Catching Up and a Valentines Throw Back

Thank you for all of the wonderful warm wishes on my Retreat I posted about last week. I had a great time and I can't wait to post more about it!!!    But in the spirit of keeping it real . . . life happened and I got sick at the retreat.  I was able to power through my last class, and then came home a night early to rest and recover.   But as things go, I came home to a sick child as well.   Which means, I still haven't unpacked and I need to clean house so . . . the quilt retreat post will just have to wait until I get things a little caught up around here ;)   Luckily, I am feeling better today, so hopefully I can get all caught up, and ready for tomorrow!!! 

So in the mean time, I thought it would be run to bring back some of these Valentines Projects that I and and bunch of my quilty friends made back in 2012!!!   I hosted a little Simply Charmed event, where I asked each of my friends to make a Valentines project using a Charm Pack.   And look at how great these are!!!  And since they just use a Charm Pack, you can still whip them up in time for Thursday ;)


Here's my project . .  the Knotty Little Apron Tutorial


 Heather from Quilt Story shared this adorable  Heart Garland Tutorial


 Amy from Diary of a Quilter shared this fantastic Scrappy Nine Patch Table Quilt Tutorial


 Natalia from Piece N Quilt made these super adorable Trio of Pillows Tutorial


Jessica from Twin Fibers shared this super practical Valentine Card Keeper Tutorial


Katie from Swim, Bike, Quilt made a fun XOXO Zippered Pouch Tutorial


Corey from Little Miss Shabby shared this gorgeous Shabby Heart Pillow Tutorial

Everything but the Kitchen Sink

I am off to go teach in beautiful Bryce Canyon at the Quilty Friends Retreat!!!   I am so excited ;)   And what with teaching last week at the Cedar Quilt Retreat, and getting ready for this retreat, and getting a last minute secret sewing project in the mail . . .  I didn't have time to do a few scheduled posts.   So it's going to be a little quiet around here for the next few days.  But no worries, I will have lots of fun to stuff to share when I get back.  And I will try to remember to posts pictures at the Retreat on Facebook and Instagram, but I admit, I am not great at remembering that, so no promises ;)


And please tell me that when you go to a retreat, you feel like you are packing Everything but the Kitchen Sink.     I am not the only one that has endless amounts of bags and carrying totes right ;)

Threadology QAL - Ohio Star Blocks

It's February 1st and that means it is the start of the Threadology Quilt Along hosted by the Fat Quarter Shop!!!!  Today I am so excited to share the first set of  blocks!!!  These first set of blocks are Ohio Star blocks and they are just so much fun to piece!!!!  Look at all of those fun points and I just love making classic quilt blocks ;)



So on the 1st and the 15th of of each month for the next 4 months, there will be a new Threadology Block released.  And was you can see, the blocks are in two sizes.   A larger 12" block that is great to piece and goes together in a snap.  And the second is a super cute 6" block that is wonderful for building technique of piecing with smaller sizes :)   They are both just so fun to make!!! 


So are you joining in the Threadology fun???  If so, you can download the block pattern right here and it is requested for each pattern you download to donate $5.00  to the Make a Wish Foundation :)  This is Fat Quarter Shop's annual charity QAL that is raising funds for an amazing organization.  What a wonderful way for us all to make a difference !!   And Fat Quarter Shop and Moda will match up to $20,000 of the donations raised.  So let's help them reach that goal ;)  


This year it is all about Fat Quarters for this Quilt Along and after some playing around in my stash, I decided to use a collection of Bonnie and Camille fabrics that I have stashed for a while now.  And the Original quilt kits are all sold out, but of course, you can use any fabrics.   If you haven't gotten them yet, you can find the Fabric Requirements here ;) 


And as soon as you go to start making your blocks, you will see that I am changing things up a bit. If you remember from this post  I am planning to donate this quilt to the Festival of Trees so I wanted to do a more universal layout ;)   I am super excited to see all this patchwork goodness come together!!!


And speaking of making your blocks . . .  like always, Fat Quarter Shop has made awesome  You Tube video tutorials that walk you through making each month's blocks.  There are some great helpful hints and you can see it put together step by step!!!   






Be sure to share all of your Threadology progress on social media with #threadologyquiltalong and check out Fat Quarter Shops post for Block 1 for lots more Ohio Star Block Inspiration!!!


And that's it for the first block in the Threadology Quilt Along!!!!   I will continue to share a new set of blocks on the 15th and 1st of each month.  So fun!!!  So what do you say, wan't to come Threadology Quilting Along??  You are going to have so much fun!!!

Thanks for popping in today ;)  Have a Happy Quilting Day!!
