Scrappy Irish Chain ~ Free Pattern by Jessie Fincham

I have sewed other Irish Chain patterns in the past

but this version is a new one to me and I am adding it to my files.  

I have not decided yet if I will be sewing along this time, 

but I have many, many 2.5" square scraps that need to be sewn into a quilt.

Hmmm ... this is a maybe.

I shall finish the baby quilt that I have in the works

and see what I sew next.

 I do <3 Irish Chain Quilts.

Escape to Tilda's World

 

Sometimes I just like to escape to

 Tilda's World

It is a place filled with fantastic fabric quilts and friends.

The new fabric line is Woodland and it is lovely.

It coordinates well with older Tilda Fabric lines.

I have not bought any of the last three new lines 

but I may buy me a few half-yards of the whimsical forest critters

to add to my existing stash.

Here is the Woodland Catalogue

There are several new adorable Free Patterns like these pillow and quilt.

All Free Tilda Patterns May Be Found Here

It is still bitterly cold here and we are expecting a storm coming our way

 that may bring a foot or two of snow in the next few days, 

so I have enjoyed my visit to the warm Woodland forest.

May you stay safe and warm.

Enjoy!

Jelly Glazed Hearts ~ Fat Quarter Shop Quiltalong

At last I can show this lovely tablerunner.

This is a free pattern!

Jelly Glazed Heats Post on the Jolly Jabber ~ Click Here

This is a long runner and will be a good size for my dining table 

at home. Here it is on my daughter's table for four

 in her bright dining nook. 

It is a two sided table runner.

For the backing I cut This Panel from the

Home Collection by Kathy Schmitz for Moda Fabrics.
This Home Jelly Roll may be found here

For the background I chose this speckled
Creamy Rice Paper for the Home Collection

I used a half yard of This Fabric to complete the back of the quilt.

Photos do not do this fabric justice.

This color is so warm that it glows golden.

This fabric is not metallic,

though it almost looks it.

For my quilting thread I chose King Tut "Sahara Shadows"
which is a lovely variegated thread that is shades or brown to gold.
I have had this large spool for a few years and have used it on a few other projects.

For  quilting the center of the heart blocks,

I used freezer paper templates.

Click Here for How To Quilt Using this Method

I cut one large one and stitched around it on all four heart blocks and then I cut it down three times to make the graduated hearts.

When using these templates I press them onto the fabric with a medium heat for a temporary hold.

For tips on how I quilted the candleflames at the top of the hearts and the straight
line quilting Click Here

My binding fabric is a half yard of this wonderful
Slate Column from the Home Collection

I stitch around the motif, 

not on the paper.

For the border I did straight line stitching with my 

walking foot.

I love this limited neutral palette.

which is far from my usual fabric choices.

I have a lot of jelly roll and am planning to make

a throw quilt to match my table runner .

Thanks for visiting me today.

I hope you enjoy making your own

Jelly Glazed Hearts quilt.
