3 FREE Layer Cakes Pattern

I love layer cakes, those 10″ square stacks are just perfect for lots of different projects and big enough to make a reasonable size quilts when paired with a background fabric. I love that we can create mini bundle stacks too if you fold them!

I am always in the look out for great patterns that I can whip up when I want to use up my stash of layer cakes. And I’ve found some new ones and an oldie that I’ve been wanting to make. 

  1. This pattern is definitely going on my bucket list! I just love the chevron look and can’t wait to use my Stripology Ruler to cut out easily. 
  2. Plus pattern is always a great idea. Especially one made easy with few slashes into the layer cakes!
  3. Big Block with a whole layer cake? Check this one out. You just have to make one big block for the quilt.

Don’t forget to pin this list for future reference!

3 things Layer Cake related

  1. Working with Solid Layer Cake is a great way to save time too when paired with the printed layer cake. Check out the basic Solid Layer Cake on SALE HERE>
  2. There’s a 40-70% off Layer Cake for Mother’s Day HERE> Won’t last long, but check it out while it lasted. 
  3. This bundle. I absolutely love the book and the ruler, so many good patterns in this one. I am already ready to cut one up with this bundle of fabrics!

3 things I’m grateful for this week:

While there are tons of things to be grateful for, I want to mention these three for the week cause it is always nice to simply take the time and feel the grateful feeling. 

  1. Comment from readers like Peg & Mary from my last Tuesday Post HERE>. I truly appreciate the time that you take to leave a comment.
  2. Receiving some happy mails! I got my yardage to finish off my Sewcialites Quilt II and a couple of new things like these new 4″ foundation papers which are perfect for scraps!! yeay..
  3. Being a mother. Mother’s Day reminds me of how grateful I am to be one and to have a loving one who has sacrificed lots of her time and energy to raise us all. And I think it’s not too late to wish you a Happy Mother’s Day too!
     

What are you grateful for today?

3 FREE Table Runner Tutorials

I have been thinking of making simple table runners to have in my stash for gifting. Table runners or potholders are perfect for gifting aside from pouches. So, I have been finding some patterns to save so I can just start when I want. 

  1. Spring Flowers Table Runner. This will brighten up any table. Perfect for the Spring. 
  2. I love to have green plants around the home, so why not a green leafy vine table runner too. This table runner with free pattern seems like a quick one to make. 
  3. Chevron Table Runner. I can see this in various colours but the red one is surely on my list to make too. 

I also have the Ruby Jelly Roll Table Runner tutorial HERE on the blog that I want to recreate.

Don’t forget to pin this list for future reference!

 

3 Basics To Stock in Stash

  1. Solid fabrics are always nice to have in the stash. I rarely make a full quilt with only printed fabrics, except for scrappy ones, but still, with most of the scrappy patterns, it is an easy route to pick a solid to allow some negative space to allow the quilt pattern to shine. My favourite Solid Basic fabric is 20% off HERE, so it is always a good time to pick some for the projects you already have in mind. 
  2. I’ve been inspired to collect various background prints too after watching this interview with Susan Ache. I love the idea of a scrappy background like with this quilt I made HERE and HERE. So, I’ve signed up for low volume fat quarter bundle HERE. If you want to have a try without subscribing, check out low volume bundles HERE>
  3. Essential threads. I mostly use basic white or snow for quilting and piecing. So, these are the basics I always buy whenever there’s a sale so that they’re always in stock and so that I don’t have to buy them at full price. Check out 20% off Essential Threads HERE>

3 things I’m grateful for this week:

While there are tons of things to be grateful for, I want to mention these three for the week cause it is always nice to simply take the time and feel the grateful feeling. 

  1. Time to start some new cross-stitch projects. I am inspired by stitch Maynia and I want to start all the things, but I’ll do what I have time for. I’ve started on Every Opening Flowers this week. 
  2. Time to catch up on some quilt alongs like the Barn Star Quilt. Working with the bright and amazingly deisgn fabric is such a joy.
  3. Time to clean up my garden. Honestly, this week I have been trying to move a lot more. This intention to move has made me more productive and also limit my screen time! Yeay!

3 Happy Mail I recently received

  1. Summer Memories Book: The Quilt Along is kicking off this week with this wonderful basket quilt. Use Hashtag #summermemoriesqal to join along. If you didn’t get the chance to buy it before it was sold out, don’t worry it’ll be back in stock soon and you’ll be able to catch up later.
  2. Random Scrap Bag: This was a fun find, I love getting some fun surprises and this did not disappoint. For the price, it was well worth it, they were all full width ~ 44″ in size, some were almost a half yard size. I bought another one and waiting for that to arrive, will update what I get in that one too.

  3. A whole 4 yards of brown fabric. Not my usual colors, but I wanted to start the Scrappy Spool Quilt. There’s an all-year-long Quilt-ALong for this quilt and it is not too late to join in. Use the #scrappyspoolQAL to join in the fun. I bought the fabric from the SALE selection HERE for less than $7/yard.

 

3 Inspiring Links

  1. Sunday Preparations: This article inspires me to be more prepared and get more out of my precious sewing time. A good habit to really reap the best of the little pockets of time you have in a busy life to keep creating and making crafts.   
  2. 100 days of organic applique: what a fun idea! such a great inspiration, I always failed at keeping up with 100days of anything but the though of having a repetitive challenge is fun and this one was surely inspiring to visit too. 
  3. Scrappy corner triangle quilts: An awesome idea to use all those leftover triangles you cut out from snowballing a block. I keep lots of the bigger triangles and while sometime I turn them into half-square triangle units, this scrappy corner idea is also an option. I would love to make the bed quilt someday – the one in the video is absolutely stunning!

3 habits I’m trying to start implementing

  1. Have a break and walk after 15-20 minutes of sitting. 
  2. Clean my sewing room floor. 
  3. Have iced tea with me while I’m sewing to stay hydrated.

 

Do you have any new habits you’re implementing? Comment below and let me know!

NOTE : I no longer promote Craftsy/Bluprint as I used to due to the way the subscription is currently being carried out. I had the issue of cancelling my subscription when the company changed hand and I find that cancelling through calls is inconvenient. However, I do still stand behind these classes I promote and if you are subscribed, you can surely check these classes I recommend on the platform. If you are looking for another online platform to learn craft such as quilting, do check out CreativeBug. It is much cheaper in subscription (subscribe now 3 months for only $5). Thank you.
