June Sew Sampler Box!!!

June is quickly coming to a close, and that means another Sew Sampler Box reveal!!!  This month's theme was Be Our Guest, and everything about this box has me feeling like the Guest of Honor :)  Can I just say Wow, I love my little Aqua  Sew Sampler Box !!!   (and FYI, there is still a waiting list for membership, but I hear it turns over fast ;)

So let's get into the box!!!   We all know I love, love, love Charm Packs!!!  But to not only find a Strawberry Jam Charm Pack by Corey Yoder, but also a Walkabout Charm Pack by Sherri and Chelsi!!!   So excited :)   If you have followed my blog for any amount of time, you know that I use Corey's fabrics as well as Sherri and Chelsi's fabrics a whole lot.   And these ladies are also amazing friends!!!  Corey was in my very first Virtual Bee and Sherri and I teach at a lot of the same retreats in Utah.   So just all around happy about the fabrics this month!!! 

And the notions this month, so fun!!  I just love this little Wool Pressing Mat :)  I have been using a Wool Pressing Mat for the last few months and I just love how well it holds the heat.  This little one is going to be perfect for pressing lots of small repetitive units and wonderful for traveling.   And I just saw a set of those Cleaning Brushes while teaching last month and thought, brilliant, I should get some of those.   And how great is it that they just show up in my box.   Love that!!!

And of course, we have another Goodness Grows block to go with June!!!  This month the block is called Stay Rooted and it is oh so cute :)   I just get so excited to see what each month's block is going to be.  This is such a fun little sampler and Corey's blocks are oh so adorable!!!

And that is my June  Sew Sampler box  :)    And just in case you missed it, I have planned a second Goodness Grows project, you can see more about it here ;)

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

Threadology Wishes Coming!!!

So it's been a little quiet around here.   Sorry about that :)  I just got back from a camp with 30 teens ages 14-18 from my church  and I was so busy trying to get ready to go, I didn't get any blog posts scheduled for while I was out of cell service.   But it's all good right, that is all part of summer greatness!!!  Getting away from technology and enjoying the great out doors!!!  And we have lot's more outdoors planned to cram in to the next month and a half, so we will see how things go around here over the next few weeks :) 

But it is always great to get back to my machine :)  I am working on some new things, and working on finishing up a few older things that I will be able to share soon.   But for today, I just wanted to pop in an give you a final update on the Threadology Quilt Along.

The Quilt Auction of mine and Pat Sloan's Threadology quilts finished this morning.  And I am thrilled to report that it raised $1,437 dollars which is just so awesome!!! 

Add that to the amount of $21,648.96 that was raised from donations through out the Threadology Quilt Along from all of the wonderful quilters out there that quilted along.   And then don't forget to add in the $20,000 matched by Moda Fabrics and the Fat Quarter Shop!!!

That is a total of $43,085.96 raised to benefit Make a Wish Foundation!!! Isn't that just incredible.   In 2016 this Charity Quilt Along raised enough to make these two wishes below come true.   And this year, it looks like the amount raised will grant at least 3 wishes to children and that just makes me smile :)

Isn't this industry just amazing to be a part of!!!

Happy Quilting, Indeed!!!!

Be Fruitful Quilt Plan

Okay, so the last thing I need is a new project!!  But sometimes a new project just sort of happens ;)

So here is how it wen't down.  My Be Fruitful Block that  I made back here  is on my counter just waiting for the additional Goodness Grows patterns by Corey Yoder that come each month in my Sew Sampler Box.   And every time I go in to sew, I just can't stop thinking how awesome it would look in a quilt on it's own!!!

And then I thought, nah, I need to make the Goodness Grows quilt.   But then as I thought about the Goodness Grows quilt I realized  I am using an entire fat quarter bundle of Sugarcreek and the Goodness Grows quilt kit  doesn't call for that many fat quarters so there are extra Fat Quarters!!!   And my brain totally rationalized that the last thing I need to do is add more extra fat quarters to my scrap drawers right ;) 

So I started  doing some quilty math of what I needed for my Goodness Grows pattern and what I would need for an entire quilt of Be Fruitful blocks, and wouldn't you know it . . . The fabric requirements worked out perfect!!!   Meant to be right!!!    So then I sketched it up and it was instantly a no-brainier.   I need this quilt!!!

And to the cutting mat I went ;)   Who knows when I will have time to actually sew this, (so many projects :)   but it's all cut now, so I know it will happen, sometime!!   It will finish at 75" x 75" with the adding 3" finished sashing.  And aren't those cornerstones just so cute ;)

So yup, another quilt in the making . . . but less scraps in the bin ;)    That's a fair trade, right??
