So you might recall at the end of last year when I shared my Stroll Quilt, well, I am happy to say that the Sunday Stroll fabrics are now available!! (That was a long 6 month wait :) The fabric was a little delayed, but it is so worth the wait. I just love these Sunday Stroll fabrics by Camille and Bonnie!!
I just had so much fun making this Stroll quilt!! The Stroll pattern is by Camille and it is awesome and easy to follow. And it is fun to get to piece so many different blocks for one quilt. I just love the layout as well, so adorable!! I know many of you expressed how you just loved this quilt, so I wanted to let you know that it is now available as it has been a long wait ;)
And how fun that the quilt I made is the cover girl for the Quilt Kit!!! Fat Quarter Shop has a Kit that is now available. The kit has the pattern, Sunday Stroll Fat Quarters, Background and Binding. Oh, and the quilt finishes at 65" x 78" so it makes a wonderful summertime lap quilt!!!
I can't wait for this quilt to come home when it is done with it's little trip to lots of quilt shops. It is just going to be such a happy quilt to add to the collection ;)
Oh, and speaking of Sunday Stroll fabrics, I shared a little sneak peek last week of my Moroccan Lullaby 2 quilt that will soon be a new pattern release . . . did you catch that the baby size was made with Sunday Stroll?? Love this fabric and it pairs so great with the Cross Weave Background!!
I have been quilting up a storm the last few days and I am just thrilled with the results!! Any time I decide to do a whole lot of pebbling and changing out colors of thread, I know it is going to take a while, but it is always so worth it when it is done ;) Isn't that just so pretty!!!
And the back looks just as cool!!! Eeekkk!!! I am so glad I went with a black background, it really just shows off all of that yummy quilting ;)
And if you haven't recognized this design yet, it is my new Moroccan Lullaby 2 quilt that I started last month and said was Coming Soon :) I finally picked the baby size fabric as well and got that worked up too. Which means . . . the pattern will actually be Coming Soon now!!! I just need to bind and finish up some last edits of the new pattern and then take some pictures.
Thanks for being so patient. I can't wait to share these new quilts. I just love them!!
I hope you are all having a very happy quilting weekend!
At the beginning of the year, I shared some saved bundles that I was cutting up for two class projects at the Quilty Friends Retreat. Well, I am happy to say that they didn't just get set aside after class :) I have been working on these bit by bit in between other projects and the other day finished the blocks for both quilts!!!
The first set of blocks is for the Flower Market class. I used the blacks and pinks from Olive's Flower Market Bundle by Lella Boutique . I am just so excited with how these blocks came together. I love the colors and think it is going to be the cutest quilt!!! I can't wait to get it all sashed :)
The second set of blocks is for the Midnight Crossing class. This is a design by Fig Tree Quilts and Co. and it is a Halloween quilt, but I opted for Christmas, using Merry Stars Here bundle by Sweetwater. And I totally upsized the blocks from the pattern so that this will finish at a queen size quilt. I just love all of those happy stars . . . another one to get sewn into a quilt top fast!!!
And speaking of sewing into a quilt top . . . I also have my stacks of Greatest Hits blocks from the 2020 Sew Sampler Box that need to be sewn into a quilt top as well. I am not sure how I plan to sash this one yet, but as soon as I decide, it is going to be sewn up to.
So ya, three stacks of blocks, all just waiting to be sewing up into quilt tops ;) Oh, well, I guess I should be totally candid and say I have two others sets of blocks that are done and just waiting to be put into quilt tops, but those two other sets have been waiting for over a year. So ya, we don't bring them up :) Here's to not letting these 3 add to the "someday" pile :)
I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting day, and who knows, maybe you can even break out some of your Someday projects and make a little dent in them :)

Garden of Quilts 2021 is a Go!!! I am just thrilled to share that this amazing event is moving forward and I can't wait for September :) This is just the thing to look forward to when we will all be getting back to "normal" ;) And I would just love for you to join me and all of the amazing teachers, presenters, and most importantly, quilts!!!
The first Garden of Quilts was held in September 2019 to celebrate Riley Blake's 10th Anniversary!!! The event was a huge hit. And last year, even thought the classes, cancels, and trunk shows had to be cancelled due to Covid-19, the Garden was still filled with quilts for all to come and visit!!! I had 5 quilts hanging in the Garden and I was so happy to be a part of it, even if I couldn't go and teach :)
But now, I am just thrilled that Garden of Quilts 2021 is moving forward and the Registration opens today!!! It will once again be held at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi Utah on September 15th - 18th, 2021. There will be lots and lots of classes to choose from, as well as lectures, trunk shows, vendors, and of course, all of them amazing quilts in the outdoors!!! I can't wait to see them all blowing in the breeze ;) And you can be part of the Garden of Quilts show and submit a quilt for display . . . see all the details for submission here.
And I am super thrilled this year to not only be teaching classes but to be doing a Trunk Show as well!!! I will be sharing my Charming Baby Quilts Trunk Show on Friday at 12:00 PM in the garden. All of the trunk shows for the day are included in your Admission ticket. I am just so excited to share all of these quilts, including all of the remix's, in such a fun and amazing venue :)
And right after the Trunk Show, I get to teach!!! I will be teaching 3 classes at Garden of Quilts 2021!!! Nordic Nights will be taught on Friday afternoon, and then Desert Rose on Saturday Morning and finally, Decades Past on Saturday afternoon. I am so looking forward to all 3 classes and hope to see you in them ;) They are going to be so much fun!!
And even if you are not from the Utah area, this event is so worth the trip!!! It really is a rock star line up of teachers (which I am so honored to be a part of!!) as well as an incredible venue of over 55 gorgeous acres hosting an amazing line up of quilts all in the wild.
You can see all of the details at the Main Garden of Quilts page . I am so looking forward to this and hope to see you there!!!! Won't it just be so great to get to sew together again :)
