Considering the Stash

Filed Under Patterns | 2 Comments

I made a new version of Love My Stash!

Love My Stash by Kay Mackenzie

It’s really is made 100% from my stash. Can you tell I love blue and red and ivory, florals and toiles and polka dots??

I’ve updated the cover of the pattern and also the notecards.

Speaking of the stash, here’s a blast from the past involving two big kittens and their midnight tippytoe excursion.

And, a Fabric Surprise filmed by the DH!

Until next time,

New stuff!

Filed Under Back-basting (no-template), Patterns | 2 Comments

I’ve been working on stuff. Well, I’m always working on stuff, and sometimes I have something to show for it. :)


A new pattern! I pulled hunks and scraps out of my stash, anything I liked, and put them all together for this important quilter’s statement piece. Your hunks and scraps will be completely different than mine, but your quilt will make the same proud pronouncement.

Also, I made a stand-alone set of instructions for back-basting.


This illustrated guide includes the 9″ Heart and Flower practice block, illustrated back-basting instructions, hand stitching tips, and my guide to points and notches.

Note: If you have Teapots 2 to Appliqué or Inspired by Tradition, you have these instructions built-in.

This weekend I’ll be at the show put on the the Guild of Quilters of Contra Costa County in Concord (say that 10 times fast). Hope to see you there if you’re in the area!

Until next time,
Kay
