  I really needed a new cutting mat and found this one in red.  I’ve never seen a red cutting mat before, but I’m loving it!

I use my ruler and rotary cutter to remove the extra batting and backing fabric.  I line the quilt ruler up along the edge of the binding fabric and cut.  This still leaves that 1/4 inch seam allowance.  Don’t cut that off, because it’s what makes the binding fluffly.

When you’re done trimming, the quilt will look like this.


Flip the quilt to the back side, roll the fabric around the edge and pin.  I really hate pinning, so I only do it when I really have to.  The first couple of times you bind a quilt, you’ll want to pin.  After that, just hold it with your fingers and go for it.

When you are sewing the binding down, you want to get REALLY close to the edge.  See how my needle is right next to the edge of the binding fabric.  I want to go right along that edge.  It takes some practice.
 

When you get to a corner, you’ll need to fold the fabric.


It makes a nice mitered corner. When you get to the point, put the needle down into the fabric, and turn the quilt so you can keep sewing.

Keep going all the way around the quilt.

Here’s my finished quilt.  I can’t say I’m in love with it.  I love the fabrics, but I’m a little bored with the finished product.  

I did get to try my hand at machine quilting.  I made the swirly patterns in the big squares, which is something I’ve never done before.

I made two of these quilts and put them over the chairs in my family room.  They add a little color and I’m happy about that.  If you’re working on a quilt of your own, I’d love to see it.  You can email me a picture at homeiswheremystorybegins@gmail.com.

Happy quilting!

Farm Girl Vintage Baking Day and Canning Season

October 30, 2015   By Becca Leave a Comment

My Farm Girl Vintage quilt project is just in the beginning days, but I have two blocks finished!  I started with my two favorites.

The Baking Day block was the one that caught my eye on Instagram and I just couldn’t resist! Throw in a vintage rolling pin and sifter, and it makes a pretty cute photo too (except for the lack of daylight, making an exceptionally dark photo).

The Canning Season block was just too cute to pass up.  

The blocks were very simple to make.  I wouldn’t call it a beginning quilt, but it’s a good project for an intermediate quilter.
There are so many blocks to choose from.  I can’t decide which one to do next!  I think it will either be the chicken or the barn block.
I may need a few more vintage fabrics in the the red color family, but these were a pretty good start.
I’m in love with this quilt and can’t wait until I get a few free minutes to sew.  How could you NOT get sucked in?  The combination of vintage fabrics and country farm girl vintage quilt blocks is just too much to resist!

Happy sewing!

Farm Girl Vintage Quilt

October 14, 2015   By Becca Leave a Comment

The other day I ran across a photo on Instagram of a quilt block that made my heart go pitter patter.  It was a quilt block that looked like bowls and a wooden spoon.  I absolutely had to know where this came from.  I tracked it down to a book called Farm Girl Vintage and now I have a new quilting project in the works.
The Farm Girl Vintage quilt is made of a variety of different blocks and I think it will be so much fun to make these.  There are several styles that I don’t have any experience with, so this will be a good challenge for me.
I have a few vintage fabrics, but also picked up a couple of new fat quarters at my local quilt shop.  When I told the ladies at the quilt shop which quilt I was making, one of them said, “Oh, you got sucked in too, huh?”

How could you NOT get sucked in?  The combination of vintage fabrics and country farm girl vintage quilt blocks is just too much to resist!

I can’t wait to get started!  I think I’ll make that cute bowls and wooden spoon block first.
Happy sewing!

The Tween Bedroom Makeover

October 13, 2015   By Becca Leave a Comment

Just when we had my daughter’s bedroom all organized, the bedroom furniture in place, and the new quilt made, we were given Great Grandma’s bedroom set.  It’s good problem because the bedroom set is beautiful and my daughter loves having a bigger bed. 
Today we moved the picture wall to the opposite side of the room.  Last week I bought a new comforter for the bed. I didn’t even let me daughter go shopping with me.  I knew it had to match her quilt and look good with her bedding because I wasn’t even going to consider repainting.  The gray in the comforter is the same gray that is in the quilt.  It’s the softest comforter you could ever imagine, so she wasn’t too sad that I didn’t let her pick her own bedding.
While decorating her room, it’s hard for me to keep in mind that she’s still eleven years old.  Even though the picture frames and bulletin board don’t really look the best with a beautiful bedroom set like this one, they still get to stay.  

