August Sew Sampler Box!!

 My August Sew Sampler Box arrived in the mail and I was just so super excited to open it up!!!  I even managed not to peek on Instagram this month, so it was a total surprise!!!  And the theme of Cute as a Button totally fits this month, because everything is just adorable!!!    August's Sew Sampler Box is just so cute!!! 


I just love this adorable In Stitches exclusive quilt pattern!!!  Isn't that just so adorable, what a cute baby quilt it will make!!   And the Stitch Jolly Bar by Lori Holt for Riley Blake Designs is just perfect for making it.  I love all of those adorable vintage designs and colors ;)  Yup, this one is adding to the "to Make" list.  


And the notions this month are also just so cute and handy as well!!!!  I love these adorable Stitch Buttons also by Lori Holt.   I don't know what I will use them for yet, but I am sure they will notch up the cute factor on several quilts.  I just love the little detail in each button ;)   And the Tiny Trinket Tin is just so adorable!!  It even has a second hidden lid, just to cute ;)   I am going to keep these buttons in it for now, until I decide what to use them for.   And finally, the Pastel Slap and Wrap Peels from Gypsy Quilter are just awesome.   Think slap bracelets for all of your tubes of interfacing, triangles on a roll, ect.   So great for keeping things neat and tidy!!!  


And finally, a new month means a new block ;)   Here is  Block 5 of the Bright Side Quilt along!!   Isn't that heart just so cute!!!   I am just loving these blocks in all of the Basic Grey goodness!!    And I am still thinking of making a second block of each month in all basic grunge in neutral tones.  I need to get going on that before I get to far behind :)


And just a note,  Sew Sampler boxes currently have No Waiting List!!!  So you can sign up right away and get a box on your door step next month!!! So fun :)  

And that is August's  Sew Sampler Box!!  Looking forward to seeing what next month will bring ;)

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

3 Iron Giants Quilts!!

 Well, today was the opening of the Iron Giants Mountain Biking Team  season and I was able to finish up these quilts for my two mountain bikers just in time!!!  (as in last night at 10, tee hee hee)   Aren't they just so fun!!  I mean, does it get better then a custom rally quilts for your team :)    They bike at a place called Three Peaks, that looks a lot like the peaks in the quilt, hence the inspiration for little "mountain geese".   


I used the Spell it With Moda Letters for the Iron Giants and did the quilt in the team colors.   That is Kona Carrot, Kona Jade Green, Kona Charcoal and Kona Black.    Don't you just love that there are so many color options in solids, makes it so easy to match it perfectly :)  



I also used my little Slice to cut out my kids names and the biking Logo's.  GRiT is for Girls Riding Trails and BRuH is for Boys Riding Hills.   Unfortunately, I wasn't told until after I had already appliqued them on that the u and the i are supposed to be lower case.   Luckily, they don't mind, they still think they are super cool and used them to stay warm at the race early this morning before the sun came out :)  


When it came time to quilt them, I wanted to try and make it look like "bike trails", so I opted for wavy lines moving across the quilt.   Always an easy design, but oh so much walking back and forth in front of the longarm.   I certainly got in a workout as well :)    Oh, and it is a bit hard to tell in the picture, but I alternated colored threads for the team colors as well.   Fun!!!


Oh, and why three quilts you ask . . . I can't begin to thank the Coaches for what they have done for my kiddo's!!!   Being a part of this team has really helped them to grow into the amazing little people they are.   So what better way to say thank you than with a quilt :)  


And just in case you are wondering . . . the race was awesome!!!  It was Kami's first time officially racing and she loved it (can you tell :)   We are so proud of these two.  Kristian (Nader for short) races later today and we are excited to cheer him on as well!!!  


And I didn't even know it when I was designing the quilts . . . but their uniforms this year totally match!!!  How fun is that, made this mama's heart happy!!   I am so glad to have these three quilts done, they were super fun to make, but I will say, making three of the exact same quilts can get a little monotonous.  But they were totally worth it to see my kiddo's smile from ear to ear this morning!!!


And that is it for today!  I got to head back to the race course in a few ;)

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

Now in Shops!!!

 You all were so sweet when I shared my Roadside Harvest  by Corey Yoder that I made for Moda Fabrics a few weeks ago!!!  Thank you so much!!  And since so many of you loved these Cozy Up fabrics by  Corey Yoder I wanted to let you know that the wait is over as they are shipping to quilt shops everywhere ;)  Yippee!!!  


And if you wanted to make the Roadside Harvest quilt just like mine, the Roadside Harvest Quilt Kit is now available as well!!!  The kit has the Roadside Harvest pattern, a Fat Eighth Bundle, the Buffalo Check yardage for the pumpkins, the green yardage for the grass, and the fabric for the Border and Binding.    It is a great value and an easy way to get started on this quilt right away :)   You can have it made up for this Fall!!      


And speaking of Kits . . .  You might recall the Starlite Sampler Quilt I shared back in February . . . Well, it is finally in shops as well!!  This just became available this week, but it was well worth the wait ;)  And I have to smile every time I see the Starlite Sampler Quilt Kit   picture, because that is my quilt.   So fun!!!   

The Starlite Sampler uses Sweetwater's new Christmas line, Red Barn Christmas.   And this line includes the cutest panel that is used to make all of the patchwork red and green blocks!!!   And I love that the other blocks include simple Applique ;)    Such a fun and fast quilt to make!!!  You could totally make this up in time for Christmas and wouldn't it just be the sweetest gift!!



It is just so exciting that fabrics are starting to catch up with their shipping dates ;)   

And I am so excited for these two quilt to come home.   Such fun!!!

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day ;)
