I had so much fun making the extra filler blocks and putting it all together and I am in love with how my quilt turned out!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi6ngOzhS3CWfC2j2LNYvAcRUYUxT319aiSUfu3XuAUX-xhrqmE-qinV4xnJbGlLSgyCD-Y38cU1jPBELBE59beVjVPhzD01XCbfFmV9uBFHrj7AMeMEPiRCqFSlCpRXfM3pxMz341m7FoI0M7vVQE5Zk8_QUQqNbQpVp3Y90zc2ecuRGPb_IoI4J9j=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi6ngOzhS3CWfC2j2LNYvAcRUYUxT319aiSUfu3XuAUX-xhrqmE-qinV4xnJbGlLSgyCD-Y38cU1jPBELBE59beVjVPhzD01XCbfFmV9uBFHrj7AMeMEPiRCqFSlCpRXfM3pxMz341m7FoI0M7vVQE5Zk8_QUQqNbQpVp3Y90zc2ecuRGPb_IoI4J9j=w150-h200" width="150" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>The finishing instructions begin on page 130. We need to make a couple filler blocks and than assemble our top in sections. </p><p>The flying geese on page 130 I made as directed. Normally I use my Flying Geese Ruler from Creative Grids, but this time I just followed the pattern. You are going to use first 6 on page 130 and the next 7 will be used on page 132. </p><p>When putting your Criss-Cross blocks together, you can widen or narrow your B filler piece to get it to right length if needed. And this goes for all the filler pieces in the quilt. If you need any of them to be bigger or smaller to get the sections to fit together properly just make them the size needed. </p><p>On the bottom of page 131 you are instructed to make 6 more Geese. For this one I did use my Ultimate Flying Geese ruler and made 4 at a time, and just ended up with 2 extra geese. I prefer to make my Geese this way as I can trim them to the correct size. </p><p>For the rest of the quilt the assembly is quite straight forward, especially if you work best off of pictures. If you work off of worded directions it may not be so easy, as there are not a of written instructions. There are pressing instructions displayed on each image, but I just pressed in the direction that my fabric seemed to want to go. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhGwf5BwuvCAc8CHJ0MnRKERUXTZ20cKk-XZwrB5qokfQhXZzQsRHgs-LefFnepaBjCRa992eyYrIrWspY-ZC-0hSG4bTfjz6EweBYcL-WAjQcsPuLfJ_SGmiCyLXsUheVWckUUJSzRFi-KGO3_nqcQLswrPVgpUB7OCuSLfbAZpm1jfz1W-viicECL=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhGwf5BwuvCAc8CHJ0MnRKERUXTZ20cKk-XZwrB5qokfQhXZzQsRHgs-LefFnepaBjCRa992eyYrIrWspY-ZC-0hSG4bTfjz6EweBYcL-WAjQcsPuLfJ_SGmiCyLXsUheVWckUUJSzRFi-KGO3_nqcQLswrPVgpUB7OCuSLfbAZpm1jfz1W-viicECL=w150-h200" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>When I assembled my quilt top I laid the whole thing out on the floor before sewing any blocks together. This was to see if I would like the color distribution through my quilt. I did end up swapping a couple blocks around to get a layout I was happy with. Don't be afraid to do this to your own. It is your quilt and nobody will know if you swapped locations of blocks. Make sure any blocks you do trade are the same size, otherwise it will get tricky for you. <p></p><p>In my quilt I swapped the house and the bee, they are the same tall and in the same row so it worked well, if I hadn't I would have had a lot of orange and red in the lower middle section. I also trade some blocks on the right hand side of my quilt to spread out some more of the reds. </p><p>I used a cotton print from the Figs and Shirtings Collection by Fig Tree for the backing of my quilt, which is the same collection that I used for the front. I quilted it with loops, a simple pattern that is not distracting from the blocks at all. I bound it with a light print from the collection. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjjs--gsid2tk4FqHRPb6FIkw-h3YtcDGKEl2Ykpviz6S9xvw9Tl1TXljemIzPDm2LASBrHS7lXj70iaRt3mxi8K2wJxtf76tdUNXcb9renflc8sUJ4QsNuixeNmKjVeYHeUdqSau2UgouPeGPqnt_vQliRPvyExEboskPaIujFpGKPqRmML_4h0TrW=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjjs--gsid2tk4FqHRPb6FIkw-h3YtcDGKEl2Ykpviz6S9xvw9Tl1TXljemIzPDm2LASBrHS7lXj70iaRt3mxi8K2wJxtf76tdUNXcb9renflc8sUJ4QsNuixeNmKjVeYHeUdqSau2UgouPeGPqnt_vQliRPvyExEboskPaIujFpGKPqRmML_4h0TrW=w200-h150" width="200" /></a></div><p></p><p>I am planning to hang this one in my sewing space. <br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhs9Uz65fKLGajCXbc0TWBajB9OvW951_6RHEQZsjRwaYiFqijMh--cerUTp0KWwsOFuAMQNHcCzb3yuyXBeJHVKua5t1TcSbFT52InhVFxCfl_qc_1ohb9cqi1Uq8LCnUS7tpzssAQoqHZrlASAj71gStE8dblSNkBxqviYMGlxCfziCBDHHwCkuJQ=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhs9Uz65fKLGajCXbc0TWBajB9OvW951_6RHEQZsjRwaYiFqijMh--cerUTp0KWwsOFuAMQNHcCzb3yuyXBeJHVKua5t1TcSbFT52InhVFxCfl_qc_1ohb9cqi1Uq8LCnUS7tpzssAQoqHZrlASAj71gStE8dblSNkBxqviYMGlxCfziCBDHHwCkuJQ=s320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Thank you all for sewing along with me this past year.

