Possibilities Quilt

1 / 14 / 211 / 14 / 21

I’ve been busy behind the scenes working on a new project that I can finally share: The Possibilities Quilt. The name says a lot for this project. It’s a quilt with possibilities and options!

I’ve wanted to teach a skill-building class that doesn’t last too long, but it’s long enough to give you a lap-size quilt in the end. I designed this quilt with four different quilt blocks (10″ finished) that range in complexity and skill level. But that wasn’t enough. I wanted you to have options as to how to set the blocks into a quilt. There are three options that also range in complexity and skill level. This gives you the ability to customize the quilt size and the time commitment involved.

Option one is the smallest and easiest. It has sashing and cornerstones and measures 45″ x 58″. Option two is a little more complex with the blocks set on point and requires one extra block. This quilt measures 59″ square. Option three is the most difficult with the blocks set inside another unit which makes a very cool secondary design. This is the largest option and measures 60″ x 76″.

The pattern for this quilt is not finished yet. (That’s my current project.) Once it is, I’ll have it available in my Etsy shop for purchase.

I’ll be teaching the Possibilities Quilt Along at The Granary Quilt Shop via Zoom classes. There are a total of five weekly classes, starting Tuesday, January 26, at 7:00 pm (pacific time). Each class will last approximately 45 minutes and will be recorded. If you’re interested, you can sign up online here. The cost is $30 for the class plus $10 for the pattern. Fabric kits are also available.

I try to pack as much information into my classes as possible. I share my favorite techniques for fast and efficient piecing along with the mechanics of each block. If there’s a way to make something easier, I’ll find it and pass it along!


I made the quilt sample for this class out of batiks. I think this quilt will eventually go to Mr. Crafty Quilter. He was complaining that he didn’t have his own quilt yet. I know, how is that possible? I share all of my quilts with him!

Below is a close up of the fabrics I used. The tan with circles did not make it into the quilt but it’s representative of the tan I used. I started with the border fabric which is Desertscapes by Lunn Studios for Robert Kaufman Fabrics. I often choose a focus fabric to build my color palette around. It works every time!

Batiks used for my Possibilities Quilt @ The Crafty Quilter

The kits for this colorway have sold out, but I’ve come up with an alternative that is similar. It’s the same focus fabric, but in a slightly different color. This grouping has purple and green to complement the border fabric, and it will have the same or similar brown and tan fabric. It’s a beautiful, jewel tone collection!


Today, I played with another fabric collection that is not batik and very different in color range. Golden Aster from Riley Blake is a beautiful collection of navy, pink and gold that I love. With the magic of EQ, I was able to audition a few possibilities. The Granary will most likely offer this as a Possibilities Kit as well.


I’m excited to be teaching again, even though it’s virtually. How about you guys? Have you tried any Zoom classes yet? There are so many things I enjoy about this new platform. The best part is the fact that I don’t have to drive anywhere and I can keep my slippers on!

I hope you’re having a great week. Thanks for reading!

8 resources for free quilt block patterns

1 / 7 / 211 / 7 / 21

The other day I was looking for the dimensions for a particular quilt block pattern. This led me down a rabbit hole, but in the end, I discovered 8 resources for free quilt block patterns! What’s a good quilting buddy going to do but share them with her friends!

