Wake Me Up Quilt Sew-Along Week 6 Welcome to Week 6 of the Wake Me Up sew-along. There wasn't suppose to be a week 6 but because we now have prizes there is!If you have just joined the SAL… well friend… better late than never I suppose! Be sure to grab the pattern, read up on all the details and choose your fabrics soon so you can catch up and join in the fun! There is also a Facebook Group for those of you that would like a little more interaction! This group will continue for future sew-alongs, Yay! Before announcing the two winners I wanted to share some photos of your finished quilt tops. There were so many delicious fabric combinations, so if you want to be inspired, check out the hashtag #wakemeupsal on instagram.This first group of quilts I am calling the Originals! Quilts made using similar colours to my first quilt, which I must say is still my favourite I think. Check out these hotties, all using gorgeous warm colours with pops of other colours for contrast! I never thought to use pretty florals with the Wake Me Up Quilt but this group sure shows you it's possible. How pretty are these! I'm a big fan of this group, because I am a lover of green. I really like how different these all look and the pops of red and orange just make them sing. I think this grouping shows how by changing the colour placement you can end up with circles as the feature or the crosses. I especially love the one in the middle that doesn't even look like the same quilt! This last group is where all the colours come together. How fun is the quilt using big florals and I even like the quilts using purple......purple is my least favourite colour!! Now on to the winners!The winner of the $100 gift voucher from The Quilt Shop is, Sally @sallyopthoog I love the way Sally has only used four colours and they are all solids. So stunning. The winner of the $50 gift voucher to Millrose Cottage is Mardi @simply_mardiI love this quilt for the subtle use of low volumes and contrasting red and black. Such a beautiful quilt. Wow, aren't all the quilts fabulous! I have enjoyed running my first sew-along so so much and it's all thanks to you!Thank you so much for joining in, taking the time to comment on each others photos and sharing your own. I feel like we have created a lovely little community and I hope it continues.Stay safe and stay tuned, there might be some more sew-alongs in the future!Emma x

Wake Me Up Quilt Sew-Along Week 5 Welcome to Week 5 of the Wake Me Up sew-along. Are you ready to sew this quilt together? This week we’ll be piecing your quilt top using all your fabulous blocks.

The wonderful and generous ladies from The Quilt Shop have kindly donated a $100 gift voucher, and Sue from Millrose Cottage has chipped in a $50 gift Voucher. All you need to do to be in the running is make sure your finished quilt top is posted to Instagram by May the 7th. If you’ve already finished your quilt top and posted a picture, don’t worry – you’re in the running for the prizes!These two shops have also put together some terrific kits for the Wake Me Up quilt if you felt like making another one! PIECING THE QUILT TOPNow it's finally time to put all your quilt blocks together! Sew the blocks together in rows, blah blah blah. If you have come this far, I'm quite sure you can work out how to piece a quilt top. Just remember to press each alternative row of blocks in different directions so the seams nest nicely together.TOOLS OF THE TRADE As this is the last newsletter before we announce the winners, I thought I might talk a little about quilting. I love to use straight lines in all my quilts and I have discovered a few things that might help you too!Firstly, what you'll need:Walking Foot for your machine – you may have to purchase this separately as most machines don't come with one, unless you’re a lucky duck and have bought a quilting edition - sometimes they include these as part of the package. A walking food basically does the same thing as the feed dogs on your machine, except from above. It helps to feed the three layers of your quilt through evenly so that the fabric doesn’t bunch up.40wt Thread - now this is just what I like to quilt with, so if you prefer something else, go for it! I like it because it's a little stronger and it also makes the quilting a bit more of a feature. I like to use Aurifil Thread, 100% cotton.Basting Spray and/or Safety Pins for basting - I like to use both. I don't have a large sewing table to work on so all the help I can get, I take! The safety pins are stainless steel, size 2. There are some fancy curved pins on the market which are great too. The basting spray is called 505 Temporary Adhesive. I like this brand as it has hardly any smell and stays stuck!Hera Marker – A Hera marker is an awesome piece of plastic that allows you to mark your quilt without using a pencil/washout marker. The Hera marker places a fold in the fabric when your quilt top is basted that stays for a good amount of time. I love it because there is no need to wash out line markings afterwards. Just use your quilting ruler to get lovely straight lines. BASTING The first thing you’ll need to do is baste your quilt. Once you have pieced your backing, lay it down with the right side to the floor. Some people baste on their kitchen table, some on the wall and others on their dining room or lounge room floor. It’s totally up to you! I lay my quilt backing on my