August's Aurifil DOM Block

I am not as far behind as it 

might look with the

Aurifil DOM 

Block of the Month.

I forgot to take a couple pictures 

of the blocks that I just 

finished in the last few weeks.

Waiting on kids 

and not being able to be near a sewing 

machine can get you caught up 

a lot quicker on these embroidered 

beauties. 

Here is August's block.

I really love how dainty

and pretty this one turned out. 

Here are the other two that 

I had taken previous pictures of.

I can't wait to show you the rest of them.

The fabrics I am using are

from Craftsy own collection.

It is called Flower Shoppe.

If you are looking for August's

block you can find it here.

I sure hope I can catch up 

with the couple that I have 

missed during the summer months.

Wish me luck!!

Perfect Christmas Present Pillow

I am sure that it has crossed most of 

our minds that Christmas is

coming.

Did you realize that

it is less than 100 days away.

I really can't believe it myself.

With that realization, 

there is so many things to prepare 

before I get busy with 

family dinners and holiday outings.

I am always trying to 

decorate my home with my 

own personal style, 

so I did just that with my newest creation.

 I am over at Thermoweb today

giving a quick and easy pillow tutorial, 

that won't take you hours to complete

And it turns out just adorable.

Now I have big plans to make several of these 

Christmas cuties to line my couch.

If you are looking for some fun Christmas project to 

help you get a head start on the 

holidays.

Look no further, you can find all types of 

fun crafty fabric and paper projects this week

on their blog

And there is also nothing like a sale for 

National Sewing Month to get you prepared 

for all that holiday sewing.

Stop in at Thermoweb and enter promo code

SEWHAPPY for your discount

on all the Thermoweb products to 

make one or many Christmas Present Pillows.

The Nutcracker Christmas Row and a Giveaway

Marian at Seams to Be Sew decided that this year's 

row along would have a Christmas theme.

Christmas time is one of my favorite times of the year.

So of course, I had to join in.

Go to her blog to get all the info about

this hop and giveaways HERE.

I first thought to do the 12 days of Christmas, 

but then was totally unsure I 

could fit all of the characters in one row.

Then, I thought of my children's love

for anything Nutcracker, so 

here is my take on it.

The row is 12 1/2" x 36 1/2".

It is a combination of piecing and applique.

For any applique project, I always use

HeatnBond Lite, which you can purchase 

many supplies here.

A great sponsor of this hop was 

Northcott fabrics.  They have such a beautiful

selection of blender fabrics.

The face, boots, hair, and cheeks are all

from the TOSCANA Collection.

The rest of the fabrics are from

my giant stash that I am trying to make 

a lot smaller.

If you would like a copy of the 

pattern, please visit my Craftsy Page.

It will be free of charge until September 18th.

At that time, there will be a small fee.

And now how about a giveaway, 

a beautiful bundle of fabrics from Michael Miller.

Remember, that the winner is responsible

for the shipping. 

Please read any rules at Seams to be Sew

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Please go and visit all of the 

blogs that are also showing off their rows today.

Lady of the Lake Quilt Along

Fat Quarter Shop is

having a fun Quiltalong.

I was to make just one block to 

show off, but

I enjoyed the piecing of the one

block that I made a quilt.

The pattern is the

Lady of the Lake Quiltalong

created by the

Fat Quarter Shop
To make this quilt, 

you can find the

FQS Video Tutorial Here

and

Free Block Pattern Here

They have a beautiful quilt kit
featuring The Good Life
by Bonnie and Camille.

I absolutely love the ease and vintage style
of this pattern.
It went perfectly with the fat quarter bundle of
Hello Jane from Windham and
some of Moda's Newspaper print fabric, 
that has been in my stash for awhile.


Well, I  actually enjoyed piecing this quilt,
that I have blocks enough for a second that is not
yet completely pieced together.
Now, just to get the two finished and quilted
and ready for the winter month ahead of us.

I just found complete joy in creating this.
Stop in the Fat Quarter Shop
for the complete pattern.
