June Sew Sampler!

Well, here we are half way through July, and I just realized I never got to share my June Sew Sampler Box  :)    I blame summer . . . but it's worth the wait because this box is just filled with wonderful quilty goodness!!!   Handpicked for you was the perfect theme for the month :) 

It's starts out with 5 beautiful Fat Quarters from Fig Tree & Co. new All Hallow's Eve line.  And even through this is a Halloween line, you can totally use these beautiful oranges and green in any fall festive project ;)  And how cute will they look in that adorable Orange You Glad pattern!!!  I love the flying geese with the oranges, so cute!!!   

And the notions for this month's box are a whole mix of great!!!   First up, this adorable macaroon storage container.  I just love this little guy!!!  I have already started using it to store some of my tiny pins, so fun!!!   And you can never have enough rotary blades so this Fiskars 45 mm Blade was a wonderful find ;)   And finally, this Spot On Magnify Lens will be great for classes, as I often have students with trouble seeing their ruler markings, especially those 7/8" ones ;)

And with a new box also means a new Block!!   .This year we are working on the Greatest Hits Quilt and this block is Track 3  ;)   I have to say, this is one of the big reasons this is so late to be posted, and it wasn't even a hard block.  I just had to make the time to sort through my scraps to find a fun and funky low volume background that matched.  Isn't that just great!!!

And just a note, if you are wanting to get in on the new year of Sew Sampler boxes you have to get in line.  There is currently a waiting list as the box subscription is full.   But hopefully the wait isn't to long.  (I have been told new spots open up each week!!!)


And that is the June Sew Sampler Box and now we only have to wait like two week's for July's!!!  Talk about a little silver lining :)

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

Bloomtopia - Finished!!!

It's the final day of the Bloom-Topia Quilt Along hosted by the Fat Quarter Shop and I am thrilled to be sharing my finished quilt!!!!  This has been such a fun quilt to make and I am so excited with how much was raised for  Make a Wish Foundation :)  I just love participating in Fat Quarter Shop's annual charity QAL as not only do I finish with a beautiful quilt, but it also benefits so many wonderful people!!!

I did not do the 2020 Pieced Backing, just a basic one so I didn't bother to take a picture of it.  But if you want to do the original backing, you can find the Backing Pattern Here.    My layout is totally different than the original pattern so the original backing would not have fit ;)  And there are links at the end of this post to all of the alterations I did, just in case you want to make your Bloomtopia quilt with the same layout as mine ;)  

And when it came time to quilt mine, I decided on an all over loose feather.  Mostly because it is super fast, and this was a super big quilt that I quilted all of yesterday.   So a quick and pretty design was just the trick.  And I just love all of the beautiful texture it adds to the quilt!!!

I can't even begin to say how much I have enjoyed this QAL!!!  This is my 6th year participating in the annual Charity Quilt Along (2015 Snapshots, 2016 Crossroads, 2017 Patchwork,  2018 Clementine, 2019 Threadology, and this year 2020 Bloomtopia) .   And I have loved it every bit as much as the previous years and now I just get to look forward to next year's !!!!

But before we start looking to next year, there is still a little fun left for this 2020 Bloomtopia Quilt Along!!!  Both Sherri and Chelsi, and Pat Sloan are acutioning off their Bloomtopia quilts and all the funds raised will go to Make a Wish Foundation.  Isn't that so great!!!  You can see all of the details of the auction at the Jolly Jabber :)   The auction ends July 25th and the winners and fundraiser results will be announced August 1st :) 

   

Be sure to share all of your Bloom-Topia finishes on social media with #bloomtopiaquiltalong!!!    I can't wait to see all of your quilt tops!!!!   What an amazing QAL and here is to looking forward to 2021's Charity QAL!!!!

Just Poppin In

Hi All,  Just poppin in today to say hello.  Things have been a little quiet this last week as I have been up the mountain at a family reunion.   And I have to say, days without wifi are so refreshing!!!  I just loved getting to spend time with my loved ones away from the world and all the crazy.  And the mountains are just so beautiful, what a wonderful time for my family and all of our extended Corry family. 

And seriously, every one of my kids can out hike me now, including the 8 year old.   They are just growing up!!!  

 We have another family reunion, another overnight hike, and a few more day trips planned for the next few weeks, so if things are a little quiet, just know I am still here and squeezing in some quilting here and there.  And I am sure I will get back to regular sharing as soon as the kids go back to school.   Side note . . . we just found out this week they get to go back to actual physical school and everyone in this household is so excited!!!!

Be back tomorrow with Terrific Tuesday Giveaway Day ;)

Happy Quilting!!!