I am posting Month 11 for our Bonnie and Camille Quilt Bee just a little early, but I thought if I posted it today than I could post the finishing next week. Because if you are anything like me, once you get those final blocks finished you are not going to want to put it away again, but rather jump right into assembling your blocks into a finished quilt top!</p><p style="text-align: center;">This month we have 3 blocks to make, each one of them different. We have the Starburst Block on page 124, the Summer Block on page 126 and the Sunshine Block on page 128.</p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjDK-eh30zqtutVwUUM1Eymxdm8buoaR81lje4bakU_TpZBg3DzHD9vc7gxA7EpZOK6Yz1pCpQ55bH__OPVtswMt3E9ri6Nx7AmVM8K8bXH5VoTWbFPblcDhzMV48zZcmcNcUc_lz5JCSCDCmAZ5uP3o5Y2AsABE2qRQia8FyJOGT_IWJNZteMWUzpT=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjDK-eh30zqtutVwUUM1Eymxdm8buoaR81lje4bakU_TpZBg3DzHD9vc7gxA7EpZOK6Yz1pCpQ55bH__OPVtswMt3E9ri6Nx7AmVM8K8bXH5VoTWbFPblcDhzMV48zZcmcNcUc_lz5JCSCDCmAZ5uP3o5Y2AsABE2qRQia8FyJOGT_IWJNZteMWUzpT=w150-h200" width="150" /></a></div>Starburst Block. For this block I chose to use a color that I felt I had not used very much of yet. Maybe you want to take a look at all your blocks and see if there is a color that is a little under represented. The block itself goes together really nicely. When making the center of the block I pressed the blocks in each row to A and when assembling the rows pressed both the top and bottom to the center, this helped with nesting seams and getting a nice flat center. When making the CG units I pressed my Left Units towards the G and my Right Units toward the C, this allowed me to nest the seams when assembling them and I got nice points there. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhV3mW37ioH53zLi7LCRePcb4XbTrGZWwZfX98ZKVXlwWAs9QiymKxrNhFFuYJaa8ht1Dhvx80Z78OSDu9N2jGQ9yw9Mx0sXJdJeLrjIur4exxE3Q0o7dzg3WB5T9L5eT6NJLtkPiESPOUXmKfmF1vDMhLkTBS6SD8SOw-cj3DhHPxkRXtS_Z5hK23J=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhV3mW37ioH53zLi7LCRePcb4XbTrGZWwZfX98ZKVXlwWAs9QiymKxrNhFFuYJaa8ht1Dhvx80Z78OSDu9N2jGQ9yw9Mx0sXJdJeLrjIur4exxE3Q0o7dzg3WB5T9L5eT6NJLtkPiESPOUXmKfmF1vDMhLkTBS6SD8SOw-cj3DhHPxkRXtS_Z5hK23J=w150-h200" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Summer Block. For this block I had a mistake in my pattern book in the cutting instructions. For B in the background it says to cut a 2 1/2" strip and subcut into 4 - 4 1/2" squares. You need to cut your strip 4 1/2" in order to get the squares, 2 1/2" just won't work. To make the 4 hourglass units I did not cut my A, D and E squares into triangles instead I made half square triangles and than used those to make the quarter square triangles.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"> To do this: (A is white, D is green and E is blue in my photos)</p><p style="text-align: center;"> Draw a line on the diagonal of the wrong side of a D square, place right sides together with a A square and sew a 1/4" from each side of the line, cut apart on the drawn line and press towards D. This will result in 2 AD HST units. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Repeat with the remaining D and 1 E squares for 2 ED HSTs. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjpa3TIVWfnRBpBXMSvaTCzHDqvnL2W8t5z7DB3UwRMlVxM5t9VhEZGU3Q3mvJ1cR5-yGaI8F7M9nUWMgoC1ylWa3_DeWfsCpcIO_ZZjT_SZO0j3KCxDB33tEbKipxFxIoxR3PjtsL-yBFZNdCfEMrfgK03ibNhEWJ5Q2oTtPqhoLgnz2OlC-3NJVHs=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjpa3TIVWfnRBpBXMSvaTCzHDqvnL2W8t5z7DB3UwRMlVxM5t9VhEZGU3Q3mvJ1cR5-yGaI8F7M9nUWMgoC1ylWa3_DeWfsCpcIO_ZZjT_SZO0j3KCxDB33tEbKipxFxIoxR3PjtsL-yBFZNdCfEMrfgK03ibNhEWJ5Q2oTtPqhoLgnz2OlC-3NJVHs=w150-h200" width="150" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of a AD HST going across your stitch line. </div><p></p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;">Place right sides together with a ED HST making sure your D pieces are not on top of each other and your seams are nested tight together.

For this block I used my Ultimate Flying Geese Ruler from Creative Grids and the heart method to make 4 at a time flying geese. The cutting for this is a little different as you cut one large square and 4 small squares to make 4 Flying Geese, but I love the extra trimming room it provides. The sizes to cut are written on the ruler and how to trim are included in the pamphlet provided with the ruler. Once I had my Geese made I pressed completely opposite of the pattern, because I dislike pressing geese towards the top point but would much rather press towards the flat bottom of the geese. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">Aside from all my changes it was a fun block to make. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjLAs1VEkokWAg9LC-Mv4WqyszcuSOu5HUZIpFa5GaRqVy2HY2z0ufTYwIVlBzBBU9sdzPRrjf56su4ilIkPdJLgEl1unT9u2VTkVkRE3912FDIk-wePKY095cnJ5SJDAGCpAjfyKJ8zf_Hn737t9JOiapo0B4iHywvA38bXaP4K-oySF071V8EJFic=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjLAs1VEkokWAg9LC-Mv4WqyszcuSOu5HUZIpFa5GaRqVy2HY2z0ufTYwIVlBzBBU9sdzPRrjf56su4ilIkPdJLgEl1unT9u2VTkVkRE3912FDIk-wePKY095cnJ5SJDAGCpAjfyKJ8zf_Hn737t9JOiapo0B4iHywvA38bXaP4K-oySF071V8EJFic=w150-h200" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I will be back next week to share some assembly tips!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhaQVkfVZFtHci5KcNXj2uFlr2LtH9cW92stABOYrxgL9j4JUo4FtBsoZSmpMuxClMR7baOEjM_-PDAXhLh2_-0zX8LZSixexm2e1KlJv5F90Ejuc_tyHInE2tJ71JJbMxptUsmWeG18roYoMqJqrHUo0e5Rp_wUOIz3PQzyq29yyLNa8Ao9Czh73mP=s3469" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3469" data-original-width="2576" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhaQVkfVZFtHci5KcNXj2uFlr2LtH9cW92stABOYrxgL9j4JUo4FtBsoZSmpMuxClMR7baOEjM_-PDAXhLh2_-0zX8LZSixexm2e1KlJv5F90Ejuc_tyHInE2tJ71JJbMxptUsmWeG18roYoMqJqrHUo0e5Rp_wUOIz3PQzyq29yyLNa8Ao9Czh73mP=w149-h200" width="149" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Have fun making your blocks and have a great week. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Kayla</div><br /><p><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Kaylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05977428477407156717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657037479017009589.post-40857906085533979492021-12-02T19:52:00.001-08:002021-12-02T19:52:12.039-08:00Garden Sampler BOM Month 12 and Finishing<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It is December already!

Today I want to share with you a little tutorial on how to make our favorite oven mitt. It is a fairly quick project and makes a great gift, either by itself or paired with an apron or some baking items. </p><p>To make this oven mitt you need </p><p>1/4 meter outer fabric</p><p>1/4 meter lining fabric</p><p>1/4 meter insul-bright</p><p>Fat quarter or 0.4 meter binding fabric</p><p>The first step is to make a quilt sandwich with your outer fabric, lining and insul-bright. The-insul bright does not have a right or wrong side so it does not matter which way it lays between your fabrics. Quilt the pieces together how ever you like.

