Spring Table Runner, design by Kathy Frye.

Completed size: 15.5” x 43.5”
Featuring a combination of fabrics from the Sunny Happy Skies and Puppy Parks collections by Bella Blvd

Supplies and Cutting Directions
Please read all directions first.  All seams are 1/4" 

3/8 yd - Green (SHS) tone on tone floral – cut (3) pieces 12.5” squares

3/4 yd – Aqua, Green, Black (PP) stripe  - cut (3) pieces 2.5” x width of fabric (borders), cut (1) piece 16” x width of fabric (back), and cut (6) squares 2.5” (pieced sashing)

1/4 yd – Green Grid (PP) – appliquéd leaves and cut (6) squares 2.5” (pieced sashing)

1/3 yd – Aqua Lace (SHS) - appliquéd flowers and cut (6) squares 2.5” (pieced sashing)

1/4 yd – Yellow Grid (PP) – appliquéd flower centers and cut (6) pieces 2.5” (pieced sashing)

3/8 yd - Tan Burlap – cut (3) squares 11” (pull a burlap thread both directions in a corner, then cut in the ‘gap” between the threads. Repeat to get the gap in the opposite corner, measuring 11” over. Pull a thread 11” down from the first mark, to get an 11” sq.)

15.” x 43”   Fusible Fleece

1 yd - Fusible Product for appliqué

Threads to match fabrics for appliqué

Tear away stabilizer for behind appliqué

Piecing and Appliqué Directions

Trace the flower 3 times onto the paper side of the fusible product. Cut around the flowers (not on the traced line, cut a little bigger), fuse the shape to the back of the Aqua Lace fabric (follow the manufacturer’s directions). Now cut the flowers out on the traced line. 

Trace the flower center 3 times, fuse to the back of the Yellow Grid fabric, cut out.

Trace the leaves, 2 or 3 of each leaf, fuse to the back of the Green Grid fabric, and cut them out.

Fringe the burlap squares, about 3/4 inch on each side.

Layer burlap square on a Green 12.5” square, centering the burlap. Pin. Using matching thread, do a regular zig-zag stitch around the burlap square, stitching at the start of the fringe. This will secure the burlap to the fabric, and also prevent more fringing. Repeat for other 2 squares.

Center and fuse the flowers and leaves on the burlap, be sure to tuck the rounded leaf ends under the flowers. Center the flower center and fuse.

Pin a square of stabilizer behind the green fabric before appliquéing. To appliqué, use a satin stitch (very close zip-zag) and match your thread color to the appliqué pieces. Secure your stitches at the beginning and end. Or use the appliqué method of your choice. The pieces do not have to be reversed. Appliqué the leaves first.

When appliquéing the flower petals, stitch over the leave stitching ends, securing them again.

Appliqué the flower centers last, stitch over the ends of the flower petal stitching, securing them also. Remove the stabilizer.

{back view of the block after the appliqué is finished}

Piece a variety of the 2.5” squares together to make a sashing piece – 2.5” wide x 12.5” long. Make 2 of these sashing pieces. Press the seam allowances all the same direction.

Sew a pieced sashing strip to a flower block, (right sides together), press the seam allowance away from the sashing strip. Repeat, so that the 2 sashing strips are in between the 3 flower blocks.

Measure the length of the table runner, using that measurement, cut 2 of the border strips to that measurement. Sew the 2 long border pieces to the center of the table runner. Press seams towards the borders. Now measure the width of the table runner, cut the 2 short borders to that measurement. Sew the 2 short borders and press seams. Press the table runner.

Finishing

The backing fabric piece will be a little short, so add another piece of leftover fabric to the end, making it the same size as the finished front.

Fuse the Fusible Fleece piece to the wrong side of the backing fabric (follow the manufactures directions). It should be just a tiny bit smaller than the back, to reduce the bulk in the seams.

Layer the table runner front with the back /fusible fleece piece – right sides together. Pin the sides. Sew around all 4 sides, leave a 6” opening on a short side for turning. Trim the corners. Turn the table runner right side out. Press the edges. Hand sew the opening closed. Quilt as desired!

