August Sew Sampler!!

 Ahh, school is back and I am loving the long days of sewing!!!   I am working on so many projects right now, and with my August  Sew Sampler Box arriving last month, I have another "to make" to add to the pile.  The theme for August was Fables of Fall and it is such an awesome box of quilty goodness!!!   I can't wait to use everything from this month in that Verbena quilt project!!  

I love, love, love this Folk and Lore Fabrics from Fancy That Design House!!!  I got to make this Floral Trails quilt for Stephanie with these prints, and I can tell you, they are absolutely gorgeous!!   And I can't wait to make the Verbena Quilt pattern with it!!   I have some extra's from Floral Trails as well, so I might make Verbena bigger ;)    

And I just love how Fat Quarter Shop always gives us just the notions we need!!!  You don't want to try to cut curves without a 28mm Roater Cutter, they make it soooo much easier!!!    I have 5 that I take with me when teaching my curved piecing classes, and maybe this one will be my Just for Me cutter!  (and side note, I have seen all of the brands in use throughout my classes and I can say, Olfa's is the best!!!)    And I am so excited to try out The Clammy!!!  I have heard so much about this ruler and am thrilled to give it a try ;)    And of course, A mechanical Pencil is always a must when sewing and designing, and this Sewline Pencil is just so cute!!  

And a new month means another Pieceful Basket block.    I am at that point in the process where I am wondering if going outside the box was a great idea.  This Kona Lime Background is so bright.  But I will just keep pushing on because I love the Milk and Honey fabrics  and I really think it will all come together in the end.   

And that is August Sew Sampler Box.

And can I just say, I am so excited that it is September!!!   I can start to feel Fall in the air and it is just making me so very Happy :)  

Happy Quilting!!! 

4 Patch Fun!!

So lately my Leaders and Enders have been making 4 Patches with leftovers from the adorable Hey Boo prints I used in this How They Shine Quilt.   I just love making 4 Patches, they are just so fun and fast and oh so cute!!! 

And about a month ago, I turned my 4 Patches of leftover Favorite Things Christmas Prints from this quilt, into 16 Patches.   Which got me thinking, I should probably figure out what I am going to do with all of these Patches that keep growing into rather large piles.  

So this morning, I remembered about the panels I had stuffed away in my cupboard ;)   The Hey Boo line comes with the cutest panel of "cute" Halloween Goodness!!!  I cut it up and realized quickly that some of those 4 patches will also need to be turned into 16 patches.  I figured out I have just enough patches and prints to do a 5 x 6 layout, a small border, and then a 4 patch border.   Oh, this is going to be so cute!!!  It's about this point where it stops being a leader-ender project and moves into the Just Make It pile.  So exciting!!! 

And I also have some beautiful panel's left from Fancy That Design House's Christmas lines!!  I think they will be a perfect add to these Favorite Things by Sherri and Chelsi 16 patches.  The panels are a little larger than the patchwork, and I don't want to cut them down, so I am thinking an alternating patchwork and panel row layout.  Some sashing between the panels and this will be just the prettiest lap quilt for Christmas.   Yup, another project to add to the Just Make It list ;)  

Isn't it fun how it starts as just simple 4 Patches and before you know it . . . it's a new quilt :)   That is my favorite thing about quilting, every little scrap can make something amazing!!   How about you . . . any 4 Patch fun going on in your sewing space???

Dear Peru

 Well, as of yesterday, our Jessi has arrived in Peru!!!   She is serving an 18 month mission in the Peru Arequipa Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  We are so excited for her and so proud of this decision she has made to serve!!  

And I thought saying goodbye might have been a little easier this time as we experienced this with our son 2 years ago, , , but nope!!!   It was just as hard and honestly, I think a little harder  as we knew what we were getting ourselves into this time.    This is us dropping her off at the Provo Missionary Training Center a few weeks ago.   Yup, no make-up left as we had all the emotions.    

We are so very happy and excited for our Jessi girl, but it is just hard to let go.  I am so grateful that to get the first picture and to know that she is now in Peru, safe and sound, and so excited to get teaching.   So Dear Peru, please take care of our daughter.     She has been so excited to come and serve in your beautiful country.  I know that she is going to have so many wonderful experiences while serving in Peru!! And I am so excited that I get to chat with her each week  over zoom, thank heavens for technology!!   We love you so much Jessica!!!  

  

And just so this post has some quilting in it . . .this is Jessi at her first quilt retreat!!   This was so much fun.  Love that this girl loves to sew still :)
