Even better, FQS is hosting the Jolly Bar 3 Quilt Along, which started TODAY, and I'm quilting along!! 🧵🪡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today is the release of Block 1, Treasure Trove, and I've written all about it on my blog, including a picture of my finished block.✂️ I've been looking at the other bloggers' finished blocks and am blown away at all the gorgeous fabric choices, so be sure to check them out😍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @gina_tell_threadgraffiti⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @thesmittenchicken⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @Sew_Sweet_SeeBee⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @intheboondocks⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @mona.phelps⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @quilterpatsloan⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @elmstreetquilts⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #quilt #quilting #craft #fabric #fabrics #quiltsofinstagram #fatquartershop #thejollyjabber #fqsfun #JollyBar3QAL
I am finally in my sewing room actually sewing r 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? #lintroller #catsandquilts #mycatownsme #quilts
Happy #NationalCatDay !! Happy #NationalCatDay !!
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
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.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #FatQuarterShop #Quilt #Quilting #Fabric #QuiltingFabric #ShowMeTheModa #ModaFabrics #MadeWithModa #HeartfeltQAL #HeartfeltQuilt #CharityQuilt #QAL
Happy Weekend! 🍍 🍍 I'm back to talk some mor Happy Weekend! 🍍 🍍 I'm back to talk some more about my pineapple quilt from the @fatquartershop Pineapple Day Quilt Along. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When this morning started, I had planned to lounge poolside with one of my girlfriends all afternoon, but its soooo stinkin' hot and muggy out that I ended up working on my Pineapple Day Quilt borders...in the house. With air conditioning. 😁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I took a break from the sewing room and decided to write the promised blog post about the revisions I made to the pineapple foundation papers and the original quilt design. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There will be a few more blog posts this next week about my #pineappledayquilt and, hopefully by next weekend I will have the borders finished and on the quilt to share with you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to read how I went from paper (second picture) to finished block, you can check it out on my blog (link in profile). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pineappledayquilt #fatquartershop #fqs #fqsfun #fqsquiltalong #showmethemoda #modafabrics #modalove #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #quiltsofinstagram #paperpiecing #sew #sewing #handmade #sewingproject #sewalong
Today is the day and you have less than an hour le Today is the day and you have less than an hour left! @fatquartershop is auctioning two finished Threadology Quilts, proceeds to benefit Make-A-Wush, so hurry over to https://blog.fatquartershop.com/charity-quilt-auction/ for the auction links while you have time. This is one of my favorite quilts thus far that I have made!
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. ✖❤✖❤✖ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #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⁣⠀
I had to share this pic with you today, mainly bec 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #makeawish #threadologyquiltalong #rileyblakedesigns #carinagardner #fabric #fabrics #fatquartershop #fqs #fqsfun #sewing #sewingproject #sew #sewalong #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #Quiltsofinstagram #makesomething #creativehappylife

Some people take a summer break. I, on the other h Some people take a summer break. I, on the other hand, took a September break, at least from social media. It wasn't intentional, but it was helpful! Cleared some UFOs from the closet, started and finished some new projects, did some longarm quilting for hire (completely unplanned) and now I'm ready for a fresh start! Anyone have big fourth quarter plans? There's still three months left to finish (or start) your 2019 new year resolutions! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #monthlymarker #MapleLeafQuilt #vintageandclassic #fatquartershop #fqs #fqsfun #fqsquiltalong #showmethemoda #modafabrics #modalove #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #quiltsofinstagram #halfsquaretriangle #sew #sewing #handmade #sewingproject #sewalong #fallquilts #autumn
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
