You can stop waiting ⏱️, because it's finally You can stop waiting ⏱️, because it's finally here! Day 1 of the @fatquartershop 2021 Serendipity Quilt Along. ✂️ This is Fat Quarter Shop's 8th annual charity quilt along, benefiting Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas. 🧵 See all the details on my blog! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #SerendipityQAL #fatquartershop #modafabrics #showmethemoda #quilt #quilter #quilting #quiltersofinstagram #makersgonnamake #quiltersgonnaquilt #coreyyoder #corianderquilts #springbrookfabrics #fqsfun⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #coreyyoderfabric⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #serendipity #springbrook #beefabric #springbrookfabric #makeawishcentralandsouthtexas #bumblebeefabric #charityquilt #quiltalong2021 #foundationpaper #quiltingismytherapy
Today launched the 9th Annual Charity Quilt Along Today launched the 9th Annual Charity Quilt Along from @fatquartershop, and the first block release, Beloved, is now available. Folks, every year I say they can't make a prettier quilt than the last, and they prove me wrong every time. If this is your first time hearing about the Charity QAL, a few details: ~ the goal is $100,000 in donations towards Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas ~ each donation gets us closer to the goal of granting 10 (TEN!!!) wishes ~ for each milestone goal ($40,000, $60,000, $80,000, and $100,000), FQS will celebrate by releasing extra finishing patterns you can use to finish your blocks and post it on the Heartfelt Quilt Along page. And guess what? The first milestone, $40,000, has already been reached! FQS has an adorable table runner pattern available that uses these gorgeous Beloved blocks. There's so much more to know, so head to @fatquartershop to get the links for the quilt along as well as the Heartfelt Stitch Along. I've got my needles threaded and stitching away, so more to share on that soon. #FatQuarterShop #Quilt #Quilting #Fabric #QuiltingFabric #ShowMeTheModa #ModaFabrics #MadeWithModa #HeartfeltQAL #HeartfeltQuilt #CharityQuilt #QAL

Don't ever stop thinking about what is truly worth Don't ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise. ~ Phillippians 4:8 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm not sure about you, but July zipped by in a blur of activity, and I find it hard to believe that pumpkin spice lattes are just around the corner. I've spent so much time sewing the past month, there wasn't much to spare for the computer. Today, I decided to give the sewing machine a break and play some catching up on line. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've had several people asking about the Pineapple quilt, and I finally got brave and quilted it this week. That's saying something, since the borders have been on it and it's been loaded on my #handiquilter for two weeks. I had no idea how to quilt it but I finally just did it, since I had two quilts waiting behind it to be quilted (one of those also done as of yesterday)! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I still want to get the binding on it before the big reveal, lol, but you can see a tiny peak of it in this pic. Don't judge my crooked quilting lines. I did the entire thing with a ruler, my first time using one. After that many rows of straight line quilting with a ruler, I'm feeling pretty comfortable holding one now. As soon as I finish the binding, I'm scheduling an appointment for a really long massage!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #monthlymarker #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #quiltsofinstagram #straightlinequilting #doitscared
Happy May Day! I thought it would be fun to add a Happy May Day! I thought it would be fun to add a few extra pictures of "behind the scenes" when trying to photograph with sweet Pepper around. Swipe through the photos and you'll see! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😸😸😸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today on my blog I've got the Economy Block, #7 of the @fatquartershop Threadology Quilt Along!. This is a favorite old block with me, although in my head I'm still calling it a Square in a Square (in a Square)! Love it! Folks, do you realize we're almost done with this quilt????! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #makeawish #threadologyquiltalong #littlesnippetsfabric #bonnieandcamillefabric #bonnieandcamille #cottonway #thimbleblossoms #showmethemoda #modafabrics #fabric #fabrics #modalove #fatquartershop #fqs #fqsfun #fqs #sewing #sewingproject #sew #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #Quiltsofinstagram #makesomething #creativehappylife
Happy June 1st! 🌺 I can't even believe I'm sayi Happy June 1st! 🌺 I can't even believe I'm saying that. I feel like I've taken social distancing to an all time high, but I figure with a new month, it's time to get back into the world again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To start out strong, today I'm showing off my @fatquartershop Bloomtopia Quilt Along blocks. ✂️ We're nearly done, and this is release #9. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These blocks were a blast to make and even used a template! 🔺 Read more about it on my blog. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #outofthebluequilts #bloomtopiaquiltalong #bloomtopia #fqscharityqal #fqscharityquiltalong #fqscharity #fqsfun #quiltalong #showmethemoda #modafabrics #modalove #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #quiltsofinstagram #halfsquaretriangle
Happy #NationalCatDay !! Happy #NationalCatDay !!
