After a long, peaceful holiday break it’s time to pack up my oldest and head back for a new semester …

I originally created this bag with trips to the gym in mind (and it’s seen a lot of those!), but Liv is fond of packing it up and bringing it home on each visit. The “baby sister” of the ByAnnie duffle bags, this duffle features front, side, and back exterior pockets trimmed with ribbon, as well as interior slip pockets. Handles featuring Tula Pink webbing can be used for a variety of carrying styles, as well as a detachable adjustable crossbody strap.

Thread: Untamed thread collection by @tulapink for @aurifilthread

An epic celebration of undeniable, out of this world artistry, color, and whimsy … this collection takes my breath away! Tula’s 50th collection is designed to honor where she began, and what she has gained along the way. Twelve NEW beautiful main prints, alongside six “ghost” versions of the original prints, that pair perfectly with twenty-two brand new True Colors resulting in an epic celebration of color and illustration.

Sew Inspired to#SewPINK 2024 ~ ByAnnie Breast Cancer Awareness Initiative

I was humbled and honored to be asked to join the ByAnnie 2024 #SewPINK Initiative. Each day during the month of October, visit a lineup of talented and dedicated makers, educators, and shops for a blog hop of inspiration and education, as well as a fundraiser through the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and charity sewing opportunities.

I created one of my favorite patterns from Annie, Every Day Every Way - designed to inspire joy, love, and hope for all of those affected in one way or another by breast cancer.

It was such a pleasure to be the featured guest on LIVE with Annie for her episode that aired Wednesday, July 24, 2024 (Season 4, Episode 29).

We talked pushing the boundaries with color, foundation paper piecing and applique, Tula Pink fabric, ByAnnie bags of all shapes and sizes, quilt coats and quilted sneakers! Such a fun episode with the one and only, Annie - SEW FUN!

Thank you to everyone that joined LIVE - and for your ongoing support and interest! Don’t forget that you can watch the playback on the ByAnnie YouTube channel, ByAnnie.com, Facebook, and Instagram.

Stay Inspired & Happy Stitching!

THEME: Me Made May

The theme for this month is “Me Made May” - something wearable, something special. This head to toe ensemble - quilted coat, quilted sneakers, bag, and NEW quilted pants walked the runway at the Fashion Show on Wednesday, May 1, 2024 in Chicago! How’s that for starting May with a “roar”?!?! Pun intended of course … a panoramic view (thank you FreeSpirit Fabrics!) capturing the details of a rainbow of thread and fabrics pair for a very ME, very over the top, “me made” outfit!

My project for this month made use of mutiple weights of thread (50, 80, and Monofilament) - details on the Auribuzz blog here!

Tula unveiled her latest collection, Roar!, at QuiltMarket 2023 in Houston, Texas. I created two jackets for Tula that she showed off in style at the event.

Pattern: BURDA 6489

THEME: Mindful Stitching

I used loads of gorgeous, bright, and beautiful Aurifloss and Aurifil 12wt in a host of traditional stitches and then a whole bunch of stitches I’m pretty positive I just made up as I went along. This project was entirely hand embroidered. I meandered my way along swoops and curves large and small. Extra stitching outlining features at random as the project unfolded. True to form, I kept my love in the details to allow the thread to bring the dimension.

"Introducing the 2023 Aurifil Artisans, an incredible lineup of quilters, pattern designers, fabric designers, bag-makers, long arm quilters, textile artists, embroiderers, crafters, and garment-sewists. They love to create & work with Aurifil thread, and we are proud to support them in their creative journeys."

I dreamed up a Quilt Coat (with a Twist!) with my own self-drafted pattern - loads of foundation paper piecing, removable sleeves and hood for the over the top finish!
