Isobel’s Happy Little Spools Quilt
Are you looking for a modern sewing themed quilt that would be perfect to hang or display in your sewing space, this spool quilt that Isobel made may be it!
The pattern is called Happy Little Spools and it’s by Missouri Star Quilt Co. here is a link to the digital pattern: https://www.missouriquiltco.com/products/digital-download-happy-little-spools-quilt-pattern-by-missouri-star?variant=39281602887715
I noticed that Missouri Star used to offer quilts with batik fabrics, they are now sold out. I’m not sure if Isobel got one of their kits or found the fabrics herself. If you look closely at the prints they are sewing themed. Sewing machines, bobbins, buttons, scissors, thread and so on…
Isobel had the idea to do variegated thread. So I checked the different colors of Omni-V that I have and chose the color Zumba #9044. It has green, yellow, purple, and reddish orange in it. Which looks fun on the ombré layout of the quilt. Superior Threads has a wonderful selection of variegated threads, and the Omni-V is the same quality that I’ve come to rely on with their Omni thread. Go to: https://www.superiorthreads.com/omni-v-9044-zumba/p/145-02-9044?show= and don’t forget to use my non-affiliate code “ASTLEISHA” at checkout for 15% off your order.
I also recommend ordering thread cards from Superior Threads. They have actual thread on the cards. I’ve seen some other companies put pictures of threads on cards and the colors aren’t always accurate. The Superior Threads thread cards are also very affordable. https://www.superiorthreads.com/search?q=Thread+card
Isobel requested the Orbit panto design by Sarah Ann Myers which looks like spools unwinding. I love it! Such a great choice. It’s available at Urban Elementz. Go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/orbit.html
Love the ombré layout of the spools. Such a fun idea!!
I used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles. It’s my favorite 8020 I’ve ever used.
The quilty texture is sooo good!
