July Sew Sampler!!

July just went by so fast!!!  But I always love the end of the month because it means I get the newest Sew Sampler Box, and July's is a great one!!!!   This month's theme is Patio Picnic and I just love it!!!   Especially because we have been enjoying a lot of picnic's recently ;)


It's starts out with a beautiful Shades of Summer Petite Rolie Polie.  I love how happy these prints are, just so fun!!!!  And I totally see a new picnic quilt in the line up, because this Patio Picnic Pattern is just to cute!!   And it would go together real quick as well ;)  


And the notions for this month's are all new and upcoming!!!   First up, this awesome Triangles on a Roll Paper that is actually made for Jelly Roll Strips.  How cool is that!!!!  And I am super excited for this Magic Pins Sampler pack as I have heard nothing but great about these Magic Pins.  It will be fun to try them out.   And finally, Hugo's Amazing Tape will so come in handy to keep all of the loose ends on spools nice and tidy.


And last, but not least . . . a new box means a new Block!!   .This year we are working on the Greatest Hits Quilt and this block is Track 4  ;)   I love how this block turned out.  I went a little more scrappy in the corals and really like it!!!  I think I will continue to do a few more with a "scrappy" look to them ;)   It's fun to see how this is just evolving as we go along!




And just a note, if you are wanting to get in on the new year of Sew Sampler boxes you have to get in line.  There is currently a waiting list as the box subscription is full.   But hopefully the wait isn't to long.  (I have been told new spots open up each week!!!)


And that is the July Sew Sampler Box!!!  Time to start a new picnic quilt before summer is all gone ;)

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

Works in Progress - Charming Baby Remix's

So remember how I shared I am making here, here, and here . . . Well today I am excited to share some more progress.  I have 5 Quilt Tops Done, 3 Quilts with the blocks all made, and 2 More being cut and pieced.   So today, I thought it would be fun to share the Charming Baby Quilts Remixes Blocks that are all made ;)



 To The Moon - Remix
First Up . . . The To the Moon blocks.   There are 35 of these all pieced and I just love the Soft Blue Speckled Background!!!  It really makes Alexia Abegg's not yet released, Golden Hour Charm Packs just shine.  I can't wait to get this one all sewn together and see how "grown up" it is going to be :)   



On The Move - Remix

And next up, you remember how I was using some Kona Rainbow Charm Packs for some colorful rainbow goodness. . . well here are just a few of the colors in the rainbow all On The Move!!!   Seriously, I just need to get these sewn up into rows like yesterday because I can't wait to see it all in rainbow order ;)     



And finally, my super sized,  Twinkle Twinkle blocks!!!  And can I just say, I am so super thrilled with how these have come together ;)   I just love the large size, and how perfect is this fabric!!!!  I just love the Grey Apricot and Ash Panel centers and the Grey Small Plus  for the Star Points.   They are just so great!!!   And the Apricot and Ash Layer Cakes are making such a fun background.   Seriously, another that has to be sewing together fast, and with only 8 (very long) seams to do just that, I am sure it won't be long before I share this finish!!! 



So that is a little of what I have been working on in the last few weeks!!!  And I was all excited for some soon to be un-interrupted sewing time when the kids were supposed to be going back to school in 2 weeks, but ya . . . school start just got delayed today.  So now we all get to enjoy one more month of Summer!!!   Here's hoping we all make it, tee hee hee!!!


I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!!

Jolly Bar Row Along!!

So remember back here when I said I was going to do the Jolly Bar Row Along???  Well, it's started and is well under way and I just realized, I was a little behind.  So I sad down and started making blocks. 




I started with the Sparrow Blocks.   So cute!!!

 

Followed by the Arrow Blocks.  These only took a minute to make ;)  



And the Hear blocks followed soon after that.  I just love how fun and fast these blocks are!!  



And I just couldn't stop, so I moved on to the Butterfly blocks.  


And finished up with the Arrow blocks.   Wow, what a fun afternoon of sewing!!!


So now all my blocks are made, and I am ahead.  Maybe I will have the quilt top put together by the end of the Row Along ;)   So fun!!!
There is still lots of time to join in, because just like me, you can catch up super fast as these blocks are just a breeze to make and so much fun!!!  You will need the Jolly Bar Book, Volume 2,and 1 Jolly Bar and some background fabric and you are ready to go!!!!


And this is my planned layout, you know I always have to change things up a bit ;)   I am using Winifred Rose by Christopher Thompson for Riley Blake Designs and I just have to sew up the rows now.   Should have this done very soon :) 


I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!   I know I plan to sew and sew and hopefully sew some more ;)
