Today we have Linden from Vine Lines… Thank you so much Alyce for inviting me to guest host Sew Cute Tuesday today. I really enjoy checking out the beautiful work each week even though I don’t link up as often as I would like! I hope the move went well and that you’re starting to get settled into your new home.
This week is all about finishes here at Chez Vine. I go through phases and recently I decided that I have far too many ‘almost finished’ projects so I’ve been picking one or two every week and finishing them off. The three minis I have to show you today have been finished, minus binding for well over a year.
This is my version of the Moda Love Quilt that was released about two years ago. It’s such a great pattern which uses either a layer cake, charm pack or candy pack. I made mine using a candy pack of V & Co’s first range, Simply Style.
The pattern uses 30 squares, so with nine of the left over squares I made a mug rug. I bound both in a print from another V & Co collection, Simply Color.
I made this mini with a candy pack of Persimmon by BasicGrey. These are not my usual tones but I really love the richness of the colours.
I used 36 squares on the front and pieced the six tone on tones into the backing. The solid is a Prima Homespun from Spotlight which matches perfectly.
It feels so great to have these small projects finished – I now need to rearrange my studio so I can have a mini wall!
Linden and her Project48Quilt collaborator, Crystal from Raspberry Spool will be speaking at the National Gallery of Victoria on Saturday 23 July, as part of a Symposium which explores the art, heritage and powerful storytelling capacity of quilts. The Symposium is in conjunction with the NGV’s exhibition Making the Australian Quilt: 1800–1950 which will include the Rajah Quilt. You can book tickets and find out more information at the NGV’s website.
And now it’s your turn; what have you been creating this week? Time to link up your latest Sew Cute projects. Don’t forget you can link directly to an Instagram pic too! So if you want to link from there, you can do that too – link up as normal, and use #sewcutetuesday and @blossomheartquilts and @vinelines on IG to help us find you from there too.
