Last week my friend Cynthia and I spent one glorious day sewing together! We've been talking about doing this for so long, as in years, about three in fact, which is exactly how long it's been since I finished my very first quilt. I can honestly say I'm glad we waited. I didn't know what I was doing for about a year and most of our sewing plans came from hoping we'd do much better if we did it together. Today, I've grown into a confident quilter who can easily explain and share with my friend how to make a beautiful quilt fast, which made the making easy and the process so much fun!
As for the fabric, Cynthia chose Bonnie's beautiful Winged collection for Art Gallery Fabrics!

For the pattern, she's using my Herringbone QAYG tutorial!
For our day of sewing, we tried out the new Janome Skyline S5 accompanied by my Janome MC 15000 at the dining room table.

We took turns using both Janome models. What a blessing to have such amazing machines to sew on! Janome recently sent me this new Skyline S5 to use and review. So while teaching Cynthia, I was also learning and comparing the Skyline features to my current MC 15000 and the other machines I've sewn on. I plan to continue using it this week, but can already share that this machine really has every convenience I use & need for my daily sewing projects, from birthday crowns to quilt tops! I especially love how compact it is!
We spent the day sewing away, drinking coffee, and laughing constantly. What an amazing opportunity to see my friend learn this process I love so much, to watch her instantly fall in love with the prettiness of her work, which resulted in the beginnings of such a beautiful quilt!
Ah, to be wrapped up in the colors of Spring this Winter, how perfect! We plan to meet one more time after this busy Thanksgiving week to finish it up, stay tuned!

I wish I could have a private lesson with you. QAYG has been high on my bucket list ever since I've seen your Cartoon QAYG. I've got my fabrics and everything.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect day!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine a more perfect way to spend a day: Quilting with a good friend, brightly colored beautiful fabric, quilting and lots of laughter. Life is GOOD!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are always beautiful... and I love this QAYG Herringbone! My question is putting the rows together. It looks like your quilt is flat ... but how do you join the rows? Also - When you QAYG... are you making a complete sandwhich or just quilting the strips to the batting & then topstitching over that to quilt the backing on? Would love to try this!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy! You can see the free pattern here, with lots of pictures and detailed step by step instructions -- http://www.maureencracknellhandmade.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-herringbone-quilt-tutorial.html
DeleteIf you have any questions, please let me know!
I was just coming back to tell you I checked out the tutorial!!! Just as I guessed :) This will definitely be one of the quilt tutorials I do in 2015!!! Will share w/ you when I do. Thanks for sharing w/ us!
DeleteHow fun Maureen. What a special friendship you must have.
ReplyDeletePerfect day!! Getting your Vitamin F dose with Cynthia and getting to sew all day!!! You can't beat that!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to "sew" with friends! Love that Herringbone tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI just ordered your beautiful fabric from the FatQuarter Shop, can't wait to get it.
