Scrappy Plate Quilt Completed

 

It's a good feeling to have finished this Scrappy Plate quilt from Bunnyhill's free pattern found here. I had so much fun making this quilt, I think this is my favourite quilt I'm made so far (I might have said that before). I used as many polka dot fabrics as I could find and I like the mix of colour. Many of the fabrics are from Kaffe Fassett line which I haven't bought before making this quilt (now I have a nice collection). The plates are hand appliqued and I did the machine quilting.

Get ready for lots of pictures below.

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed all the pictures.
Happy Quilting.

Book Blog Tour and Giveaway Week 3

 

It's week three of Cheryl's book blog tour. I still have a few more weeks before it's my turn, I'm so excited to be part of Country Quilts book tour.  Check out Kim at My Brown Bag Studio she has posted a couple of projects from this book. I love how she adapted the size of the projects and fabric choices. There are many more chances to win this fantastic book. Check out Cheryl and Kim's blog to see how to win.

Happy Quilting.

Christmas Through the Year and SSA #4

 

This is a quick post to show a couple of things. Firstly, I've made 2 more of the vinyl pouches using the Atkinson Designs pattern, these are the smallest size, the pattern comes with 3 sizes. I'm posting them kinda late for July Christmas Through the Year hosted by Darlene and Cheryl....maybe they will go easy on me since it's summer.

 

I might as well include the Summer Sew Along blocks, number 4 is finished.

Happy Quilting.

A Little Progress

 

I know block 4 has already been posted, I have 3 blocks of the Summer Star Sew Along completed. These are so cute and it doesn't take long to make one block, so why don't I have block 4 done yet....I was busy today driving the Triangle Farm Tour. Found some wonderful stuff and enjoyed the garden tour.

 

I'm making a red and white quilt with the exchange squares from last years swap. I'm making my quilt queen size and needed 9 blocks more than the pattern, for a total of 25 blocks. The quilt will be 91"x91". It's a free pattern called Charming Stars on Moda Bake Shop. All the blocks are complete but I still need to add the sashing and border. A couple of bloggers have already finished this quilt Quilting Daze and Sunshine Yellow.

 

I don't get many good pictures of Lula, I especially like this one. I caught her resting on the stairs enjoying the sun, she is my little princess.

Happy Quilting.

Book Blog Tour

 

Cheryl of Country Quilts has a new book and I'm very lucky to have been invited to be part of her first blog tour (Thanks Cheryl).....I can't tell you which week......just that it's coming soon. Each week you'll have the opportunity to win her new book, check out Cheryl's blog for how to enter and to see the reveal of the next location. You can see her quilts and Cheryl's guest post on the Martingale blog. The props used in the book are from her personal collection....that's so cool. I was so excited when the book arrived, I immediately started working on one of the quilts....to be continued.

Enjoy the tour.

Progress on BOM's

 

Blocks one and two for the Summer Star Sew Along at Temecula are finished. Block three has been posted, I'll be working on that one sometime this weekend.

 

I'm all caught up on the mystery BOM. I showed the first 3 blocks here. This is a mystery BOM at my local quilt shop (Creative Edge), we are on number 7. These are large blocks, 12" finished.  I'm enjoying the mix of pretty fabrics, some are the Ruby collection.

 

I really like the basket block.

Happy Quilting.

Clear Pouch and SSA

 

This is a Atkinson Designs pattern and very fun to make. A week ago Carol had made this pattern and I thought, I have that pattern, why don't I make a few for Christmas gifts. The clear plastic front makes it easy to see the contents, I've made the largest pouch here. You should visit Carol's blog, she is making one Christmas project per day for the month of July, it's very inspiring.

 

The first block of Temecula Summer Star Sew Along, one block per week. The blocks will all be stars and this one is 4" finished.

Happy Quilting.
