Last week I finished up and mailed off my Do Good Stitches blocks for October. This quilt will be for a very special young lady who is graduating from high school in June. I used the Circle of Geese free pattern.

Have you been doing any charity sewing recently?

Classic Diamond Table Runner Pattern Updated

Posted on November 2, 2015 by Melissa Dunworth

Hello All! I don’t know if you remember the free pattern I published two years for a fun Christmas Table Runner but I recently updated the pattern to include directions on how I make my Half Square Triangles.

This pattern has been downloaded thousands of times on Craftsy, and it is still available for free download. Please feel free to head over to my Craftsy Pattern Store and download it today, Christmas is heading towards us at the speed of light and this is a lightning fast pattern to make!

Happy Monday!

Quilt Market Sewing

Posted on October 30, 2015 by Melissa Dunworth

This month I had the honor and pleasure of sewing some adorable dress samples for Camelot Fabrics and their Mickey Mouse and Friends booth at Quilt Market.The first outfit I got to make was this adorable Kimono Style Romper.

This dress Anne wanted to keep! It is the Hummingbird Dress and is just lovely.

This is the Sweet Comfy Romper by Puperita. It is fully lined and completely adorable!

This is the Teeny Tiny Tunic and is a free pattern from Camelot Fabrics. I wish this came in Anne’s size (heck! I wish it came in mine!). It is hands down my favorite outfit that I got to make.

Everything looked amazing in the booth, check out this great picture from quilt market:

Camelot Fabrics wrote a great blog post about the booth yesterday and you can read about it here and they have some fabulous new lines coming out that Anne and I really excited about. This new Mickey line, but also the new Disney Princess Collection. Can’t imagine why Anne is so excited 🙂

This was part of the reason for my silence during the month of October, I had to keep these projects under wraps until they were revealed at Quilt Market, but I hope you will agree with me that they were will worth the wait!

Have a happy Friday!
