A Day of Sewing & October $5 pattern
I had such a fun day of sewing and I ticked off quite a few projects from my to do list. I had the fun of sharing all about it in today’s video. Here’s a little peek:
1. Do you remember those vintage sheets charm squares I talked about last week? Those have been turned into a quilt top.
2. My Sewcialites quilt is now officially finished with the addition of a border.
3. I made a table runner using my Jelly Sticks Mini quilt pattern and Birch & Willow fabrics.
All in one day of sewing! It was a very productive day…although there was that other project on my list I mentioned that you’ll have to wait until next week to see how it turns out!
Jelly Sticks Mini is the October $5 pattern of the month. It’s so pretty in the table runner size (lots of video of it over on YouTube).
Here’s the first Jelly Sticks mini quilt (24″ x 24″) top I made using Peachy Keen fabrics several years ago.
The blocks can be laid out 4 x 4 or 2 x 8 depending on your preference. It’s a charm pack friendly quilt pattern and a pretty quick one to sew up.
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by! Corey
I am finishing up the Border of the month. I put on the 6th border. The left side used 30 squares (as pattern said). The right side used 29 blocks (1 less the pattern said). I guess I messed up by not sub-cutting the previous 3 skinny borders. I do not know how to fix. I probably wouldn’t care that much if using as a throw. However, I was planning to hang on a wall at the top of my stairs. So, I’m assuming it would look crooked when hung. I did use the Ten Sisters 2″ finished Easy piecing grid to sew these squares. Any idea how to fix?
Thanks,

I would still hang it at the top of your stairs. Hang the part that is “off” or “wrong” on the bottom and place a small table or some other small piece of furniture in front of it, hiding the “offending” corner. No one will know except you and you can choose to never tell anyone. It would be so sad to not use it as you had planned. I’m sure it is beautiful!
I recently purchased your tulip market pattern and used it in a baby quilt. I paired it with the daisy pattern from Lori Holt’s quilter’s cottage book. The quilt is really a sweet one.
I love your fabrics and patterns
Hi Corey!
I’ve followed you for years and love your fabric lines as well as some very awesome patterns! The first time was with your original “ Birdy Stitches” and I still use it as my early spring quilt. Thank you so much for all your designs and hard work!
the table runner is so cute, love the time with Tigs, what a sweet cat. Hope you have a wonderful week