Check out these 8 resources for FREE quilt block patterns @ The Crafty Quilter!
  1. Generations Quilt Patterns is a website that is loaded, I mean filled to the brim loaded, with free resources for quilters. It has a Free Quilt Block Patterns Library that includes pictures of block construction, pressing directions and tips. The quilt block patterns are categorized by name and by size which is so helpful.
  1. With a library of over 150 Free Quilt Block Patterns, Quilting Daily has you covered. This is the home of McCall’s Publishing, Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting, Quiltmaker (you remember Quiltmaker’s 100 Quilt Blocks Magazines) and Quilting Arts Magazine among others. You’ll find quilt blocks from easy to challenging and traditional to modern, all categorized alphabetically.
  1. Patchwork Square is a place for quilters to download free quilt blocks for personal use. Wendy, the creator of this website, says it’s an ongoing adventure with new quilt block patterns being added regularly. You’ll find something for every skill level and they’re organized by name, size and style. This makes it easy to find “flower quilt blocks” or “nine-patch blocks” for example.
  1. Quilt Blocks Galore is just what it says; home to hundreds of free quilt block patterns courtesy of Quilter’s Cache. Not only are there block patterns, but you’ll also find quilt border patterns, paper piecing templates, simple applique shapes, quilt labels and yardage formulas to name a few!
  1. All People Quilt has a nice selection of traditional quilt blocks and fun applique designs available. Their instructions are very easy to follow and there is a download link available for most patterns.
  1. Fave Quilts has 50+ Free Quilt Block Patterns & Quilt Block Ideas that range from traditional to modern. I liked the variety here, so it’s definitely worth a look.
  1. If you’re looking specifically for applique blocks, check out Free Applique where you’ll find tons of patterns that you can download and print. They’re categorized by basic shapes and by theme.
  1. Another applique resource is Fave Quilts featuring 26 Free Applique Quilt Patterns that are very cute. These aren’t necessarily quilt blocks, but some of them could be used as such, and I thought they were worth mentioning.

Resource Books

I also thought I would mention several books that are wonderful resources for quilt blocks (affiliate links).

  • Ultimate Quilt Block Collection by Lynne Goldsworthy. 60+ modern and non-traditional quilt blocks along with some classics too.
  • The Quilt Block Bible from Rosemary Youngs. This has 200+ traditionally-inspired quilt blocks. I don’t have this one, but it’s on my list!
  • Tula Pink’s City Sampler: 100 Modern Quilt Blocks. Perfect for anyone who prefers the modern aesthetic.
  • Around the Block Again: More Rotary-Cut Blocks by Judy Hopkins. Here you’ll find patterns for making pieced blocks and modern rotary-cutting techniques.
  • The New Quick & Easy Block Tool by C&T Publishing. Includes 110 quilt blocks in 5 sizes with project ideas, too! A great reference tool to have.

There you have it! Lots of free quilt block pattern resources to add to your list along with book recommendations to add to your library. Happy Quilting!

Sew Thankful Sunday, January 2021

1 / 3 / 211 / 3 / 21

{I love the idea of “paying it forward”. I think the world would be a better place if we could spread some joy and acknowledgement of good deeds done by others. I try to do that once a month for my Sew Thankful Sunday posts. I highlight some great content that I’ve found on other people’s blogs that I hope will inspire you and reward the originator by bringing traffic to their site. If your blog has been mentioned without your consent, please let me know and I will take you off the current list of featured bloggers.}

Sew Thankful Sunday January 2021 is full of tips to organize your projects and new block of the month programs to start the new year!

Welcome to the New Year! January is when many people think of starting new projects or maybe just a fresh start. Either way, you’ll find plenty of inspiration in today’s Sew Thankful Sunday post.

Note:  If you use Pinterest, please pin from the original source and not this blog post. Remember, you can click on any of the images in this post and it will open up a new tab to the associated link.

  1. Setting a goal to sew a little bit every day seems daunting but wonderful. Julie at The Intrepid Thread has created the Sew365Project to encourage anyone to set aside 5 minutes each day to sew something. You can sign up to receive emails with prompts and information about upcoming prizes and more. Sounds like a nice way to treat yourself every day!
  1. Brigitte at Zen Chic is sharing a digital gift to her blog and newsletter followers: a free printable Quilt Planning Project Sheet. This is a great way to start the New Year and keep your projects organized!

