Ebony Love - LoveBug Studios

Location :

1862 E Belvidere Rd, PMB 388, Grayslake, Illinois 60030

Hi! I'm Ebony, and I created LoveBug Studios as an outlet for my creative energy and to feed my soul. At the time I created my design studio, I had no idea how passionate I would become about sharing my designs and teaching others about this wonderful craft that I love.

Would you like to connect with me via my email newsletters? They include quilting tips, product information, and locations where I'll be teaching. You can sign up here: http://www.lovebugstudios.com/newsletter/signup/name/

I'm also known as the Queen of Fabric Die Cutting, and I've written a book that's fantastically detailed on the subject, called The Big Little Book of Fabric Die Cutting Tips. You can find out more here: http://www.lovebugstudios.com/love/books/fabric-die-cutting-tips/

  When’s the last time you changed your needle? Mine is well overdue! I definitely heard the change in my stitching too. Maybe today’s a good day for you to change yours too? @schmetzneedles @husqvarnaviking #vikingambassador

  This is as far as I’ve gotten on my list. To be fair, I just made the wrong list. I ended up making two quilt backings, cut about 20+ fabric bundles, worked on some class proposals, cut up scraps for dog beds, and cleaned off my table at least 4 times. Nothing but #squirrelmoments all weekend!! #misslovesfinishingschool #finishingschool #listmaker #quiltmaker

  Die cutting makes fast work of these hexies! Six passed through my die cutter yielded 48 hexies. This is going to be a fun project and so fast! #misslovesfinishingschool

  Cutting down fat quarters into 8-½” strips. Any guesses about the shape I’m heading toward? Here’s a hint: it’s a die cut! And no... this isn’t on the list but I have to clean off my table and these are in the way!! 😂 #misslovesfinishingschool

  Using the sideways stitches (Menu S) on my #designerepic to add a hook and loop tape strap to my foot binder so my books stop falling out of the back pocket! #vikingambassador

  Time to make a new list! This weekend is pretty busy so I’m not sure how much I will get done, but I’m sure a backing is in there somewhere! #secretsewing @island_batik #fabricdesigner

  In case you are following along: no, this didn’t all get done over the weekend, but I’m still making progress! All my sample quilts are cut for the fall season, and now piecing in earnest can begin! I’m pretty sure I’ll need to enlist some #stuntpiecing to get them all done!!

  This weekend’s festivities! Learned my lesson about being to ambitious. What are you sewing today?

  TBH, I should have stopped at four! Even though the list isn’t finished, I got a lot done, and I’ve finished three quilts over two weekends. Not bad I say! So next weekend I will pick four more things to work on. If you like this idea but want something less intense, my Spring semester of Finishing School is now open. Check out the link in my instagram profile or in the comments to learn more. #finishingschool

  Life never misses an opportunity to spoil a good plan! I forgot I had to stitch the letters down first. The other quilt is loaded, but I spent the morning down a rabbit hole organising digital designs instead of stitching them! Oh well, progress is progress! Hooray for the second finish this year! #nationalquiltingday @swirlygirlsdesign #areyoushearious #progressnotperfection

  When you can’t figure out how to assemble your blocks into a random pattern, toss them around the room!! #nationalquiltingday #randompiecing
