Landon’s Lil’ Rainbow Twister

Wrapped and readyLandon’s one year birthday party is this weekend!  We can’t attend his party so I gave him his present last night.  Of course, I decided on Monday night to make this Lil’ Rainbow Twister!  No fear, it’s a fast project and I was finished Tuesday night.Landon's Rainbow Lil TwisterI used a neutral Superior So Fine! #5o thread for the quilting and Quilter’s Dream Puff for the batting.  The quilted pinwheel is freehand fun!Mickey Mouse backing fabricLandon loves Mickey Mouse and I was lucky to find some locally!look at those colors!He found the Mickey fabric right away!

I took pictures as I was making the Lil’ Rainbow Twister to show the progression of making a Lil’ Twister quilt.  They can be viewed on my Google+ page here.  Click through to the individual pictures for descriptions.

Thanks!  I hope you’re encouraged to try your Twister Tool, whatever size you have.  I’ll be attempting to cut the waste squares from this rainbow project to make an Itty Bitty Twister!

Anabel’s Lil’ Twister Dolly quilt

Anabel’s Lil’ Twister Dolly quilt

 

My grand-niece Anabel turned one yesterday and every little girl needs a dolly quilt! This quilt is the result of doing a Lil’ Twister tool demo for quilt guild.  It’s a perfect size for a Tummy Time dolly quilt.

And just for fun, I made a little postage stamp quilt for the dolly!  My quilting buddy, Candace, has been donating charms to me for my PSQ and a few of them were pink flannel!   Isn’t it cute?   I used a flannel backing with no batting or quilting.

I didn’t have Anabel’s dolly for the photo, so I swiped a Teddy bear from our daughter’s room to show the size.

I usually do big projects, but it’s very satisfying to make small ones!

I didn’t have an August finish to post, where did that month go, so I’m linking to September’s Stitch In Time for my first finish.  I hope to have another finish this month!  We’ll see!

Table Runner finished!

Table Runner finished!

 

I’m so excited to post a “finished” for April!  So far, I had only finished a Lil Twister potholder and that seemed too lame to brag about.  I machine stitched the binding to speed up the process, too!

 

 

 

Both of these were added to the end of the Trip Around the World on the longarm.  It’s very satisfying to finish something, even if it’s a small project.

I’m working on a binding tutorial for the little potholder and my method for the invisible finishing seam when binding a quilt.  My dilemma is whether to make them videos or long blog posts!  We’ll see if I want to be on camera!

Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’ !

Design Wall Monday – Almost finished!

Design Wall Monday – Almost finished!

 

I’m almost finished!  Just need to add the pieced borders and the top will be done.  I was a little worried that I should have done the math for the pieced borders because I changed the dimensions from the quilt pattern but happily it’d didn’t matter, they’ll fit perfectly.  I’m loving the look of the quilt!  And I’m loving that all the fabric was from my stash!

Check Judy at Patchwork Times for other Design Wall Monday posts!

 

 

Tonight, I demo the Little Twister Tool at quilt guild so I finished the other little pot holder that I quilted on the longarm last week.  I’m trying to perfect attaching the binding and it worked so well, I’m ready to do a tutorial.  Stay tuned!

 

Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’ !

Lil’ Twister pot holder

Lil’ Twister pot holder

In April I’m demonstrating the Lil’ Twister Tool for our quilt guild so I’ve started making some Lil’ Twister pot holders for my demo.  Here’s my first finish.  The little squares that are leftover have been cut into squares for my PSQ collection, bonus!

I like the finished size, 6 1/2″, for a more usable pot holder.  Some of the other pot holders I’ve been making end up so big they are more like table pads.  I am using one layer of batting and one layer of Insul-Brite.

Here’s the before and after picture.  Start with a 5″ square and add 3″ borders.  After cutting and sewing the 10″ becomes a 6 1/2″ square.  I was thinking this could be a little starter project for those who what to try the Twister Tool.  I’m preparing the table runner size for my demo, too.  I’ll post some pictures of that after my guild meeting.

 

I’m linking up to Such a Sew and Sew:  A Stitch in Time March 2012 Finishes but I really hope that I can get a bigger project finished later this month!!

Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’