Riley Blake Designs Introduces Too Cute To Spook

introduces

Too Cute to Spook from Bella Blvd and Stephanie Hunt was inspired by the hugely popular paper and sticker scrapbooking collection. The Riley Blake team knew it would be a hit and so the fabric adaptation quickly began! Stephanie's favorite print in the collection HAS TO BE the little Trick or Treaters, "Spook." She is also a sucker for polka dots & loves the black based dot with the pop of colors!

The fabrics will begin shipping to quilting retailers near the end of April.

Halloween Pillows, by Tiffany Hood.

Too Cute To Spook is one of my all-time favorite Bella Blvd collections, and I was so excited when I heard it would be in FABRIC!!! Those adorable little monsters and spiders will be so fun to create more fun projects with this fall.

 

The owl was made with several cute prints in this collection. His eyes and tummy were blanket stitched, and his eyes and arms have Bella Blvd's cute Button Market Buttons. The pillow was made with the cute monster print, and finished with cording.

Supplies:
Riley Blake Too Cute To Spook cotton fabrics by Bella Blvd; Button Market: Plaid Buttons, Blues Buttons; Rope Cording; Fusible Fleece; Poly-Fil Stuffing; Wonder-Under; Owl Pattern: Curiosities & Mischief by Art to Heart; Lettering: Curiosities & Mischief by Art to Heart

Fabric Beach Towel Bag, by Tiffany Hood.

I'm getting in the mood for summer even though it's still snowing here in Utah. I wanted to make some projects for my kids for the beach and swimming lessons- so I made a Beach Towel Bag. I'm hoping all my kids will have one before summer to tote around their swimming gear in.

 

These bags are great because it's actually a towel with a square of fabric sewn to the outside of it, and a drawstring. The bag never gets lost because it's attached.

There's an extra pocket on the outside for more gear, but the inside is actually very roomy. Even with the towel folded inside it I could easily fit sandals, sunscreen, toys, sunglasses and a small lunch. These are very cheap to make, too. I got the towel at Wal-Mart for about $3.50 and it's big and super soft, and the Puppy Park fabrics were a perfect match.

 

Supplies:
Bath towel or beach towel; Puppy Park Fabrics; Rope (about 4 feet)

Sunny Happy Quilt, by Kathy Frye.

This quilt is named after the fabric line, Sunny Happy Skies, and that is just what it is, sunny and happy! I designed it by framing the appliqued flowers in the quilt blocks. My style of quilting is very scrappy, so the fabrics that frame the flower blocks were strips and scraps that I combined to make the blocks the right size. I like to add little scraps in with the strips as a surprise element. I used various widths of green rick rack for the flower stems, easy and cute!

Supplies:
Cotton fabric, flannel fabric (back), rick rack, cotton batting, thread

Fabric Camera Strap, by Tiffany Hood.

I recently got a new camera, and the old strap just wasn't good enough :)  So I knew just where to turn- my darling Bella Blvd fabrics!  My favorite color is aqua, and I'm in love with the aqua print in the Sunny Happy Skies fabric line. I paired it with an aqua and apple green stripe print from the Puppy Park line. They coordinate perfectly!

Then to top it off, I used a large and small Azzini "Baby Blooms a Bella" cotton flower, removed the white buttons from the centers, layered them on top of each other, and then stitched a Tie Die and Pickle Square button to the center for a cute embellishment!

Supplies:
Sunny Happy Skies Cotton Fabric; Puppy Park Cotton Fabric; Baby Blooms a Bella: Azzini; Button Market: Tie Dye, Pickle Squares; Thin batting

Baby Quilt, by Tiffany Hood. 

My little sister is having her first girl in a few months, so I was so excited to use the adorable Sunny Happy Skies fabrics to make her a baby quilt!  I love the colors in this line, and they're so perfect for quilting.

This pattern is "Daisy May" from Stitch Studios by Cyndi Walker.  For the back of the quilt I used minky fabric which is super cuddly and lush for a baby.  In the center of each flower is a yo-yo that was made using a Clover Brand Yo-Yo maker, but you could make these by hand as well.