lounge room floor and tape down the edges to keep the backing taut. Then I layer the batting on top and baste it to the backing using the basting spray. Next, I layer the quilt top, right side up and baste it to the batting and backing. Finally, I plonk myself down in the middle of the quilt and start pinning from the centre out, every 3 inches of so! You can see me basting my original Wake Me Up Quilt at light speed here. QUILTING After you’ve basted your quilt, you need to do is increase the stitch length on your machine. I usually sew using a 2.5” length and then up it to 2.8” when quilting. The quilt above has been quilted with quarter inch spaced lines. The best way to explain how I do this is with a diagram.My approach for this quilt was to begin in the middle of the quilt. I quilted the first red line (marked with 1 on the diagram) and then continued sewing the rest of the red lines to the right hand side of the quilt. Then I went back and quilted all of the green lines in between the red lines. Once all the green lines were done I went back and did the blue lines. After the blue I did all the yellow and so on until the quilting was a quarter inch apart. The idea is that the red lines anchor the quilt. Then you go back and fill in the gaps. If you tried to do the heavy quarter inch quilting from the first row, your quilt would end up distorted and no-one wants that!Just remember, after you’ve completed all the red lines, you need to flip the quilt around, so you’re quilting from the other side and working from the middle to the right, before you go back and do the blue, green and yellow lines. To get the quilt into position to feed through the sewing machine you need to roll it up. It makes it must easier to handle and to fit through the throat of your sewing machine. See the pictures below. Buffy is also showing how comfortable a quilt roll can be!Please note the space at the end of the table, this allows the quilt to hang off the end as it passes through rather than getting bunched up. The other style of straight line quilting I like to do is cross hatching. This is done in the same way as the previous quilt. Start with your anchor lines of quilting and then go back and slowly fill in the gaps.Please note that my lines are not perfect, they never are. I wobble and move around with the best of them, but the wonderful thing about this style of quilting is it doesn't matter. Once it’s all done you notice the effect - not how straight the lines are. If you’re not comfortable quilting using just the force, that's where the fabulous Hera Marker comes in handy. This white piece of plastic creates a fold or indentation on the fabric that lasts for ages. Using your quilting ruler to keep the lines straight, run the Hera Marker along the fabric pushing down firmly. You’ll see that it leaves an indentation on your quilt which you can use as your guide for when you’re quilting. I used it in the quilt below. Again, this version of my Wake Me Up Quilt was quilted with straight lines, but this time I decided to echo the seams by quilting a quarter inch either side. There were some parts of the quilting design that made it tricky just to eye it in, so I marked it up with the Hera Marker. Just note, I did all the anchor lines first so I could then remove the pins. It makes it much easier to place a ruler on the quilt once the pins are gone. I also mark up with the Hera Marker on the floor. It's a bit hard on the back but unless you have a large table (I don't) the floor is the best option. So that's it my friends. The last week of my first ever Sew-Along! Don’t forget to post a picture of your finished quilt on Instagram before midnight Thursday, 7 May 2020 to be in the running for the prizes! Keep an eye out for my final newsletter on 8 May where I will announce the winners and showcase some of my favourite sew along quilts made by you guys!I’ve had an amazing time sharing my quilt with you all and a few tips and tricks along the way. I plan to do a few more in the future so stay tuned!I would like to say a big thank you to you all. Obviously this would not have been possible without you purchasing the pattern and sharing your photos on Instagram. I am so grateful for all the support and I’m hoping you got just as much as I did out of the sew-along. Stay Safe,Emma x

If you are using Method 2, then you’ll be making the other half of your blocks!This block was made by me, it's from the 2nd Wake Me Up quilt I have sewn. YOUR BLOCKS I can't help myself, I just wanted to share some more of the gorgeous blocks that have been popping up on instagram. Maybe they might inspire you to make another one! NEXT WEEKNext week we will be assembling the quilt tops and I'm a little sad that this sew-along is nearly over. I hope you are doing well with social distancing, to be honest the "ground hog day" part of staying at home with a little one has been getting to me. What has been saving me is sewing and also this little community we have created. I hope it’s been doing the same for you.Stay safe my sewing friends,Emma x

