"Celestial" Pattern now available

First I think I need to apologize for just disappearing. I took a break, a really long one. I was gone over 9 month. My life was quite stressful the last month, so I wasnt really in the mood for sewing or any other crafty stuff. But Im finally back again and I love to sew and quilt again and really missed it.

Before I left one of my "Quilt Designs A Day" became a quilt pattern and was published in the "Make Modern Magazine - Issue Two". Today I finally found the time to put this pattern also on craftsy for all those that had no chance to get the magazine.

 

 You can get it here.

“Whirlwind” a free craftsy pattern

 

I’m sure some of you know that I participated in the “Schnitzel & Boo Mini Quilt Swap” some weeks ago. And I can finally reveal what I designed for my partner Tara in Australia. And sadly Im still waiting to get a mini quilt for myself, Im already stalking my postbox. *g*

I designed this flying geese pattern for Tara, coz she loves everything modern and a ton Tula Pink of course *g* And then I thought I just could make you all happy. So I decided to make this “Whirlwind” pattern free for you all.

Im happy to show you my brand new  “Everday Bag”, I tested for Nilya. Head over to her blog, to win some wonderful Aurifil threads. And you can find the pattern over at craftsy.

I got it nearly finished in during one sewing day, but then I had to stop for the metal handle parts. I was searching everywhere, but no one had them locally, so I ordered. When they arrived they were a bit too big, but my deadline was already too close so I used them. Im sure I will replace them with smaller ones when I get them. So here is my finished bag:

WIP Wednesday – Pattern Release - GIVEAWAY next post

Im totally excited right now, because I released my brand new pattern -– Every Which Way –- you can get it in my craftsy or my etsy shop. I also have a Give-away on my blog in a separate post. You can WIN a copy of my pattern in this give-away. 

Last wednesday evening I was at my first ever guild meeting and totally loved it, everyone was so nice to me and complimented me on my finishes, cant even describe how proud I was this evening and cant wait for our next meeting.

Started:

Yes something new again, my hubby said a few days ago, that all our girls have more than one quilt and he has none. This made me thinking of course, I mean I never thought, that he wanted one. So I started pinning to a pinterest board, what I thought would be okay for a man quilt, and when I showed him, he picked this one. He also took a look on my bundles and decided for Sunnyside by Kate Spain, but just the light and happy colors, no darks. So I started, cutting it this week, and this is how far I got already. But I have to take a break now, coz I have a tiny bit too less of my Kona Coal, so I have to order more first.

(sorry for all the mess on the floor, but it was already late)

Every Which Way Pillow 2 –- yes the second pillow is already quilted, but this time I arranged the blocks differently so I got another look, will show you both, so you know what Im talking about. (The MiniQuilt pattern will soon be released too)

Ongoing:

Friendshipstar Quilt –- just needs binding

Starsurround QAL –- cushion top finished, need to sew it together
Once Upon A Time Sampler -– didnt stitch anything, right now in the march block
Whats planned: 2x Cushion for our home
1x Cushions for my mom

Q2 FAL & AYOLF April – Finish #3 – Every Which Way

Finished my very first quilt with my own pattern and couldnt love it anymore. I wanted to take some great outdoor shots, but since weeks the weather is now just rainy, cloudy, windy or something else, thats not great for being outdoors with a new quilt. So I decided to take them later and just do some indoor pics in the kids room. Amelie already loves her quilt, even if its not yet gifted to her.   This quilt is listed here in the Q2 FAL List.

Quilt Stats:

Measurements: 49” x 72”

Fabric: Lottie Da by Heather Bailey

Backing + Binding: Acacia by Tula Pink & Lottie Da by Heather Bailey

Quilting: diagonal lines, stitch in the ditch, outlines,

straight lines to form diamonds

WIP Wednesday – Happy Kids

This is how I sew when little Ida is awake and wont play with herself. Im sure she loves sewing with me. Straight Line quilting is great with her, can do this, but when I do FMQ and she is laying beside me, she always pulls the quilt lol

Fresh Start:

Chevron pouch -– Like promised last week, I did another pouch, and while I was working on it, little Enya already knew what it will be in the end and got totally excited. It was much faster finished, than the first one, and my binding and lining is now far better, did handbinding on this one. When I was finished, Enya already claimed it for herself, lol I thought its for both kids for there pencils, but Enya decided its just hers. So I gave in and Amelie got the bigger pouch I made last week. So I have now 2 happy kids and no pouch for mommy. *g*

Ongoing:

Once Upon A Time Sampler -– Not the best pictures shown, Im sorry, but this is my current progress on the cute sampler by The Frosted Pumpking Stitchery – January is totally finished and so cute with all the Snow White stuff on it, already started february with the frog prince.

Every Which Way (for Amelie using Lottie Da) –- Kona white arrived finally, and I made 6 more blocks, with different colors this time and totally love it how its coming along, half-way done now; next blocks already cut, and ready to sew together

Starsurround QAL -– cushion top finished, need to sew it together
Friendshipstar Quilt -– nearly half of it already quilted

Whats planned: 2x Cushion for our home
1x Cushions for my mom

WIP Wednesday – Search for Pattern Testers

Finished:
Labyrinth Quilt -– and Im sorry I cant show you the full quilt yet, but its for my dear friend Tanyia, and there should still be a little surprise for her. So I decided to just show you a peek, and after it arrives at her doorsteps, I will show you all its details.

New Start (Pattern Testers wanted!)
Totally excited about this new project, Amelie asked for a new quilt and was totally into the “Lottie Da” bundle which was waiting on my shelf for a few weeks now. Then the hard part started, searching for a pattern with her, I never thought it could be so impossible to do this. we searched half a day long, nothing satisfied her, or was far too difficult, or was for paper piecing (but my printer died, so impossible too).
After all this searching a pattern came to my mind, with designs I found out she liked during the whole search process, so I started sketching it out. When Amelie saw it, I can really say she fell in love with it, got totally excited and begged me to use it for her quilt. I couldnt be more happier with her reaction, so I decided to make my sketch into a full pattern. The pattern is already finished, it just needs some wonderful quilt pictures to include.
And thats the point where I could really need some help. Im searching for a few pattern testers, but I dont want to show too much until its released. I don’t ask for a finished quilt, just a quilt top is also perfect. I don’t want to stress anyone, so I thought I release it at the beginning of may. The pattern includes quilt sizes for: crib, lap, twin.
First I thought I wait for pattern testers till, I have my quilt top finished, but I want to give you all enough time and dont have to rush to finish it.
In this picture, you can see a peek on the block design. So if you are interested and would love to test my pattern, comment below (and be sure there is an opportunity, I can contact you back) or just shoot me a short e-mail at: cpramendorfer@gmx.at
