Oh Sew Sweet! Mini Charm Pack Pattern Book 2

Quilt patterns & projects from Elizabeth Hartman.

This quilt was made by sewing 4 strips of WOF together and cutting them into blocks. I think they are 8 inch finished. Strips were 2.5 inches. The black print has cute little minnows swimming around. We used leftover fabric for the back - no surprise there! It was quilted with a pattern called Contempo which I do not recommend for busy quilts. I like it on the back but the front has too many straight lines. I think a more curved pattern would have been better.

Our Adventures on a Small Family Farm

This is the largest quilt I've ever made. It's a generous twin size at 74"x90". (See that toque poking out above the quilt? HaHa, makes me smile:) This was for a custom order. I used an entire fat quarter bundle of Hope Valley. I used up every last piece on the back, together with Essex Linen blend in natural. Love the back of this quilt SO much.

I finally finished the baby quilt for Joyce's cancer event. I get such a rush sewing on the binding. I don't know if It's because I love hand sewing or that the quilt is almost finished. It just makes me want to get another quilt started. Things I learned: When you have a deadline, quilt making is not as fun. My FMQ skills are improving, although very slowly I really enjoy FMQ, I'd like to know about your adventures with it. The supreme slider is worth EVERY penny. Www.freemotionslider.com…

Here's the quilt I finished for my niece. She doesn't know if she is having a girl or boy, so she said she wanted a brightly colored quilt for either

Remember that secret sewing project I've been promising? Well, I'm happy that I finally get to reveal it to you, because it's my turn on the Oh Sew Baby! Tutorial Series at Fort Worth Fabric Studio! I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to write up a tutorial for my Strip Tango pattern. Since making Bohemian Charm, this has been one of my go-to patterns when I need a quick quilt that is perfect for showing off pretty fabrics. In fact, I just posted another quilt I've been working…

The Reunion Quilt is complete. The fabric in this quilt is from the Reunion collection by Sweetwater for Moda. I love working with this collection. The fabrics are so fun and cheerful. The finished quilt is a donation for a church auction. Here is a brief look at the back. The pattern is the same one I used for my Rose Quilt and I am currently working on putting a pattern together. Keep an eye out and I should have it listed in my Etsy shop in the next few days. Update** The pattern is now…
