As I’ve mentioned before, I am enthralled with Kaleidoscope Quilts. Geta from Brasov, Romania was kind enough to send me this link of her Kaleidoscope quilts. She includes tonnes of photos and useful tips and tricks to help you make your own. They are super gorgeous. One of these days I’d love to give this…

If someone wants to know what they can make ME for the holidays, here’s a great idea. (Just remember I have tiny wrists and I’m partial to purple .) The Pincushion Cuff Tutorial is well written with excellent photos to help along the way. There are lots of great sewing tips on that site, browse…

Here’s a great idea for hand-made Christmas cards with free template patterns and excellent how-to instructions included. I love the multiple layers, and the use of cross-stitch fabric in the background… I think I have a package somewhere. I love to receive hand-made cards, but haven’t made very many myself (ok, I’ve made one). I’m…

Here’s a great Rag Quilt Tutorial with lots of photos and detailed instructions. Jen wrote me to say she’s not much of a quilter, but she loves to cook. I want to make a couple mini ones of these for my cats in the new year. They love soft and cuddly things to curl up…

If you liked Ayumi’s tutorial yesterday, be sure to check out her Reversible Patchwork Bag tutorial. It’s super cute, and a great way to use up scraps. I love how she did the casing and am eager to try her technique… casings have always been a troubled spot for me. Doll Quilt Swap: Registrations are…

I can’t wait to make up a few of these gorgeous Fabric Baskets as gifts this year. Scrappy, coordinated, they’ll be perfect. Thanks Ayumi for the great tutorial. Have you made these baskets? I’d love to see your colour combinations. Please leave a comment.

Here’s a gorgeous free table runner pattern from Rochelle of Cottage Quilt Designs called Simply Hearts. I think this will be my playing pattern this week. I like the simple design and easy instructions, and would like to give it a try in various scrappy combinations.

Jacquie has created this great tutorial on making a Wonky Log Cabin Block. Tonnes of photos are included making it super-easy to follow along. Definitely a must-try. Great way to use up leftover strips.

Here’s a gorgeous pattern, that made me go WOW when I first opened the file. Sunstreaks by Patrick Lose (he has a blog too). I’m tempted to try this pattern with either some batiks I’ve been saving, or some 1930’s fabric I got for my birthday, but with tone-on-tone cream (almost white) as the background.…

Here’s a quick and easy project, Bali Pops Tutorial. I love these fabrics, and this pattern is sure to come together very quickly. Sometimes we all need a project that’s just straight stitches and no fancy points to worry about… or is that just me? In addition to instructions using 2.5″ strips, Rachel also provides…
