Finishing the Cupcake Pillow

Hopefully everyone has finished embroidering their cupcakes embroidery.  I have to admit that my mojo is dwindling.  I am not sure if it is because I have been inside for so long or not.  But I am going to finish this project because I really do not need another unfinished project.

Step #1

Trim your cupcake blocks to 4 .5" , centering the cupcake.  I trimmed mine to 5" because I was not trimming down my charm squares.  Arange your cupcake blocks and accent blocks .




Step #2

With right sides together sew row #1, then #2, then #3 and press each row towards the accent block.  Then sew all rows together and press seams.  I changed my mind and move a few of the blocks around.





Complete the pillow following the Kimberbell directions or mix it up and change it to a wallhanging or a bench pillow.  I am thinking about embroidering on it for my granddaughter's 5th birthday next month.  Be Creative and share your ideas.  Send me a picture and I will add it to this post.

Here is our super awesome Cathy's pillow front.  No embroidery, but traitional appliqué.  Looks like she will be quilting the pillow top.



Kudos to Anna C for finishing her cupcake pillow. She added quilted hearts to each accent block and I love her cupcake backing. 



I hope you enjoyed this Sew Along.  The Serger Sew Along has been replaced.  Oh no!  No worries- it will reappear as soon as I can get my act together.😄

In the meantime, I am going to start the Fort Worth Mystery Quilt on Monday and you can follow along with me as I attempt to make a small quilt.  It probably should be called the Good, the Bad and the oh so ugly! ...we'll see.



This is the fabric kit they are working with but I will share my fabric choices starting Monday.  You may be surprised- hint it is not red,white and black.

Say Hello to August!

As the summer comes to an end and school starts up again, it should feel like fall, but not here in Florida!  My next workshop is reminiscent of our memories of summer with trips to the beach. The layouts will feature the Country Woods paper pack along with the Seaside Wishes stamp set and dies.   I will mix in the Cape Cod scrapbooking stamp set from Close to My Heart because it matches so well with the theme. Sun and fun activities are the themes of the August layouts, and the grandchildren had a great time at both St. Augustine and Clearwater beaches.

Day 12 of Christmas Stitching

Day 12 - A quick and easy gift idea is this napkin holder made from an 'in the hoop' quilt block. This is the Diva class for December and the class for Saturday has been changed to December 22nd.  So there is still time to sign up and finish it before Christmas. This napkin holder starts as a basic 8" block found in the Quilt selection of my icon.  I then added the Star #4 design from the Holiday selection of the machine.  I rotated it and centered it within the block. I love all of the selections in the Holiday category of the icon. You have already seen a number of them stitched up in previous posts these twelve days. I had a small class this morning but both of them finished their project and I even had time to take a picture. Jennifer G used a new gold metallic fabric as the  center design along with the flower B94 on the Epic. This size fits a package of store bought napkins perfectly. Ondrea D design is a combination of Basic Grey fa...