This month we are making the blocks in the Month 10 section. We have to make a total of 3 blocks, each one of them a different pattern. </p><p>We will be making the Rainbow Block on page 119, the Sparkling Star Block on page 121 and the Spring Block on page 123.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEixK8T50PKTxNmRSGY2nHmufZsU8HfLe1G3KPLjjlJjr-Ro1LE_Lp6hPwF8rG5HeKZElEEwnbUDMsdt_sHb0MpkxDtymPOEKJACXGIBHBTn38xe8_G_mdCcoW6EUaeeDQz7vnFk5ttnPpdZVP_z2JyJIe45mrq016toDN0rXdS51pJIm95vz8juZkq4=s2977" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2548" data-original-width="2977" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEixK8T50PKTxNmRSGY2nHmufZsU8HfLe1G3KPLjjlJjr-Ro1LE_Lp6hPwF8rG5HeKZElEEwnbUDMsdt_sHb0MpkxDtymPOEKJACXGIBHBTn38xe8_G_mdCcoW6EUaeeDQz7vnFk5ttnPpdZVP_z2JyJIe45mrq016toDN0rXdS51pJIm95vz8juZkq4=s320" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Rainbow Block. This block is super fun to make and turns out so cute. Be sure to be careful when sewing the flip and stitch corners. You want to be sure your stitch lines go through each corner not to either side. This will help your fabric flip over nice and straight. To help with this start stitching on a scrap piece of fabric and continue on to your actually unit, this will help your corners not get eaten by the feed dogs and needle and will assist in getting your corner lined up neatly under the needle. <p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjshyNMNj0NBY9PNv8rxQoEWjENo2UIG-G0_DHtV3JUvsebGUJo_5x3VFfob5Yo2U7EXcKdJHyfokF4ye03rT6mSDLarm4fyyPpDMSZG6hobZOi0aN_XAJKDwXEk_7x65Jp14ltPPmSvsMYxvtC7hTnvhoL5WsS9b1XATkW8EljC9mKsYq6jm_oSHb4=s2985" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2189" data-original-width="2985" height="147" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjshyNMNj0NBY9PNv8rxQoEWjENo2UIG-G0_DHtV3JUvsebGUJo_5x3VFfob5Yo2U7EXcKdJHyfokF4ye03rT6mSDLarm4fyyPpDMSZG6hobZOi0aN_XAJKDwXEk_7x65Jp14ltPPmSvsMYxvtC7hTnvhoL5WsS9b1XATkW8EljC9mKsYq6jm_oSHb4=w200-h147" width="200" /></a></div>Sparkling Star Block. This block is a little time consuming with quite a few little points. I used my Cat's Cradle Ruler from Creative Grids to make each of the units. With the tool I was able to just cut rectangles and squares and make the block without any triangles. It worked very well and my block turned out good. The ruler does make 2 units at a time and because I wanted 12 different fabrics in my quilt block just like the pattern I do have enough units to make another block. I am thinking I will make it into a mini to hang on the wall in my sewing room. <p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgQYC0EvLRyQ1aRfVnMATtPE0C7-TNFrUu56x5-6jN6On96NYFTX4iCQhFJ4UsjgObGo4BScG9U6KFGkL4ijsZD1LDlHeS64VrPhnovCUJgmjA2Z07IP0snbK-NOsGBn1600ldXkMZ73m6-Hl7C0NKlyNOqxPUFVUbInf1ezD9g6SfGudMsmuaQQiVN=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgQYC0EvLRyQ1aRfVnMATtPE0C7-TNFrUu56x5-6jN6On96NYFTX4iCQhFJ4UsjgObGo4BScG9U6KFGkL4ijsZD1LDlHeS64VrPhnovCUJgmjA2Z07IP0snbK-NOsGBn1600ldXkMZ73m6-Hl7C0NKlyNOqxPUFVUbInf1ezD9g6SfGudMsmuaQQiVN=w150-h200" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjyxNbQvBF1n9aNNjYsNmjKhRxLJDgSNRU2-BbDerSwO3cFHrW9AAbW0P0TjhVYTzxpPQSi_deNhFzvH-xxAqqn0_9HLggKCu0MEMsKW_BJWdRZP2ikZXROw9sBwYIob1Vw99zTQuLMTcyLrLgrHwkc38LLyqpnLhJZktf4-wKp5q3tjK76y2mmBbxB=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjyxNbQvBF1n9aNNjYsNmjKhRxLJDgSNRU2-BbDerSwO3cFHrW9AAbW0P0TjhVYTzxpPQSi_deNhFzvH-xxAqqn0_9HLggKCu0MEMsKW_BJWdRZP2ikZXROw9sBwYIob1Vw99zTQuLMTcyLrLgrHwkc38LLyqpnLhJZktf4-wKp5q3tjK76y2mmBbxB=w150-h200" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjenxPOZio1wJa8X5VWV0aPJoQN_qtojiiJqknRlGXbOIzzvVNu87zeJhucM0HMA6n2a4uQebU2CrLFCOZYgV5Cy8XUoUHsZ7vnm5HL07_Xqwj9ClLTzaFmA0cIuIGNT0SyxpCTb-Pyy17M6BqQiNogA6VBaJd9gq1gr6D5PxYvnNpc01PAjhUBkT3r=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjenxPOZio1wJa8X5VWV0aPJoQN_qtojiiJqknRlGXbOIzzvVNu87zeJhucM0HMA6n2a4uQebU2CrLFCOZYgV5Cy8XUoUHsZ7vnm5HL07_Xqwj9ClLTzaFmA0cIuIGNT0SyxpCTb-Pyy17M6BqQiNogA6VBaJd9gq1gr6D5PxYvnNpc01PAjhUBkT3r=w150-h200" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">If you follow the pattern instructions it may be helpful when sewing the A triangle onto the D side to sew with D on top so you can see your previous stitches and not cut that little point off of the triangle that is in the center of the unit.

Last week I shared with you a little tutorial on how to make a lanyard. This week I thought I would share with you a few other items that are fun to sew and make wonderful gifts. </p><p>One of our favorites is the Wax and Wool Tote by Noodlehead. I have gifted many of them over the years, especially to my son's Teachers. The pattern calls for wax and wool fabrics but i always use just cotton or if I am feeling fancy I will do cork on the bottom, but cotton works wonderfully. The pattern is all rectangles so it can be cut with just a ruler, rotary cutter and a mat. It goes together really nicely, with a simple front pocket, and a nice slip pocket on the inside. Esther made this one recently and added a little hardware to bling it up some. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjXaOKlVT9jjR3ptJEBPCHMSoaFKZ4EEB5ARj8PQdgt_IQM2jevPwKqUHqsAA0V2uAqjdN5wWiXHlxVhPowd2iiQwWCb_LHhi3L9GpWBWD7KA6yb43K8gLH88nX0AL1R8bjSVm37qcVmb7sHneEXtv1yE1eFRee2izHncxb7jkYY1RrcD-ETnYJlbCR=s3638" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3638" data-original-width="3021" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjXaOKlVT9jjR3ptJEBPCHMSoaFKZ4EEB5ARj8PQdgt_IQM2jevPwKqUHqsAA0V2uAqjdN5wWiXHlxVhPowd2iiQwWCb_LHhi3L9GpWBWD7KA6yb43K8gLH88nX0AL1R8bjSVm37qcVmb7sHneEXtv1yE1eFRee2izHncxb7jkYY1RrcD-ETnYJlbCR=w166-h200" width="166" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>This little bag is really fun to make for kids and adults.

Instead she wraps everyone's gifts in a pillowcase. They make a great gift by themselves and are a fantastic alternative to the gift wrap. They are easy to make and there are many many tutorials online for different methods on how to make them. Another fun idea is to spend a day or an afternoon making them with your kids or grandkids. <div>Have you made any of these items for gifts before?</div><div>After my vacation I will share a tutorial for a fun little hot pad that is quick to make and so useful in the kitchen. </div><div>Next week is the 10th month in our Bonnie and Camille Quilt Bee.

