Delilah Block of the Month – Month 5 – North Star

Delilah BOM Tips - Oct. 13, 2018 - Jessica OklaRoots

You know what's coming.... you can see it in the picture.....

NOOOOOO CUUUUURRRRVES!!!!

After Month 4 and those tiny curves, I needed this easier block.  Need me to make 5? No problem! Heck, I'll make 20, if you ask.

Delilah Block of the Month – Month 4 – Fairhaven

Delilah BOM Tips, Quilts - Sep. 26, 2018 - Jessica OklaRoots

So this block took... a while. 

Partly because I have been in a cross country move.  But mostly because.... don't make me say it....

Ok.... I'll say it....

CURVES.

Those @$#^@$&#* curves.

Delilah Block of the Month – Month 2 – Bells Beach Block

Delilah BOM Tips - Jun. 03, 2018 - Jessica OklaRoots

Welcome back!  This month we explore curves.... again.  If you have been following me on Instagram (@oklaroots) you may have noticed that I am not a big fan of the curves.  

Well, let me clarify:  I love the look of curves... I just don't like making them.

Delilah Block of the Month – Month 1 – Rising Sun Block

Delilah BOM Tips - Apr. 10, 2018 - Jessica OklaRoots

Anyone else listen to "Delilah" on the radio?  You know the intro.... "Deliiiiilaaaaaaaahhh"? Well, I sing that EVERY TIME I am working on one of these blocks... and I kind of love it. (So does my husband, he just doesn't want to admit it)

If you don't know, the Delilah star of this blog post is a recent quilt pattern by Jen Kingwell.  I have been holding on to this block of the month pattern since it started... a year ago.  I participated with Amitie quilt shop, receiving a block pattern, acrylic templates and a selection of fabrics each month.  At this point in time (April 2018) the block of the month program is over and the pattern is not available to purchase.  I will update this once that changes. UPDATE: Pattern available here!

🤔 Riddle me this: how could we make this bag wi 🤔 Riddle me this: how could we make this bag with the zippers closing towards the outer edges? When they are both open, they would meet at the middle divider, but when both closed, they are at opposite sides of the bag. Using only one long piece of zipper tape. Can it be done?! How do you attach the pulls?? 

Anywho! My brand spanking new pattern is now available in @shopoklaroots ! The Wet Dry Bag Pattern is beginner friendly and super handy. We are using one long zipper to create two separate zipper compartments, great for dividing up any necessary items. Add a mesh or vinyl pocket, snaps, strap, you name it! 

This is just a fun sew that would also be great for holiday gifting (you know I’m going to be giving you ideas for the next few months… ‘tis the season!)

Enjoy!

I recently picked up this @daylight.lamps travel lamp from @meissnersewingandvacuum , and it makes crafting in my moody lighting so much easier! It’s rechargeable and cordless, small enough to carry around but gives off a TON of light. I’m a big fan and have been using it all over the place.
