Wish on a Star Quilts!!

 So you might recall a year ago I shared a quilt top for the Wandering Fabrics blog tour.   At the time I said "pattern coming soon".   Famous last words right :)   Well, it took me a while to quilt, and then I got the pictures done, and was about to start working on the pattern, when I just felt like something was missing.   So I sat on it for a while.   And it wasn't until just recently when I pulled out the designs again and started playing with it that I decided it needed some cornerstones, or should I say cornerstars!!!    I drafted it up in EQ and loved it!!!  It was just what it needed. So now I have new Wishes quilts in the making.  Pattern Coming Soon, wink, wink :)

Which is all a very long introduction to saying I now can share these two original Wishes that I have renamed Wish on a Star quilts!!  I love that these are now just fun finishes to share and my daughter has already claimed this for her bed, so that makes me smile too!!!    So without further ado, here is my Wish on a Star queen size quilt!!

Aren't those colors just so pretty.   Unfortunately, they are a little hard to photograph as they are all so light, but they are just so soft and gorgeous.   Don't they just look like twinkling stars at night.  So fun!!!   When I release the pattern, (hopefully soon) it will still be the same block construction, just with a little bonus and it is Fat Quarter Friendly.   So no worries if you want to make this quilt, just give me a little time :)   

And don't you just love the texture in the picture above!!!   I had some fun with the quilting of this one and just love the way it turned out.   I did all over traveling feathers in the background, Ribbon Candy and Wishbones in the lattice prints, and pebbles and straight lines in the center star.   I just love how it makes it shine all the brighter :)

This is a queen size quilt, but it only takes 16 blocks so that is fun and fast!!!   And I am just thrilled my daughter is loving it.   We just repainted her room to have a coastal feel and these colors match really great.  Although I should mention, she wants me to make an improv wave quilt in solids, but she is happy this temporarily matches until I can make her a new one ;)  Gotta love it!!!

I also made a baby size that I just think is so cute!!!  You all know how I love making Baby Quilts!!!  I just love how fast and fun they are to make and yet you get such an adorable finish ;)

I used Rifle Paper Company's Wonderland fabric for this design and I just love the bright happy colors and how they pop on that grey background.  I really am loving using colored backgrounds, especially for baby quilts, so fun!!!

And I just quilted this with an all over open centered swirl and I love how they look like little bubbles.   This is a favorite quilting design and it really is relaxing just swirling all over the quilt.  

So those are my Wish on a Star quilts and I am so glad I am finally sharing them.  And I hope to have the new Wishes quilts done and ready to share soon.   (as in less than a year, tee hee hee ;) 

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

August Sew Sampler!!!

August is just about gone, and wow, what a month.  This last week has actually felt a little "normal" so great!!!!   And it meant I actually got my Sew Sampler Box, opened and the block made before the end of the month!!!  And it was a great one to unbox with the theme of Rise and Shine, and doesn't that just make you smile ;)   And then what was inside really made me smile ;)  

First I unboxed these beautiful Backyard Blooms Charm Packs by Allison Harris for Windham Fabrics.   And you all know how much I love Charm Packs!!!!  Know I can't decide if I want to use them to make another Charming Baby Quilt (because how cute would Hugs and Kisses Quilt be in this line) or this super adorable Crazy Daisy pattern.   I just love those fun stars in the chain, so great!!!  

And next came the notions and of course, they totally match for the fabric and pattern!!!  (I just love how Fat Quarter Shop does that!!!)   I am so excited about this Rotating Cutting Mat.  It is the perfect size for trimming a giant stack of HST's while sitting on my bed watching Pride and Prejudice :)    And I for sure will be needing that Crazy Quilt Paper if I make Crazy Daisy, which even if I don't use this fabric for, I am sure I will make sometime.  It's just to cute not to!!!   And finally, Quilting Between Needles from Dritz, which I won't use as I am not much of a hand stitcher but I can restock Barbara for when she does my bindings :)  

And last, but not least . . . a new box means a new Block!!   .This year we are working on the Greatest Hits Quilt and this block is Track 5  ;)   I am really getting excited to see these blocks come together, they are going to make such a fun sampler quilt!!! 

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 August Sew Sampler Box!!!  
I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day . . . Let's make this a great week!!! 

Back to School

So we are back to school at our house this week!!!  I am so very grateful that my kids are able to go back to school this year.  I know this is not the case for everyone, and I know it might not last the whole year, so I am just so glad for them for whatever time they get to go to school.  They so missed their teachers and friends, and I don't think they have ever been so excited for summer to end ;)

Spencer is a Senior this year (what!!!!) and Jessica is a Sophomore.   

And of course, we had to take mask pictures this year ;)

Kristian is in 8th Grade and Kamryn is in 6th Grade and gets to go to the Middle School this year.

I am so glad we made lots of masks as they sure love getting to pick a new mask each day :)  

And Jocelyn is our only one left in Elementary School and is in 3rd Grade this year!!

And according to her, we need to make even more masks so she has one to match each of her outfits ;)

I think we can manage that ;)

And in the mean time, I am stitching up a storm.  Even though my kids are older and don't need my constant watching over them, I am still blown away with how much more I can get done in a day when I have zero interruptions.   I am sure I will miss all of their "mom, can I??" in a few weeks, but right now I am just enjoying the quiet and stitching like no one is watching, because they aren't :)

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