  1. Cindy at Quilt Doodle Doodles is kicking off 2021 with her Woodland Holiday Block of the Month. This BOM will feature lovely applique blocks and are free during the month they are featured and then available to purchase for $2.50 afterward.
  1. Amy at Diary of A Quilter looked back upon 2020 and showcased her Top 10 Most Popular Sewing & Quilting Tutorials from the past year. I have a few favorites here!
  1. If you want to meet some new bloggers (and be inspired), check out the Best of 2020 Linky Party from Cheryl at Meadow Mist Designs. There are lots of creative bloggers out there who share their favorites from the past year.
  1. Block of the month (BOM) quilts are one of my favorite things, so I was really happy to see the All The Hearts BOM from Melissa at Polkadot Chair recently. This adorable quilt pattern is a one-time purchase and each month you’ll receive the pdf instructions and tips delivered via email.

  1. Do you like a good mystery? If so, get ready for the Nancy Zieman 2021 free! block of the month mystery quilt series: Merry Christmas All Year Round. On the third Saturday of each month, the team at NZP will share a free quilt block tutorial for creating one block design with the NEW! Merry Little Christmas Fat Quarter Bundle and Fabric Panel by Sandy Gervais for Riley Blake Designs. I’m very intrigued!
NZP 2021 Free BOM Mystery Quilt Series: Merry Christmas All Year Round
  1. Have you joined the All People Quilt 2021 UFO Challenge? It’s a fun way to motivate yourself to tackle that list of unfinished projects that seem to accumulate. They recently did a podcast, Finally Tackle Your Pile of UFO’s, that I really enjoyed!
  1. I’ll end this list with something that I am truly sew thankful for. That is the ability to teach quilting to others during this pandemic. I’ve been using Zoom to teach several classes through my local quilt shop, and it’s been a learning process for me and my students! I’m going to throw in a little shameless self-promotion below, if you’re interested.

  • I’m co-teaching a block of the month quilt class through The Granary Quilt Shop via Zoom meetings. We’re using the pattern, Red At Night 2, by Bound To Be Quilting and it starts this Friday, January 8 at 3:00 pm Pacific Time. You pick your own fabrics, and I’m using a collection of Kismet Fabric by Sharon Holland for Art Gallery Fabrics.

  • Because this class is using an online platform, we have room for more students and you don’t need to live within a 20 mile radius! If you’re looking for a new project for 2021 and you want to sharpen your piecing skills, we would love to have you join us! You can sign up here or email me (julie at thecraftyquilter dot com) for more details.

I hope your year is off to a great start! I’m so glad you visited today and hopefully you found some new projects to start or motivation to get your sewing projects organized for 2021. Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays and some handmade gifts

12 / 27 / 2012 / 27 / 20

I wanted to take a moment to say Happy Holidays and wish you a wonderful New Year! I’ve been absent from blogging the past few weeks while I finished last minute gifts and attempted to make this Christmas a merry one despite being apart from family and friends. I’m sure we can all agree that 2020 has been a year of strange and crazy things, and I look forward to 2021 with optimism and hope.

Happy Holidays from Julie at The Crafty Quilter!

Handmade gifts

I can finally share a few gifts I made in December. The first one was a secret Santa gift for one of my co-workers at The Granary Quilt Shop. I made her a fabric stationery pouch/organizer and some handmade cards. The pattern is called “Handy Organizer” and it came from the book, Sewing to Sell by Virginia Lindsay. There are so many great project ideas and tips for marketing in this book! She also has a second book out, More Sewing to Sell, that I just ordered and can’t wait to read.

My next project was a doll tent for my granddaughter, Amelia. The pattern for this came from WonderfulWellies Etsy shop and it fits a 14″ doll (Wellie Wisher doll size) perfectly. It also has instructions for an 18″ doll (American Girl doll size). The tent came together much easier than I expected which was a nice surprise.

Both granddaughters loved it so much that I already have a request for another one for Clara (on the left). These girls are going to keep this grandma in business for a while!

I had plans to make other gifts, but there never seems to be enough time. However, I did receive some very special, handmade gifts that I’d like to share. My secret Santa, Lynnellen, made me a beautiful mug rug that I just love (and use). It came with an assortment of herbal teas, so I’m all set for my afternoon tea time!

