Hi guys! My name is Lindsay and I blog at Lindsay Sews and Craft Buds. I am also an editor over at CraftFoxes, a social networking site for crafters. Did I mention that I got to hang out with Sara the other week at Sewing Summit, as well as take her awesome class on sewing bags?
I am so happy to be a part of the Tula Pink Sew Along, because it gave me the chance to sew something I didn’t have to think about too hard! Since most of my sewing lately has involved writing a pattern from scratch, it was so nice to be able to follow a pattern and just have fun sewing, while still making it my own.
This Tula Pink quilt pattern is called “Cherry Pie” and I’d say it’s suited for advanced beginners. The pieced squares go together pretty easily, and perfection is not really an issue as long as you can trim the blocks to the correct size! The sashing was also fairly easy to piece by following the pattern.
The fabric is Bespoken by Pat Bravo for Art Gallery. For the quilting, I chose a free motion pebble design for the squares and a stipple for the sashing. This quilt uses Pellon Legacy Wool batting, which gives an awesome “puffy” texture to my free motion quilting! I also used Coats & Clark Dual Duty XP Thread, which was strong enough to get me few a few hours of quilting without breakage.
This looks like alot of fun to do!
Very satisfyijg!,I love your fabric choice and thanks for such great detail pics too.
I love the color placement in this Lindsay! It’s beautifully quilted too. 🙂 The quilt that I am getting ready to start FMQ on also uses Pellon wool batting. I can’t wait to see how it quilts up.
I love everything about this quilt! The colors are amazing!!!!!!!!
