QUILTING | my Little Miss Sawtooth

Making this Little Miss Sawtooth quilt is addicting!

I've made three now and am tempted to start a fourth.  I love this pattern by Melanie @southerncharmquilts.  It's a great pattern for every level of quilter.

I also loved using low volume fabrics for the background and using scrappy fabrics from my stash.

For my LMS, I used a mixture of fabrics that I talk more about on @andes_heirlooms

I have four quilts to hand-quilt now.  The first I'm almost through with is my husbands T-shirt quilt (that's a whole other post).  The second, my Bunny Hill applique quilt; third, my Little Miss Sawtooth; and fourth, the LMS I made for Mom.

QUILT ALONG | Pemberley English Paper Piecing project

Hello all, 

I'm happily joining in with another quilt along but this time I know I won't be able to keep up.  

I've already received 2 packs of the paper pieces from DuckaDilly Fabrics 

and can't wait to get a start... on..

the Pemberley EPP QAL

Each month I'll receive the paper pieces for two of the blocks... 

SEWING | Christmas Makes

Over the holidays I was able to squeeze in a few new makes. 

There was a lovely stocking sew along hosted by @sunnydaysupply

I finished my second one on Christmas Day! LOL talk about last minute.

It was actually very relaxing to sew on Christmas after prepping all the food.

On the left is the EPP {english paper piecing} stocking.

This is my first attempt at English Paper Piecing and I had great instructions from so many talented makers on insta ... Great tutorial videos and tips were given so it was really fun to learn this new technique and I'm so glad I did. 

follow me, @andes_heirlooms for updates and progress ♥

happy making,

                    xoxo, ande

QUILT ALONG | my progress on the little miss sawtooth QAL

Hello All ♥

I have been making good progress on the Little Miss Sawtooth QAL by 

Melanie of Southern Charm Quilts and hosted by Havel Sewing.  Melanie has created such a great pattern with excellent instructions that are so easy to follow along with.  

I even decided to make a small version for my new baby niece, Lily.  I have it ready to start hand-quilting and can't wait to get it into the hoop.  Before I can start on that though, I'm trying to finish hand-quilting my husbands' baseball tshirt memory quilt.  That has been a labor of love over a few years.  Seems like my WIPs just keep growing.  

I am continuing to work along with the pattern releases every two weeks for my little miss sawtooth quilt; then suddenly inspiration hit to start another LMS for another 'someone special', my Mom.  She seemed to especially love one of the blocks I recently made using pale lavender and turquoise so I'm going to dig into my stash and see what fabrics I can pull and try to catch up all the blocks for her quilt by this weekend, when the latest block patterns for the sew along will release. 

That will be so fun!  

have a lovely week of creating!

                   xoxo, ande