 

I think I may snuggle up in this every night until the baby comes, what do you think?  :)

Supplies:
Bella Blvd Sunny Happy Skies Fabrics; Pink rose-style minky fabric; Clover Brand Yo-Yo Maker Tool size small; Pattern: "Daisy May" by Stitch Studios by Cyndi Walker

Tote Bag, by Kathy Frye.

I designed this tote bag with traveling in mind!  It features a zipper top, pockets inside and out, and plenty of room for necessities! The detail in this bag is great for showing off fun fabric, like Sunny Happy Skies. I fussy cut the flowers for the centers of the square in a square blocks. I also replicated a flower from the fabric on the front pocket. There are some appliqued hearts and a little rick rack, it is so springy!

"Love" Fabric Wall Hanging, by Kathy Frye. 

This wall hanging is ready for Valentine’s Day! I think it might look cute in my grand-daughters room too! The LOVE wall hanging features the pinks from the Sunny Happy Skies fabric collection. I added some pink and white buttons, a little pink and white ribbon, some pink chunky rick rack and lots of free motion hearts in the quilting. Oh and of course, the word LOVE, free motioned in a pink satin stitch! Finished Size 14" x 20".

Supplies:
Sunny Happy Skies fabrics; Button Market buttons; Ribbon; Rick rack; Steam-a-seam fusible quilt batting

Fabric Doggie Bed, by Tiffany Hood.

Our family was lucky enough to adopt a dog a few months ago, and we wanted to make him some gifts that would help make him a part of our family this Christmas. Then I thought he needed a bed in my craft room since that's where I spend a lot of my time when my kids are at school, and he's always at my feet. This cute aqua fabric was perfect to match my craft room! 

He likes the bed quite a bit, can you tell?

Fabric Doggie Christmas Stocking, by Tiffany Hood.

The first gift is a stocking. I made all of my family members stockings and my friend suggested our dog needed one as well. I completely agree. {Tiffany has written a short tutorial on how she created the stocking on her blog, which you can read HERE}

The cute felt puppy on the front is one of the dogs on the fabric! I enlarged him and printed him on paper and used it as a pattern to cut out the dog.

I embroidered our dog's name on the top of the stocking to match ours, and then used a satin stitch to sew on the bone.

Fabric Doggie Leash, by Tiffany Hood.

Then last I made him a cute leash. Every dog needs a cute leash, right?

Supplies:
Bella Blvd Puppy Park cotton fabrics; White fleece (interior of stocking); Felt (dog on stocking); Embroidery machine; Shaggy faux fur fabric in dark brown (dog bed); Leash clip

Fabric Journal Cover, by Kathy Frye.

Journaling appeals to all ages, and a pretty journal is a perfect and thoughtful gift. I used the cheery Sunny Happy Skies fabric, and here in Wisconsin we need sunny skies at this time of year.

You can’t go wrong with pink and yellow, hearts and flowers, a border, then simply add some big rick rack! Quick and reusable! A new Journal seems appropriate for the New Year!

Supplies:
Sunny Happy Skies fabric; Ribbon; Rick Rack; Journal

Fabric Nook Cover, by Tiffany Hood.

The fabrics in the Puppy Park collection are so darling and so versatile! These cute patterns are part of that collection. I decided to make a cuter Nook cover than the one from the store. My kids love the Nook and take it with them when we have appointments or long car trips, and this cover is not only cute, but very padded just in case little hands drop it. There's even a pocket in the back for the charger and cords!

Supplies:
Puppy Park Fabric by Bella Blvd for Riley Blake Fabrics; Button Market: Blues; Fusible Fleece; Interfacing; Pellon Peltex; Magnetic closures

Puppy Pillow, by Kathy Frye.

