Riley Blake Designs has just released a new fabric collection called Hush Hush. It is made up of 21 different low volume fabrics created and designed by 21 different designers! This collection is a must for your low volume stash!
Of course my fabric involves cats! Ella and I worked on this print together and came up with a sweet drawing of a kitty surrounded by little hand drawn hearts. I love it so much!
Riley Blake Designes has released 3 bluebird quilt block designs and challenged the designers to create a project using the Hush Hush collection and a bluebird. So fun right? You can find all the info and the patterns HERE.
You can make a paper pieced or traditional pieced bluebird or an appliqué one. I choose the appliqué method since the quilt involves some appliqué. And I always use Heat n Bond Lite and machine appliqué in a straight stitch repeated a few times – I like fast!
My project of course involved cats! Because you can’t have birds without cats!
I used my Mod Meow quilt pattern and made only 1 of the cat posts in the pattern. I appliquéd 3 kitties from the Mod Meow fabric panel and 1 little bluebird at the top. I love it so much! For the background fabric I used my print from the Hush Hush collection and the pink hearts match the Mod Meow pink so purrrrfectly!
If you want to make a single cat post quilt like I did here are a few things to know – I shortened the “post” part a few inches since it didn’t have to fit next to anything. I added an inner low volume border cut 2.5″ wide, a teal middle border cut 2″ wide, and a low volume outer border cut 2.5″ wide. Then I used blue binding cut on the bias. You can find the Mod Meow pattern in my Etsy shop in PDF or paper. The cat panel is sold seperately.
Seriously this make me smile every time I walk by it!
Mufasa totally approves. He prefers the quilt as a table runner instead of a wall hanging so he can lay on it – it’s a cat thing 🙂
I think the reason I love summer the most is because we get to spend so much time at the beach! We love whale watching, boogie boarding, diving through the waves, watching for dolphins and seals, getting Balboa Bars, going to Surf Shops, and relaxing!!! As soon as I saw Tasha Noel’s 
For my fabrics I grabbed a selection of Riley Blake Designs fabrics from all my favorite designers – I tried to get them all in there 🙂

Kitchens usually don’t have a lot of wall space or places to hang quilts or cute crafty projects. I love hanging home made towels on my oven, it gives the kitchen that cozy feeling! Theses sweet towels also make the perfect gift! Who wouldn’t want one of these! I choose some of my favorite
