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

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

NOOOOOO CUUUUURRRRVES!!!!

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!

This week’s tutorial is so fun! The quick and fun This week’s tutorial is so fun! The quick and fun Crystalline Pencil Pouch from @the.styled.magnolia is a big time sew-jo booster 😍

Yes, this zip pouch is adorable. Yes, you can get Yes, this zip pouch is adorable.
Yes, you can get really creative with materials and appliqué.
Yes, it’s super scrap friendly.
Yes, it’s beginner friendly.
Yes, it’s ridiculously fun to make.

But if those reason aren’t enough for you to try the Real Lip Shady from @kazconadesigns then let me give you one more: It is an incredible, confidence boosting skill builder. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve shied away from patterns that have that back and forth curvy zipper, for fear of it not turning out ::just:: right.

But this pattern? Easy peasy! The measurements are perfect, the tips are spot on, and the curvy wurvy zipper is glorious. 

10/10! You gotta make this.

These week we’re going up against my bag making ne These week we’re going up against my bag making nemesis: piping. And we’re nailing it! Mostly 😉

Today’s tutorial is going over the Traverse Bag from @noodlehead531 ! This bag is so much fun. It has the look of a messenger bag but the ease of a simple zip pouch. The functionality is spot on and it comes in two sizes! 

This is also September’s @bagmakingbeesclub Bee Box! The waxed canvas we’re using is stunning 😍. And although I usually reach for a webbing strap, that handmade strap is well worth the extra few minutes. 

Enjoy and happy Monday!
