My Bebe Dress

 I completed my Bebe dress back in February, when it was cold and I had time to sew.  I had purchased the Bebe Dress pattern from Serendipity Studio's awhile ago.  I chose the Joel Dewberry fabric Ornate Floral in Amethyst and Ribbon Lattice in Fuchsia to make the dress.  I had procrastinated making the dress because I don't enjoy laying out and cutting out the pattern pieces.  But once I finally decided I was going to do it, it only took about a week to get together.  I thought the pattern and directions were well put together.

Here I am wearing the dress on Sunday.  It's a fun, happy dress.

Curve it Up Blocks using Quick Curve Ruler

 I picked up this 1/2 yard bundle of Art Gallery fabrics at Sample Spree during Spring Quilt Market.  This is 9 (1/2 yards) of Modernology by Pat Bravo.  It's very fun and happy colors.

I had received the Quick Curve Ruler© from my husband for Christmas, but put it away thinking the patterns looked a little difficult.  While at Spring Quilt Market I got to meet the ladies of Sew Kind of Wonderful and watch the quick demo they were doing.  It looked easy.  So I picked up the "Curve It Up" pattern and decided to try it out.  My first couple of curves weren't perfect, it takes a little practice.  After about 3 tries the curves seemed to click and now it seems easy.

Here are my first 3 Nine Patch blocks from "Curve it Up".  I decided to pick just one of the 12 blocks out of the pattern and make a whole quilt from it.  I'm using Kona Iron Grey to mix with the Modernology.  I love

 how they are turning out, and the curves are so fun.  

Check out my website this week www.roseroomquilts.com and save 15% off the Quick Curve Ruler© and patterns.  Sale ends Monday, August 18th, 2014.

Dresden Pillow

Here's a picture of my completed Dresden Pillow using Flea Market Fancy fabrics.  I used the pattern in the PillowPop book which was fairly easy to follow.  I added a zipper to the back instead of just a flap closure. 

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  Finished size is about 18" x 18".  I used a 20" pillow form to make it look full.

There are a lot of great quilting/pillow patterns in the PillowPop book. 

Gray Elephants on Parade

Here's my completed Gray Elephants on Parade Quilt.  I found a cute clip art image, then pulled it into my 6D Embroidery software and created an applique elephant in 2 sizes.  I love the cute elephants.  I used lots of my great gray fabrics.  

I made a simple back with squares turned on point.  

Quilt Market - Part 2

 Here's some shots of the Riley Blake booth.

 Love the elephants in the new Oh Boy collection.

Butterfly Dance from Riley Blake is really cuter for a little girl quilt.

I loved this Allison Glass booth.  

 The Tessellation quilt was one of my favorites at the show.

 I also really liked some of the new dearStella fabrics.  The Woodwinked owls below are one of my favorites.

Quilt Market - Part 1

I attended sample spree last night and quilt market today.  It was great.  So much to see.  I'll post a few pictures today, more tomorrow.

 Loved these patterns from Sassafras Lane Designs.  I picked up one of the patterns last night at Sample Spree.

 I met Angela Walters at her booth, she was so nice.  The dress and quilt she made are amazing.  The pictures don't do it justice.

This butterfly quilt at the Art Gallery booth was great.

And here's a shot of the Birch Fabrics booth.  Love their fabrics too.

Going to Quilt Market

I'm off to Quilt Market in Pittsburgh tomorrow.  I'm so excited.  I have a pass for sample spree tomorrow evening.  This will be my first time at Quilt Market.  I'll post some pictures when I get back.
