Good Hair Day Pillow Set Tutorial

Good Hair Day Pillow Set

Good Hair Day Pillow Set

Look at the lovely Good Hair Day Pillow Set!

These were fun to design, I spent many hours testing different hair designs before finding the 3 that worked the best on these pillows. These have been very popular and I got many squeals when people saw them at Houston Quilt Market.

The Pillow front is made with appliqué and quilted lines. The back of the pillow can be finished with your preferred pillow finish technique.

I’ve written up a tutorial for these pillows and I can’t wait to see you make them too. Find it here. It’s so much fun to see your projects made with Good Hair Day!

Making Waves Quilt

Making Waves Quilt

by See How We Sew

This project was created by Pati Fried and Laura Nownes of See How We Sew. Pati is a friend that I met through the East Bay Modern Quilt Guild. When Pati said that they would love to create something with Tidal Lace I was over moon! Together they came up with the Making Waves Quilt which brings squeals of delight every time someone lays their eyes on it.

Amanda and I met though the fabulous Quilt Design a Day group on Facebook. When I asked Amanda if she would create something with Tidal Lace she came back with the stunning Tide Pool Quilt. These huge wheels of design goodness first got their inspiration from one of the Tidal Lace fabric designs! I love how she was able to take her design and interpret it with Tidal Lace!

The pattern is available from mysewcialhour.bigcartel.com.

Adrianne’s Happy Kelp quilt is bright and fresh and brings some inspiration to us from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I love reading Adrianne’s process behind her quilts and you must see the quilty texture on Happy Kelp. It’s sublime!

Miriam and I also met through the Quilt Design a Day group on Facebook. Miriam’s wonderful Colored Pavement Quilt is the one featured on the cover of the Tidal Lace look book. Her quilt design is amazing, she uses the Tidal Lace border print (in White Ombre) so well to create this lovely lightness in her design. I can’t wait to make one of these for myself!

Eucalyptus Rain Fence Quilt (Coming Soon)

by Madeleine Roberg

I first met Madeleine through The Printed Bolt and their online competition REPEAT(ed). When I heard that she was starting her own sewing pattern company, Domestic Strata, I knew that we had to get her sewing patterns and Tidal Lace fabric together. Madeleine created the Eucalyptus Rail Fence Quilt (you have to see the hand quilting on this!).

It will be available soon at domesticstrata.com.
