The Last Piece

Coming Up Roses Sew Along

Here is my first sample block and the border I’ve chosen for the Coming Up Roses Sew Along! For the original quilt I used the cabbage roses print from Kaffe Fassett. To select all the scrap fabrics I used in my original quilt, I chose the border print first and brought everything back to that original fabric.

I’ve done the same here, using colours I wanted brought into my bedroom and this beautiful floral from Nerida Hansen Fabrics. I’m undecided on my striped fabrics for the alternate block as yet - I’ll let you know when I find them!

This is a fun and easy quilt to make, I do hope you’ll sew along. Tell your friends!

Sew along starting 10 October

SEW ALONG! Sorry guys, I know this was supposed to launch on the weekend but a rugby-compromised son kind of threw the plans out of whack. NONETHELESS! Here it is!

 

This Sew Along is the first in a series planned over the next few years, walking through some favourite projects in my books. We are starting with a quilt that has lived on my bed for nearly 15 years - Coming Up Roses from Material Obsession 2. I’ve loved this quilt every day, but it’s gotten a little raggy and I thought it was time the bed got a new one.

 

 

The Sew Along will start on 10 October, which gives you a little time to get your fabrics sorted and look for that all important border.

 

If you already have my book, Material Obsession 2, the pattern is in there. If you don’t, the book is now out of print but the pattern is up on my website for purchase as a pdf download. That’s the only fee required for this Sew Along.

 

 

The quilt pattern is currently written for a king size bed. Over the next few days, I’ll be posting here instructions for making the quilt as a throw, a king single or a queen. I’ll also be giving you some tips on buying fabric, choosing a border print and making the quilt from strips rather than scrap cut squares if that’s what you’re into.

 

If you’re so inclined you can join the Facebook group - Sarah Fielke Sew Alongs - and join in with others making the quilt. But all the info detailed above will be only available here on my blog. Let's have some fun together!

Sew Along details coming this weekend!

Garden Pouch and kit

Here's a fun little sewing organiser for you to make.The Garden Pouch will have room for the basic things you need for your handwork - your needles and thread, applique glue, small scissors, pins and a hera marker.

Or you could use it as a small pouch for other personal items. Great as a gift!

You can either buy just the PDF pattern, or a kit (includes pattern) that has all the fabric for outside and lining, zipper, pre-made bias tape, felt and ribbon for strawberry fob and stabiliser.

Down the Rabbit Hole in Alabama

Isn’t this a fantastic pic? There are seven friends in Alabama all making my Down the Rabbit Hole quilt together. Five of them got together recently to show off their progress. Great job ladies!

Thanks so much Becky Blanton Brown for sending me the pic.

Quilt Story about my BOMs

I did an interview with Lisa Walton about how I progress my BOM quilts... have a listen!

 

You are feeling Sleepy...

My Sleepy quilt is just the right covering for a single bed. Imagine tucking up a child with this quilt while you read a good-night story (and hoping that the quilt's message takes effect!).

The letters to spell SLEEPY are in the pattern. You can buy the PDF pattern here. 

 

 

Want to put together other letters to sew different words? My book, Stitch your Story, has six complete alphabets you can use, as well as projects for you to try. What fun!

 

 

Every stitcher needs a hussif

Here's my fun little sewing organiser, or carry all. This pattern will have room for the basic things you need for your handwork - your needles and thread, applique glue, small scissors, pins and a hera marker. You can even fit a rotary cutter and a gel pen lengthways into the pocket depending on how you structure your compartments!

This has been designed so it can hang over the arm of the chair or couch where you are working, sit flat on a table, or be folded up ready to take to sewing group or in the car. So versatile!

These handy sewing organisers also make great gifts for stitchy friends and it's never too early to start making gifts for Christmas!

The pattern comes as PDF when you purchase. A video link will be sent to you within 24 hours of your order, so you can view the supporting video tutorial.
