Moroccan Lullaby 2 - In the Works

 Thank you so much for all of the love on my new Mountain Lullaby Quilt!!!  When I asked if you would like a new Moroccan Lullaby Pattern that includes the alterations I did for this quilt, it was a resounding yes.   So I just wanted to let you know . . . that is in the works ;)  

As I said in my previous post, this Mountain Lullaby quilt is for the Cabin, so I knew right off, I would need to make a new quilt for this pattern so that I would have it available for teaching and trunk shows and such.     I wanted to do some gorgeous large prints to highlight that big center block and found the perfect fabric line for it!!!   Isn't this bundle of Ava Kate by Carina Gardener just gorgeous!!!  I squealed when I got it out of the box, it is just so pretty!!   I think all of those large floral prints will just sing in the center of the blocks.    


And then the fun part, picking the other fabrics to go along with it!!!  I plan to pair it with a Shades Snow background, an Apricot Blush Blossom print for the outlines, and the Black Stripe print from the line for the pop fabric.   I can't wait to get it all put together, I think it is going to be just stunning!! 


And of course, I will most likely make a small baby version as well, but I haven't decided on fabric for that yet ;)  I am hoping to have the quilts made and the pattern done by the end of this month.  Just fyi in case you are waiting for it.

I hope you all have a Happy Quilting Day!!

I am off to cut into this gorgeous stack of Ava Kate!!!

Stacks

 I love being able to work on several projects at one time.  It lets me play with so many pretty fabrics in one day, keeps each step varied, and allows me to be super efficient!!!  But it also creates lots and lots of stacks, in various stages of completion.   Here's the stacks I am working on this week ;)


You might recall I shared that I am working on a new Happy Quilting Pattern that will have curves . . . We'll now I have Stacks and Stacks of Crusts and Pies to make into Modified Drunkard Path units.   Let the creasing, pinning, stitching, and pressing begin!!  Lucky for me, this Songbird Fabric line (comes out in May)  by Fancy that Design House, is absolutely stunning, so I don't mind creasing, pinning, stitching and pressing over and over and over again :)  


I also have this Stack of Sparkle Star Paper Piecing units ready to do some Chain Paper Piecing.  I found I really like "cutting out" the first step instead of trying to match the fabrics in the light.  It just makes it go faster and allows me to really "Chain Piece" even though I am paper piecing, and that is the kind of Paper Piecing I really am starting to like!!!  I am making a table runner with my Starlite Sampler Scraps and it is just going to be so fun to have on the table this coming Christmas!!  



And this fun Stack of blocks is just waiting to be sewn into a quilt top.   This is for a new free tutorial I am working on :)  I just had so many Low Volume scraps, I decided it was time to do something with them.   It combines Log Cabin building with Chain finishes, my favorites!!!   Hopefully, this will be released soon :)  
 

And finally, there has to be a Stack that hasn't even been started yet, right ;)   Remember at the beginning of the year when I said I was starting the My Favorite Color is Moda Sampler ,  well, it is still sitting in a gorgeous Stack of Grunge just waiting to be cut into.  But I refuse to take it off my "stacks in progress" pile as I really want to work on this  It just might be a "sticking around" kind of Stack ;)


So how about you . . . what Stacks are you working on in your sewing space??

It's March!!!

Oh my goodness, where did February go???  Ready or not, it's March.   And there are a few things to be super excited about for March . . .

 First of that being the Instagram Quilt Fest!!!   This is hosted by Amy Ellis (@amyscreativeside) and has been an annual March thing for as long as I can remember.   It's all about a daily prompt to share and it is a wonderful way to meet new quilting friends, be inspired by quilty goodness, and  learn lots of quilting tidbits.   If you have never joined it, this is a great year to start :) 


And second, the Serendipity Quilt Along starts this month!!!  It was originally slated to start today, but the start date is being pushed back to March 15th to allow more time for shipping of fabrics .  But that just means you have 15 more days to get all your supplies together to be ready for the First Release on the 15th!!  I am using Happy Days by Sherri and Chelsi ;)  I am so excited for this awesome Quilt Along, especially as it benefits such a great cause ;)




And finally, the reason I am so super excited for March . . . It's just so great to see the Sunshine again ;)  This morning I sat on the couch in my living room and just enjoyed the sun steaming in through my bay window.   


So bring on March!!!

Here is to a Happy Quilting March Day ;)