I was surprised by a sweet neighbor who is also a quilter and customer at my LQS with this gorgeous embroidered dish towel. Linda’s handwork is exquisite – even the back of this monogram is perfect!

My dear husband, Mr. Crafty Quilter, knows me so well. He ordered this custom wooden plaque for me on Etsy: SewPerfectlyYours. I love it and it’s going on my sewing room door.

Julie's Happy Place @ The Crafty Quilter. Purchased from Etsy.

Speaking of my sewing room, I have to show you how upside down it gets when I’m working on a project. I have a small area designated for paper crafting and when I need to make a card, everything comes out of the closet and onto all available surfaces. This is what it looked like while making four cards for my secret Santa gift. An explosion of chaos and creativity occurs; fortunately, it cleans up nicely.

The wall hanging that you see above my ironing station is one of my free tutorials from 2013. The wall hanging that peaks through the photo of Julie’s Happy Place (and shown below), was made from a tutorial by Lori Holt on Instagram in 2014. It was under the hashtag #haveyourselfaquiltylittlechristmas.

Just a reminder that my Lincoln Stars quilt pattern is still on sale for $7 until the end of December in my Etsy Shop. I love having this on my couch all winter.


Sometimes life gives us reminders of how fortunate many of us are. All you have to do is turn on the news to see people who have lost their jobs, their businesses and worst of all a loved one due to Covid (or other conditions). Holidays spent away from extended family has made me thankful for today’s technology and our Zoom calls have helped pull me through.

There’s definitely been a shift in perspective. Small things are just that – small. Last week I had a tiny scratch on my hand that somehow turned into a swollen and extremely painful lump that kept me from using my right hand. I couldn’t even squeeze a tube of toothpaste. Today, it’s finally pain-free (but still swollen), and I can use it again. It made me appreciate my body and how fortunate I am to NOT have chronic pain or illness.

I am also very grateful for all of you. This online community of generous and amazing quilters and creators has been a blessing. Thank you for your kindness and support in 2020. I look forward to brighter things to come next year and to spending some of it with you at The Crafty Quilter. Happy Holidays!

Easy cork fabric projects and tutorial

12 / 12 / 2012 / 12 / 20

Christmas will be here before you know it, so I wanted to give you a quick gift option that you can sew up in a day. I’ve been wanting to make some easy cork fabric projects and I’ve come up with two! These Cork Coasters and Cork Mug Rug are perfect for that special handmade gift!

Check out these quick & easy cork fabric projects at The Crafty Quilter.  This Cork coaster and cork mug rug tutorial are Perfect for last minute gifts!

I am new to sewing with cork fabric, but I have to tell you it’s lovely! I did a little research first and found that cork is a great renewable resource and it’s naturally water, dust and stain resistant. You can read more about sewing with cork here. The cork I used for this tutorial, Cork Touch Pro, is applied to an upholstery grade backing material and comes in many colors. It’s easy to cut with scissors or a rotary cutter and it doesn’t fray (bonus)! I used it as applique for this project and it was very easy to stitch through.

I know we don’t all have cork fabric sitting in our stash. Alternative materials would be pleather (fake leather), Kraftex, wool, or any material that doesn’t fray. Just remember that it may need to be heat resistant if you’re going to use it with hot mugs.

Check out these quick & easy cork fabric projects at The Crafty Quilter.  This Cork coaster and cork mug rug tutorial are Perfect for last minute gifts!

Cork Coasters

These cork coasters measure a little over 4″ square and are very simple to make. You’ll need scraps of cotton fabric for the front and back, batting scraps, cork fabric (or other) and water soluble glue – I like Roxanne’s Glue Baste It. Charm packs would work well for these.

To make four coasters, you’ll need to cut (4) 4 5/8″ squares of fabric for the front and for the back. I know that sounds like a strange measurement, but 4 1/2″ squares turned out just a tad too small. The batting should be cut 1/4″ smaller than the fabric, so 4 3/8″ squares. We’ll cut the cork fabric in a later step.

