Bloggers Quilt Festival 2012

It is that time again, when Amy at Amy's Creative Side hosts and organises the Bloggers Quilt Festival.

Amy's Creative Side
 If you haven't been here before, welcome, I am Kerry, I love vintage, scrappy and paper piecing and that leads me nicely to my entry; 'Vintage Notions'.

vintage Notions Modern Mini Quilt Entry
This mini quilt is pieced in a variety of ways.  The centre sewing box is a combination of foundation paper piecing and freezer paper template pieced.  All the spools are freezer paper pieced.  There are a zillion Y seams- practice, practice, practice  these to get them licked!  I made it to showcase the sewing box block that I designed for the brillian Sew Out Loud quilt a long and as a teaching aid for Fat Quarterly retreat where I am running a couple of sessions on Y seams.  It feels like there is a bit of everything in this quilt...
Vintage Notions close up
Machine quilting, hand quilting, rouleau loop, vintage button and  many favourite fabrics, all with a faded, old sewing box feel.  'Vintage Notions' is all about how the old can inspire the new.







I have this rolled up and in my case for the retreat.  You can find the free sewing box pattern here - I am off to see more quilts!

    Kerry, your attention to detail always astounds me. Love this sweet mini so much and am sad I won't be at FQ retreat to see it (and meet you!) in person.

    So lovely and creative. I wish I was going to the retreat and taking the Y seam class. It is one method that has me licked so far.

    This is so fab, can't wait to paw over it at the retreat (sorry, handle it lovingly and caressingly...) Y seams still make me twitch though ;o)
