This quilt is definitely in the “quilts I haven’t blogged about” category. At my last job my co-worker Jean and his wife had a baby boy. Not knowing the mom and wanting to create a quilt that was simple and classic I decided on stripes. Not finding the stripes that I wanted, I decided to make my own stripes. White …
More Glam Clam Goodness
You ask and you shall receive. Well sometimes at least. 🙂 I just posted two things today that some of you have been asking for. One is the video tutorial on how to piece those Glam Clams without pins! You can find it on my brand new YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76PoDJl7vDw Second, I had several people including my friends Elisabeth Woo …
Animal Parade Blanket & Softie Set
Yesterday I shared the Zoom Baby Blanket and Book that I made for one cousin that had a little boy. Well, her sister had a baby boy within a few months so I had to make a similar gift for her as well. This time, I pulled my Ed Emberley fabric out. I LOVE the elephant print and that was …
Zoom Blanket & Book Set
I have two cousins who are sisters who had baby boys within months of each other. I love to make quilts but, sometimes don’t have the time to make them for gifts but, people expect handmade gifts when you sew. So, I decided to make quickie blankets and toys for both of them. I had to make the gifts different …
Convergence Quilt and Bias Tape Applique
I LOVE bias tape. Always have. I know it’s weird but, I do. I love everything about it. I love making it, looking at it, using it. So, after making yards and yards of bias tape for bindings I thought “what else can I use bias tape for?” Then I thought why can’t I use it to ‘draw’ designs as …

Text fabric has been all the rage for the last couple years and is now so popular that it is a staple in many of the new fabric lines. Have you ever thought of making your own? Many of you have seen and used the IKEA Britten Nummer text fabric which is a large scale bold script. I REALLY wanted …
Christmas in July :)
As this is a quilting and sewing blog, I try to keep things such as religion out of my blog and I have no intention of getting into my current beliefs here. 🙂 But, I feel a bit of history is necessary here. I was raised Muslim and incidentally we are right in the middle of my favorite time of …
Cutting out your Glam Clam Quilt
In chatting with my students in preparation for my Glam Clam Quilt class that I’ll teach in a few weeks for the first time at Sew Modern in Los Angeles, I’ve come across a couple things that might be useful to you too. In the free Glam Clam Quilt pattern I don’t give a lot of information on how to …
Clamshell Pattern Posted!
UPDATE (December 2016): After nearly 3 years and 20,000 downloads the free version of the Glam Clam pattern was in great need of an update AND I’ve since developed a line of acrylic templates called The Clammy. I spent many, many hours updating it and now it’s a paid pattern. I can be found in my shop: shop.latifahsaafirstudios.com and on …
First Kiss Quilt
I’ve been working on this quilt to test the free clamshell quilt pattern that will be coming VERY soon. It is called First Kiss and is made with 12″ machine pieced clamshells. It will eventually be a picnic quilt for me. When I first saw Melody Miller’s Ruby Star Sparkle line, specifically the Roller Skates, 110 Cameras and the Rotary …