  • Layer the top and bottom fabric squares, right sides together. Place the batting square, centered, on top. Clip or pin in place.
  • Using a walking foot, stitch 1/4″ around all four sides, leaving a 2″ opening on one side for turning.
  • Clip corners to reduce bulk and turn right side out.
  • Press flat, turning the open seam allowances under.
  • Edgestitch 1/8″ from the edges using a coordinating thread. This will close up the gap as well. I adjusted my stitch length to 2.7.

I made two different designs for the coasters. The first one is a Lemoyne Star. I made a template from a recycled card; you can also use cardstock or a file folder. Draw a 3 1/2″ vertical line. Bisect that line with a 2″ horizontal line (1 3/4″ down). Connect the ends of those lines on all four sides – they should measure 1 3/4″. This will be the main diamond shape, and it will eventually be cut into 4 smaller diamonds.

Trace the diamond template onto the back of the cork fabric. I added little registration marks on the center of each side of the diamond, but they’re not really necessary. Cut the diamond shape from the cork fabric and then cut it into quarters. The measurement on a ruler should be 7/8″ from the edge. Repeat to make 12 small diamonds.

Arrange six diamond shapes on top of a coaster, leaving a little space in between. One at a time, apply water-soluble glue to the wrong side of each shape. Avoid getting glue close to the edges where you’ll be stitching. Press with a warm iron to help the glue dry.

Edgestitch each diamond shape with matching thread and using a walking foot. I used a jeans/denim needle, size 90/14; you could also use a topstitch needle, size 80/12 or larger. The bobbin thread should match the back fabric.

The other shape I used for my cork coasters was an Ohio Star. These are cut easily from 1 1/4″ squares. You’ll need to cut (1) 1 1/4″ square and (2) 1 1/4″ squares which are cut diagonally twice.

Arrange the square and triangles on the coasters and glue in place. Edgestitch as with the other coasters.

You can mix and match fabric colors or designs to make a really unique gift. Maybe consider a monogram out of cork, just remember that you’ll have to stitch around the shape. The simpler the shape, the easier to stitch!

Cork Mug Rugs

Once I made the cork accented coasters, I knew I had to make some mug rugs with cork. I wanted a design that was simple, quick and easy, so I came up with these. I like that they can hold a mug and a treat!

Check out these quick & easy cork fabric projects at The Crafty Quilter.  This cork mug rug tutorial is Perfect for last minute gifts!

The finished size of these mug rugs is 6 1/4″ x 8 1/4″. You’ll need the following materials:

  • (2) 4 1/2″ squares of coordinating fabric
  • (2) 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles
  • (1) 6 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ rectangle for the back
  • (1) 6 1/4″ x 8 1/4″ rectangle batting
  • (2) 2 3/4″ squares of cork fabric

  • Stitch the rectangles and squares together with a 1/4″ seam to make the mug rug top.
  • Layer the mug rug top and bottom fabric, right sides together. Place the batting rectangle, centered, on top. Clip or pin in place.
  • Using a walking foot, stitch 1/4″ around all four sides, leaving a 2″-3″ opening on one side for turning.
  • Clip corners to reduce bulk and turn right side out.
  • Press flat, turning the open seam allowances under.
  • Edgestitch 1/8″ from the edges using a coordinating thread. This will close up the gap as well. I adjusted my stitch length to 2.7.
  • Quilt along the center seam (optional).

Apply water soluble glue to the back of the cork squares and press in place. Edgestitch around the sides using a walking foot and coordinating thread. I chose a contrasting thread for this and I like how it turned out.

You can definitely play with the cork shapes for this if you’d like. I wanted to keep it simple, so I clipped the corners on the second mug rug to make them into octagons. You could also repeat the designs from the coasters here.

The nice thing about all of these projects is there is no binding! It keeps the process quick and easy so you have time to get things done.
