April's Sun, Sand, And Sea Block of the Month

I know that I have enjoyed

revealing the next Block for the

This month's blocks are designed by

Carla of Creatin' in the Sticks.
You can stop in
and pick up this adorable flock
over at her blog for free
until the end of the month,
right HERE.

There is a whole lot of fun in the sun

happening in this block.

Her bird Splash from the

In Our Garden Block of the Month

decided to

trade in his bird bath for

a little fun in the sun

on a beach ball.

Isn't her design just the cutest?

For my quilt I am

using a variety

of different Timeless Treasure batik fabrics.

They have been so very fun to

play with for this hop.

For the applique,

I always use Heat n Bond Lite.

They have made

these super handy sheets that you

can stick in your printer and print out

the pattern pieces.

They worked like a dream

with these blocks.

You can find them here.

If you have missed the other

blocks you can find March's

My February Aurifil DOM Reboot Block

I like to have a bunch of projects

brewing, 

mostly because I love to stay busy.

I can't sit still for too long before

If I sit still for too long,
I believe that I am being unproductive.
A crazy thought, not to be able to just be,
but I find I am most relaxed when
I have a project or two, (maybe ten)
in the works.

So while patiently waiting

for the next block

of the

Sun, Sand, and Sea BOM,

I decided to join in the Aurifil DOM Reboot.

I had actually printed

off most of the patterns clear back from 2012,

the first time that they had held this Stitch Along.

I had very little quilting experience then,

and didn't figure to be able to finish

what I had begun.

So, to my surprise they

brought it back.

I finished the second block a few days ago.

I just love the way that this cutie turned out.
I picked my colors to embroider by matching
them to the fabrics that I was planning to use.

The fabrics are an exclusive from Craftsy.
This is my first time to try their Boundless fabrics.

My assessment of the fabrics are that they are
quilt shop quality.
The line is called Flower Shoppe. 
I love the fabrics from the pure white with floral neutral
to the navy sprinkle.
(These assessments were my own,
I was not paid for them)
Of course, the piecing of my block was
done with Aurifil 50wt. white.

I can't for the next block.
So I can start putting these
embroidered cuties together.

Not All That Wander Are Lost Mini Quilt

Hi, Y'all!!
So here is my Friday Finish.

I received the most beautiful bundle

of fabrics from Camelot Cottons.

It was Kaleidoscope.

A beautiful mix of soft

blues, aqua, purple, creams,

and some navy blue, which

made a beautiful contrast.

It really has a modern southwest feel

to the fabric.

While looking at the fabric,

I decided to try my hand at flying geese.

Here I have been quilting for

close to 5 years, and have not

made one without paper piecing it.

Sometimes, when making something

I have no plan.

I just let the fabric lead me.

This was the case with

project.  I really thought

that I would have to go back

to the drawing board,

but after I finished it,

I knew that it had to

be one of my favorites.

The quote, "Not all those who wander are lost",

is a line written in a poem by J. R. R. Tolkien.

It has to be one of my favorite quotes.

I quilted it using Aurifil 50 wt. thread

in 2311.  I used straight stitching,

and then added a few wandering lines

through them for added interest.

It is now hanging in my home.

If you would like to read

more about this quilt

and check out the pattern,

You can find it on Thermoweb. 

Stop in there and say Hello.
