Introducing With Flying Colors

Good morning, friends!

Let me introduce you to my latest design, With Flying Colors. This lap size quilt pattern can be found in the Spring 2016 Quilt's & More magazine that is on newsstands now. My love of rainbows, bold geometric design, and solid fabrics is very apparent in this new design. I used twelve Kona solids to create this chevron rainbow effect & they are:

Cardinal 1063

Coral 1087

Kumquat 410

Papaya 149

Daffodil 148

Limelight 493

Peapod 414

Peacock 1282

Cyan 151

Mediterranean 479

Magenta 1214

Violet 1383

Want to make it mini? The kind folks at Quilts & More have put together a FREE PDF Pattern to make a mini version of the design. How fun, right?! This has been added to my "to-sew" list!

Pick up the Spring 2016 Quilts & More magazine for lots of other fabulous projects from some of your favorite designers!

Happy Sewing,
Megan

every new toy deserves a pouch, right?

well at least that's my motto -- sometimes half the fun is sewing  a new pouch! so when i got an iPad for my birthday (and giveaway!) this past weekend, that quickly became priority number 1. or maybe number 2...instagram was first definitely a must too! :)
 

i decided a simple zipper pouch would do and since i was still crushing on the two pouches i sent out earlier this week, i made one for me!  linen + rainbow, yum! just like the original two, i paired it with a contrasting zipper and zipper ends. for the lining i wanted a bit more of a punch, so i used this fun stripped print (you can find it here at Pink Castle Fabrics!) from the LouLouThi collection by Anna Maria Horner. 
 

and guess what?! my pal Erin of Two More Seconds just made an iPad pouch this week, too! be sure to head on over and show her some love! :)
