Sewers Club - Snap & Go Fabric Clutch

 

Today I'm sharing the Snap & Go Fabric Clutch, which is the Sewers Club February project! This project is soooo awesome!  I love that there are card pockets PLUS two zippers, wrist strap, AND it holds your phone!

All of the supplies you need to make the Snap & Go Fabric Clutch are included in the Sewers Club Box - including an awesome instructional video! I highly recommend watching the video before starting your project as it is full of helpful tips! I like to watch the video and sew along - it's easy to pause and rewind/rewatch a step if needed!

I'll chat about quilting first ...so if you are only a stitcher - just scroll a bit for the stitching information. 

It is time for the first release for the Heartfelt Quilt and Stitch Along!!! Yay! We are making five of the Beloved Blocks. I love the hearts nestled in the star block! 

PS- $40,000 has already been raised for Make-A-Wish, which is amazing!  Fat Quarter Shop is releasing a bonus Heartfelt Table Runner pattern to celebrate (here) !!!!

As I'm making my Heartfelt Quilt with One Fine Day fabric, I was able to mix and match fabrics until I found my favorite combos! I'm totally smitten with this fabric!

The tiny little nine patch block is from some extra squares I accidentally cut ... oops. But this cute little oops is going to make the cutest little pincushion!

Heartfelt Quilt Along Details:

It is time for the 9th Annual Charity Quilt with Fat Quarter Shop! The way the fundraiser works is that Fat Quarter Shop offers the Heartfelt patterns as FREE downloads during the event for a suggested donation of $5 each to our Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas campaign.

Heartfelt Stitch Along Details

It is time for the first release for the Heartfelt Stitch Along!!! We will be stitching the outer border! Borders always make me a bit nervous because if I miscount - I will have to unpick and fix it - ick! So I decided to just stitch one border column first. Then when the second release is available, I will begin to stitch the hearts and make sure I didn't make a counting oops on the border.

I wasn't quite sure if the Tabby floss would have enough contrast with the white fabric, but I think it will be great as I didn't want it too dark.

Heartfelt Stitch Along Details

The way the fundraiser works is that Fat Quarter Shops offers the Heartfelt patterns as FREE downloads during the event for a suggested donation of $20 for the whole cross stitch pattern to our Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas campaign. No amount is too small and every bit counts.

Sunrise Quilt - Enchanted Meadows

Hi Quilty Friends! I'm excited to share my Sunrise Quilt with the gorgeous Enchanted Meadow Fabric Collection designed by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake Designs. Once I saw all the cute woodland animals - I knew this collection would need a quilt pattern with large blocks so the fabric would shine. My Sunrise Quilt Pattern is the perfect match!

Sunrise Quilt Pattern HERE

I'm often asked how I achieve matching points in my quilts. My quilting secret is the Riley Blake Designs Quilter's or Tailor's Clapper for pressing plus I use my AccuQuilt GO! dies for cutting perfect pieces.

Sunrise Quilt pattern is written for traditional rotary cutting and sewing - but I also share the AccuQuilt Die Sizes if you are an AccuQuilt fan too ;). 

Sunrise Quilt with border 77" x 77"

Supplies:

• Sunrise Quilt PDF Pattern - PayHip Pattern Shop or Etsy
• 18 Fat Quarters - Enchanted Meadows designed by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake Designs
• 2 yards Background - Confetti Cottons Bleached Denim by Riley Blake Designs
• 2.5 yards Sashing and Block -  Enchanted Meadows Boquet Vintage White designed by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake Designs
• 0.75 yard Binding -  Enchanted Meadows Main Songbird designed by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake Designs
• 1.5 yards Border -  Enchanted Meadows Forest Friends Denim designed by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake Designs
• 5 yards Backing

Optional

• Bloc-loc half square triangle for block trimming OR
• AccuQuilt GO! 12" Qube

For perfectly sized half-square triangles - I recommend trimming your blocks with a Bloc-loc half-square triangle ruler OR using the appropriately sized AccuQuilt Die. Having perfectly sized blocks makes piecing your quilt so much easier!

I loved selecting two coordinating Enchanted Meadow prints for each Sunrise Quilt block. My favorite print is the Enchanted Meadows Forest Animals print...I absolutely love the cute critters. Plus I love that I can fussy cut the center of the Sunrise Blocks, which is perfect for focusing your favorite bits of fabric. Fussy Cutting Tips - on my blog here.

I chose to add a border to my Sunrise Quilt because I love love love the Enchanted Meadow Forest Animal print ... the deer, fox, rabbit, hedgehog, and florals are just too cute! Adding a border to your quilt is the perfect way to show your favorite print AND make your quilt larger for cuddling with! 

OPTIONAL Outer Border Instructions

The original Sunrise Quilt doesn't have a border, but adding an outer border is super easy! 

• Choose 1.5 yards of your favorite print - mine is: 
• Cut (8) 5.5" x WOF strips
• Sew strips together to form one very long narrow strip
• Measure quilt length. Example Quilt Length of 66.5"*. Cut (2) outer border strips 5.5" x 66.5"*. Sew (1) outer border strip to right side of quilt and (1) outer border strip to left side of quilt.
• Measure quilt width. Example Quilt Width of 77"*. Cut (2) outer border strips 5.5" x 77"*. Sew (1) outer border stripe to top of quilt and (1) outer border strip to bottom of quilt.

* Cut your border strips to the measured length and width of your quilt.

Binding Cutting Instructions if adding Border:

• Cut (8) 2.5" x WOF of binding fabric.

I'm definitely ready for spring as my Enchanted Meadow Sunrise Quilt is perfect for picnics! 

Enchanted Meadow Fabric will be shipping to your favorite quilt shop in February (HERE)

January Sewers Club Box

 

Today I'm sharing my adaptation of the  Mini Ruffle Makeup Bag using the Sewers Club January Box! The Mini Ruffle Makeup Bag is a bonus pattern from a previous Sewers Club Box and is also available on the Sewers Club website if you missed that box.  I love this pattern so much that I wanted to make it again!

The Sewers Club January project is the Wine Bottle Bag with Gift Card Pocket, which is a great gift.  As my family doesn't drink wine, I chose to use the fabulous fabric to make the Mini Ruffle Makeup Bag a bit bigger. I'll share more about my alternate project - keep on reading ;)

Let's chat about the January Sewers Club Box -

All of the supplies you need to make the Wine Bottle Bag with Gift Card Pocket are included in the Sewers Club Box - including an awesome instructional video! I highly recommend watching the video before starting your project as it is full of helpful tips! I like to watch the video and sew along - it's easy to pause and rewind/rewatch a step if needed!

Let's take a look at the Sewers Club - January Box Contents:

• Fusible Fleece
• Mini Stash 'n Store
• Silver Handmade Tag
• Gutterman Sew-All Thread
• Wine Bottle Bag with Gift Card Pocket Pattern PLUS full instructional video

Optional Add-on Notion

• Klasse Needles

More about the Mini Ruffle Makeup Bag -

The smaller Mini Ruffle Makeup Bag in the Summers End fabric (purple) is the actual size for the pattern, but after I made that bag... I thought I would it would be fun to make the bag larger as I had 2 fat quarters from the January box. I cut the pattern pieces larger and it all worked out - phew! 

All of the supplies were in the Sewers Club - January Box except I added a zipper and Mini Ruffle Makeup Bag Pattern from my stash.  I love this bag!!!
