Trish & Birdie Blog Hop!

Today is my stop on the Trish & Birdie blog hop!  Trish & Birdie is this super cute new fabric line designed by Deane Beesley for Sweet Bee Designs. I decided to make a baby quilt with these fat quarters.  Aren’t these prints lovely? What’s more adorable than chevrons?!  I know chevrons were a big thing a while ago, but I don’t have a chevron quilt yet!  This quilt...

Fall Into A QAL Block 8!

Today’s the day Block 8 is released!  Are the leaves changing colors yet?!  Jennifer from Inquiring Quilter designed a paper pieced leaf block!  If you are new to paper piecing, there is a beginner version of the block too!  I made the confident beginner block which is just slightly more difficult.

Cupcake Mix Recipe Creations!

Remember when I toured the Moda Warehouse in June? I got a Garden Variety Charm Pack and a Cupcake Mix Recipe to try out.  I have seen the Recipe cards before but hadn’t had a chance to use them yet.  I figured this would be a great time to try them out! The Cupcake Mix Recipes pair perfectly with a Charm Pack and a Cake...

Fall Into A QAL Block 7!

Today’s the day Block 7 is released!  What is fall without pumpkins?!  Bobbi from Snowy Days Quilting designed this Pumpkin Patch block!  I love that you can make the block with 5 of the same pumpkins like I did or make all the pumpkins look different!

August Color Challenge Block!

It’s the first day of August, so it’s a new color for the Monthly Color Challenge!  This month’s color is YELLOW-ORANGE! If you want more details on the challenge, read about it here.  I apparently did not have many yellow-orange fabrics, and they all turned out to be around the same shade.  Whoops.  Lesson learned, go for more variety in terms of value. Jen from...

Happy Monday!  This is a special Monday edition to share the tote that I made for Jessica Swift’s Summer Tote Challenge! Jessica provided me the fabric to make this awesome tote and I absolutely ADORE how it turned out!  Jessica’s summer tote challenge goes until Tuesday, so don’t forget to submit your totes before then!  In addition, there will be totes popping up on Instagram...

Fall Into A QAL Block 6!

Today’s the day Block 6 is released!  This is the second block that I designed for this Quilt Along!  One of my favorite things about fall is eating Pies!  Something about the weather getting colder and devouring a yummy Cherry Berry pie from Grand Traverse Pie Company makes me super happy!  So here is my fabulous Pie block!

Pattern Play Challenge!

This month’s Island Batik Challenge is to create a quilt that creates a secondary pattern!  The fabrics featured in this post were given to me by Island Batik.  I love secondary patterns, and I tend to use them in all of my quilts that I design!  I decided to wait until I got my second ambassador box before deciding which fabrics to use in this...

2018 Midyear Review (Friday Foto Fun #39)

Happy Friday!  One week living in Missouri and I am still unpacking my sewing room.  I thought this week would be a great time to do my 2018 Midyear Review.  Yvonne from Quilting Jet Girl hosted the 2018 Planning Party last December and this is my midyear review. Powered by Quilting Goals: Release at least 4 full patterns this year, so approximately once a quarter....