Will you just look at this beautiful sleigh bed?

The bookshelves above this dresser will need to move eventually, to make room for the mirror that goes along with the set.  Plus, she can’t actually reach the books.  The poster of the puppy dog, thumb-tacked to the wall, gets to stay too… against my better judgement.

Here’s the second dresser in the set.  It’s so pretty. All of the special treasures on top of the dresser got to stay too.  Everyone needs a magic 8 ball, a lava lamp, and a piggy bank colored with Sharpie markers.

The quilt doesn’t actually fit on the bed anymore, but it makes a nice throw.

Oh, and I’d like you to meet Paul.  He is the largest stuffed animal I’ve ever seen in my life and he lives at my house.  Paul gets to stay too.

Happy redecorating!

My Favorite Sewing Blogs

September 23, 2015   By Becca Leave a Comment

There are some months that I sew several times each week.  September is not one of those months.  In September, I’m flooded with back-to-school-ness, curriculum nights, and just trying to survive the energy of 20+ five year olds.  I’m needing a little sewing inspiration and motivation to break out the sewing machine again!  (It’s inching close to October and then I have no excuse!) To help get myself going, I’m revisiting an old post about my favorite sewing blogs.  Enjoy.
************************
Have I mentioned how much I love to sew?

 I have a lot of hobbies, but I think sewing has to be my favorite.  I love the fact that I can see some expensive drapes, or an over priced pillow, and whip up something similar at a fraction of the price. I don’t particularly like sewing clothes.  Garment construction frustrates me.  My favorite projects are always quilts.  

I’m not sure how I would describe my quilting style.  I love traditional blocks and have several antique quilts around my house, but I’m totally drawn to the newer fabrics.  I could spent hours in my local quilt shop picking out fabrics and planning quilt tops in my head.  When I hear the word “modern” I think about sharp edges, straight lines, and dark fabric that makes a statement.  So, when I hear the term “modern quilter” I tend to shudder a bit.  That’s definitely not my style.  But, over the past few years, I’ve been seeing “modern quilting” in a different light… a bright and airy light!  I now think of modern quilting as updated, fresh, on-trend, and a new spin on old favorites.  That’s how I see these ladies, below.  They are my sewing idols.  They have both recently published books, which I have in my library, and I find so much inspiration from their blogs as well.
First up, I’d like to introduce you to Camille Roskelley, who is the author of the blog Simplify  (and two books).  If this were my sewing room, I can assure you I would never leave.  Will you just look at that fabric wall!  This is a quilters dream come true!
http://www.camilleroskelley.typepad.com/
Camille is also a fabric designer for Moda and a Craftsy instructor.  Maybe that’s how she gets all of those fat quarter bundles and jelly rolls!

http://www.camilleroskelley.typepad.com/

I’ve been inspired by Camille’s patterns and photos of quilts she has made.  My biggest take-away has been to use more solids in my background. I think it gives quilts a modern look, but keeps the light and bright feel.  I’ve been using solid white, solid cream, or solid tan lately on my quilts and I’m loving the way they are turning out.  The Swoon quilt, below, will be one of my next quilts.  Camille teaches this one in her Craftsy class.  I’m hoping to get started over Christmas break.

