And now on to the pins!
How yummy is this quilt? Rainbows and triangles - I'm totally in love! A good choice for using up those scraps, too.
Here's a nice geometric with straight lines and a bit of breathing room around everything. Love the use of the red and turquoise together with little hints of other colours mixed in subtly.
I'm looking at borrowing a friend's sewing machine over the summer so I can do some free motion quilting. I've not been able to have a go at it yet so I'm super excited and looking into simple tutorials like this one.
Have you heard about the Modern Quilt Guild? Perhaps you're already a member but if you're not, if you're a quilter and you love making modern quilts, this might be something that interests you. You can join either as a guild or individually.
How cute is this sewing machine cover? I love the patchwork and the pockets with the spool blocks are super cute. Pattern is available in the book advertised on the website.
And here's another one that uses selvages for a fun DIY pattern. Can you tell I've been looking into making a sewing machine cover for my new sewing corner?
NOTE: Okay, I honestly had a neat scrapbooking LO to feature but sadly, Blogger won't let me copy over the image and the site domain has expired and isn't working so... Computer says 'no'. :(
I just love the rainbow cross stitching on this card and of course, the very trendy Thickers by Amy Tan are fab, too. Super simple and attractive.
And some more stitching, this time on a map to highlight a location. Would be great for scrapbooking LOs about one's hometown, a travel destination, a card - so many possibilities!
OMG! Squee! Cuteness alert! Okay, now, I've said this plenty of times but I cannot knit to save my soul. But, these are just too darn cute to not pin so...
