Charm pack wall hanging

When Fat Quarter Shop issued the #charmpackchallenge (on Instagram) to make a quilt with #justacharmpack, I couldn't resist and knew immediately what I was going to make. There is something so fun about making a quilt with just a charm pack. Charm packs roughly split between lights and darks work best for a quilt like this. It finishes at about 24" square and makes a quick table topper quilt or small wall hanging quilt. The process to make this quilt is fairly straightforward. Match squares…

My quiltings goals for summer 2022 were perhaps lofty. Some still sit here in a little stack waiting for their moment (not to worries, lovelies; your moment will come) and some, through sheer grit and determination, shine on a bit in finished glory. Making with Stitched by Fig Tree & Co. for Moda Fabrics was an absolutely must for this summer. With just a charm pack (5" squares), a bit of border, and some background a new barn quilt for the wall is made. I'm pleased to introduce Charming…

When I began percolating ideas for Moda Fabrics #charmpackchallenge2023 a charm pack of I Believe In Angels was what I really wanted to make with but thought its small prints might make it too busy for making #justacharmpack little quilt. But, I wanted to make with it so badly that I forged ahead. This #justacharmpack quilt doesn't have a pattern. It is literally just charm pack squares, no background, sewn in pairs to make half-square triangles (HSTs). The general idea is to pair lights and…

Do you have some charm packs laying around that have yet to be used? Why not stitch up one of these charm pack quilt patterns from awesome designers?

Hi friends, I am back. We finally got a new laptop, after being without one for almost a month. I've been able to keep up with the shop through my iPod Touch, which was a Christmas gift from my sweet husband. But besides that, I have been MIA. Blogging on that little screen was just not going to happen. Truthfully, I have not been doing too much sewing. I think the winter blahs have hit the house, you know? This table quilt was an afternoon project earlier on in the week. I used a full charm…

Barn quilts intrigue me. They always catch my eye when I'm out driving about. Whenever I see a barn quilt I'm reminding of growing up in the farm country of northwest Illinois near the Mississippi River. When you see a barn quilt, do you ever wonder why the farming family settled on that particular block and colors? I do. Does it mean something particular or special to them? As a quilter I love charm packs and have quite the collection (and can't seem to stop adding to said collection : )…

There are so many versions of this Star Compass Barn Quilt patterns on my list. Since one of my daughters really likes this fabric line Cozy Up by Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts for Moda Fabrics, I made this quilted wallhanging up quick before switching to Christmas sewing. One of the many reasons I like sewing with a charm pack is because it's so easy to make up something quick. Add in a bit of border and background fabric and in a couple of sewing sessions you can have a new wall hanging…