Wake Me Up Quilt Sew-Along Week 3Welcome to Week 3 of the Wake Me Up sew-along. I hope you guys are having fun making your Half Square Triangles and that you’re ready to get stuck into making these blocks!If you have just joined the SAL, welcome! Be sure to grab the pattern, read up on all the details and choose your fabrics soon so you can catch up and join in the fun!Facebook GroupBy popular demand, and to facilitate the community we are all in need of, I’ve created a new Facebook group for this sew-along. The group is already humming along, sharing pics of their progress and getting to know each other a bit better. We’d love for you to join us over there! PAST NEWSLETTERS Welcome WeekWeek 1Week 2 SHARE ON INSTAGRAMDon’t forget to post a pic of your HST's on IG and be sure to the use the #wakemeupsal and #wakemeupquilt hashtags to make it easier for others to find your photos.I love that lots of you have been cheeky and have already started sewing your blocks together. Some people have completed tops already! That kind of enthusiasm is inspiring so keep posting your photos for others to see. You may recall me saying that this quilt was simple and quick. It’s the kind of quilt that once you start, you just can’t stop! The fact that a number of you are starting a second quilt (and that I’ve just finished my fourth) just proves it. Check out these finished and almost finished Wake Me Up quilt tops: PIECING THE BLOCKSThis week we are going to be making half of the blocks. If you are using Method 1 to piece your quilt, you’ll be making all of the Cross Blocks.If you are using Method 2, you just need to make half of the blocks.A word on pressing your blocks! Some of you will decide to press your seams open, others will press to the side. Obviously, you should find what works best for you! If you press to the side though, like me, and you’re using Method 1 to press your blocks, then check out page 4 of the pattern. This is where the secrets to pressing both your Cross and Circle blocks are revealed so that they nest nicely. Take note of the arrows in the illustrations, as these are your pressing guide. If you press your seams in the direction of the arrows your whole quilt will be much easier to piece.If you are using Method 2 to piece your blocks, well… to be honest… you’ll have to make it up as you go along! I haven't actually found a way to easily make all the seams nest. One option is to make all your blocks the same way and then rotate them as needed. To be honest though, it’s not the end of the world if you have to flip the seam as you’re sewing the blocks together to get them to nest! CHAIN PIECINGThis week I thought I might share the way I chain piece my blocks. If you’re anything like me, you feel the need for speed! Chain piecing definitely helps make piecing super fast and fun! I usually piece 4 blocks at a time but to keep things simple I am going to give you step by step instructions for just one block.First things first, lay out your block. Then you’ll need to take each row and stack the squares of fabric in the order you’ll be sewing them. Next step is to take the first two squares in row and sew them together.The trick to chain piecing is not cutting your thread. If you look closely between the pairs in the first photo you can see they are joined by thread.Continue by sewing the next square onto the pair you’ve already sewn for each row.    Continue sewing the final square onto the end until all the rows are complete.The 2nd picture below is of all the rows pieced with the threads in between the rows still attached.    At this stage I like to work on one block at a time, so I don't mix up my rows and blocks. Cut the threads and press your rows. I always press the odd number rows, 1 & 3, from left to right, and the even number rows, 2 & 4, from right to left. Next up, sew your rows together!!!    Ta Da! A finished block!Next week we will be making the 2nd half of the blocks.As we enter Week 3 of the sew-along, many of us are exiting week 3 of self-isolation in the time of Covid-19. Here in Australia, lots of kids are starting their home learning journey and many parents will be pulling their hair out about Zoom classes and Google Classrooms. Remember to be kind to yourselves – you are doing enough and this will not last forever. If you can’t make half the blocks this week, there is always next week!And if you need to lock yourself in a cupboard with some stockpiled chocolate and wine for “self care” reasons then you’ll find no judgement here! In the meantime, I do hope you’re enjoying the sew along and the community of fellow quilters that you see on IG and over on Facebook. I really do love seeing all of your quilts come to life!See you next week. Emma x

Wake Me Up Quilt Sew-Along Week 2Welcome to Week 2 of the Wake Me Up sew-along. How much fun has it been meeting all the Wake Me Uppers and seeing all the awesome fabric choices!If you have just joined the SAL, welcome! Be sure to grab the pattern, read up on all the details and choose your fabrics soon so you can catch up and join in the fun! SHARE ON INSTAGRAMDon’t forget to post a pic of your cut fabrics to IG and be sure to the use the #wakemeupsal and #wakemeupquilt hashtags to make it easier for others to find your photos.Don't worry if you’re ahead, this is supposed to be fun. If you feel like sewing, knock yourself out. Who knows, you might end up making two quilts!!There have been some fabulous fabric combos popping up on Instagram! Some of my favourites are shown below. I can't wait to see these made up into Wake Me Up quilts. HALF SQUARE TRIANGLES (HSTs)Week 2 is all about Half Square Triangles or HSTs. If you have your own way of making HSTs, go for it, just make sure you trim your blocks