I thought for this one I would write up a little tutorial on how to make one. </p><p>To make a lanyard you will need a swivel hook, a strip of fabric and coordinating thread. You will see the stitches on the top and bottom, so don't forget to change your bobbin thread as well. When making several different lanyards I choose a thread that matches them all so I don't have to load up so many bobbins. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhDUHLkDpqPq9Xh6D3Rrr8X03t1yUoGpxJDtQebpaeIz2Gcm4gRTHbAr3AkG0FcO4hq2Y2sPZTx9sLhFqEx2EDr3CM6gQRkcaTY6zD7fRmfDhPLOFwZP9m8D25m1ZQDHsjwYMCQajYa6gee_SCAX6EifxYadVQDGEZin7T2xqu0J41vtcOCoZ02BRT2=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhDUHLkDpqPq9Xh6D3Rrr8X03t1yUoGpxJDtQebpaeIz2Gcm4gRTHbAr3AkG0FcO4hq2Y2sPZTx9sLhFqEx2EDr3CM6gQRkcaTY6zD7fRmfDhPLOFwZP9m8D25m1ZQDHsjwYMCQajYa6gee_SCAX6EifxYadVQDGEZin7T2xqu0J41vtcOCoZ02BRT2=w150-h200" width="150" /></a></div><p></p><p>Swivel Hooks come in a variety of sizes and colors. I personally like the 3/4" size the best. 1" hooks work well too but are a little larger for wearing around your neck. I would not go bigger than 1". I also use the 1/2" size especially when making them to wear with my masks (it works really well to clip the lanyard onto your mask when doing errands for the day, you never have to worry about dropping your mask or forgetting it in your car) </p><p>When you have chosen your swivel hook size, you can than figure out how wide to cut your strip of fabric. If you do not know what size of hook you have just measure the inside of the flat ring, in the photo below you can see the one I measured is a 1/2" swivel hook. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj0jh2RN8A6NncgzkkZT4OMvYD4iwr1mYgRFSFrZhiR-TbhVqBM-OmFacYPXRCcjxA5z3DOEj8fFcMayGodESmc3xdEv2kXTusXyxI3qQeYTcC8zNwbyA0yaqmejH--UIFqX41p5dvGUuer_2rn9o8Arq62ZeI1kJcSjtJfs1wDpvFjGqOl598PhXwn=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj0jh2RN8A6NncgzkkZT4OMvYD4iwr1mYgRFSFrZhiR-TbhVqBM-OmFacYPXRCcjxA5z3DOEj8fFcMayGodESmc3xdEv2kXTusXyxI3qQeYTcC8zNwbyA0yaqmejH--UIFqX41p5dvGUuer_2rn9o8Arq62ZeI1kJcSjtJfs1wDpvFjGqOl598PhXwn=w150-h200" width="150" /></a></div><p></p><p>Take the size of your swivel hook and multiply it by 4 and that is the width to cut your strip.</p><p>For example a 3/4" hook -- 0.75" x 4 = 3" or for a 1" hook -- 1"x 4= 4" strip. </p><p>I use a full width of fabric and just cut the selvage edges off.

Slide your swivel hook out of the way as needed. Repeat this for both long edges of your fabric. I like to lengthen my stitches a little for this and change my settings from a 2.5 stitch to a 3.0. <p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhFoT1qn8fJ8CUbQNnidrBWYyA2oTJuPL8vmIDBK0IbbMNmkXhmm0fmYnH9DC6axn-asl15ExeZdz5BAtjlrNGtLiB9U5Oq7ft8lyoeZ35HSSF0jCSHqOGOGako3fiO0zmVGQB_dPMdoL_3hRDRKGEQVTjI3lJPAoSoEa1mRchQluGIvfa4eiKcpmF2=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhFoT1qn8fJ8CUbQNnidrBWYyA2oTJuPL8vmIDBK0IbbMNmkXhmm0fmYnH9DC6axn-asl15ExeZdz5BAtjlrNGtLiB9U5Oq7ft8lyoeZ35HSSF0jCSHqOGOGako3fiO0zmVGQB_dPMdoL_3hRDRKGEQVTjI3lJPAoSoEa1mRchQluGIvfa4eiKcpmF2=w150-h200" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiHT2fkxYZAnTKcA7Sw0EYQOZdlVBS4-IRSXzKug0Kd_bRlkxmdhkFGFlYikZGs_9BHspeBS1yHvQsN9S39cDv9c8oHO7UhW4dDUOm1UOiM4It84rHpIKQnibXD-uC-6lSGUdpeM74Dagq8A0qA7lOo2X6Xm01gTkrS0XVrTMYp7f1srFe9sULlKyPL=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiHT2fkxYZAnTKcA7Sw0EYQOZdlVBS4-IRSXzKug0Kd_bRlkxmdhkFGFlYikZGs_9BHspeBS1yHvQsN9S39cDv9c8oHO7UhW4dDUOm1UOiM4It84rHpIKQnibXD-uC-6lSGUdpeM74Dagq8A0qA7lOo2X6Xm01gTkrS0XVrTMYp7f1srFe9sULlKyPL=w150-h200" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>One final step to complete the lanyard. We want to secure the swivel hook in one place to keep it from sliding around. To do this position the swivel hook where you would like it (I usually put it very close to the seam that connects the two short ends of my fabric) and stitch across the fabric to secure it in place. I like to move my needle over to the right to get a little closer to the swivel hook. Sew over it back and forth a couple times so it is nice and secure. <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiw75wU6NkMpRTjD_wlEQnEXVc0kFJeTpVPAtiWEFrSCDbb9STAmQzFvz4YAwNgtLqlrostgHrg4aCVmhqYsoQXritrXvzNnYaWxv5W446qO2AlblQYPTvJP-tymhV9f_ovyvi59cfpZQSt1LODFKwYM_Oowyd71JIvaFip_VMfrWhB1YGjuOqSouYH=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiw75wU6NkMpRTjD_wlEQnEXVc0kFJeTpVPAtiWEFrSCDbb9STAmQzFvz4YAwNgtLqlrostgHrg4aCVmhqYsoQXritrXvzNnYaWxv5W446qO2AlblQYPTvJP-tymhV9f_ovyvi59cfpZQSt1LODFKwYM_Oowyd71JIvaFip_VMfrWhB1YGjuOqSouYH=w150-h200" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ta da! you now have a completed lanyard!

We need to make 2 of this block for our quilt. This one takes only a little bit of a print fabric, so I used a blue that I had very little left of but wanted in the quilt once more and a Black print that is one of my favorite in the bundle to get a little more of the black in the quilt but not be too overpowering. It goes together really well, but if you are unsure about getting it nice and square you can cut your borders for the block a smidge bigger and trim the block to the correct size after pressing. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgZDqQWfIcS-Bzfu8PSgbjOFvswV65TGAbtUkbpjxPn7rv-r-9RQjy0el_VH5TLsGCqdM1ByXLZJ6alJrsa7EOixyXr5_TfqSJXvwYkhbn_dLWaI2ziBWj04Y_V6fC-MRYXjrihCRYGZ73XLaVgdfRa9GcFFM4CiirsKYqBDo8GwUss6--tQWbeiM3l=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgZDqQWfIcS-Bzfu8PSgbjOFvswV65TGAbtUkbpjxPn7rv-r-9RQjy0el_VH5TLsGCqdM1ByXLZJ6alJrsa7EOixyXr5_TfqSJXvwYkhbn_dLWaI2ziBWj04Y_V6fC-MRYXjrihCRYGZ73XLaVgdfRa9GcFFM4CiirsKYqBDo8GwUss6--tQWbeiM3l=w150-h200" width="150" /></a></div><p></p><p>Plaid Block. Again we need to make 2 of this block for our quilt. I chose a main print for each of my two blocks and then chose some accenting prints afterwards. I love how different the two blocks look from each other with different fabric and the darker colors in different spots. This block goes together nice as well, just be careful to gently press those strip sets so you don't stretch your fabrics at all.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgwCjC4vM6t86eCfO0JK--iRN-d_6OfN3XUhrhnS3ot0S9gvWcqIwFz7aHzPumu3YqzsdXzJn1MC2Y7v715ZCl7CBK-5DU_-GSjtN_mQ7gt3IwicfgkfoTuDd39dXH-9Th6QTMEGtGMjLdil4APki-tCVM7kW3UiEPgK1a4ESUfgtdLyeHiu1z0DNKo=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgwCjC4vM6t86eCfO0JK--iRN-d_6OfN3XUhrhnS3ot0S9gvWcqIwFz7aHzPumu3YqzsdXzJn1MC2Y7v715ZCl7CBK-5DU_-GSjtN_mQ7gt3IwicfgkfoTuDd39dXH-9Th6QTMEGtGMjLdil4APki-tCVM7kW3UiEPgK1a4ESUfgtdLyeHiu1z0DNKo=w150-h200" width="150" /></a></div><p></p><p>We only have 6 left blocks left to make once these are done, and I am really wanting to get mine finished.

