My Swoon top is finished! I had a really fun time making this top. I had no idea how big the squares were until I actually asse...

My Swoon quilt is finally finished! It is all washed and ready to use- so happy to have this done in the beginning of the fall, I think it will become a family favorite. Pattern: Swoon by Camille Roskelley (Thimbleblossoms) Fabric: Loulouthi by Anna Maria Horner and Kona Snow for the background. Amy Bulter Peacock Feathers fabric for the binding and backing. blogged

Ok, almost finished. I still have to finish stitching down the binding but CLOSE ENOUGH! I started working on this bad boy a hot while ago, but you know how things go - - - you move a few times, you start quilting it only to hate the quilting and pick it all out, you turn the whole thing over to your mom to long arm, and then next thing you know, it's 18 months later. Whatever, I love, love, love this quilt, so it was all worth it!!! I think this is my favorite block, but I reserve the right to change my mind tomorrow. This quilt was made with the Swoon pattern by Camille Roskelley, and it's a fabulous pattern - clear instructions, accurate materials lists—the whole 9 yards (no pun intended). It's entirely made of squares, rectangles, flying geese units and half square triangles. I made mine with a navy blue Kona background, and then a bunch of different greens from my stash. My fabulous, wonderful, extremely talented mother longarmed this gi-normo quilt for me. Let me not understate how awesome my mom is, people. Not only did she long arm this sucker, she also ripped out the really bad long arming I did on the top quarter of the quilt when I decided I hated it and should probably just use the whole quilt for kindling at a fall bonfire. I'm a lucky girl. Didn't she do a lovely job? I LOVE the quilting - - hopefully you can see it. It's this really swirly kind of loop. Delicious. I hope you're having a lovely day sewing! --Kelly

twin fibers goodness I have a confession to make. It makes me ridiculously happy every single time I see a Swoon block. And to be completely honest, I swear to you I haven't seen a single one that I haven't...

Oh I love it when the win on one of my giveaways makes me laugh out loud! And the winner of Quilting Modern , chosen by random.org is: #4...

I made another version of the Swoon quilt. This is the Simply Swoon 42" version. This pattern was super easy and came together so quickly. Love that! The two fabrics are both from Camille Roskelley's Lighthearted line. The larger pink floral is hard to find, but Amazon does have the smaller floral and some of the larger floral in the mint, which is also beautiful. There is a mint version of the small floral, which now I'm tempted to make another one in the mints! The backing is small cupcakes, the binding is the pink and red stripes from the Lighthearted line, and the quilting is free motion. My favorite color is pink right now, so this one hanging in our living room is making me quite happy. You can view all of my quilts here.

For some reason I never got around to photographing my Cotton and Steel Swoon Quilt! I finished this quilt a few months ago and it’s even had a rotation on my bed. This is Thimbleblossom’s Swoon pattern. Since the pattern itself leans more traditional I went for a really modern Cotton and Steel basics print. […]

I recently met Melissa Joy Manning at her newly-opened jewelry boutique in my own new neighborhood, Cobble Hill. A creative through and through, Melissa has created a collection that is both swoony and super wearable. We first got to talking about the pieces themselves, but as I played around with stackable rings and layered the […]

We’ve spent the last few months in the midst of a construction site. Building work on your home is messy, stressful and chaotic and while I’m so happy we’re finally doing the work we’d planned since we moved into our home, a break from all the dust was something we decided we desperately needed. When […]
