Summer Moon BOM

June 10, 2019June 7, 2019Leave a comment

The Summer Moon Block of the Month, designed by Carrie Nelson is totally sold out at the fatquartershop.com. However, you can still buy the book and use your own fabrics. Originally, there were 2 colorways ... Moda Fabrics Lollipop Garden by Lella Boutique with Essential Dots Backgrounds and Later Alligator by Sandy Gervais with Modern Backgrounds Paper. I chose the Lollipop Garden vintage fabric because the modern was sold out by the time I clicked the add to cart button! I guess this is why we should never hesitate when buying fabric!!! 🙂

To match my Swoon 16 Bed Quilt, I made a very small replica wallhanging, The Mini Swoon by Thimble Blossoms. The mini quilt measures 19" x 19" and uses the smallest scraps. The Swoon block is a bit time consuming and this mini version is no exception. The small pieces can be a bit tedious … Continue reading Mini Swoon by Thimble Blossoms

So, last month, I participated in the Perfect 10 Sampler Sew Along from Sew Emma's "Perfect 10" book. The sampler consisted of one block from each of the 16 quilts. It gives the opportunity to see which block most appeals to you, I think. After finishing the sampler, I knew that I wanted to do … Continue reading Cookie Dough Quilt

I have needed a hand sewing kit forever. I ran across a video on YouTube (below) and really liked how this bag was constructed. The compartment that holds wonder clips was the best selling point for me. The instructions for the bag can be found here. This is a great project for scraps. Each little … Continue reading Goody Goody Binding Bag

I received my monthly labels from Sweetwater Co. and thought that you might like to see them. The subscription is $7.50 per month for 2 personalized and dated labels. The labels are printed on high quality iron-on fabric. They are simple enough, yet still have style. This month's labels: I have ordered labels from Border … Continue reading Quilt Labels

FQS Perfect 10 Quilt Along

My finished perfect 10 sampler top. It still needs to be quilted. I am not exactly thrilled over the final result. The Zuma fabrics were not appropriately showcased as the background overpowers them. I will do another in a different fabric line. I especially like the darker backgrounds I have seen others post.
