September Sew Sampler!!!

Okay, so September was a super amazing (super busy) month this year ;) And it is so fun to have my favorite little Aqua Box arrive at the end of month!!! It is like me Sew Sampler Box is the reward at the end of each month!! This month's theme is Bees and Braids and it is just so awesome!! I totally jumped for joy over the fabric this month!!

You See. . . .I have been in love with Sun-Drenched by Sweetfire Road ever since I drafted up this Stacked Squares lap quilt for Moda's catalog in this amazing line using a Fat Quarter Bundle!! That was back in Dec 2024, so I have been "patiently" waiting for 9 months Isn't it just so pretty!!! I love all of the beautiful low volumes and they make the Navy and Gold just pop :) Such a gorgeous line!!

So when I opened my Sew Sampler Box to find a Sun-Drenched junior jelly roll, oh so happy day!! And how stunning is that Dutch Braid Table Runner!! I have been wanting to do a Dutch Braid project for sometime, and now, I am all set to go!! Although, I might organize my colors a little more, so it is a little less random and a little more planned out :)

And the notions for this month are just awesome!! Of course, we have the Jelly Braid Paper on a Roll, so ya know, I am super set to make this new project!! And I love this little Quilt Project Book, such a great way to keep track of everything you are working on. Which when you are working on over 10 projects at a time is super helpful!! And I love this new Clover Seam Ripper!! I am always telling my students, seam rippers get dull just like rotary cutters and it is always a good idea to replace them every once and a while. This one will go in the line of rippers to use ;) l

And were are on to block 6 of this Flowering QAL!! Yippee, half way there ;) I am using 50 Years of Moda!!! And I might have totally missed making mirror images of my leaves . . . so that lead to some creative redesigning of the block layout. So now I have more of a vine look than a flower, but I still like it and think it was a good save ;) . I am just loving these Flowering Blocks!!