My daughters' family just lost their beloved Golden Retriever, so I was thinking about all of them as I was hiking in the woods. Scout loved to hike and be with family! The idea of a PUPPY pillow with PUPPY PARK fabric seemed like a nice gift to make them smile. A puppy pillow would be a great gift for any family member, for birthday, Christmas, illness or as mine was, sympathy. This is a fairly simple project. The hardest part was choosing which of the fun fabrics to use! I ended up with 6 different Puppy Parks fabrics. I tried to make the puppy out of the 'brown bones' fabric, but it didn't work, so instead I used some tan corduroy fabric (which also gave it a soft texture). This pillow is for a family with 3 little boys, so the Puppy Parks colors were perfect, I simply added some cute buttons to finish it off! The back is envelope style, the opening is overlapped. Overall, it took me about 2 hours to create, including picking out the fabrics.

Supplies:
Puppy Park Fabric by Bella Blvd for Riley Blake Fabrics; 18" pillow form; 18" square of batting (optional if you want to quilt the pillow top before putting it together); Fusible (steam a seam); Buttons

Fabric Crayon Apron, by Tiffany Hood.

I wanted to create something for my daughter using the cute bright pinks of the "Sunny Happy Skies" fabric collection. She loves to join me in my craft room and color and draw while I scrapbook, so I made her a crayon apron that she can wear that will hold her art supplies. She's only 3, but she's an artist in the making :) I made up the pattern as I went, but you could also find a child sized apron pattern and add some divided pockets to the bottom and a ruffle and get the same effect, or you can make a pattern using a paper bag and draw it freehand like I did. When the apron was finished I topped it off with Bella Blvd's darling crochet flowers. I think they work perfectly with fabric!

Supplies:
Sunny Happy Skies 100% cotton fabric: C2730-Pink-Sunny-Main; Sunny Happy Skies 100% cotton fabric: C2732-Pink-Sunny-Floral; Crochet Flowers: Poppy, Juniper, Daisies

Aqua Clutch, by Kathy Frye.

These fun bags started out the same, but ended up looking totally different! I used fabrics from "Sunny Happy Skies" and "Puppy Park" to make the bags, they co-ordinate so well. Bella Blvd has so many cute buttons, I just grabbed an assortment of sizes and colors and sewed them along a curvy bias strip. On the other clutch, I used fun bloom buttons as the decoration. I wanted the flower to to look a  little fuller, so I used 2 blooms and took the sticky foam off of the backs, removed one button and layered the flower shapes together to make 1 darling flower! Then I sewed it on through the button holes, added some leaves (with fusible web on the backs). I didn't use a specific pattern, but techniques from different bags - there are many great patterns out there, and the sizes can be changed so easily to fit your needs.

Full instructions and a detailed suppy list for the Aqua Clutch can be downloaded HERE.

Pink Make-up Bag, by Kathy Frye.

This little make-up bag made from the "Sunny Happy Skies" fabric by Bella Blvd would be fun as a gift for anyone! I used the different prints as the "embellishments" using contrasting colors, making a flange, some prairie points and then quilted a few  little flowers on it. It was fun and pretty quick to make. I kind of made it up as I sewed it, using techniques very traditionally used in quilting.

Fabric Camera Strap, by Beth Gerlach.

I used the Sunny Happy Skies fabric to create this fun fabric camera strap. I tore 1 1/4" strips into 5" lengths. The base fabric is 22" x 4 1/2" . I hemmed the short edges of the base fabric. I ruffled and pinned the torn strips diagonally onto the base. Once all the strips were pinned, I sewed them down. Then, with right sides together, I sewed the base fabric lengthwise. I flipped it rightside out and threaded the camera strap through, making sure the seem was on the underside.

Fun Pen Holder, by Kathy Frye.

This ‘pen’ holder is Pretty in PINK!  It features the Sunny Happy Skies fabric from Bella Blvd. Simply sweet! But wait, you’ll find a Playful PUPPY Park version at the end of this tutorial too! This is a great fun project to make as the days are getting cooler and summer is winding down. It’s a perfect ‘back to school’ treat! This handy little pen holder adapts to holding any type of items: craft – sewing – painting – etc. I keep mine next to my sewing machine, with a seam ripper, scissors, markers, tweezers and pens. So grab a mug and start creating some fun!

