Pat Sloan's Holiday Book Tour!

Update 06.15.21
This giveaway is now closed. Thank you to everyone who entered and congratuations to Robin J. who is the winner of a copy of Pat Sloan's new book!

Come back soon for more FAB fun and check out our books and patterns via the links you'll find… well… pretty much all over this site!

S&J

If you are a quilter, then you probably already know the name Pat Sloan. Pat is one of the icons of the quilting world and, in 2020, we had the honor of meeting Pat and working with her as part of the Aurifil Designer Block of the Month Series. Now, Pat has a new book out and has asked us to be a part of her blog book tour. WOOHOO!! Pat’s book, Holiday Celebrations – 17 Quilts and More for 6 Seasonal Occasions, contains patterns for quilts and home décor that span a year’s worth of holiday themes. She asked us to pick one project to recreate in our own style and we had to much fun doing just that.

Hello, Luv! from Holiday Celebrations by Pat Sloan

For our stop on the tour, we picked the Hello, Luv! project. This is a classic X’s and O’s blocks made into this sweet little table mat and it was just screaming to be made from improv fabrics.

BTW, Pat… love you to pieces dahling but we have both had Ex’s and Oh’s by Elle King going through our heads on repeat for daaaaays because of this project. We’re not really complaining. It’s not a bad song to have stuck in your head… especially if you remember the video. Just sayin’…

If you’ve taken one of our quilting classes, you know we love these little mats cum mini quilts. They are in the Goldilocks Zone of quilting projects providing you with a way to try out a quilting technique or pattern without committing to a full-size quilt, but you still have something FAB and useable when you are finished. Hang them on the wall or use them as… well… table mats! Use them as the base for your centerpiece or as a resting place for a vase of flowers that you definitely did not pick from the neighbor’s rose bushes that are growing out into the alley that they will never miss because they don’t take care of them or ever come out to look at them or smell them and they are just going to go to waste back there so why shouldn’t you enjoy them?!? *ahem* You get the idea; a little bit of gorgeousness that is both beautiful and useful for a relatively small time commitment. Moving on…

As we said, the Hello, Luv! just screamed for us to use improv fabric. And who are we to not listen? We answered that creative call by using leftovers and odd bits from our last major project, The Colors of My Pride quilt pattern. In this house, we use all the parts of the quilt! No bit or sliver of fabric, or thread goes unloved. Our Improv Hello, Luv! uses Cherrywood Hand Dyed Fabric so, if you want to create your own but don’t have a lot of scraps, you can purchase scrap bundles on our website in our Shiba Snacks pack or our Shibaguyz Bento Box.

The Colors of My Pride Quilt by the Shibaguyz

Improv fabric reach to be cut into blocks.

We assembled the improv fabric from our scrap bins of Colors of My Pride quilt fabrics and used the resulting improv fabrics to cut the 5” central blocks from. The quieter parts of the blocks, the fabric that frames the X’s and O’s pattern, is the framing fabric we used for our Colors of My Pride quilt pattern as well. Karla Overton at Cherrywood Hand Dyed Fabrics has some “official” name for it like Shy or something like that. We call it the Devastatingly Gorgeous Pink. That barely-there pink is… well… devastatingly gorgeous.

Once our improv fabric was assembled, all we had to do was follow the steps in Pat’s book! We have not specifically tried Pat’s sew-and-flip technique, so we gave it a try here using the prescribed 5” and 3” squares and it worked like a charm. Our improv fabric is the 5” squares and the pink fabric is the 3” squares.

Blocks ready for trimming and assembly!

Our Improv Hello, Luv!

And, through the magic of blog posts… TAADAA!! We love how our Improv Hello, Luv! mini table mat turned out. Thank you, Pat for the inspiration!

We hope this brings y’all some inspiration to use up some of your own scraps or start a scrap collection with your next sewing and quilting projects. And, if you are new to this whole quilting thing, consider picking up a smaller project like this one and giving it a go!

I LOVE the Christmas holidays with all its colors and warmth. Reminds me of my family. Both my parents came from large families and during the holidays we would ALL get together. Talk about sardines! But Christmas always reminds me of those times. And I can't help but tell you how much I love your take on the X AND O block.

Teri Hackett

6/8/2021 04:57:58 am

I love Valentine’s Day! It is like a secret treasure in your pocket because it arrives unexpectedly in the middle of random ordinary time, bursting with joy for all that we love—just like your amazing improvisational take on Pat’s X’s and O’s.

Hi, loved the project your did from Pats. My favorite holiday is Christmas, ie. the real meaning of the season, not Santa…. During the year I make kids book pillows, buy books to match, along with some matching toys and occasionally a small kids quilt. I donate these to my local kids Christmas campaign for disadvantaged kids in the community. Love love doing this, a few of my themes have been Harry Potter, ballerina(complete with a ballerina barbie and a little tutu for the child), monkeys with monkey sock toy, construction, dinosaurs…. Quilt craft on!

Love your improv fabric blocks. Great idea. No scrap is too small! For me, as much as I love Christmas and Thanksgiving, I just think of all the work and preparations that goes into the festive holidays.
For that reason, I have a better appreciation for 4th of July. A little bit of red, white and blue - some flags in the yard - and I can sit back enjoy the happy (not worn out) faces going by.

My favorite holiday is St. Patrick's day because the 4 leaf clover is my Trade mark. I put one behind each quilt label, so the quilt recipient always has Good Luck in their life.

Thanksgiving is a day to be grateful for our many blessings. Sometimes that means celebrating at home with my son, while other times it's visiting my daughter and her family far away.
The fall leaves on the table runner remind me of the colorful autumn leaves that we enjoy here.

As a child this was what we most looked forward to. And in the southern hemisphere it was all about being outside, Christmas Lunch in the backyard under the trees, playing with extended family and just having fun - just like these wonderful Improv patchwork pieces.

Even though it is not an 'official' holiday, I like St. Patrick's Day, because my 'trademark' is a 4 leaf clover. I put a dried 4 leaf clover behind my quilt labels, so my family and friends will always have 'Good Luck'.
