Time to Surf - March's Sun, Sand, and Sea Block

Did it seem like forever for

March to get here?

Were you as excited for the next

block for the

as I was?

Carol of Just Let Me Quilt

designed this month's

block. 

It is crazy cute!

A lot of Sun, Sand, and Sea

in this block.

I just love the van!!

I still have to add the license plate.

I just haven't decided what to add on it

quite yet.

For the whole quilt I will be using a variety

of different Timeless Treasure batik fabrics.

I really like the way that

they are fitting the theme of the quilt.

It is way different from any

quilt I have done before.

Be sure to stop by

Just Let Me Quilt

Here are the rest of the block designers

of the Sun, Sand, and Sea BOM.

Each has a different fabric

they are using for their blocks.

Riley Blake.

Carla of Createin in the Sticks

Coffee + Me = Awesome Quilt Pattern and Winners

I finally had a chance

to write a pattern

for a quilt that I had

sitting around the house.

I have loved the pattern to

this quilt for quite some time

and never had a chance to write it up.

I sent the pattern to one

of my dear quilting friends,

Joan of Moosestash Quilting,

she wanted to sew it up for me

to test to out.

I never expected that she would

have the quilt top completed within a day's time.

Then, she had it

quilted and bound within a week.

I absolutely love the way hers

turned out, but I am not going to show you

the whole quilt. 

I will let you stop by her blog and check out

her version of my pattern.

I am really loving the

cup and heart

in shades of aqua and red.

If you would like to pick up  the pattern it is one sale

until February 14th.

Your little Valentine's present from me. 

You can find it HERE.

And if you haven't notice the other goings

on we have a new Block of the Month

happening as we speak.

Sun, Sand, and Sea.

Here is the first block,

Hello Sunshine!

It is not too late to join in the fun,

since we just began on

February 1st.

The pattern can be found HERE.

We are having prizes for

this hop as well, so.. (hint, hint)

You might be lucky enough to

pick yourself up

a lovely little gift for yourself.

Also, I am drawing

the winners for

the December and January link party

for the In Our Garden BOM.

They are Donna Valencich

and Angela Belcher.

Donna Valencich and Janice Grygla will each

be sent a beautiful set of fabrics

of Henry Glass fabrics.

I am sure she will have a ball with them all.

Angela will be getting

a thread set donated by Aurifil threads

and a handy thread chart.

Thank you to all of you who kept up

with the block of the month

and I hope you plan on joining us for

the 2017 BOM.

A Bushel and a Peck Table Topper

Not only have I been busy getting the

Sun, Sand, and Sea Block of the

Month ready, but I have also

been working on a table topper

for Thermoweb. 

With some of the most adorable fabrics,

I do believe that I have seen. 

It is Just Another Walk in the Woods.

It has such a beautiful mix of pinks, reds, whites,

and a lovely green. (One of my favorite colors).

I spent a lot of time quilting it up.

It has to be one of my favorites.

I am thinking of adding

a little hand-quilting border to it.

Here is the whole topper.

"I Love You a Bushel and a Peck"

a favorite that was sung when the kids

were little.

You can grab the free pattern

over at Thermoweb. 

Stop and leave a comment while

you are there.

And if you missed the first block to the

Sun, Sand, and Sea BOM

What is the beach without a little Sunshine,

So of course our first block would be a.........

Nothing like the warmth of it against your skin

while your toes are on the waters edge.

But before I share the block pattern

with you, I would introduce our

very first sponsor of this Block of the Month