Supply List:
1/3 yd Fabric A pink lace (pockets and lining) 
1/3 yd or fat qtr Fabric B pink dots (behind pockets) 
1/3 yd Fusible Fleece
Bias Tape – Extra Wide Double Fold
Velcro – 1.5”
Mug (good size is 4” high and 3.25” across) the only part that will show is around the handle

Using the downloadable pattern (found HERE and HERE), cut out 1 piece from each of the following: Fabric A, Fabric B and fusible fleece.

From Fabric A, cut 1 piece 7” x 17”, fold wrong sides together lengthwise, press and mark the center (at 8.5” from edge) of your piece that is now 3.5” x 17”. Fabric B, mark the fold line and the bottom center.

Place the fusible fleece on the back side of Fabric A, press from the top side of Fabric A. Then place Fabric B right side showing on top of the fusible fleece, press. Sew the bias tape onto the straight edge.

Fold the edge with the bias tape on the fold line, so the Fabric A shows on the Fabric B side, press. Place the folded pocket piece on the Fabric B side, matching the center marks.

Mark a line at the center, using soap sliver, chalk, or disappearing pen. Then mark 3 lines on each side of center, 2” apart. Option – make fewer or more lines, depending on how tight or loose you want your pocket slots to be.

Line up the pocket edges with the main body side edges and pin. Pin the pocket to the main body fabric, in between each of the marked lines.

Sew on the marked lines and reinforce each line at the folded edge.

Press or pleat the pocket slits down.

Mark 3 lines on the small (inside) pocket flap – 1 in the center, and 1 on each side.

Sew on the 3 marked lines and reinforce at the bias tape edge.

Working from the back side, baste the pocket side and bottom edges down, follow the curve.

Trim the pocket edges even with the main body curve.

Sew the bias tape around the unfinished sides/bottom, leave a ½ tail at the start and end. Work from the back side, open the bias tape up, and sew with a 1/4" seam.

Bring bias tape around to the front side.

Sew the bias tape along the folded edge on the front side.

Sew the Velcro (1.5”) to the sides. Make sure that one piece is facing up – behind the bias tape and that the other piece is facing down on the opposite side (behind the bias tape), so that they will stick. Reinforce. Ttry the pocket liner on your mug or cup before to see where you want to place the Velcro.

Sharing another fun version from the Bella Blvd Puppy Park fabric line!

Bella Blvd Fabric Style

Today, we are excited to introduce you to Bella's newest Fabric Designer, Kathy Frye! Kathy has created two adorable pillows, using the Sunny Happy Skies fabric collection, from Riley Blake Designs.

{Riley Blake Designs markets our fabrics under Stephanie Hunt as the designer. When purchasing or searching the Riley Blake website, it's actually easier & more efficient to find the Bella Blvd fabrics under "Stephanie Hunt" as the artist.}

Hi everyone! I'm Kathy Frye. I am so blessed to be a quilter! I’ve always been interested in sewing. As a young child, I remember ‘sewing’ doll clothes. In junior high I took a sewing class, and have been sewing ever since. I made my first pieced quilt with my Grandma, when my children were small. We cut each square with a cardboard template and a scissors. So much has changed in the quilting world! I've taken classes from national and local teachers, continually learning new techniques and tricks along the way.  I’ve made so many new friends from quilting. 

Now as a teacher myself, I'm excited to share my quilting passion with others. I enjoy the whole sewing/quilting process, the fabrics, designing, lots of fussing with details, what fun! My quilts have won numerous awards and ribbons, but the greatest joy is the happiness that I receive when I give a quilt to someone else. We have 6 adorable grandchildren. My quilting style has evolved again, using bright and fun fabrics for kids (there is so much more that civil war and 30’s fabrics out there!) The kids love making forts with all the quilts. Quilts are made to be used, they get softer and more character from being loved, so enjoy them, make memories with them!

I was truly honored when Stephanie from Bella Blvd asked me to help design items with her fabric line! 

Dream Pillows, by Kathy Frye.

