A Brilliant Cut Mini Quilt / Remix and GIVEAWAY

Hi Quilty Friends! I'm excited to part of Fat Quarter Shop Remix Blog Series! Today I'm remixing A Brilliant Cut Mini Quilt - yay!!! This project was perfect as my nephew and his finance were married on Saturday - they are just the cutest! 

My "Remix" A Brilliant Cut Changes

• Colors - I chose to change to Moda Bella Solids that matched the wedding colors. PS - I'm having an awesome GIVEAWAY on my Instagram account for a Moda Bella Fat Quarter Bundle from Fat Quarter Shop!!!
• Pillow option - I added a zipper backing so the couple can decide on mini quilt OR pillow.
• Size - My A Brilliant Cut Mini Quilt / Pillow is a 16"square so I could use a standard pillow insert plus I love the square!
• Hand Embroidery - I hand embroidered their wedding date with Cosmo Embroidery Floss. I love personalizing gifts!

A Brilliant Cut Mini Quilt is the perfect gift to give that special couple for a wedding or anniversary gift!

Driving Me Batty Tablerunner

Happy Halloween! I finished my Driving Me Batty Tablerunner just in time- yay!!!  Seriously these bats are too cute - way cuter than my real life experience with a bat ;). 

When I saw Fat Quarter Shop had The Spooky Box for sale - I quickly purchased it as their seasonal boxes sell out quickly! I love fabric and happy mail so it was a definite yes for me :). Plus I love decorating my home for holidays so I was hoping for something new to make!

I was so glad that the included fabric bundle was a mix of Riley Blake Designs collections: Fab-Boo-Lous, AND Cats, Bats, & Jacks, AND Blossom - it was perfect. I love non-spooky Halloween and this bundle was perfect! The awesome Drive Me Batty Pattern was exclusive to the box, but Fat Quarter Shop does have the fabric collections available: Fab-Boo-Lous, AND Cats, Bats, & Jacks, AND Blossom.

Seriously the fabrics are too spooky cute!!! The bats were super fun to piece too!!!

For the backing - I used some of my favorite Riley Blake Fab-Boo-Lous and Costume Maker's Ball prints for a fun scrappy backing - yay for sewing with scraps!

To make the Driving Me Batty Tablerunner - I made three not too spooky bats with tiny little blocks in the corner. It's a large tablerunner finishing at 13.5" x 60.5" - I love this size! Check out the included label that was included in The Spooky Box too!

Have a not too spooky Halloween!!!

Squad Ghouls - Wanda the Witch

Today I'm sharing a fun little stitching project I finished just in time for Halloween!!! When I saw the cute Squad Ghouls pattern by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery - I knew I needed it! Serious cuteness!

Wanda the Witch finishes as a cute little 5" x 6" pillow! It's perfect for my cute little monster tray. I'm hoping to finish her other friends for next year! 

I used this cute Fab-boo-lous Fabric by Riley Blake Designs for the pillow backing - it's perfect with the little witch hats and boots!

I just love this sweet little Wanda Witch!!!

Plus look how cute she is next to my Quaker Pumpkin (Quaker Pumpkin kit available here).
