Pattern Hack: Sunbeam Variation

Have you started your Sunbeam quilt yet? I can't wait to see what you all do with this cheerful pattern. Today, I want to share a variation I made on the design and tell you how to hack the pattern to make one like this too. You'll need to have the Sunbeam pattern and the Classic Curves Ruler to make this quilt. I am going to give you instructions for the on-point layout only, not the entire block piecing. Here we go! To make one like mine, you'll find the fabrics featured sold in the Color Girl Shop. Quilt Size: 35" x...

New on Color Girl YouTube: Pressing

I know we all joke that quilters always have an ironing board set up but wear wrinkly clothes. (-: In my case, that's definitely true, BUT, just because the ironing station is not too glamorous and mostly utilitarian, we can still have fun toys over there! I recently started using two new things for pressing my quilt blocks and they are fun AND functional, so I'm here to tell you all about it. In my latest video on Color Girl YouTube, I've done a sponsored video that's all about pressing for quilters. Now, the tutorial part of this video is...

New Giving Program at Color Girl Quilts

To say the least, it's been quite a year. I dare say there isn't a person on earth not impacted by some aspect of the events of this year: wildfires in Australia and California, the pandemic, racial discord in the United States and the ongoing division and political debate over how to best address these issues and now we are facing an election. There have been natural disasters and human tragedies. I'm sure there is more that I'm not aware of around the world. I wanted to put down some thoughts here and how I would like to get...

Sew a Little Sunbeam! New Pattern

It's here and you are going to LOVE sewing this pretty quilt! The Sunbeam quilt pattern is now available for sale <<here>> at Color Girl Quilts. This quilt has been kind of  a departure for me design-wise. I also made the original with all solid color fabrics, which is a challenge for me (-;. But I LOVE how it turned out and can't thank you all enough for the kind words and enthusiastic response to this new pattern. As promised, I wanted to show you some ideas for how to make Sunbeam with different looks. Hopefully give you a bit...

A Perfect Spot of Quilty Sunshine

What a summer it has been! For better or worse, we have made it this far: school is starting (albeit "home" school) and we all keep on keeping on. I do hope you all have had some chance to enjoy time with family, maybe a quarantine style vacation (whatever that look likes for you!), and plenty of creative time at the least. If you need a little colorful, quilty therapy, I have a new quilt to share...and a new pattern right around the corner! Updated: the Sunbeam pattern is now for sale! Find it << Here >> Last winter, my friend Steph...

Sew Dreamy: Butterfly Bouquet Quilt

Attention curvy quilters! So excited to share a gorgeous new quilt pattern from Simone Quilts that you ARE going to want to make. I know that lots of us are fans of curved piecing around here and we know that the Classic Curves Ruler is the best for making quick work out of the cutting. Simone's new pattern, Butterfly Bouquet, is such a sweet new addition to your curved piecing project list. I love seeing other quilters making really cool quilt designs with curves...I so often see one and think, "I wish I'd thought of that!". A while back on Instagram...

June Special! Free Pattern with Purchase

Summer has finally arrived! Here in Central Ohio, we pretty much went from winter to summer in one weekend a couple weeks ago. Now it's soooo hot! Some of you know I got a golden retriever puppy (her name is Birdy) in March. It is so humid here, even her fur gets all kinky when we go outside! Hope you are all faring well as the world opens up a bit post-quarantine, and that you are all finding some escape from a stressful world through your creative projects. To celebrate the arrival of summer and all new quilting projects (because, truly,...

Food Bank Fundraiser

**UPDATE: the fundraiser is finished and we donated $516 to the food bank! thank you to all who participated and made this a big success!!** What a spring it's been! Has it really only been about six weeks since we all started staying home and life really changed for so many? One of the things that has bothered me in this pandemic world of stay-at-home orders and shuttered businesses and schools is the potential loss of security for so many of our neighbors. I really want to do something to help, and hope you'll join me! I designed a shirt that I...