This cute little pillow features Sunny Happy Skies fabric designed by Bella Blvd for Riley Blake Designs. When this fabric arrived at my house, I was pleased with the way it felt, I could feel the quality! The designs are awesome, each one is great! The colorful floral main fabric has me inspired to make many more projects! The fabrics in this collection work together beautifully, but they are also perfect stand alone fabrics, so the possibilities are endless.

Appliqué letters:

Trace the ‘dream’ letters that are provided HERE. The letters are reversed, so that when they are fused onto the pillow top, they will be correct. Lay the sheet of fusible web product on top of the letters, trace with a pencil, (be sure to leave a small amount (1”) of space in between each letter if you are doing the multi fabric design). 

If you are making the multi fabric design, cut in between each traced letter (NOT ON THE LINES), then iron the letter onto the BACK of your fabric. If you are making the letters from just one fabic, trim the fusible to a 1” around the letters as a block, then iron to the back of your fabric. After the letters are ironed onto the back of the fabric, cut each letter out ON THE TRACED LINES.

Appliquéing the letters onto pillow front

Peel the paper off of the backs of the letters. Lay a ruler across the bottom of the pink dot fabric, so that the top of the ruler is 4” from the bottom edge, use this as a guide to place the letters on the pillow front (cover the letters with the appliqué pressing sheet).

Iron the letters onto the pillow front. Place a piece of paper (computer) on the back side of the pillow front, pin or tape it in place (away from letters) This is a stabilizer for appliquéing. Applique the letters with a SATIN STITCH (zig zag stitch that is set close together). Use thread that matches the letter. 

Hint, use a needle down position when appliquéing. Pivot when the needle is in the outside of a curve so the thread covers the pivot. On an inside curve, pivot with the needle on the inside. After appliquéing, remove the paper stabilizer from the back. Bring threads to back, trim.

Front Border

Pin the front border fabric, right sides together to the left edge of the pillow front. Sew it with a 1/4” seam allowance. Iron the seam allowance towards the border. Take a skinny piece of fusible web product and center it on the rick rack (use a appliqué pressing sheet under the rick rack). Remove the paper (cover with part of appliqué pressing sheet) and iron in place. Now lay the rick rack over the seam line between the border and the main pillow front. Use a ruler to keep it straight. Iron-fuse it in place.

Quilt the pillow top 

Quilt the pillow top as desired. I free motioned around each letter and did some hearts and flowers. I also stitched a wavy line down the center of the rick rack.

Finishing the pillow 

Trim up the pillow top centering the ‘dream’, to 13” high by 17” wide. Finish the edges of the pillow back pieces by folding a side edge (directional fabric) under 1 ½”, press, then unfold and fold the edge to that crease  Refold, press so that you have a finished edge. Topstitch ¼” from the inside edge. Repeat with the 2^nd back piece, hem the other side (directional fabric, so the hems face each other).

Lay the finished pillow top right side up. Lay one back on top, right sides together, positioning hemmed edge towards center. Lay the second back on top, right sides together, positioning hemmed edge toward center, overlapping the first back piece. Pin pieces in place.

Using a 1/2” seam allowance, stitch around the outside edge. Trim and clip the corners. Turn right side out through middle opening. Use a turning tool to push out corners. Press. Insert the 12 x 16 pillow form.  

Dream Pillow Supplies: (to make 1 pillow)

1/2 yard C2734 Pink Sunny Dot – for pillow front
1/2 yard C2730 Sunny Main – for pillow border and back
1/4 yard C2732 Pink Sunny Floral, C2732 Green Sunny Floral, C2732 Yellow Sunny Lace, C2733 Blue Sunny Lace - for appliqué letters

1/2 yard of fusible fleece
Thread to match appliqué fabrics
1/2 yard pink Rick Rack, 1” wide
Fusible web product (I use Lite Steam a Seam 2) (Read package directions)
Optional – appliqué pressing sheet

Cutting Directions:

Pink Sunny Dot – (1) 14 1/2” square
Sunny Main - (2) 13” squares and (1) strip 4” x 14 1/2” (this is a directional fabric so be sure to cut the pieces the same direction)
