Tutorial: Dresden Burst Baby Quilt
This is a repost of the quilt I made for my last Riley Blake Design Team Project in July! I’m posting here incase you missed it!
For this months project, I decided to make a baby quilt. I love Dresden Blocks but didn’t want to make an entire quilt of them. Instead I scattered 3 sizes of them on the front of a quilt.
What to make one?

**this is a repost of a tutorial I did for Riley Blake fabrics. I’m posting it here incase you missed it**
Hi!
My name is Melissa Mortenson and I blog over at the Polkadot Chair. I’m so excited to be sharing a tutorial for a simple pincushion with you guys today. It features one of my favorite new Riley Blake Designs fabric lines, Go Fly a Kite! I loved all of the prints so much that I could not just pick a few, so I made the pincushion double sided.
Doll Sleeping Bag & Pillow Tutorial
This is a project that I did for the Riley Blake Design Team blog. I thought I’d post it here in case you missed it. Make sure you check out their blog they have lots of fantastic sewing tutorials!
Today I’m going to show you how to make this fun and easy sleeping bag, that is the perfect size for an American Girl doll! Just a note— this project has a zipper in it!! But do NOT be afraid!! Zippers are NOT SCARY! Just go slow and you will be fine.
