Have you been quilting along with the @fatquarters

Have you been quilting along with the @fatquartershop Bloom-Topia quilt? Did you know they have PASSED their original $30,000 goal for Make A Wish AND released all the bonus patterns? So many good things going on!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
More good stuff is the road trip that the orignal Bloom-Topia quilt made, visiting the bloggers in this quilt along. "Bloom" made a stop by my house, too, and I wrote a bit about that on the blog today if you want to check it out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you @fatquartershop for including me!

Happy Friday, everyone! Today is block release #2,

Happy Friday, everyone! Today is block release #2, Buttercup, of the Heartfelt Charity Quilt Along from @fatquartershop. You can get all the information and download the pattern at https://blog.fatquartershop.com/2022-heartfelt-quilt-along/.

In Kansas, we don't have any buttercups blooming yet, but small green shoots are already sprouting up. Yesterday, it was nearly 80 degrees here. Mind you, I believe the forecast for Monday is snow. I don't really mind, though, because the cold weather makes staying in the sewing room that much more cozy and enjoyable!

In the meantime, these Buttercup Blocks are just as bright and cheery as a fresh bouquet of flowers, so I'll enjoy them.

Greetings, friends! I've been poor about posting the past couple weeks, but I've been fast and furiously making pineapple quilt blocks! I'll backtrack to share some "before" photos leading up to this point.
🍍🍍🍍
This quilt started with a free, downloadable pattern from @fatquartershop which is hosting a 3-week sew along to make the Pineapple Day Quilt. 🍍🍍🍍
Next, I made a few tweaks to the original pattern, lol! I am using @fatquartershop Pineapple Papers which are AMAZING, however I added an extra square to the center of the blocks (the purple solid) and chose to extend my printed fabrics to the corners of each block, rather than frame them in white. I also decided to use only the 12-inch blocks. I PROMISE to write a blog post this week, sharing the changes in more detail. 🍍🍍🍍
Check out @fatquartershop to get all the details about the sew along.. I'm using a @lellaboutique Lollipop Garden fat quarter bundle to make strips, and I added a few #bonnieandcamillefabric strips from my stash for more variety. 🍍🍍🍍

Did you know that June 27 is Pineapple Day 🍍🍍 and @fatquartershop has a new, free quilt pattern to celebrate the occasion?!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Along with the free, downloadable pattern, @fatquartershop is hosting a 3-week sew along that starts today to make the Pineapple Day Quilt.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check out @fatquartershop to get all the details. Today is Day 1 of the sew along, and I'm getting all my supplies ready. Although the pattern calls for jelly rolls and charm squares, I've decided this is a good time to cut into my @lellaboutique Lollipop Garden fat quarter bundle. More to come! 🍍🍍🍍

I had to share this pic with you today, mainly because that magnolia tree in the background is magnificent! This picture doesn't do it justice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My neighbor, Mary, has the greenest thumb in the county. If I need a feel-good yard moment, I cross the alley to Mary's front porch, sit a spell, and soak in all the beauty.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Seeing the gorgeous colors of her tree a little bit ago, I was reminded me of this project I finished ages ago!! The first block we did in the @fatquartershop Threadology QAL was an Ohio Star (February 1), and I was making NICU quilts for a group of women I quilt with monthly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I decided to oversize the Ohio Star block to make this NICU quilt and hadn't delivered it yet because I wanted to photograph it (and we were still having snow then). I located it buried under two quilt tops that are in line to be quilted. Thank goodness for the magnolia blooms reminding me with their similar colors as my quilt, otherwise, it might still be buried! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And in case someone hasn't heard of NICU, it means Newborn Intensive Care Unit - a nursery in a hospital that provides around-the-clock care to sick or premature babies. Now that I've remembered and photographed the quilt, I'll try to find my notes and put a tutorial for it on my blog this week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I am finally in my sewing room actually sewing rather than cleaning for the first time in ages. It feels so good! However, Pepper, my cat, refuses to get off my lap. Besides her, do you see anything else in this picture that really shouldn't be there?

Took a break over the weekend away from my pumpkin

Took a break over the weekend away from my pumpkin spice farm to complete some very old UFOs. Need to show those later this week. Enjoying the end of this dreary, rainy day getting back to this project.

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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

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????!

The Carolina Lily Quilt Along is live @fatquarters

The Carolina Lily Quilt Along is live @fatquartershop Jolly Jabber blog where they are featuring this free downloadable block, as well as an entire quilt kit, featuring the new At Home fabrics by Bonnie & Camille for Moda.❤️ I'm just one of several bloggers "quilting along," and I changed things up a bit from the original block. I'm using #vintagehappy2fabric by Lori Holt for Riley Blake fabrics. I replaced bias trim stems with some super-fast rick rack ones instead. Stop by to read my tips and to learn more about the quilt kit and pattern (with four size options) and free block pattern!😃 #carolinalilyquilt #thejollyjabber #freequiltpattern #classicandvintageseries #flowerquilt #flowerquiltblock #rickrack #fatquartershop #fqs #fqsfun #fqsquiltalong #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #quiltsofinstagram #beeinmybonnet #vintagehappy2 #rileyblakedesigns
