Riley Blake Design Team Project & A Fly A Kite GIVEAWAY!!

Today I'm SO excited to be sharing my very first project for the Riley Blake Design Team!!

Fly A Kite Nursery Floor Pillow Tutorial

I created a tutorial for a kite themed nursery floor pillow using Riley Blake's new Fly A Kite collection by October Afternoon. You'll find the step by step tutorial for making this large floor pillow, and even steps for making a smaller version, on the RBD blog today (tutorial to be posted at 9am MST right here). This project turned out to be my favorite pillow yet -- I really hope you like it!

They make a wonderful set!!

      I thought I was the first commenter, but by the time I commented i wasn't....so, anyway, I'm busy designing my first quilt and want to have it completed to use on my front porch this summer. Oddly enough I'm planning on using Fly a Kite because the fabrics are just so cute and summery!

    My immediate sewing goal is to finish a quilt for my niece's wedding - I want it to be something she will treasure forever, so it has to be special!

    The tutorial is wonderful and your design is simply perfect for the fabric!! Great job!!!

    One of my sewing goals this year is to do a little more paper piecing. I really enjoy its results, but find the process so time consuming and wastefull of fabric. Just gotta get over my "scrimp and save every last scrap" attitude ;-)

PS your Riley Blake pillows are so cute, they remind me of kite's I used to make as a wee one! Nice Job!
