A few weeks ago Heidi Staples sent me a copy of her latest book, Patchwork USA - 24 Projects for your Handmade Journey and asked if I'd like to make a project and share the book with all of you. I'm so glad I said yes! Read on to see the pillow I made with her new book!
If you're not familiar with Heidi, let me introduce you. Heidi is the creative genius behind the Fabric Mutt blog and Instagram handle. She comes up with some of the most inspirational projects I've seen.
She has a gift for coming up with the cutest little projects such as this Floss Mini Quilt
or this adorable little zipper Penny Pouch. So many of her projects are not only practical, useful, and doable, but Heidi's inspiring fabric choices and gift for fussy-cutting just the perfect piece will inspire your own creative juices.
Patchwork USA has multiple patterns for various sizes of bags and pouches as well as quilts and pillows.
In addition there is a helpful (and beautifully inspiring) chapter about tools, techniques, and Heidi's awesome tips for choosing fabric.
This book has so many great ideas for handmade gifts - if you're looking to create handmade gifts this Christmas - or it would be a great one to put on your own Christmas wish list.
I can't wait to make more of these projects! For my first project, I needed a fun, quick finish, so I chose to make this cute little Patchwork Road Trip pillow.
Liberty of London Quilting Cottons
I recently got my hands on some of the new Liberty Quilting Cottons from their upcoming Flower Show Spring collection and new they would be perfect for some scrappy patchwork.
I paired them with a classic woven linen fabric for contrast to show off the floral prints as well as some added texture to the project.
It's the sweetest patchwork pillow - perfect for a back bolster or quick nap on a road trip - or to just sit and look charming.
These prints are classic Liberty florals and they're printed on cotton making them less expensive than their Tana Lawns. These prints will be available in the US in January. I'll be sure to share where you can find them as soon as they're available. I think I'll be making more projects with these in the coming weeks. 🙂
Patchwork USA by Heidi Staples is available now, hopefully at your favorite local quilt shop! If not, you can find it available online.*
And, thanks to Heidi and her publisher Lucky Spool, I've got a copy to give away to one of you! And to sweeten the deal, I'll include a bundle of Liberty Flower Shop squares to use in your own patchwork.
To enter to win, leave a comment. If you want, share something that you're planning to make this Christmas. Or, just say Hi. 🙂 To leave a comment click on the little word bubble with a number in it to the right of the post title. I'll randomly pick a winner by the end of the week (11/ 16). GIVEAWAY CLOSED
WINNER:

Hey, Miss Amy, your pillow is definitely charming. I saw your forest on the Gram today when Moda posted a photo. Oh My. Stars! I am hoping my friends will choose this quilt for our retreat project next summer.
For Christmas, though, I am working on a Master's Thesis in which I am asking how, why, and who is memorialized through quilts, so I don't have much time to sew, but I still buy fabric like a crazy lady!
Is there any chance you would grant an interview--via phone, email, Zoom, or Skype? I'd love to know your thoughts for my research.

Wow! That's so cool! Email would work great: [email protected] 🙂

I have just started my Christmas crafting...every year I say I'm going to start way earlier, and then every year I end up not doing so🙄. So far I have made some pillows and am planning on pillowcases for our kids. I have to make a few ornaments for exchanges as well. And then I'm thinking cookie gift bags for the neighbors...see, should have started sooner!🤣
Melissa says
Hi I love your blog. Love the fabric and the book looks awesome. I’m working on small quilts for the babies in NICU at my local hospital. My new seasonal act of kindness and paying quilting forward

sonya5246 says
I love Liberty, and your pillow is adorable! I am making drawstring bags for my loved ones that they can use for travel, to hold shoes and dirty clothes and such. This book is on my Christmas list. Thanks for the giveaway.
Jean Davis says
The book looks great. I loved all the images, but the first thing I'd probably make is the penny pouch. I say that, but the truth is I'd go for the pillow (love your interpretation) because I'd be needlessly nervous about the zipper! Right now I am finishing up a couple of Christmas stockings. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity. Your blog is always an inspiration!
Susan says
Looks like a great book! I have several projects to finish before Christmas! A stocking for our newest little granddaughter, 8 weeks old! 2 rag quilts for granddaughters, 3 wall hangings with my Mama's fruitcake cookie recipe on them. Better get busy!!

I am adding this book to my Christmas Wishlist in case I don’t win. 😉
Mary Beth Baker says
What a fun looking book! For Christmas I am finishing a Christmas throw for my mom. I bought A panel of a Christmas wreath with birds called Swedish Christmas by Norcott. I was going to make it into a pillow for my mom but decided that 22 inches was too big for a pillow. So I’m using your giant star pattern that you have featured on your blog and putting the wreath as the center block. Happy holidays to you and your family.
Tracy says
I was so excited to comment... I forgot to say what I am planning to make.😂 I have some baby quilts I am hoping to finish before Christmas.

While I enjoy modern and improv projects, there is a part of me that loves traditional patchwork - it reminds me so much of my grandmother and aunts who were all master quilters. I'm working on a sampler quilt for a grand niece, in Kaffe using traditional patchwork blocks. When I finish it, I hope to make potholders for gifts for friends.
Karen says
I always want to make something for each family member for the holidays. Last year it was Spoonflower tea towels. I got carried away with their half price fat quarter sale last year and still have some 2019 calendar towels I didn't hem up. This year, I restrained myself and ordered fewer.

I don't have any Christmas sewing this year. I do have placemats and napkins that I want (need) to finish for our oldest granddaughter. I gave them to her for her bridal shower, and she has been married for a year. I think it is high time that I finish them. I also am in the process of rearrainging my sewing room and my fabric. So that will be done before I start another project. I do have a queen-sized EPP project that I work on in the evenings and while we travel (we just got back from a 2 month car trip).
