Pillow covers can be such quick, satisfying projects. The improv quilted pillows have certainly proven to be just that. After I trimmed and squared up the fronts, I made a simple envelope style back. I had only purchased one yard of the circle fabric so I didn’t have quite enough to make the entire back out of it, but I…
I’ve been working on a fun and easy project. A while ago I came across this fabric and knew immediately that I wanted to quilt around those circles and then make something out of it. I needed a couple of pillows to rest our backs against when we’re sitting in the bar stools using our computers. So I cut 19″…

And then when she came out with the adorable Mini Spools version, that went on the list too. This past week, she had a 25% off sale on all her patterns so I decided it was a good time…
Over the next six weeks I’ll be sharing with you the most adorable patterns to make blocks for a baby or small child’s quilt. For a baby quilt, embroider them on 10″ squares. For a larger quilt, embroider them on 13″ squares. (The blocks will be squared up to 9 1/2″ and 12 1/2″ respectively after stitching is complete.) Each…
