Timber Quilt - Love You S'more

Hi Quilty Friends! Today I’m excited to share my Timber Quilt featuring the newest collection designed by Gracey Larson - Love You S'more. 

Timber Quilt Pattern - PayHip Pattern Shop or Etsy

"Crackling campfires, fresh pine, warm mugs, long hikes, colorful wildflowers, and cozy quilts ... you are invited on this camping adventure." Gracey Larson - designer of Love You S'more.

The colors and prints are perfection for projects inspired by the great outdoors!

 

The Timber Quilt pattern is a beginner friendly pattern that focuses on the prints from the Love You S'more collection as no background fabric is needed for this quilt! All you need is (42) 10" squares plus border fabric!

The Timber Quilt uses all (42) 10" squares in a 10" Stacker. Plus the Timber Quilt is block based, so you can easily adjust the size of the quilt by making more or less blocks. Each Timber block requires one 10" x 10" square.

Make it Mini Book - Stepping Stones plus GIVEAWAY

Hello! Today I'm sharing my Stepping Stones Mini Quilt from the fabulous - Make it Mini Book by Beverly McCullough.  I love that Beverly added hand embroidery to each of the 13 small quilts in her latest book ... the hand embroidery gives each project the sweetest extra touch! Don't worry if you are new to hand embroidery (like me) as Beverly has included instructions in her book.

Make it Mini Book - available at Fat Quarter Shop or Amazon

I chose to make the Stepping Stones Quilt as I love patchwork and the little squares were perfect for using a variety of prints from Enchanted Meadows - a fabric collection designed by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake Designs. Yes - Beverly is quite the talented gal!!!

A close up to my hand embroidery is must share as I love this flower ... it's gorgeous. This was my first time stitching this floral design. Plus the coordinating Woodland Birdie needle minder is just so sweet (PS - the needle minder is also designed by Beverly)

I absolutely love to use Sulky 12 wt Cotton Thread for hand embroidery or cross stitch - it's my favorite. I chose to use 2 strands of Sulky 12wt for the hand embroidery.  [ 2 strands of Sulky 12wt Cotton  =  4 strands of DMC ]

Stepping Stones Mini Quilt 19.5" x 19.5"

Supplies - clickable links below

• Make it Mini Book - available at Fat Quarter Shop or Amazon
• Enchanted Meadow Fabric Collection designed by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake Designs
• Sulky 12wt Cotton Thread - colors Moss Green #0630,  Dk Mauve #1119,  Pastel Pink #1225
• Woodland Birdie needle minder designed by Beverly McCullough
• Clover Hand Embroidery Needles

Optional Zipper Backing:

I love to add a zipper backing to my Mini Quilts so I can easily add a pillow insert and my Mini Quilt becomes a Pillow - yay!

Plus I have an Exposed Zipper Tutorial - here.

 

I so enjoyed creating my Stepping Stones Mini Quilt. It was so fun to combine piecing, quilting, and hand embroidery in one project! I love learning new skills!!! 

Be sure to look for the Giveaway image on Instagram @ABitofScrapStuff later today for a chance to win  the fabulous: Make it Mini Book by Beverly McCullough.
