It’s been a bit since I’ve made a blog post! I’ve been so busy because we’re building a house right now and there’s so much that needs my attention on that front but I’ll make it all up now with a look at the projects I stitched for my Art Gallery Fabrics Listen to Your Heart collection , news abou
Is anyone else obsessed with the Orange Peel design right now? I have been dreaming of Orange Peel wall paper for my dining room, I just free motion quilted an Orange Peel design on my recently finished Scrappy Trip Around the World quilt (pictures coming soon) and I just started this Orange Peel mini quilt last week! I'm obsessed! Obsessed I tell ya! So when my boss at Just Sew asked me if I wanted to be in charge of the mini quilt of the month for August and she handed me the book 101 Fabulous Small Quilts by That Patchwork Place and I spied an Orange Peel quilt in it - I knew I just had to make it! I've always wanted to make one and this was the perfect opportunity. I decided to do a low-volume, scrappy background with bright fabrics for the leaves. I've been loving that combo for a while now so I'm pretty excited about finally doing it. (I had a little helper helping me plan my scrappiness. She's pretty cute, eh?) Because I'm on a deadline (this has to be appliqued, pieced, quilted and bound by the end of the month) I've set a goal to applique 8 leaves (or 1 row) every day. I figure each leaf takes about 10 minutes to applique so it's just over an hour out of my day that I'm dedicating to this project for the next week or so. I'm already half way done and I'm really loving seeing it come together! I've posted more pictures of this project on Instagram. Feel free to follow along if you'd like. My username is gigis_thimble. When I first posted about this project on IG, my friend Jodi Nelson of the blog, Pleasant Home showed some interest in the pattern so I roped her into making an Orange Peel quilt with me. Be sure to stop by her blog if you haven't already. She's posting about her Orange Peel quilt today too! We thought it would be fun to start an Orange Peel Quilt Along but after a little research we found out that Jessica from the blog, Quilty Habit has one going on as we speak! So Jodi and I are just going to sit back and enjoy the Orange Peel Quilt Along ride! We hope you'll join us! Jessica's got great pattern suggestions, applique tutorials, a schedule and there will even be some great prizes given away at the end! You can click HERE for all the details. Since someone on IG asked for it, I am going to do a tutorial on my favorite method of applique (the same method I'm using on this project). So be sure to check back next week if you're interested in that. So...Orange Peel - are you feelin' it? Yes or no? ~ Amber

I told myself I'd never make another puff quilt. Yet, here I am.....sharing about my second puff quilt. (haha!) Don't get me wrong, I loved the process of making my first puff quilt, which you can read about here, but I honestly thought that we'd never have the need for another one. Well, over the last year, I slowly forgot how much work they are (haha) and I started getting the itch to do the process all over again! Peter uses my original puff quilt alllllll the time. He loves the weight of it, but his only complaint was that it wasn't long enough. I made the
Everything in my shop is handmade, by me! I put a lot of love into each and every item that I make. This precious little quilt is just too cute!

This fun quilt is so charming draped on the back of your couch, the end of your bed, or hanging on a ladder or wall in your home!! You’ll be smitten with it! The gnomes are created using a variety of red prints, along with white fabric for the beard and peach fabric for the nose. The balsam trees are created using a variety of green prints, along with a little brown for the trunk. For the background I used a variety of buttery cream prints to show off the gnomes and the balsam trees. I used brown fabric for the binding strip.