The colors are gorgeous and the temperatures are wonderful. I love fall and I really love to decorate my house for the season as well. Today I thought I would share with you some fall projects to inspire you and I wonder do you decorate for the autumn season at all?</p><p>Last year I made this fun little runner and matching pillow. The pattern is called Pumpkins by Cluck Cluck Sew and I just made one block for the pillow and 5 for the runner. I used fabric from Summer Sweet by Sherri and Chelsi and from Abby Rose by Robin Pickens. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T0zdFxZy4i0/YVJ3oizBk2I/AAAAAAAAbuo/EJU9CymjRrIA2nTxHlpWYECI-US4zp0cgCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210927_192309.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T0zdFxZy4i0/YVJ3oizBk2I/AAAAAAAAbuo/EJU9CymjRrIA2nTxHlpWYECI-US4zp0cgCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210927_192309.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>Esther used the same pattern as I did and made the lap size quilt using Pumpkins and Blossoms by Fig Tree. I love how it turned out and I think it would be so cute draped over a couch or on a blanket ladder. We have Kits in the shop for this one, just <a href="https://www.chickenfeedquilts.com/shop/c/p/Pumpkins-and-Blossoms-Pumpkin-Kit-x58769213.htm" target="_blank">click here.</a> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NXNIpcv_b14/YVJ3olKSL9I/AAAAAAAAbuo/HSDr0K8vncwsMof2NVdeHNikiYfgXGEHwCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210915_123638.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NXNIpcv_b14/YVJ3olKSL9I/AAAAAAAAbuo/HSDr0K8vncwsMof2NVdeHNikiYfgXGEHwCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210915_123638.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Last year Esther made this really fun quilt called Vintage Fall by Confessions of a Homeschooler.

Esther is working on a really fun Jelly Roll Quilt from the book On a Roll Again with it right now and we are planning to put kits together for it as well. This is a photo from the book as Esther's was not available for me to get a photo of today. But hers is the same as this. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A-yMzc4uTyY/YVJwpLtGq6I/AAAAAAAAbuQ/7FPLSvMhBNwAtV8O8d22nVIzDJI17m9aACLcBGAsYHQ/s650/B1569_14.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="650" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A-yMzc4uTyY/YVJwpLtGq6I/AAAAAAAAbuQ/7FPLSvMhBNwAtV8O8d22nVIzDJI17m9aACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/B1569_14.jpg" width="246" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Just today my Husband said I needed to make some small seasonal quilts for our porch, and so I will be browsing for some mini quilt ideas myself, because when your husband tells you to make a new quilt you definitely jump on that one quick. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Have a great week!<div>Kayla<br /><p><br /></p></div>Kaylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05977428477407156717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657037479017009589.post-35347153944263222612021-09-21T12:36:00.003-07:002021-09-21T12:36:23.532-07:00Shop Updates<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Due to the lastest set of restrictions that have been put in place there are a few things that have changed for our shop. </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: center;">Limited Capacity</h3><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #969696; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px auto; text-align: center; width: 649.258px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;">As a retail shop we are allowed to remain open to the public for instore shopping. </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;">However we are once again asked to limit the number of customers in our shop at one to time to 1/3 of fire code. </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;">We have chosen to go a little lower than 1/3 just as we have in the past to allow for sufficient room to social distance. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;">We would like a maximum of 8 customers in the shop at one time.

We have reached Month 8 and we need to make a total of 3 blocks this time. They go together pretty quickly, I did all 3 of mine in a couple hours this past Saturday morning. </p><p>We need to make the Home Again Block on page 110, the Lighthearted Block on page 112 and the Neighborhood Block on page 114. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8jEKNll4bLY/YT-7lPOZkbI/AAAAAAAAbYA/Sql3sbNVLIs0Bcz255MCQFN7QQ_c9VQaQCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210913_142953.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8jEKNll4bLY/YT-7lPOZkbI/AAAAAAAAbYA/Sql3sbNVLIs0Bcz255MCQFN7QQ_c9VQaQCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210913_142953.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Home Again. I love house blocks so I was thrilled that there was one in this quilt. I have a couple tips for you for this block. </p><p>First if using directional fabric for the windows, be sure to pay attention when cutting so that they all go the same way when in the block. O and Q should both be the same height when cutting, and the widths will be different. </p><p>When I have a lot of piecing in a section and have to add borders at the end I like to wait to cut those until I have the center done, than I can adjust the borders if needed. In this block you may want to cut your "B" pieces a little wider than mentioned, and than after you sew them onto the center section, trim the block to the correct size than add the roof part. This will ensure you don't need to stretch anything. </p><p>When making the shrubs pay careful attention to what edges you place the little squares and double check before adding the next fabrics that you have them oriented the right way. Otherwise you may end up with some upside down bushes outside your home. </p><p>I actually ended up making this block twice. I chose some fairly muted colors for some of my sections the first time and was not happy with the way it turned out, so I went much brighter the second time. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F6mh9zov2oc/YT-665TCbiI/AAAAAAAAbXw/1iRQf7tFge49aXTLYAXEDyGtqdyN97rCgCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210911_122514.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F6mh9zov2oc/YT-665TCbiI/AAAAAAAAbXw/1iRQf7tFge49aXTLYAXEDyGtqdyN97rCgCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210911_122514.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">First attempt, that I didn't even finish all the way, a little dull compared to the other blocks I have been making<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dMYl9hihwHM/YT-7QTPDJYI/AAAAAAAAbX4/rXM7Y7Oh3t428tm5VHYlvw7FE8NqMT6CgCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210913_142927.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dMYl9hihwHM/YT-7QTPDJYI/AAAAAAAAbX4/rXM7Y7Oh3t428tm5VHYlvw7FE8NqMT6CgCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210913_142927.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></td></tr></tbody></table></p><p>Lighthearted Block. Heart Blocks are another of my favorites to make, so this was a fun month for me. And this heart was really quick to make. </p><p>6 different prints are needed, and I was able to make that work with my Red Fabric so that is the color I chose. One of my pieces was actually a few inches shorter than it was supposed to be, but because of how the block was constructed I was able to make it work anyways. I just used it as my bottom strip and centered it with the fabric above it. </p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QMMeFAQmptU/YT-666q93zI/AAAAAAAAbXw/H9p70ZWhoqse-GUvsl2aIrr_7lHty7S2ACPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210911_131924.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QMMeFAQmptU/YT-666q93zI/AAAAAAAAbXw/H9p70ZWhoqse-GUvsl2aIrr_7lHty7S2ACPcBGAsYHg/w150-h200/20210911_131924.jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JMcHB1f6bFk/YT-66-LpDGI/AAAAAAAAbXw/TiaFunOcQTQrdn1NgOGp-AfpV4u-mxETgCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210913_142916.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JMcHB1f6bFk/YT-66-LpDGI/AAAAAAAAbXw/TiaFunOcQTQrdn1NgOGp-AfpV4u-mxETgCPcBGAsYHg/w150-h200/20210913_142916.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Neighborhood Block.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For this block be sure to pay attention to the first step when sewing. You need to sew on the drawn line to make the HST. This is different than how we have done the others in this pattern. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>Other than that it's just a bunch of Flip and Stitch Corners and some assembly of the units to make the block. I suggest laying out all the units before sewing them together so that you get the colors arranged how you want them. I also do not like pressing seams open so I will post a picture of how I pressed my seams so they all nest. It is just personal preference, and I use a really hot iron and don't like burning my fingertips. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cIGTnORqTdg/YT-8_On-4gI/AAAAAAAAbYQ/EU6fnnMeACg4bpFYECp-bIMYxpqK8GXKwCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210913_150353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cIGTnORqTdg/YT-8_On-4gI/AAAAAAAAbYQ/EU6fnnMeACg4bpFYECp-bIMYxpqK8GXKwCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210913_150353.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zLefBBeRbrw/YT-8_IXJRSI/AAAAAAAAbYQ/-eSOgG_ckVIHaMiCmb2-9Ml144NZM9z5ACPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210913_142859.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zLefBBeRbrw/YT-8_IXJRSI/AAAAAAAAbYQ/-eSOgG_ckVIHaMiCmb2-9Ml144NZM9z5ACPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210913_142859.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">That is it for this month.