to 4". There are two sets of HSTs that need to be made. Both are used in the Circle Block - one set to form the diamond centre, the other set is for the outside of the circles. You’ll need to pair up these fabrics first to make sure you have enough variety in the blocks. PREPARATIONOnce you’ve paired up your squares, the next thing you need to do is mark the back of half of your squares. I marked the back of my light grey ones. (Aqua in the original quilt)One of the best ways to get a straight line on the back of your fabric is to use a sandpaper board underneath. The sandpaper stops the fabric moving, which makes it so much easier to draw the line. How cool is that! I have a fancy sandpaper board but you can just use a sheet of sandpiper from your local hardware store.I like to use a mechanical pencil with a chaco lead to mark my fabrics. The chaco lead marks the fabric easily and is erasable later on.Take one of the fabric squares and mark a diagonal line on the wrong side of the fabric. Repeat for all your pairs!    SEWING TIMETake one pair of squares with the marked square on top.Sew either side of the marked line with a ¼” seam.Repeat for all the pairs. CUTTING TIMENow take your rotary cutter, ruler and mat.Cut down the centre of all the blocks on the drawn line from before.Press the blocks. I like to press to the dark fabric, AKA the dark side!    TRIMMING TIMEThe blocks you have just made will be a little big, they also might be a little wonky. I suppose it will depend on how much quarantine wine you’ve been drinking! Don't worry, that's where the trimming comes in.Using a square ruler (or a bloc loc ruler if you have one), line up the 45 degree line on your ruler with the seam through the middle of the block. Trim the block down to 4" square. Check out the pics below for a visual on how to trim your HSTs.    That's it for Week 1. Next week we will be making half of the blocks. I hope you guys are having fun! I'm having an awesome time, checking out all the photos you’ve been posting. There is so much gorgeous colour and fabric inspo on the #wakemeupsal hashtag, so if you’ve had trouble deciding what fabric to use you can check out the hashtag. Don’t forget to post once you’ve decided to help others out. And remember, this sew along is set on a very relaxed speed. This means you can take your time. Lots of you will have time on your hands with the current pandemic keeping most of us at home. Others will be busier than ever juggling work, kids and elderly relatives. My hope for this SAL is that it brings you joy in a time of uncertainty and is a safe haven for you to retreat to For my part, I thought 4 Wake Me Up quilts would be enough but now, after seeing all your fab fabric choices, I'm not sure.Emma x   

Wake Me Up Quilt Sew-AlongWeek 1 Welcome to Week 1 of my first sew-along featuring my latest quilt pattern, Wake Me Up. I am super excited to be sewing-along with all of you. In fact, I am about to make my 4th version of this quilt, that's how much I love it! I’m planning on making a scrappy queen size version using fabric from my stash! GETTING STARTED Make sure you’ve purchased your Wake Me Up pattern!  The Wake Me Up SAL will be taking place on Instagram, so be sure your account is set to public so we can all see your posts using the #wakemeupsal and #wakemeupquilt hashtags. There are lots of people participating in this sew along, so let’s start off with introductions! We’d love to see a picture of you in your native quilting habitat and hear a bit about you. Lots of people are working from home at the moment, so the community during this sew along may really help those people who are otherwise isolated. Post a photo of your fabric pull (if you have one yet!) – in this newsletter we’ll talk a bit about colour and placement. If you’ve already decided on your fabric, posting a picture may help to inspire others. Now’s the time to buy up on fabric if it’s not in your stash – support for small businesses has never been more important and most fabric shops are selling online! PLANNING YOUR QUILT: Your first step is to decide what size quilt you are making. The Wake Me Up Quilt comes in 2 sizes, a throw size and a queen size. The throw finishes at 56” x 56” and the queen size finishes at 84” x 84”. Lots of us are home at the moment and have a bit more time on our hands, but if you’re a bit time poor (can anyone say homeschooling?) then the throw size is perfect for a quick finish. The next step is to decide on colours! CHOOSING YOUR COLOURS:Yay! Any excuse to buy some more fabric, right? This week we are concentrating on choosing fabrics and cutting all the squares needed for this quilt. The quilt is made up of 4 colour groups. You may choose to make your quilt from solids or prints or a combination of both. You may also decide to go raid your scrap basket and go completely scrappy or choose 4 main fabrics in each colour. The beauty of this quilt is that you don’t have to go out and buy more fabric (or better still, stay in and order online) – you can raid your stash and make a gorgeous quilt! For my original quilt, I used aqua, navy, pink and yellow with a very subtle text print for the background. The key when choosing your colours groups is to choose colours that contrast well so the secondary patterns in the quilt are easy to see. The quilt has been designed to highlight 2 shapes – described as a circle block and a square block in the pattern – so the easiest way to find success with your quilts is to make sure there is contrast in these shapes. A great way to work out if the colours you’re thinking of using work well in this quilt, is to use the colouring page from the pattern and have a play around with the colour placement. This quilt can look so different just by changing the placement of your colours. Take a look at the four images below. The first image is the same as my original quilt. The next 3 are the same colours in different positions. How different does the quilt look in the other pictures!      