Fast & Fun Lap Quilts!!!

It's officially one week away from the release date of my new book, Fast & Fun Lap Quilts!!! And that means it is almost time to start the Fast & Fun Lap Quilts Book Tour with all kinds of Quilting Eye Candy and lots of Layer Cake Giveaways!!!    And I attempted a video, I really have no idea what I am doing, but it gives you an idea of all the quilty goodness in this Fast & Fun Lap Quilts Book :)

I just can't wait to share all of the quilts from Fast & Fun Lap Quilts with you.   And I am super excited to have lots of Quilty Friends that will be sharing their quilts from Fast & Fun Lap Quilts as well.  Isn't it just so fun how 1 Layer Cake and some background fabric can make so many amazing quilts!!! 

                    Aurora                                          Diamond Dash                         Dutch Days

               Keystone Corners                        Merry Go Round                            Puzzle Box

                Three In A Row                               Treasured                                     Jacks

I was super lucky to teach one of the quilts from Fast & Fun Lap Quilts at Garden of Quilts last week.    We had such a fun time sewing up blocks from the Aurora Quilt and I was just thrilled with all of the amazing progress everyone made!!!  Aren't their blocks just stunning!!!  And there is even a sneak peek of a new version of Aurora there in the background. (Needed a sample for class as my quilts from Fast & Fun Lap Quilts are currently in transit ;)  

And this class brings me to one of the things that I am most excited about for Fast & Fun Lap Quilts!!!  I know we are not all able to attend classes due to distance, so when writting this book, I tried to give you all of the hints and tips and tricks that I would share if you were in my class.   The book is just full of these happy little highlighted boxes that share lots of quilty goodness so that making these quilts truly is Fun and also Fast!!! 

Fast & Fun Lap Quilts releases October 3, so there is only one week left to wait for them to be in your local quilt shops and for the Book Tour to Begin!!!  I am so super excited for that!!!      But I actually got some advanced copies and have listed them in my Etsy Shop, so you can get them pre-release as well.    Oh, and I know, shipping cost stink, so I gave you a little discount on the price of the book :)  

 Thanks for popping in today!!

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

Nordic Nights - HQM Quilt 25

It's Week 25 of the Happy Quilting Marathon and I am excited to share another Happy Quilting Marathon Quilt.   And wow, this one was pushing to get it done this week and I quilted, and bound the entire queen size quilt today, but I am super thrilled to share it!!!    Nordic Nights sure looks pretty in happy Spring colors!!!! 

This pattern is one of my Happy Quilting patterns and I just love making it.  It really is a fun pattern to make and uses my Modified Drunkard Path Templates.  And yes, It is curved piecing, but it truly is not as difficult as we make it out to be in our heads.  I have a step by step tutorial here for using these templates, and it only takes a few blocks practice to really get the hang of it ;)  This is the queen size version, and it finishes at 95" x 95".  

These fabrics are Painted Meadow by Robin Pickens for Moda Fabrics.  The line is a few years old, as I was originally making this for a Charity Quilt to auction off at UQSM but then good ol Covid hit, and the retreat got cancelled.  Now that it is all done, I think I will find another Charity event to donate it to.  It's just such a pretty quilt, and I feel like that was it's intended purpose to start, and should be it's finish as well ;)   

And even though I quilted it all today, I still wanted to do custom quilting on this!!!  It took a little longer, but was totally worth it.   I used my original Nordic Nights quilting plan as a jumping off point, and then altered it to make it a little faster ;)   Still pretty feathers in the background, but I quilted them all in one direction and then changed the block centers to wavy lines to highlight the star.   Then all over paisleys in the blocks, but I just used a nice pink thread that matched with all the colors ;)  I just love the way it turned out, and still got it done in time for HQM this week!!!  Wouldn't want to miss the deadline with only 1 more to go :)  

 And truly, I am just thrilled that this quilt is done!!!!  I was saving it towards the end because I really wanted to quilt it up fancy, and I am so glad that even with a time crunch, I still did it up pretty fancy.   I am just so happy to have another version of my Nordic Nights quilt and I excited to find out where it can do some good.  

And that is Quilt #25 - Nordic Nights ;)  25 Down and only 1 more quilt to go in the Happy Quilting Marathon :)   Oh my goodness, so, so, so close!!!  

And that is it for today, thanks for popping in to share this finish with me!!! 

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

Spooky Box 2022!!!

It's that time of year . . . when the Annual Spooky Box  arrives in the mail!!!    This years box is filled with so much amazing Spooky Quilting Goodness!!!   Now just to get some of it whipped up before the end of next month ;)   

I was thrilled to find this super fun Petite 10" Stacker of Bad To The Bone by My Mind's Eye.   Halloween for me is all about "cute" Halloween, and these prints are just so fun!!   And that Scary Faces quilt . . . how adorable is that!!!  The little ghosts are my favorite, just so cute!!!   

And the notions that  Fat Quarter Shop sent along this month are just so fun!!!! It was fun to see what color thread and clips I got in my Mystery Bag ;)   And the Thread Conditioner will be great for a friend that loves hand sewing (we all know hand sewing is pretty spooky for me :)   And the SewTites pin in just to fun for Halloween ;)  

What a super fun Spooky Box!!!  And just fyi, the Spooky Box is still available but is going quick.   If you hurry, you can get your Scary Faces Quilt made in time for Halloween this year ;)   

Hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!!
