Welcome

I've been crafting things for myself and others since my teen years. Designing and creating is not just what I do.....it's Who I Am. Thanks for stopping by.

QUILTED GIFT BAG PATTERN


This Quilted Gift Bag is easy, fat quarter friendly, and timeless.  You can make these bags for all gift-giving occasions during the year......from Valentine's Day, Birthdays, Anniversaries, through the Christmas season.  Stuffed with sewing or knitting supplies they are perfect for your crafty friends, too.   I have included directions on making a matching gift tag.

KITTY COZY QUILT PATTERN




I really enjoyed making this smaller quilt for my favorite kitty.  I blogged about it here.  This is a great scrap busting quilt.  The finished size is approximately 33-1/2" square.  The interior of the quilt consists of four scrappy blocks joined with a skinny black sashing and the border is also pieced from scraps.

GRANNIE'S SCRAPS quilt pattern


Here's one of my latest scrap busting quilts.  This quilt top measures 58" x 67-1/2" so it would considered a throw or lap size.   I used over 300 2-1/2" squares of various scrap fabrics.  The Granny Square blocks (aka Arbor Window) are arranged in a 4 x 5 layout.  There are three borders, one of which is comprised of pieced square-in-a-square blocks also using scrap fabrics.  






Happy Quilting,
~Diane

  1. That is such a cute kitty quilt. My kitties (2) would each love one of those. Then maybe I could keep then off of my current project! ha . I'd love to see how you did it. I've done a lot of string scrap quilts, and would like to make a different pattern to use up some of my roomful of scraps. Thanks for sharing.

  2. This is one of the best QOV patterns I have seen in a long time!!! I sew exclusively for QoV, but I do mostly scrap quilts. Once in a while I break out and do a `real'pattern! Thank you.
