Butterfly quilt

Hello there, beautiful people! Guess what? We are learning how to quilt today! Will you join us?

Happy Blogiversary to Pink Doxies! Six years of color-filled posts shared with friends and family, laughter, tears, and lots and lots of love! Thank you all for being part of my world, and letting me into yours. I am truly blessed! I have to say it. Time is flying by! It's been 6 years since my first post, and though I'm still a quilter, I'm a changed quilter now. (Maybe a butterfly quilt was more than apropos.) Most of my time is spent longarm quilting for others, and I've been especially…

Sharing a quilt project in my quilt studio and also quilt projects made by other quilters with my tutorials and pattern.

Back in October I shared a post here on my Butterflies quilt and this week I was able to quilt it up and even get the binding on! The pattern is by Laundry Basket Quilts and I used batik fabrics from my stash. I think a lot of them were from the Paint Box Batiks and Over the Rainbow batiks collections. Once I had the blocks done I debated about appliqueing the butterflies down or just quilting them down. I know I would be happier if I did machine appliqued so took that extra time to do just…

Colorful butterflies gracefully fly across this throw-size quilt. Did you know they can fly at speeds of up to 30 mph? Finished size: 64" x 74" Designed by Wendy Sheppard.

Oh, the finishes are coming fast now. Strange how that happens. I'm excited to share this one: my second finish from my Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks from 2019. If you want to see the blocks as I made them, you can click on the RSC19 or Butterfly Quilt labels on the right sidebar or at the bottom of this post. This quilt was just so much fun. It's the third quilt I've made from the Dancing Butterflies Mini Pattern by Ellis and Higgs. The quilt in the pattern is just four butterflies and is…

On 1 August Nicole Calver (of Snips Snippets), Chelsea (of Pink Door Fabrics) and I will be kicking off the Tula Pink Butterfly Quilt Sew-along. Tula Pink’s “The Butterfly Quilt” has been on a lot of people’s hit list since it’s release in 2013, so when Chelsea of Pink Door Fabrics asked me if I’d work...

Today is a big day in these parts! New pattern, new bundles, and kits too! So exciting. The pattern is called Mariposas (butterflies in Spanish) and it's a fast and easy sew, made with fat quarters and a bit of yardage. The pattern has instructions for a straight-grid setting of the blocks, but you'll find instructions for off-set blocks in an upcoming blog post. I have kits for everything except the backing! These two fabrics aren't a part of the kit, I just had to make a pillow so I could…
