CristyCreates: How lucky am I to be playing with @vchristenson 's ombres! These pretty pink geese and hexies are made with three different ombres, and they mix and match beautifully. And how cute are those selvage hexies?!?#VandCoOmbre
CristyCreates: Prepping the next border then adding pretty purple hexies. I'm so excited about this new design and can't wait to finish up the technical stuff so I can share the pattern with all of you! #brightsidequilt #brightsidemedallion #medallionquilt #cristyfinche
CristyCreates: So pretty in pink! Only two more of these borders need to be made. #brightsidequilt #brightsidemedallion #gluebasting #cristyfincherdesigns #halfsquaretriangles #quilting
CristyCreates: Pink triangles are making their way around! #brightsidequilt #brightsidemedallion #halfsquaretriangles #cristyfincherdesigns #quilting
CristyCreates: It's day 3 of the #sewphotohop! Today is all about color. For me, color choice has always been the hardest part of quilting. When I was designing this quilt, it started out in just purples. Then something hit me and inspired me to add a bit more color. Wh
CristyCreates: The center. I pretty much love it. #brightsidemedallion #brightsidequilt #gluebasting #applique #drunkardspath #cristyfincherdesigns
CristyCreates: I haven't stopped thinking about designing a medallion quilt, since talking to @thetiltedquilt and @babygotbobbin about it at the #phxmqg meeting. This is the start of it and I can't wait to start sewing! #cristyfincherdesigns #medallionquilt
CristyCreates: I just posted a review on my blog of @michaelannn 's wonderful Tiny Geese Keychain pattern. I also share some glue basting tips and tell you how to foundation piece it without having to tear away any paper in the end. Enjoy! #sewmuchlikemom #purpledaisies
CristyCreates: Over the weekend, I made my golden haired girl this sweet little dress. I love that she like to wear the dresses I make for her. The pattern is Penelope by Olive Ann Designs. I used voile, which can be tricky. Glue basting makes it so much easier, though.
CristyCreates: I'm pretty much in love with this new print I picked up for pressing boards. I'll be listing this one and four more new prints in my shop over the weekend. I took my hubby fabric shopping with me, and he picked out a few of them. 😍 #perfectpres
CristyCreates: I'm pretty excited about this new pattern that I'm working on. This is one block duplicated in PicFrame. I was inspired by the weave of a wicker chair and I just love the repeat that the design makes. The quilt math part is almost worked out, then I may n
CristyCreates: My new pattern, Glow Stick, is available in the new issue of @makemodernmagazine. They're celebrating their first anniversary with this issue, and I'm honored to be a part of it. I can't wait to see your version of Glow Stick!! #makemodern #glowstickquilt
CristyCreates: And the other side because purple and Aqua ares my most favorite. #tinygeesekeychain #paperpiecing #flyinggeese #gluebasting #alisonglass
CristyCreates: And done! @michaelannn 's pattern was so much fun. I know I'll make more of them. Using the appliqué foundation was super easy too. There were no papers to tear off, and it acts as the interfacing, so no extra step there either. #tinygeesekeychain #paperp
CristyCreates: I kinda like the rough edges, but she's going to be so pretty all trimmed up. #rainbowismyfavoritecolor #alisonglass #tinygeesekeychain by @michaelannn #flyinggeese #paperpiecing #gluebasting
CristyCreates: This little set up is working great for making a tiny flying geese keychain. @michaelannn 's pattern and tutorial are wonderful! I'm piecing it to the appliqué foundation that I use (and have in my shop). I printed the pattern onto the foundation, and pap
CristyCreates: It's all quilted!! Now for binding. Partner, do you have a preference? Yellow, orange, pink, purple or gray/black? #alisonglassminiquiltswap #agteamluckypenny #alisonglass #glowstickquilt #glowstickminiquilt
CristyCreates: I can't stop myself from quilting tiny circles. I hope my #alisonglassminiquiltswap partner doesn't mind. 😊 I'm using @quiltersdream cotton in this mini and I absolutely love it. #agteamluckypenny #freemotionquilting #quilthalo #juki #ilovemyjuki
CristyCreates: I love quilty texture on a Saturday morning. #nofilter #aghandcrafted by @alisonglass #alisonglassminiquiltswap #straightlinequilting #juki
CristyCreates: I love when the last line of quilting lands right between the one before and the seam next to it. I forgot to mark registration points at each 1/4", so this makes me extra happy. #purpledaisiesstudio #machinequilting #straightlinequilting #alisonglass #al
CristyCreates: Visiting my mom is always inspiring. She's working on a new quilt, and this is how she organizes her appliqué pieces to apply to the quilt top. I just love this. #applique #sharonschamber #mymomisamazing @sharonschamber
CristyCreates: I'm so fortunate to get to do what I love everyday. And I thank each and every one of you for letting me me a part of your quilting world. #purpledaisiesstudio #mymission #ilovequilting #ilovemyjob #quilting
CristyCreates: And it's pieced! This one is going to be hard to give up, but I'm pretty sure my #alisonglassminiquiltswap partner will give it a good home. #agteamluckypenny #alisonglass #cristyfincherdesigns #glowstickquilt #glowstickminiquilt
CristyCreates: Partner, I hope you like the looks of this for your #alisonglassminiswap quilt. It's all laid out and just needs piecing. It's a mini version of my #glowstickquilt design. #cristyfincherdesigns
CristyCreates: It's just like I imagined. 😊 I'm not feeling 100% yet, but this quilt sure cheers me up. #glowstickquilt #cristyfincherdesigns #quiltbinding
CristyCreates: Baby Oliver's quilt finished up wonderfully! And I added "rock pockets" to keep it anchored to the ground on windy days at the park. They're fabulous! (the pocket will actually face the ground 😊) #plusquilt #shannoncuddle #freemotionquilting
CristyCreates: Two teacher gifts done! Two more to go. #fbppatterns #endoftheschoolyear #handmadeteachergifts
CristyCreates: It's unsewn and rough around the edges, but I'm so happy with how this design is working out. More soon! #cristyfincherdesigns #paperlesspaperpiecing #gluebasting #alisonglass @alisonglass
CristyCreates: I love when a plan comes together! @alisonglass #cristyfincherdesigns #alisonglass #paperlesspaperpiecing #gluebasting
CristyCreates: This is coming together even better than I had imagined. I can't wait until I can share it all. #secretsewing #cristyfincherdesigns #gradient
