    Feb 17, 2014

    IMG_3741-001 Not much going on over here, but I did manage to get some quilts hung on walls.  It’s an explosion of pink in Sophie’s room! (quilt is from my book) I pulled these fabrics for a Twin quilt for her.  I’m obsessed with this color combo: IMG_3776 And I finally got one of these gadgets…I’m hoping it can save my nails from breaking every time I baste a quilt! IMG_3762 When the sky gets gray…the fabric gets BRIGHT! IMG_3753 Hope you all have a great week…I’m ready to wrap up February and move onto March!  :) 1794805_272483829576424_436579255_n

      Honest to goodness, once you get the hang of the Kwik Klip, it will turn basting from yuck to oh this isn't so bad! No more sore fingers, and oh so fast! I love mine and wouldn't baste without it!

      Love the bright room, children so enjoy colour. I also love your Dresden plate pincushion. Is there a tutorial and pattern for that? The mini points are so cute!

      Have you ever considered 505 spray to spray baste it? It works great, altough I think in the long run your new little tool costs less than lots and lots of cans of 505 basting spray! But you don't have to unpin as you quilt, and that's a plus too.

      He he, what about basting spray? I am a little bit of a nature girl and said I'd never try it, but then is as someone use it at a sew day at a local shop. I never looked back and passed my cigar box full of paperclips on on freecycle. :)

      Your houses quilt looks beautiful in the wall in your daughter's room. Looking forward to seeing her new quilt.

      Allison, the house quilt is soooo pretty! Love the darling pin cushion too. And yes, I think winter makes us want to sew with bright fabrics. I'm ready for winter to be over. We received 2 feet of snow Saturday night and another foot last night. Enough already....LOL.

      Another option is a grapefruit spoon. It has the same notches that you can use to close and reopen the pins. Hope that helps for some who already have those in their house! I have the blocks for a juice box quilt all ready to be sewn together! Can't wait for the time to get it done!

      You will love that Kwik Clip thingy! I use mine every time -- fingernails emerge from pin basting unscathed.

      I love all those happy pinks for your daughter's room. I was never much of a pink person until I found myself the mother of two sons, in a house full of testosterone. Now I just want to paint my toenails with pink glitter and wear a tiara to the supermarket in rebellion!

      That pincushion was given to me by a sweet friend...but if I knew how to make it I would share! :) She made a tiny dresden plate and appliqued it onto a larger pincushion...it's very cute and I love it!

      I've been wondering about basting spray, too... I've never tried it but I *would* just to see if it is worth it (apparently it smells really toxic?)

      Hey there, I found a tutorial online for a Mini Dresden Brooch - it could totally be turned into a pincushion.