Happy Monday! ☀️ The sun is shining and I'm re Happy Monday! ☀️ The sun is shining and I'm ready to share my @fatquartershop Bloomtopia Quilt Along Richmond Block. ✂️ This is release #10 and the final block!! I can't believe we're ready to start assembling and finishing next. The Richmond Block is a simple construction of 4-patch and half square triangle units. I fudged a little on the pattern (as usual) and chose to do some strip-piecing, cutting and assembly for my 4-patch blocks. I show how I did that on my blog, so check it out! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #outofthebluequilts #bloomtopiaquiltalong #bloomtopia #fqscharityqal #fqscharityquiltalong #fqscharity #fqsfun #quiltalong #showmethemoda #modafabrics #modalove #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #quiltsofinstagram
Brrrr! It's cold in Kansas today, and we even had Brrrr! It's cold in Kansas today, and we even had some big snowflakes ❄️❄️❄️ earlier! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐱 {These Broken Di7she (this typo is courtesy of the cat suddenly walking across the keyboard. Let's try again...} 🐱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I was saying, these Broken Dishes quilt blocks will warm your heart, snow or no snow! This is one of the many blocks @fatquartershop has in its Classic & Vintage quilt block series. I wrote in detail about it on my blog today, if you want to drop by for a read. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Instead of one block, I used the @mellysews Blooms and Bobbins fat quarter bundle included in the July Sew Sampler box, stacking all six fat quarters and cutting my blocks at once. Even though I only made six blocks for a future baby quilt, there is enough print fabric left from my fat quarters to make another six blocks, so I plan to make two baby quilts! 👶 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Be sure to check out #fqsquiltalong, #brokendishesquilt, and #classicandvintage to see everyone quilting along. ✂️✂️ #fatquartershop #fqs #fqsfun #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #quiltsofinstagram #bloomsandbobbins #rileyblakefabrics #rileyblakedesigns #sew #sewing #handmade #sewingproject #sewalong #mellysews #sewsamplerbox
I've been reading more and more about #FQSSTITCHMA I've been reading more and more about #FQSSTITCHMAYNIA and the itch finally struck. I wrote a short blog post today about my May-nia plans (link in profile). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyone else joining in? 31 starts in 31 days? Ok, ok....I may be deviating a bit from 31 starts, but I do have grandiose plans. I already placed an order with Fat Quarter Shop today, so I'll have my new design and be ready to start stitching May 1. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you swipe to my second picture, you can see what I've ordered. I know it's an autumn design, but here's the deal. I'm planning to start it. I plan to do something cross stitch related for 31 days in May. That still doesn't guarantee I will finish this by May 31, but I figure SURELY I can have it done by October, right??? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #xstitch #crossstitchersofinstagram #xstitchersofinstagram #crossstitching #xstitching #handstitched #needlework #needlecraft #crossstitchlove #crossstitchland #thread #crossstitchthread #dmcthreads #aurifloss #diy #diyproject #crafts #crafty #crafter #inspiration #handsondesign #pumpkinspicefarm #pumpkinspiceseason #maynia #fqsmaynia #crossstitch⁣⠀
This is Homecoming, Block 2 of the Jolly Bar 3 Qui This is Homecoming, Block 2 of the Jolly Bar 3 Quilt Along from @fatquartershop. It makes me happy looking at these cheery, little abodes! 🏡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I purposely went for a "suburban" feel to my houses. You know, when you're driving through a neighborhood with a bunch of beautiful homes, then you notice they all look quite a bit alike??? 🏘️ Similar roofs, same siding, same architecture. I'm not knocking it. There are plenty of neighborhoods I'd love to live in and "look like" everyone else. :)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Be sure to visit the other bloggers in the Jolly Bar QAL!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @gina_tell_threadgraffiti⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @thesmittenchicken⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @Sew_Sweet_SeeBee⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @intheboondocks⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @mona.phelps⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @quilterpatsloan⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @elmstreetquilts⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #quilt #quilting #craft #fabric #fabrics #quiltsofinstagram #fatquartershop #thejollyjabber #fqsfun #JollyBar3QAL
