The Navy and Yellow Log Cabin Quilt- Changing One of The Fabrics and How It Looks Now
Hi everyone! It’s been a month or so since I published a post about the navy and yellow log cabin quilt. Between the last post I made and this post, I haven’t been able to finish the turquoise and grey log cabin quilt. Even though the turquoise and grey quilt is not done, the navy and yellow quilt is! In this post, I wanted to talk about my decision to change one of the navy fabrics in my quilt and how it turned out. EDIT: I used two different watermarks in these photographs. One is for this blog, essieofwho.com, while the other one has the watermark I use for…

The Patriotic Scrappy Quilt- The Fabric Choices
Hi everyone! The 4th of July is tomorrow! I’m excited to have a day off work. I’m also planning on eating steak and watching fireworks. This year, I planned on making a patriotic quilt. I bought the fabric and had a plan for it, but I didn’t move forward with it. Now that it’s the 4th of July, I’m a little disappointed I didn’t start on my quilt and can use it in my decor this year. Even though I’m disappointed, I wanted to share my plans in a post before I move forward with making the quilt.

Beach Scene Quilt Panels (And Some Potential Future Plans for Them)
Hi everyone! After the problems with my turquoise and grey log cabin quilt, I decided to take a break from sewing for a while. Even though I’m on a break from sewing, I decided to clean out parts of my house. This is when I found more fabric. Some of the fabric was not longer good fabric (It was faux leather and was deteriorating) there were many pieces that were good. I decided to sort through them and see which ones I wanted to make or give away. This is when I found quilt panels I purchased a few years ago to hang on my walls. The panels are of…

Log Cabin Quilt Fabric from Walmart- Turquoise and Grey Color Scheme
Hi everyone! In a post I published last week, I talked about new log cabin quilt fabric I purchased from Walmart. You can read that post here. During the same shopping trip, I decided to buy the fabric I needed to make a second log cabin quilt. This time, I decided to use a turquoise and grey color scheme.

Log Cabin Quilt Fabric from Walmart- Yellow and Navy Color Scheme
Hi everyone! As I write this post, I am on a sewing hand break. I needed one badly! Even though I am on a break, I am still thinking of sewing more things. Included in my post-break sewing list are dresses, new PJs, and a new coat. One of the things I didn’t add on my list are quilts. I didn’t plan on making any more quilts until after I finish my pink and green log cabin quilt. I was fully committed to not looking for fabric for a future quilt until I discovered my local Walmart has their fabric on sale. For over a year, I’ve been looking at…

A Talk About Red and White (And All Dark Colored and Light Colored) Quilt Color Schemes and Color Bleed
Hi everyone! I’m currently going through my old post ideas and I found one that I want to talk about: Dark and light colored quilt colored schemes. At the time I thought of the idea, I wanted to make flannel quilts. After thinking about the quilts and creating them, I ultimately decided to not to make the quilts. Even though I liked the patterns and the flannel fabric, I didn’t like the color schemes.

Jane Austen at Home by Riley Blake Designs Sense and Sensibility Barton Cottage Quilt Kit
Hi everyone! Over a week ago, I published multiple posts about the Jane Austen at Home quilt kits I own. These kits are from Riley Blake Designs and are mostly inspired by fabric used in a coverlet Jane Austen and two of her family members created. Currently, I own all the kits except one, the Pride and Prejudice kit. Even though I mentioned this in previous posts, I have no current plans to make the kits. Despite this, I am very happy to own them and enjoy the place the hold in my fabric and sewing collection. The kit I will talk about in this post is the Sense and…

Jane Austen at Home by Riley Blake Designs Pillow Cover Kit
Hi everyone! Today, I’m continuing a series of posts about the Jane Austen at Home by Riley Blake Designs kits I own. I don’t own all the kits, but I own most of them. In a previous post, I talked about the Coverlet Kit I own. I also talked about all the kits I own in the collection in a post here. For this post, I will be talking about the Pillow Cover Kit I own. I purchased this kit in order to make a throw pillow cover to go alongside the coverlet. The pillow cover kit is not exactly the same as the coverlet, but it is inspired by…

Jane Austen at Home by Riley Blake Designs Coverlet Quilt Kit
Hi everyone! In September, I published a post about the Jane Austen at Home Collection by Riley Blake Designs. Even though I showed off all the things I own from the collection in that post, I still wanted to write more detailed posts about each quilt kit I own. I planned on doing this earlier this month, but things didn’t work out like I planned. Instead, I’m publishing the posts now! The first kit I wanted to talk about in more detail is the Coverlet Quilt Kit. This kit creates something called a coverlet. (I’m still going to address this kit as a quilt kit for the rest of this…

Tinyspool & Co. Cottagecore Jelly Roll Fabric Pack
Hi everyone! Last week, I talked about the Fall Harvest jelly roll fabric pack by Tinyspool & Co. I also mentioned it is not the only jelly roll fabric pack I purchased by the company. I also purchased a jelly roll fabric pack in the Cottagecore color way. I found the Cottagecore jelly roll on Amazon before I saw the Fall Harvest pack. I was really surprised there was a Cottagecore inspired jelly roll, or any quilt fabric pack in the first place. Normally, the fabric designs I find that are Cottagecore inspired are in colors, styles, and patterns I don’t really like. The TinySpool & Co. jelly roll had…
