Some Rainbow Fabric Goodness

So it's been a little quieter around here than usual from my end.  Sorry I haven't posted quite as much as usual.    I have been in secret sewing mode for the last couple of weeks as a deadline approached and of course I can't share any of that.   But I am just about done and am excited to get back to some WIP's (like finishing up my Summer Solstice quilt) as well as sharing some new projects this week ;)

And while I don't have a new project start  to share today, I couldn't not post about this fantastic bundle of rainbow goodness that arrived this weekend in the mail ;)   These are a mixture of fabrics from Pat Sloan's wonderful fabric lines for Moda and I have to say, It is sure inspiring me to start up another rainbow project!!!   So fun!!!!

And this rainbow goodness also reminded me that I so need to get caught up on my Splendid Sampler blocks!!!!   I got way behind in Sept. due to the aforementioned secret sewing.   I can't wait to get back to those little rainbow blocks of fabric goodness ;)  

I hope you have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!

Utah Quilt Festival 2016

So I mentioned in my Ruby Jubilee Braided Irish Chain post last Friday, that I had had the wonderful opportunity to travel up the I-15 last week to teach at the 2016 Utah Quilt Festival!!!  This was my first time teaching at this amazing retreat and I had such an amazing time!!!  I taught 3 classes that were just full of amazing women.  I know I have said it before, but I just love the opportunity to teach and be with so many wonderfully talented people who share my same passion.

My first class was my Braided Irish Chain pattern.  This class was a full house, and I was super excited because for a few students in the class it was the first time they had used a Jelly Roll.  Gotta love introducing the wonderful world of pre-cuts!!!  Everyone worked so hard and over half of them finished their first block!!!  So fantastic ;)  And don't you just love everyone's fabrics.  One of my favorite parts of teaching is seeing the different fabrics everyone chooses to make their quilts with ;)

That evening, I got to teach my Wonky Irish Chain pattern. This class was a little smaller and turned out to be a family affair as half of the gals in the class were quilting with a family member.  That was just so fun.  One of the students was their with her mom and it was her first quilting class.   It was just so wonderful to see everyone help her along and teach her all of their little quilting tidbits.  It really just warmed my heart and made me realize how Happy we all are when Quilting!!!

And the next morning I was able to teach my Petal Pop pattern.  This was another full class, and they all did amazing!!!  Almost everyone in the class finished their first block and several got more finished as well.  This is one of my favorite classes to teach because the block is built a little backwards then you would assume, so it is so fun to see when it "clicks" with everyone and then they realize just how easy it is to whip up ;)    Love it!!!

I just love, love, love teaching!!!!  It is such a blessing to be able to share this passion for quilting with so many amazing women :)  It really is just an amazing Happy Quilting time!!!   This gives you a little idea of what class was like ;)  Lots of amazing students sewing away, and beautiful blocks surrounding the room as everyone finished up their blocks.  Isn't that so fun to see them lining the walls!!!

Thank you so much to the Utah Quilt Festival for having me this year.  It was so wonderful and I am already looking forward to returning next year for the Ruby Jubilee 40th Anniversary!!!  So exciting ;)

September Sew Sampler Box!!!

When I got back from teaching this last weekend I had a wonderful surprise waiting for me . . . my September Sew Sampler box from Fat Quarter Shop!!!  I have to say, I just love, love, love, these Sew Sampler Boxes!!  It really is like Christmas arriving on my doorstep, but it comes on every 25th of the month!!!!  

September's box was filled with so much quilty goodness, as you can see above,  but of course, I went straight for the fabric first ;)   I just love these adorable prints from Sweet Orchard and I have to say, it is going to be hard to unroll this ever so cute Rollie Pollie.  (But I am sure I will manage at some point ;)

And isn't this little Create pouch just adorable!!!  And I saw on Instagram someone using it to hold their Sew Sampler recipie cards, and they are the perfect fit!!!   Brilliant!!! 

And then I squealed out loud when I saw this Ruler Pal from Pleasant Home and Riley Blake Designs.  I have had my eyes on these ever since Jodi announced that she was working with Riley Blake to distribute them, and I am so, so, so excited to have my own. It fits perfect right next to my cutting mat and holds all of my most commonly used rulers.   And look, it even matches the Olfa Splash Rotary Cutter that we got in the Sew Sampler box a few months ago!!!  (It's almost like they planned that out in advance, tee hee hee ;)

So ya, lots of tidbits to get super excited about in this months box.   And of course, I wouldn't want to end my box reveal without including my Sew Sampler Recipe Card block.  I am just loving these super fun blocks and I can't wait to see this sampler come together ;)

And while I was putting away all of these new quilting goodies, I also got all unpacked from being gone last week at the quilt retreat ;)  It's always nice to get back to sewing with a clean sewing room.  

I hope you are all having a Happy Quilting Week so far!!!
