Aunt Elna and I have been keeping busy. (She is my trusty sewing machine.)
We're not the only ones who have been busy. There are plenty of volunteers who have been hard at work helping to test the new Ombre Sewing Studio mini quilt patterns.
Bit by bit, the feedback has been rolling in. And the patterns have been refined.

| Ombre Sewing Studio mini Quilt - 17" x 32" |
This mini says it all. I do LOVE 2 Quilt!
Each quilt features 1" finished strips.
A heart. An iron. A sewing machine. And a spool (or two) of thread!
I love the ombre effect of the Kona solids. Blue is my fave.
And I do LOVE my sewing machines.
I do LOVE 2 Sew... As well!
These quilts, when finished, will both be heading to the new Mad About Patchwork shop.
Pam asked if she could hang them in her new location. I am sew excited - and honoured!!!
Pam, owner of Mad About Patchwork, has the quilt kits for sale in her shop here.
And I will be publishing the patterns for sale very soon!

| Ombre Sewing Studio mini Sew - 14" x 33" |
Now that my tops are finished, I am all ready for quilting.
I chose this cute print for backing.
It is Quilting Bee by Debbie Taylor Kerman for Henry Glass Fabrics.

The call for pattern testers has resulted in my making a lot of new friends.
Kind of like our own Online Quilting Bee!

Ho Lorna! These are Super! I love the First and the colours are also most beautiful! x Teje
I do LOVE 2 see your work!! Those 1" lines are perfectly straight - beautiful :)
I also love the ombre effect. Well done. Both are lovely.
I love to sew too, not so sure about loving to iron though :) Great mini's!
Ombré effect...very cool! Your choice of backing fabric is perfect! Can't wait to see how you quilt it!
I love this pattern! I may have to make my own sewing machine mini quilt.
this is a treat of a mini quilt,
Love it! Can't wait to see it all finished! The backing is pretty spectacular too! So well done Lorna!
This is a lovely pair of mini quilts. Clever of you to give a choice of two shapes.
Congrats on a great pattern! LOVE it!
Love these and the fabrics look great! I am going to need that pattern!
Great mini!
Both mini quilts are beautiful! Hope I can do it justice and get my strips as straight as yours :)
I love these mini quilts! I wish I wasn't so busy I would have loved to test these for you. Thanks for sharing on TGIFF
That turned out so so so so cute!!!! I can't wait for the pattern to come out, I'm just sorry I was too busy to test it!!!
Very nice mini-quilts. I really like that backing fabric too - perfect for them!
So very cute! This mini would make a great gift for any sewing friends (or for me!).
Clever idea to make your own ombre, Lorna. It looks so nice.
Very cute and clever!! I wish you much success!!
So cool and love the ombre effect.
Yes! I love this! I can't wait to see what your testers do with the pattern!
Fun and funky ombré
Sweet little minis! I was finally able to pull some fabrics this evening. Not as far as I had hoped to get,but a start non the less.
I ordered my fabric and I'm waiting for it to arrive!!! Should be here any day now! Can't wait!
Love BOTH of these! I can't wait to receive my kit.
These are just too cute! I love the ombre:)
These are just so adorable. You've chosen the perfect backing fabric. I hope we'll get to see the results of some of your testers.
I love this Mini quilt. I have looked for the pattern and can not find it. Is there any way to get a copy of the pattern?