I both like and dislike the start of a new school season, I like getting back into a normal routine but I do miss having my kids home with me, just not enough to start Homeschooling ;)</p><p>I will say that I do usually find myself in a mood to get organized. Going through all those cupboards that get neglected over Summer and deep cleaning everything now that there is fewer distractions always feels so refreshing. </p><p>It also carries over to my quilting room. I like to go through all the projects that are sitting on the shelves or in the closet and take note of how far along they are and what they need to be completed, am I done just a few blocks, does it need borders, is it ready for quilting, that kind of thing. I will stack them up with the ones I want to or need to finish first on top and the least important down at the bottom. I also like to make lists, so I will write a little note about each project so that at a quick glance I know where I am at on each one. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w0NmYbz1_Co/YS2GAlvQVhI/AAAAAAAAbBk/GAPjiR_KFakfRbwlvuMb1c6E6bzv7f_GQCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210824_163143.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w0NmYbz1_Co/YS2GAlvQVhI/AAAAAAAAbBk/GAPjiR_KFakfRbwlvuMb1c6E6bzv7f_GQCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210824_163143.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>I also get all my notions organized again, putting each of them away properly and making sure they are still in good condition. I double check my rulers and cutting mat to see if any need replacing. I check how many fresh blades and needles I have on hand or if I should remember to get them the next time I am at the quilt shop. I take note of my Pressing Spray and if my bottle is low I will add that to my shopping list to. <p></p><p>Not only do I like to go through the projects that I have on the go, I also like to look back at the list I made at the beginning of the year and see if there are any bucket list projects for the year that I have completed yet. With September right around the corner there is still a little time left in the year to get one or more of those done too. I may also look over at some other things I had hoped to accomplish and see how I am doing on those, for example have I spent any time learning a new technique, have I been better at staying on track on a Quilt Along, how have I been doing at using up some of my stash. </p><p>One last thing I like to do at this time of year is start thinking about what I would like to do for Christmas Gifts. I usually make something for my Boys School Teachers, so I will start coming up with ideas for that, as well as gift ideas for friends and family. These last 4 months of the year can go by really quickly, so I like to at least have an idea of what I will be making and about how long each will take to make. Tote bags for example go together pretty quickly and I just need a couple evenings, but if I decide to make table runners, that is a little more time consuming when you factor in the quilting and binding. And quilts is another level on top of that yet. Getting prepared now is definitely worth it in the long run. </p><p>Do you feel ready for a fresh start at the end of Summer?<br /></p><p>Kayla</p>Kaylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05977428477407156717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657037479017009589.post-71747482164419030522021-08-23T13:37:00.000-07:002021-08-23T13:37:17.353-07:00New Samples <p style="text-align: center;"> Happy Monday. I am back from our family camping trip. It was cold for most of the trip but it was great to spend a week with my husband, boys and extended family members. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Today I want to share with you some of the new samples that we have hanging in the shop. Esther, Carrie and I have all finished up several projects in the last few weeks and there are several new quilts hanging on our walls which means there are also plenty of new kits available as well. Clicking on any of the photos will take you directly to the kit on our website. </p><p style="text-align: center;">We have a few new Fig Tree samples in the shop. Esther stitched up this one using Catalina and the pattern Chintz. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chickenfeedquilts.com/shop/c/p/Chintz-Kit---Catalina-x58443026.htm" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aMvoPonxMQ0/YSPOt36IL7I/AAAAAAAAa2Q/Nedp7imgQx4zWz0OXxNjHaRdYW1guj1hQCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210810_121301.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I made this quilt using Strawberries and Rhubarb and the pattern is called Sweet Pea by The Pattern Basket. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chickenfeedquilts.com/shop/c/p/Strawberries-and-Rhubarb---Sweet-Pea-Kit-x58338567.htm" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mSMJ6J1A0O0/YSPPHtENLwI/AAAAAAAAa2Y/wBkvzruqNDYNCrG0-O2V9Rxf3Mg0uEd2wCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210727_093234.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Esther is working on a Pumpkin quilt using Pumpkins and Blossoms and I believe it just needs to be quilted and bound and than it will be in the shop as well.