WAKE ME UP INSPO There are so many lovely colour combinations to choose from. I’ve come up with a few combinations to help inspire those who are still struggling. Word of warning though, if you’re like me you’ll want to make all the versions! WARM QUILT COOL QUILT TONAL QUILT Sidenote – if you’re finding you’re a bit overwhelmed with all the options, you can also buy a kit from the ones curated by The Quilt Shop or Millrose Quilting and Gallery.MY QUILT The quilt I’m making for the sew along is for my parent's bedroom in their new, very modern house. I'm using a subtle palette of greys, blacks and yellows. The plan is to make a queen size, but I might even decide to go BIG! By making 64 blocks (8 x 8) my quilt will end up at 107" square. My folks have a king size bed so the queen size won’t be big enough. I’m excited about these colours though! CUTTINGHave you ever noticed that there are two kinds of quilters? There a quilters who enjoy making blocks and then there are quilters who want the recipe for the fastest way to put a quilt together – the chain piecers.Well in this pattern, I have catered for both. If you love to make one block at a time and then pieced the blocks together down the track, then I’ve got you covered. You’ll be making the circle blocks and square blocks!    If, on the other hand, you want to chain piece the quilt and get this thing done fast, then look no further! There’s a construction method to satisfy you too. CUTTING TIPS If your plan is to follow the first method of construction or you’re working from a limited number of fat quarters in each colour group, all the cutting instructions for the throw and queen size quilts are set out on page 1 and 2 of your pattern. You’re basically cutting out heaps of squares! On the other hand, if you’re planning on making a scrappy quilt using lots of different fabrics, then your first step is to make note of how many squares you need for each colour group. That part is simple – I’ve added the total number of squares needed beside each colour on page 1 and 2 of your pattern. Next, gather all your fabric pieces and scraps together and count them. Then divide the number of squares you need for each colour by the number of fabrics you have and you’ll know how many squares you need to cut from each! Example:In the queen size instructions, you will need a total of 72 of the “pink fabric” squares. Let’s say you have 9 different pink fabrics that you’d like to use. If you teleport yourself back to grade 4 maths (or ask your home schooled kids!) then a simple calculation will reveal that you’ll need to cut 8 squares from each of your 9 pink fabrics! Follow this simple rule for each of the remaining colours. *PLEASE NOTE* The pattern calls for you to cut larger squares from the “aqua”, “navy” and “background” fabrics to make Half Square Triangles (HSTs). Lots of quilters like to cut their HSTs bigger and then trim them down to size. Just remember when you’re trimming that your unfinished HSTs need to be 4” square. If you have any questions, you can always email me! Thanks so much for coming on this ride with me. The world is a strange place at the moment and I hope this Sew-Along brings you some joy from your home and a sense of community as we all physically distance ourselves. Stay safe and let’s have some fun!Emma x

Welcome! Welcome to the Wake Me Up Quilt Sew Along! I’m so glad you will be joining me for my first ever Sew-Along. The Wake Me Up Quilt is really special to me. Before I had Henry, my little boy, I had all the time in the world to spend designing fabric and patterns. Right after Henry was born, I realised that my quilting and designing window had become a lot smaller. I quickly found that as life got more complex, I really needed to simplify things and that included my designs! Wake Me Up is one of the first quilts I’ve designed since I had Henry. They say that necessity is the mother of invention and boy have I discovered that. Henry sleeps for around 2 hours in the middle of the day, so I really wanted to make a quilt that was easy to piece, came together quickly and was fun to make. I think the fact that I’ve already made 3 of these quilts shows just how fast and easy it is! The brilliant thing about the Wake Me Up Quilt… is that it your sewing squares and half square triangles and it only uses 4 colours. This means that it’s perfect for working from your stash or raiding your scrap basket! This quilt is all about colour placement! You can see from looking at the 3 versions I’ve made so far that the quilt can look so different just by placing the colours in different positions.     Follow along on instagram using the hashtags #wakemeupsal and #wakemeupquilt If you haven't decided yet what fabrics you’re going to use, wait for the Week 1 Newsletter which will be out soon.
