The Bernina 780 - Fizz Pillow

Note:  The winner of the previous giveaway was Carol Ann, who said, I made Amy Butler's Frenchy Bag for my niece out of The Lorax fabric, it was so darn cute! I love your table runner!

Next up in my Bernina 780 projects is my Fizz pillow with CrystalWork accents.  It is a modification of my Fizz quilt pattern and features my "Seaglass" color story from my Bella collection for Blend Fabrics.

I had SO much fun with this project!  The crystals really brought the finished piece to a whole new level!  And they were so fun and simple to apply.  I just made a few templates using the DesignWorks software and CrystalWork tool and reused them again and again to add sparkle to the bubbles!

Like on all Berninas, the buttonhole feature is so easy to use and sews beautiful buttonholes every time!

Want to see more?  Hop on over to Youtube and check out the Fizz video!

And I think we should have a giveaway for this too, don't you?  This time I'll give away a copy of my Fizz pattern this time, along with three fat quarters of Bella.  To enter, just leave a comment on this post telling me about a project in which you might use CrystalWorks for added bling!  Again, one entry per person and I'd love for you to become a follower if you aren't one already, but it isn't a requirement.  Deadline to enter will be this Thursday (the 20th) at midnight.

I have some other big news tonight.  I'll be back soon!

Happy sewing!

Fizz!

Since I'm back from Market and just in time for Blogger's Quilt Festival, I thought I would introduce you to the first of my new patterns in my pattern line, Fizz!

Fizz 

38'' x 48-1/2'' 

Featuring Bella, my latest line for Blend Fabrics 

Quilted by Cherry Guidry of Cherry Blossoms Quilting Studio 

Best categories: Favorite Applique Quilt, Favorite 2-Color Quilt, Favorite Baby Quilt 

(Since this sample is baby-sized) 

Techniques:  Strip piecing and applique

(You could use trapunto and/or cuddle fabric for the bubbles too for a fun option...)

Fizz is based on just one block, so it can be made in any size!

I love the quilted bubbles that echo the applique!

And this is the pattern, which I should have in hand from my printer next week to ship to shops and distributors. Make sure to visit Blogger's Quilt Festival at Amy's Creative Side to see lots of beautiful quilts!

 Happy sewing!
Amanda