In one of Camille’s books, she mentioned that the actual quilting part is her favorite step in making a quilt.  Well, that’s always been my least favorite step, so she’s inspired me to give in another try.  I’ll let you know how it goes.  I hope it turns out half as beautiful as the quilting on Swoon!

http://www.camilleroskelley.typepad.com/

Allison Harris is the author of the Cluck, Cluck, Sew blog, and she also has a new book out.  The title of her book is Growing Up Modern.  Again, it’s taken a bit of getting used to, but I like referring to the quilts that Allison and Camille do, as modern.  Allison’s quilts have the same light and bright feel that Camille’s do.  I love her use of white solids for the background fabrics.

I really enjoy it when the authors of blogs share a bit about their personal lives.  It helps me get to know them as people, rather than just getting to know their art/craft/project.  A while back, Allison’s family got a bunny and she’s been sharing photos.  Being a bunny owner myself,  I suddenly liked her even more.  (I can’t even begin to tell you how experiences raising animals enrich a child’s life!)

My heart melted a little when she shared pictures of her bunny’s babies. Ummm, seriously, is there anything cuter than these little guys?

http://www.cluckclucksew.com/

I just want to scoop them up and snuggle them!

Allison designs patterns, writes books, quilts, and snuggles bunnies and her own kids in her spare time.  Here’s a great example of a modern quilt, using the latest fabrics.  Doesn’t this look like something you’d love to curl up under while watching a movie? I love her use of color.  It’s still light and bright, put it’s not pastel.  The white background really helps accentuate the colors in the hashtags.


http://www.cluckclucksew.com/

The picture, below, might just illustrate why she could be my BFF.  Take a look at this organization!  Ahh.  I hear angels singing.


http://www.cluckclucksew.com/

I’m off to go organize my fabric stash or pile some little squares of fabric!

Happy quilting!

Sewing With Salt Air Fabrics

March 23, 2015   By Becca Leave a Comment

Yesterday, I wrote about not being quite ready to let go of the Winter quilts and pillows.  Maybe it was because it was a cold and rainy day, and I just wanted to cuddle up under a quilt with a good book.  On the next sunny day, I think I’ll be ready to bring these out.  

I do love the bright and cheerful colors.  For all of these projects I used Moda’s Salt Air line.  They are such happy fabrics!
I will admit, there was a time in my life when I couldn’t imagine buying fabric at a quilt shop.  The big fabric store chains were just fine for me and made a pretty quilt.  Then, I discovered Moda Fabrics.  Sigh.  They’re so pretty.  I just love the way there is an entire line of fabric with 40 prints that are meant to go together.  It’s just so cohesive and makes my wanna-be-artistic-style easier to achieve.

I used the fabric for more than just quilts and pillows.  There were lots of summertime kid projects with Salt Air too.

Now, maybe if we could get a little sunshine around here, I could get in the mood to decorate for Spring!
Happy Spring sewing and decorating!

A Not-So Springy Quilt

March 22, 2015   By Becca 1 Comment

I know it’s time to put my winter quilts away and bring out the Springy quilts, but this one doesn’t seem too Winter-ish.

It’s Spring cleaning time and I’m thinking about rotating my seasonal decor.  Quilts are my favorite things to change out.  I usually leave a big basket filled with almost all of my quilts in my family room, in case of a chilly night on the deck when we have company over.  In addition, I have one or two draped over the back of a chair or hanging off the side of the couch.  I rotate those, seasonally, along with my floor pillow covers.  This is one of my Winter quilts.  There’s really no reason that I call it a Winter quilt.  The colors are pretty neutral and the fabrics are not season-specific.  For some reason, it just says Winter to me.

This quilt was my first jellyroll project.  I fell in love with the colors of this jellyroll, the minute I saw it.  I had no idea what I would make, but I just loved this fabric.

When I ran across this book, I knew my problems were solved.  I bought the book and picked out a pattern.  The pattern I chose was not something I would normally pick.  It was very random, and I tend to like a more predictable pattern.

What do you think?  Is this a Winter quilt, or can it stay out a bit longer?
 

  It’s cozy, just the right colors, and looks great in my family room.  Maybe just a few more months.

Happy Spring decorating… unless you’re not quite ready yet.
