Layer Cake Pop
Welcome to the Layer Cake Pop Quilt Along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop. I am Denise Russell and I am so happy I accepted the invitation to participate in the quilt along, as it was a pleasure to make this sunny beauty! The Layer Cake Pop pattern is perfect for featuring gorgeous prints like these and it is very easy, so this quilt came together super fast. I used a layer cake of Kaffe Collective Spicy Palette and, I think, the perfect background color to make all of Kaffe's colors pop: … [Read more...] about Layer Cake Pop
Knitted Tweed Scarf
Perfect weather for this knitted scarf, made with Heartland Tweed yarn in gray. I love its little specks of color... Easy cable pattern and a fun project to knit while sitting under one of my flannel quilts... [Edited] I found this free pattern, began it while I had it on the computer screen, memorized it, turned computer off, and NEVER bookmarked it or downloaded it!!! What was I thinking! It was free and I am almost sure I was on Ravelry when I found it. The link took me to this cool blog … [Read more...] about Knitted Tweed Scarf
Fall Table Topper
I had a little bit of leftovers from the quilt I made (can't show it to you just yet) and made this table topper.

I found a place for every scrap of fabric and I am happy with how it turned out. The piecing was done with Aurifil 50 wt in light gray, which worked perfectly with all the fabric colors. Then, I … [Read more...] about Fall Table Topper
Scrappy Nine Patches
This beauty will be the newest quilt for my bed! This is only the quilt center as I am still thinking about what the borders will look like. It will be replacing the warm and cozy flannel quilt come Spring. I have been waiting for a week and no sunny day to photograph it outside... I am loving these colors! They remind me of the backroom in a house my father-in-law used to own in Bethany Beach, DE: everything was decorated in blues, yellows, and white in that welcoming room. When I opened an … [Read more...] about Scrappy Nine Patches
Spring Fest batiks
Photo by Matthew Owen for Annie's. Used by Permission. Happy Monday! Just got my "Spring Fest" batik quilt which was published in the Spring 2017 issue of Quilter's World. So glad to have it back! I loved working with Hoffman Fabric's batiks! This quilt features the Blue Hawaiian Bali Poppy collection with a wonderful palette of blues and lavenders, against a background of their Snow batik. The yellow is reminiscent of the center of the flowers... I assembled the blocks using the Strip Tube … [Read more...] about Spring Fest batiks