This collection is a very classy Christmas collection, having the reds and greens. I love the large panel that they have with this collection that looks to have a pieced border around it, but the blocks are actually just printed on the panel. This would make a super fast Christmas gift for a friend, the panel just needs to be quilted and bound. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QJQ0TX_O4xs/YRqSEuGUQlI/AAAAAAAAaq0/Y_VwDgz5Cmgob1378u7IKv_Oog-R2oO3ACLcBGAsYHQ/s880/peaceonearth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="880" data-original-width="660" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QJQ0TX_O4xs/YRqSEuGUQlI/AAAAAAAAaq0/Y_VwDgz5Cmgob1378u7IKv_Oog-R2oO3ACLcBGAsYHQ/w150-h200/peaceonearth.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-knjU1VPp1Vw/YRqSGPbjxhI/AAAAAAAAaq4/rh0udpPGGSgAxLdvshRyLDeyEdLFwtauACLcBGAsYHQ/s937/christmasmorningyardage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="937" data-original-width="703" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-knjU1VPp1Vw/YRqSGPbjxhI/AAAAAAAAaq4/rh0udpPGGSgAxLdvshRyLDeyEdLFwtauACLcBGAsYHQ/w150-h200/christmasmorningyardage.jpg" width="150" /></a></div></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We also have a few more Christmas collections in early precuts. so keep checking that 'Early Release Precut' tab on the website.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We have precuts from Hustle and Bustle from Basic Grey and the yardage should be in the shop soon. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nrVuJQ8zG00/YRqTdxIRm_I/AAAAAAAAarU/bfTiM_21s_oPtqWqSWVqe7mCihydOyb9ACPcBGAsYHg/s4032/IMG_20210803_134150.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nrVuJQ8zG00/YRqTdxIRm_I/AAAAAAAAarU/bfTiM_21s_oPtqWqSWVqe7mCihydOyb9ACPcBGAsYHg/w150-h200/IMG_20210803_134150.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And we also have early precuts from Home Sweet Holidays by Deb Strain. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_R6wza8T3_8/YRqT8rk4SfI/AAAAAAAAarc/oHRFKIa4th4r8uQ6voZ-ebnpNTeA1-gLQCLcBGAsYHQ/s880/IMG_5584.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="880" data-original-width="660" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_R6wza8T3_8/YRqT8rk4SfI/AAAAAAAAarc/oHRFKIa4th4r8uQ6voZ-ebnpNTeA1-gLQCLcBGAsYHQ/w150-h200/IMG_5584.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All these collections are so much more amazing in person, so be sure to stop in the store to check them out, or check our website to get a better look at all the individual lines. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><br /></p>Kaylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05977428477407156717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657037479017009589.post-3283857028655501712021-08-09T17:57:00.000-07:002021-08-09T17:57:24.811-07:00The Bonnie and Camille Quilt Bee: Month 7<p> Welcome to another month of our Bonnie and Camille Quilt Bee. While last month we had it quite easy with just 3 simple blocks all in the same pattern this month we have a little more work ahead of us. </p><p>We need to make 4 different blocks, and they all vary in size which is fun. </p><p>We need to make Flutter on page 104, Friendship Star on page 105, Good Times on page 106 and Happy Day on page 108. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-okjF1mjizHc/YRHOWPQB_cI/AAAAAAAAaho/oWe2CJnb5g4zHTS1db16wfBGWeysD7hugCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210809_184527.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-okjF1mjizHc/YRHOWPQB_cI/AAAAAAAAaho/oWe2CJnb5g4zHTS1db16wfBGWeysD7hugCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210809_184527.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>We haven't made many half square triangles yet during this quilt along, but this month there are some in every block. I used my 4-in-1 Half Square Triangle Ruler from Creative Grids to trim my units to the correct size each time. </p><p>First up Flutter. This one came together fairly quick. I chose a print that I hadn't used much of yet. It only takes one print and the background so choosing the fabric didn't take as long as it normally does. </p><p>As mentioned above I used the 4-in-1 ruler to trim the Half Square Triangle Units to the correct size. For this block I made them as directed, pressed to the dark, and than trimmed all 4 sides of the unit, using the guide lines on the ruler. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aZ6lvjrjR_w/YRHNiY_aQ9I/AAAAAAAAafw/lxTC9E2T2G0bRROL73Iq9nvYWZ_V3PTWwCPcBGAsYHg/s1564/IMG_20210809_182414.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1564" data-original-width="1564" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aZ6lvjrjR_w/YRHNiY_aQ9I/AAAAAAAAafw/lxTC9E2T2G0bRROL73Iq9nvYWZ_V3PTWwCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210809_182414.jpg" width="320" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b1KxUD2ROjA/YRHNnwukoWI/AAAAAAAAagE/q2QqSLRMzVwDRIxf2dvji9JpnfanxYDNACPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210809_184400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b1KxUD2ROjA/YRHNnwukoWI/AAAAAAAAagE/q2QqSLRMzVwDRIxf2dvji9JpnfanxYDNACPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210809_184400.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /></div><br /><p></p><p>Friendship Star. I love making Friendship Star blocks, they are definitely in the top 10 of my favorite blocks to make. I again used the 4-in-1 ruler to trim up my HST units, than assembled the block as directed. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gfPgA5AeTKI/YRHNtgjLK_I/AAAAAAAAagc/KoRRTcV64qcC_sZBTrEsMgpA_IvK10QSwCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210809_184408.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gfPgA5AeTKI/YRHNtgjLK_I/AAAAAAAAagc/KoRRTcV64qcC_sZBTrEsMgpA_IvK10QSwCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210809_184408.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>I like how for all the HST units the pattern instructs us to oversize the units to allow for trimming room, it definitely helps me with accuracy and getting nice points. </p><p>Good Times. This block is a little more work. It is a large block and there is quite a few Half Square Triangles to make. </p><p>I screwed up when making my block and had one HST facing the wrong direction in each Corner Unit. It was probably because I was making this block at 10:30 on a Saturday Night, needless to say I spent a lot of time unsewing those blocks and than sewing them back together correctly. Be sure to watch the orientation of each HST to avoid making the same mistake as I did. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cv0lDO0evoI/YRHN0bGck9I/AAAAAAAAago/bvqx9BodpZMA-y8tDr4dNsdpJdKmePB0gCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210807_224215.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cv0lDO0evoI/YRHN0bGck9I/AAAAAAAAago/bvqx9BodpZMA-y8tDr4dNsdpJdKmePB0gCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210807_224215.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">OOPS!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p><p>Another tip is to choose fabric that is not directional, I spent a lot of time making sure my prints would go in the same direction throughout the block, and it would have been a lot quicker to use a print that was not directional. Now if you really want to use a directional print and want all your pieces going the same way, mark your blocks as shown in the photo below. Than make the Half Square Triangles as directed, lay them out as shown on the top of page 107 and see what way you need your last unit to go than mark that block and sew it. I gave mine a good finger press so I wouldn't mess it up. (Don't sew your blocks as mine are pictured because that is where I made a mistake, the directional prints are correct, but my floral should be spun 180 degrees)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9NnaIFkl3rM/YRHOBknSEfI/AAAAAAAAag8/t9Cb7qnOLu0iZIGH0VyC02ilti6Pd_VyQCPcBGAsYHg/s1564/IMG_20210809_184059.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1564" data-original-width="1564" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9NnaIFkl3rM/YRHOBknSEfI/AAAAAAAAag8/t9Cb7qnOLu0iZIGH0VyC02ilti6Pd_VyQCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210809_184059.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ExofjTNXreQ/YRHOBsa-IqI/AAAAAAAAag8/G2EODNx9VJcQbDP756Sxa_A3AdEAQytpwCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210807_210652.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ExofjTNXreQ/YRHOBsa-IqI/AAAAAAAAag8/G2EODNx9VJcQbDP756Sxa_A3AdEAQytpwCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210807_210652.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>I sewed my four HSTs together into corner units but than assembled the block in rows rather than quadrants, I find it a little easier to press it flat this way. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HaaemdoW8es/YRHN8OGTHhI/AAAAAAAAagw/9ZeCq3QLPXQc0SrOHYZcnHn4kKGw4LsKgCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210809_174100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HaaemdoW8es/YRHN8OGTHhI/AAAAAAAAagw/9ZeCq3QLPXQc0SrOHYZcnHn4kKGw4LsKgCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210809_174100.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7ZVVXRSfrs8/YRHON4_S2YI/AAAAAAAAahU/2QPcOhyVvqg-J-qCx9gUGE3MUnaYB2uCACPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210809_184330.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7ZVVXRSfrs8/YRHON4_S2YI/AAAAAAAAahU/2QPcOhyVvqg-J-qCx9gUGE3MUnaYB2uCACPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210809_184330.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Happy Day. This block was fairly quick to make, just a few Half Square Triangles and nice big squares. For this block I trimmed my HSTs before pressing them. It is a little quicker this way, and you just need to line up the correct line on your seam. This block I assembled in rows as well, and I just pressed each row in an alternate direction so each of my seams nested nicely. <a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0cRrjZav9AM/YRHOJAa0QyI/AAAAAAAAahM/IXxbPCdac74mpi-Y2nopXHW8RbOC4h8jwCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210809_173157.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0cRrjZav9AM/YRHOJAa0QyI/AAAAAAAAahM/IXxbPCdac74mpi-Y2nopXHW8RbOC4h8jwCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210809_173157.jpg" width="240" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vlFqxHwUUEs/YRHOJMsQUeI/AAAAAAAAahM/DKBux1p5QqQGzB730JER14OvoTAGFrzeACPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210809_184351.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vlFqxHwUUEs/YRHOJMsQUeI/AAAAAAAAahM/DKBux1p5QqQGzB730JER14OvoTAGFrzeACPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210809_184351.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br /><br /></p><p>Have fun making your blocks, and enjoy the rest of Summer. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GyXLXo6EgyU/YRHOR1uqUOI/AAAAAAAAahc/RRdYNZ71wlgQVrG0NqkG_zXbkZEagUz7QCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210809_184824.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GyXLXo6EgyU/YRHOR1uqUOI/AAAAAAAAahc/RRdYNZ71wlgQVrG0NqkG_zXbkZEagUz7QCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210809_184824.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Kayla</p><p><br /></p>Kaylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05977428477407156717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657037479017009589.post-58850863696914034782021-08-05T16:01:00.002-07:002021-08-05T16:01:34.832-07:00Garden Sampler BOM: Block 8<p style="text-align: center;"> It is August already!! I am sitting here trying to decide if I'm happy with how fast this summer is going or not.

