July Sew Sampler and Celebrating 100!!!

Wow, can you believe it!!!  This is the 100th  Sew Sampler Box, isn't that just so cool :)  Now if only I could say I have all 100 projects completed, tee hee hee ;)    But just wow, I just love this amazing   Sew Sampler Box subscription and this July 100 Celebration box is just great!!! The theme for this month is Playful Summer and I can't wait to play with this quilty goodness :)  


I mean, you know I love Charm Packs!!!!   And to get 3 Matching charm packs, so exciting!!!  While I like the Five Stas table runner, I am thinking I might want to use these 30's Playtime Charm Packs to make a Ring Around the Rosie's quilt from Charming Baby Quilts.   I just think the fabrics would fit its design so well!!   


And the notions for this month, so great!!!   This Small Stitch Love Maker Bucket is just adorable, and I think it will be perfect to hold cards and notes I get from quilters!!!   And I am super excited about this Woven Star Foundation Pad, you know I just love Star quilts ;)    And the Blue Fabric Glue pen will come in handy when paper piecing the first piece of fabric to the template.  I have seen this done lots but never tried it and I am excited to give it a go ;)  And of course, now I can store it in the Mini Stash n Store.  I always love those little guys for keeping everything organized in my sewing room ;) 


And I am also excited to share my newest  Pieceful Basket block.    I am just loving these blocks in their fun and happy Kona Lime Background, and  Milk and Honey bundle baskets.   And who doesn't love piecing little 1" finished squares, so cute!!! 



And that is July, lucky 100,  Sew Sampler Box.

  And now, school stars in a week, and life gets back to regular routine and maybe I can share August's  Box actually at the end of August ;)  

Happy Quilting!!!

Moonbeams Quilt Along - Release 6 - Square in a Square Border and Quilt Top!!

 Today is the sixth release of the Moonbeams Quilt Along and I am just so excited for today as it is all coming together!  This is Fat Quarter Shop's 11th Annual Charity Quilt Along and they are always my favorite :)  Today's release is the  Square in a Square Row and Finishing the Quilt Top .   And how fun are these rows of low volume squares!! 


And I had so much fun sewing together the entire quilt top.   Although I will give a little helpful advice, pay close attention to the layout of the blocks, some of those with cornerstones in only two corners get flipped easily.  Ask me how I know ;)  I am using Imaginary Flowers for by Gingiber for my blocks and I am just so happy with how it all came together.  But I want to keep it a little bit of a secret until it is all quilted for today, you get a quilt swirl ;)  


So are you joining in with the Moonbeams Quilt Along fun???   You can download the block pattern right here and it is requested for each pattern you download to donate $10.00  to the Make a Wish Foundation :)  And I am super excited to say that even though we are only on month 3,  Fat Quarter Shop's annual charity QAL raised over $30,000!!!  The goal is $100,000 which will allow for 16 wishes to be granted.  How awesome is that!!!  And Moda Fabrics and Fat Quarter Shop have joined to match up to $30,000 :)  So many amazing wishes :)  


Be sure to share all of your Moonbeams progress on social media with #moonbeamsqal and check out Fat Quarter Shops post for the Finishing Quilt Tops for lots more Moonbeams Inspiration!!! 

And that's it for the Sixth Release in the Moonbeams Quilt Along!!!!     Next time we will make the pieced backing, so exciting!   

Thanks for popping in today ;)  Have a Happy Quilting Day!!

Home Town Holiday Sampler Quilt Along!!

Okay, so let's be honest . . . How many Christmas Quilts does one person need???   The answer for me is Always More!!!   I love to give away Christmas Quilts at Holiday parties and gatherings, there is just something so great about sharing a quilty hug at one of the most festive times of the year!!!   So when I saw that the Fat Quarter Shop was hosting this new Home Town Holiday Sampler Quilt Along, I was all in ;)


I mean, this is some classic Lori Holt Christmas Goodness from her newest book Home Town Holiday Sampler!! !!!   And I just love making sampler quilts . . .  it is so fun when every block is different and you get to see them all come together ;)  And I also love some tiny piecing, and as you can see, this has lots and lots of piecing :)  This Quilt Along will be a weekly one, starting the end of this month and getting your quilts finished just in time for the big 25th!!


And my plan is to make a Sweetwater Christmas Sampler ;)   I had a Hometown Christmas Edition and Blizzard  Layer Cake stashed away, and I added a brand new On Dasher  Layer Cake to the mix and will use On Dasher Prints for the borders and binding and bigger pieces.    I am so excited, Sweetwater Christmas lines are always a favorite of mine and I think this sampler is going to turn out just amazing.   Oh, and since Sweetwater has so many low volume prints, I plan to use a gris grunge background, so exciting!!!


So do you want to come Quilt Along on some Holiday Goodness as well?  Check out all the details here and get ready for the fun to start soon ;)    



My Home Town Holiday Sampler Book just arrived in the mail and I can't wait to get cutting ;)
