Route 66 Quilt Shops !!!

 We had the wonderful opportunity to visit family in Kingman AZ a few weeks ago!!   Did you know Route 66 goes right through Kingman, AZ??   Well, we certainly got our kicks!!  

And even more fun than driving on Route 66, is stopping by the quilt shops just off of Route 66!!!  Kingman has 2 wonderful little quilt shop's!!  I visited Donna's Quilt Shop and got to sit and chat with Donna ;)  It was a wonderful visit.  

And you know I can't pass up a wall of Grunge!!!  So many beautiful colors!!! 

Then a block over I got to visit Connie's Quilter's Hide-A-Way!!  This was another cute shop, and of course, I loved that long arm's were humming away in both shops.   It is always fun to see the quilts that the locals have made.   So pretty!!!  

And this time, It was a wall of Kona Solids that had me stopped in my tracks.   I truly love how you just have so many amazing color options in the basics.   Just so great!!! 

It was such a great visit and then it was back onto Route 66 for more "Kicks" and some ice cream, because seriously, it was like 105 to 110 degrees while we were there!!!

July's Sew Sampler Box!!!

 I can't believe July is already coming to an end.   Where did the month go??  But it's alright, because the end of another month means another Sew Sampler Box!!!     And July's theme is Summer Soiree and it is filled with so much quitly summer goodness!!!   I can't wait to start swing with this!!! 

I just love the prints and the colors from April Rosenthal's new Berry Basket Fabric!!   It truly encompasses a summer picnic :)   And how fun is the Fruit Punch Quilt Pattern to go with it!!! I am totally thinking of getting another 2 Berry Basket Jolly Bar's so I can make this same design, just bigger, so that it will be just the right size for a summer picnic!!  And with a Chambray background . . .   So fun ;)  

And the notions for this month are great as well!!!! Of course, Fat Quarter Shop included the Flag Day Tumbler Template that is used in making the Fruit Punch quilt.  I so love that they always do that, making it that much easier to get started on the project  of the month ;)   And I am excited about the Magnafingers Pick-Up Release.  This is going straight in my travel kit.  I don't know why, but I always seem to drop my pin box when I am at retreat, so this is the perfect addition to my traveling tote.  And finally, the Strippy Zipper Pouch Kit is just so cool!!!   I am still a little nervous about making pouches and putting in zippers, but this kit will make it so easy :)  

And I think I have a plan for the Pressed Flowers Quilt Along!!!!  Now I just need time to get started on it and get caught up.   August for the win!!! Wish me luck ;) 

And just a note, there are currently some openings for  Sew Sampler boxes so you can jump right in and start having this lovely little aqua box arrive at your doorstep too!!!   

And that is June Sew Sampler Box and I am so looking forward to August Box ;)  It will be such a lovely little surprise when things quiet down as everyone will be back in school ;)  

Happy Quilting!!! 

Barn Star Sampler QAL - Month 7

 It's Month 7 of the Barn Star Sampler Quilt Along and I am just so excited to share another set of blocks!!!  Thanks to Fat Quarter Shop' for hosting this awesome quilt along!!  I am having so much fun sewing along on these amazing star blocks :)     This month we are sharing Block 7 :)  

My Barn Star Sampler will finish at 100" x 100" square, so sometimes I will be making more blocks, but this month, it's just 2 like everyone else.  And I am just loving the blocks in their Rainbow of Ombre goodness!!!   This month's Block 7 is made . . . 

in Coral

and Green

I just love these Friendship Star Blocks!!!  This month's colors had lots of contrast in them, and I think it just really makes these blocks pop.   And I love how light the green is at it gives it such a subtle star look.    Now I get to look forward to Month 8, which has a similar look to this month :)

So are you quilting along with all of the star fun as well??  Be sure to share all of your Barn Star Sampler progress on social media with #BarnStarSamplerqal and check out Fat Quarter Shops post for Block 7  for lots more Barn Star Inspiration!!!   

And that's it for Block 7 - The Friendship Star Block in the Barn Star Sampler Quilt Along!!!!