I was worried I wasn't going to get my block done with all the waterskiing and wedding planning, but I carved out some time today to make it. </p><p style="text-align: center;">This block is pretty simple, just a couple flip and stitches and a nine-patch assembly and it is finished. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Below are my cut and labeled pieces. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k0Jf3YWQFck/YQxr5JNip_I/AAAAAAAAabY/Dwr4ooOj2FUBOq2l-C_eDl342t_gpSu_gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1488/block8%2Bpieces.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1488" data-original-width="1116" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k0Jf3YWQFck/YQxr5JNip_I/AAAAAAAAabY/Dwr4ooOj2FUBOq2l-C_eDl342t_gpSu_gCLcBGAsYHQ/w150-h200/block8%2Bpieces.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I just cut and labeled as the book said. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now that we are this far, I am super glad that I cut a sample of my fabrics as I used them and put them with the coordinating fabric chart at the beginning of the book, it makes pulling and cutting my fabrics each month so much easier. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the flip and stitch corners I used my Diagonal Seam Tape from CluckCluckSew.

Also in the blocks are dozens of tips to help you get beautiful accurate blocks. There is currently a sew along happening with the book and you can find all the <a href="https://my.modafabrics.com/inspiration-resources/sampler-spree-qal-week-1" target="_blank">details here</a>. The organizers are making a set of blocks each week in a different color way, making it a great quilt along to bust up that stash. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chickenfeedquilts.com/shop/c/p/Sampler-Spree-x58406397.htm" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qABkcmICCR0/YP9PoIZsnJI/AAAAAAAAaQ4/MhonyotaTgEhfmVILg1iPlVL9mb97cTdwCPcBGAsYHg/s320/20210622_145219.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>On A Roll Again is from the Moda All Stars Collection and features 14 different patterns that all utilize Jelly Rolls.

If it has 3 or more patterns I will definitely purchase it, as buying 3 separate patterns would be more expensive than a whole book full. All 3 of these books that I just shared meet the criteria for sure! </p><p>We have all 3 books available in the shop, quantities are limited but we do have more on order. Clicking on the photo of the book will take you to it on our website, </p><p>Have a great week. There will be no blog post on Monday as it is a Holiday. </p><p>Kayla</p>Kaylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05977428477407156717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657037479017009589.post-1437281382267498132021-07-19T12:54:00.000-07:002021-07-19T12:54:21.725-07:00Our Current Projects<p> Happy Monday. </p><p>Today I wanted to share with you some of the projects that we are currently working on, what we can't wait to start, and a recent finish from each of us. Summer has been busy for all of us but we are still making a little bit of time for quilting. </p><p>Carrie recently finished up this beautiful quilt using Ava Kate by Carina Gardner for Riley Blake. There is some yardage left in the shop and one kit left in store that will make a quilt similar to the one Carrie made (she decided to not put her blocks on point as they are in the pattern)</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xJcc2Br1y3k/YPXSyRuuxeI/AAAAAAAAaGQ/5lf98V1-3jYkpIUb1MkOHnVr-k5_jUlwQCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210712_115549.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xJcc2Br1y3k/YPXSyRuuxeI/AAAAAAAAaGQ/5lf98V1-3jYkpIUb1MkOHnVr-k5_jUlwQCPcBGAsYHg/w150-h200/20210712_115549.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>She is currently working on a really fun quilt with Open Heart by Maureen Cracknell for Art Gallery Fabrics.

We have reached the halfway mark in our Bonnie and Camille Quilt Bee, which also means it is time to pick a halfway point prize winner. I will announce the prize winner at the end of this post so you will have to keep on reading to get there ;) First we have to go over the blocks we need to make this month. </p><p>This month we are making the Evening Star Block and the instructions can be found on page 103 of our pattern book. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7Q5DO3_bR9k/YOyKdYPpxBI/AAAAAAAAZ7s/F6jwjB73-tstjBh6GDYI72EWRUHohwg9ACPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210712_104533.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7Q5DO3_bR9k/YOyKdYPpxBI/AAAAAAAAZ7s/F6jwjB73-tstjBh6GDYI72EWRUHohwg9ACPcBGAsYHg/w150-h200/20210712_104533.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>We need to make 4 of the block and that is all for this month, and I for one was thankful about that as my calendar for the past couple weeks, and the next few weeks got very full and my quilting time has. decreased somewhat.</p><p>The Evening Star block goes together the same was as the Eight Point Star Block that we made last month, all that is different is we are switching the placement of the print and background. </p><p>So once again I used my Ultimate Flying Geese Ruler from Creative Grids to make the Flying Geese sections of the block. </p><p>This time around I tried to use bolder colors for my blocks, whereas in the Eight Point Star Blocks I used some of the softer prints. </p><p>If you click here you can see how I made the Eight Point Star blocks. </p><p>Now for the Prize Winner. Congratulations to Arlene S you are the winner of our Halfway Prize. You have won a prize pack containing a Chicken Feed Quilts Water Bottle, one of our organizational binders and a Charm Pack of Sunday Stroll. I will contact you directly to arrange pick up of your prize. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-92SUELD9LK0/YOyKYyv5CwI/AAAAAAAAZ7o/LKzJz7Tw8F4L_shNmNjUaW4voFcCnQX5QCPcBGAsYHg/s2048/IMG-20210712-WA0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-92SUELD9LK0/YOyKYyv5CwI/AAAAAAAAZ7o/LKzJz7Tw8F4L_shNmNjUaW4voFcCnQX5QCPcBGAsYHg/w150-h200/IMG-20210712-WA0001.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Keep sending me the photos of your projects each month as there will be another prize at the end of your quilt along. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iS1b1fNhX9I/YOyKhzvJm7I/AAAAAAAAZ7w/Lf18SKZB4PY2DQKf1Upv81-XiqHhhX5pACPcBGAsYHg/s4032/20210712_105628.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iS1b1fNhX9I/YOyKhzvJm7I/AAAAAAAAZ7w/Lf18SKZB4PY2DQKf1Upv81-XiqHhhX5pACPcBGAsYHg/w150-h200/20210712_105628.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Have a great week, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Kayla</div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p>Kaylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05977428477407156717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657037479017009589.post-10943929194576704682021-07-08T15:11:00.003-07:002021-07-08T15:11:39.458-07:00Garden Sampler BOM: Month 7<p style="text-align: center;"> It is the beginning of another month! This year has been going by way to fast, and June seemed to slip away from me. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I quickly sewed up my block for this month this morning, remembering I had to blog about it this afternoon. It was a good thing this block was not too difficult of time consuming. It is just a few flip and stitches, with the partial seam around the center square again.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I really like to chain piece, so I chain pieced all my flip and stitch corners, and just used my diagonal seam tape to make sure i was sewing straight through the middle. By chain piecing I could almost sew all the flip and stitches without trimming and ironing except for one unit, where the flip and stitches intersect to create a point in the block. <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
