As someone who has posted about my sewing projects from time to time I felt a post about some of the inspiration behind that-specifically behind the quilting part- was long over due. I finally got my sister to say yes to a post about her and the quilts and other sewing projects she has made! We both grew up sewing a little here and there as our mom dabbled. I never would have thought I would quilt, but after some projects under my sister’s guidance you know I have made a few and have plans for more. So, I had to ask her, what got her into quilting? She said that when she found out she was expecting with Josephine and there were no quilters in the family that would be making her baby a quilt she decided she had to learn! She taught herself through tutorials on YouTube and through blog posts! (Pic is Emily at Quilt Con accidentally matching the Dolly quilt at the Moda booth)

Me, Emily, and Josephine

Jo and the 1st quilt Emily made; a quilt for her.

Emily’s second quilt was this Christmas throw she designed herself.

An apron and accessories for Jojo.

One of Emily’s first quilts was this mountain quilt for me!

My friend Megan has given me fabric several times and that has certainly been a bit of inspiration for my sewing. This improv throw pillow case was made by my sister out of the fabric with quilting by me and it’s one of my favorites. It’s been so much fun when we can work together!

Em made herself this awesome quilt coat.

Em made Jojo this quilt jacket from an old baby quilt from when we were little.

Emily made us matching purses. This one is mine.

A tote bag we worked on together along with a matching pouch by Em.

This book quilt Emily made is just AMAZING. So is the Jojo.

A quilt Emily made for her mother in law. This is the top, as it was being pieced.

A hanbok-style vest Em made herself from a pattern (it’s reversible!)

A close-up of one of my favorite quilts Em has made to date. I love the loud colors and the crazy log cabin centers!

One of Em’s most recent projects was this duffel bag for her trip to STL to take with her on the plane.

This purple and yellow quilt with colors picked out by her niece as it was a gift for her.

Emily had made a few of these fleece jackets with this one being made for Dad on request.

A tote for Mom

Pororo for Jojo

Some gifts Em made.

A colorful quilt for Dad, with tools in flannel on back!

Emily’s FAVORITE fabric line is Ruby Star Society. Their collection “Smol” by Kim Kight is what won her over. Kim Kight is also her favorite fabric designer. Pictured above is her all-time favorite pattern from that collection, the apples.
