I made the Schoolhouse Tunic by Sew Liberated for my Quilt Market adventure in Portland. The lightweight fabric selected from my stash is similar to a tana lawn in weight. We just received a new Liberty Lawn which is very similar to the one I used. To create a bit more room for the bust,…
I found a great skirt tutorial. I must share! The Cerisy Skirt from Rachael at Imagine Gnats. The reversible skirt, yes I said reversible, uses a knit fabric band instead of elastic. The classic A line skirt is my favorite style. And there is no hemming! The Anna Maria Horner Field Study Pressed Field Poppy…
Inspired by the summer season, Megan made 3 Tiny Pocket Tanks from Grainline Studio. The downloadable pattern makes it easy to start sewing anytime the mood strikes. The yardage requirement is 2 yards of 45″ quilting cotton or 1 7/8 yards for 54″ wide fabric. The Black Tank is made of Robert Kaufman’s Brussels Washer…
Cindy had fun sewing up the Special Occasion Tote by Sew Fun this weekend. Her fabric choice is Etsuko Furuya Echino Fall Collection 2012 Insect Pink and Echino Ni-Co 2012 Maruco Purple, with Kaffee Fasset Paperweight Purple. The bucket-style tote has 6 interior dividers/pockets. It’s designed as a baby organizer but would be great to…
I’ve been feeling the love for Lotta Jansdotter’s Glimma collection since it came out. The Glimma Canvas in Kulla Slate and Tove Slate called out to be a Mail Sack by Pink Chalk Studio. The exterior is canvas with a quilting cotton interior. Even though I used the canvas I attached interfacing to the interior…

The curved blocks give the traditional nine patch an up-to-date, contemporary look. Cindy found the curved shape easy to sew. The ruler makes it a…
Becky made herself the Schoolhouse Tunic by Sew Liberated. The fabric chosen is a lightweight shirting called Diamond Floral in Navy. A dress and shirt length are both included in the pattern. The versatile pattern leaves a lot of room for embellishing with small details to make the finished Tunic your own design style. The…
Lotta Jansdotter’s Glimma Collection inspired me to make a Note Taker by Pink Chalk Studio to take with me to Quilt Market in Portland. I’m hoping all the pockets and full size note pad will keep me super organized. 2 different prints were used for the exterior Glimma Kulla Orange Nut and Glimma Kita Fog….
Carrie and friends dreamed up the Money Bead Birthday Necklace for a certain someone here at Pink Chalk who just turned 50. Each bead is a rolled dollar bill, wrapped with paper then taped to secure each bill. Carrie added washi tape, for color, to a handful of beads. The beads are strung using pearl…
I’m excited to share the finished quilt back for the quilt top started in Denyse Schmidt’s Improvisational Patchwork class at Quiltcon. In the original blog post about the quilt top, you may remember, I selected all the solids to coordinate specifically with the Lucky Penny collection. All those great colors were in my bag at…
