EQ7: Seasons Row-A-Long & Giveaways

Welcome to my day of the
 

This is the final week to share

the rows that have been created.

 

I hope that you had a chance to check out

all the previous week's rows.  You can find the schedule here.

Thanks to Maria at Seams To Be Sew.  She has worked hard to get

amazing sponsors for this blog hop.

You can also see some blocks and color inspiration

on

  Facebook and Flickr.

 

Were you able to figure out what my row is?

I gave a few hints.

 

 

 

I choose Summer, because

it means time to enjoy my family with

absolutely no distractions.

Just the Water and a time or two in the Sand.
(It's hard to find much sand next to water in Colorado.)

 

This is my row.

SURF and SAND.

 

 A little Waves and Flip Floppin' Fun!
It is relatively easy pieced row
with a little applique.
 

 

I have had EQ7 for about three years.

I am no expert at it,

but all the quilts that I complete are

ones that I have drawn up in EQ7 first.

For this, it was no different.

I knew that I wanted water in my

block.  For me it represents fishing trips,

swimming pools and summer vacations.

I just love the water.

When looking through EQ, I notices that the

Monkey Wrench block resembled a wave.

 

 

I thought that I would build on a block

that was already in EQ.

First, I added that block in my sketchbook.

Then, I started working away.

I like to go to the coloring option on the block

to see what I need to do to change it around.

 

 

I know that the block is close,

but I need to change a few things.

 

 

After changing the color on a few areas and adding a line or two,

I ended up with this. 

 

 

This is close, but I knew that I wanted

to add Flip Flops and change the row

a bit.

 

 That is one the great features of EQ7.

You can edit parts of the block by using the arrow in the upper left corner

and making a box around that area.

 

 

In  this picture, I rotated the inner box.

You can manipulate and play with

the blocks that are already in the EQ7 Library.

 

I could play and manipulate

different blocks and colors for hours.

This is the final block that I created.

 

 

It is a mix between piecing and applique.

You can find my FREE Row pattern HERE.   

You will have to register on Craftsy in order to get the pattern.

 

 

 

Instead of using applique on the flip flop strap,

I used DecoFoil in Lime. 

It adds a bit of bling to the block.

A New Addition

 We have a new furry addition to

our family

 

a rambunctious pointer mix that

is keeping the kids, cats,

and myself busy.

He is a bit camera shy.

He was awake but was choosing to

play possum. 

 



 Silly puppy! 

He made it to our home

from a shelter. 

 

Of course, I had to make

him feel at home and

make him

a little something.

 

You can find what I created for

him over at  Therm-o-Web.

Row-A-Long Progress

 

Have you been following along with the

 

 

Here are a few of the rows that I

choose to sew together.

 

 

  First, I made Marlene Oddie's at Kissed Quilts , dogwood row. 

I decided to add a few extra flowers and make it a

cherry tree.  I love being able to sew something that makes it more

ME!!

The flowers were easy to paper piece together and

I love the end result.

 

 

 

Next, a little Red, White, and Blue, from

 Doris Rice at The Quilting Queen Online

I am absolutely a sucker for a little

patriotic quilting.  

Again, I switched the watermelons

with a few patriotic pinwheels.

 

 

Last for this week, 

a little bit of Christmas from

Lynn Provencher at Thimblemouse & Spouse

 

 

This is my first Row-A-Long and I

love the fact that I used all

of my stash for the blocks

except for the beautiful white and sky blue

which was generously supplied by Northcott Fabrics.
