NEW SPRING BUNDLES + CARROT & SHAMROCK INSPO

It’s that time again. Time to think SPRING… even if its not quite spring yet pretty much anywhere?!

If you’ve known me for any length of time, you know one of my favorite parts of the job is curating bundles. And we just so happen to have (3) fantastic new bundles to share with you today!

• CARROT MEDLEY [Oranges]
• LUCKY SHAMROCK GREENS
• CREAMS w/ HINTS OF ORANGE

We are also going to take you on a journey to our past projects made with similar-feeling bundles, and we might just have a tinynew project up our sleeves, too! Read on to find out…

SWEET CARROTS: A PATTERN REMIX

This is our first carrot project back from 2023. It uses my LE RADISH pattern to create stuffed carrots. Create a bushel and tie them together like we did, use string or twine to make a garland, or instead of using stuffing, fill with walnut shells for a fun Springtime pincushion!

CARROT SPROUTS

Next came the carrot quilt block pattern – I mean who can resist this?!

The CARROT SPROUTS Pattern Sheet includes all the directions to make the block itself. But be warned – they are quite addictive!

Photos below are of one of the Fig Tree Ladies, Lacey’s carrot quilt. Isn’t it fabulous?!

And if you know Lacey, you know that when she commits to a project, she really commits. 🙂 She was working from an early draft of the CARROT SPROUTS pattern, and we later changed it up a bit to give the carrots more of a “point” at the end.

We are “pointing” (see what I did there?) this out just in case you start assembling your blocks and notice yours looking a bit different.

LUCKY SHAMROCKS

I created this fun freebie to feature on the MODA FABRICS BLOG, and is quick to put together. It’s also a great stash buster!

NEW THIS YEAR: CARROT MUG RUG

This is a true story… I started organizing myself to write this blog post. Then I decided we needed a new version of the carrot. So I made a block. Then I decided it would be time to trade out my heart mug rug for something spring next week… so the carrot block became a mug rug!

Honestly… from beginning to end, with quilting included, it took me maybe 1 ½ hours!! Now I kind of want to make more… but how many mug rugs does a person really need?

To make one just like this, follow this simple plan:

• Make (1) Carrot Sprouts Block.
• From any cream scraps, cut (12) 2 ½” squares.
• Piece them into a rectangle and attach to the right of the carrot block.
• Quilt using your home machine on an elongated, enlarged zigzag.
• Spray with water or flatter to give it a quick krinkle.
• Bind with a single orange strip.
• Tada! Enjoy your new updated mug rug next to your computer or sewing machine!

To be fair… I did warn you that they were a bit addictive!

……

Happy Sewing!
