Splendid Saturday

It's been another fun Saturday morning making a Splendid Sampler block ;)   This week I only had one to make, as I posted my block, Lots of Love on Sunday, so I had it made a little early ;)  It has been so Splendid to see everyone's Lots of Love blocks!!!  Seriously, it has just been amazing and incredibly humbling to be a small part of everyone's Splendid Sampler.  You can see all of the Lots of Love blocks either in the Facebook Group, with #thesplendidsampler on social media, or at the links in this post.  So fun!!!

And the block I made this week was Happy Happy designed by Jen Kingwell.   I was so fortunate to meet Jen Kingwell last month and this block is just like her, so very happy ;)   I did raw edge applique instead of hand stitched, surprise,surprise.  I adjusted my  blanket stitch super tiny to go around the little circles and just love the added little pop it gives them.

And those are this weeks Splendid Sampler blocks.  Looking forward to next Saturday for another Splendid Morning of Saturday Stitching ;)

Happy Quilting!!!

Improv Bag

So you might remember that at the Cedar Retreat in January that I actually got to take a class, well today I am excited to share that my adorable little Improv Bag is done!!!  Isn't it so cute :)   And I have to give a huge thank you to Barbara, because otherwise it wouldn't be done.  My two bag halves have been sitting just waiting for me to sew them together and she took them with her on a  little weekend trip and brought them back a finished bag.  (So sweet of her ;)  

The class and pattern for this bag is by Sandra Workman.  I originally saw these adorable bags she designed at Market and have wanted to make one every since, so I was so excited when she came to Cedar to teach them.   It was such a fun class, a fabulous pattern, and it was so wonderful to get to know Sandra more.  She is an amazing creative genius!!!

This bag is a Quilt-As-You-Go bag and I had so much fun with it.  I was just in a zone slapping on pieces and then quilting away.  Such a relaxing little project and so fun!!!  And of course, we all know how much I love purple, so I raided my purple scraps for this little bag.  It will reside in my sewing room, so now it will match the walls and all the mini's on the walls ;)

And in the lining, Barbara even included two little pockets.  Now it is just perfect for toting along a project and all of the supplies I need to make it.   Can't wait for a time to get to sew away now so I can try it out ;)  

And in the mean time, I think this is now going to be the home of my cute little improv basket.  It is behind my sewing machine so I can sit and enjoy how cute it is every time I sew.  Just loving it.  

Again, a huge Thank You out to Barbara for helping me finish it and to Sandra for such an awesome little design and class.  I loved it and am so excited to use my finished Improv Bag ;)

Thanks for popping in today and each day ;)  I hope you have a very Happy Quilting Weekend ;)

Linking up to Amanda's and Sarah's ;)

Fun Little Tidbits

I have a few fun things that I wanted to share with you today, so this is going to be just a little bit random and bouncy but it is all good Happy Quilting goodness ;)

First off, I want to give a huge thank you for you all for your wonderful comments on my planning for a Ruby Jubilee quilt ;)  I am happy to say that I finally made a decision.  I am going to do the red background and the white chain :)  Yippee!!!  I am using wonderful Grunge fabrics that arrived the other day and now I just can't wait to cut into them.  So pretty!!  And speaking of wonderfully fun things, oh my goodness, I just love the Moda Match Maker, especially my Grunge one!!!  It made choosing the red and white I wanted so much easier.  I knew exactly the tone, what color grunge was added to it, ect. ect.   Perfect!!!  Don't know how I ever got by without it!!  (Fat Quarter Shop  and Green Fairy Quilts carry them, just fyi :)

Second, Kimberly made kits of my Sugar Pop N Change Mini that I posted at the Moda Bake Shop in December!!!   So if you loved the mini and want to make one just like mine, or similar to mine but in green or blue, pop on over to Kimberly's Fabric Stash and get yourself a kit.  EEEkkk, I just love making Mini's ;)

And finally, My good friend Amy posted about these fabulous spreadsheets that her friends Holly and Dave of Stately Type made up.  I knew right away that they would be perfect for me.  I absolutely love checking things of "to do" lists, but the ability to check off each step of a quilt on a "to-do" list, fabulous!!!   I instantly went and grabbed a set, printed it off, and hung it on my desk by my machine.  They are downloadable and so fun and so very affordable!!!  There is also a Fabric Stash Inventory sheet that I will admit I am afraid to fill out, and a WIP to Finish one, but I added all my WIP's to my Quilts to Make in 2016, because I want to get them all done ;)     So anyhow, if you happen to like checking off lists as well, I highly recommend you pop on over and check out this trio of spreadsheets.  They really are amazing and I already have found myself squeezing in a binding or doing a little basting, just so I can check it off the list. Love it!!

And that is my fun little random tidbits for the day.  I hope you have a very Happy Quilting Day ;)
