In Our Garden: Half Way Point

I can't believe that we are

to the half way point

for the

I hope that you are all enjoying

the blocks as much as I am.

This month's blocks are

created by an artist, who I expected

would have had a moose in her garden,

but she chose to surprise me.

They are created by

Joan of Moosestash Quilting

Block # 11

The "Not" so Tricky Garden

Block #12

Funky Flower Pot

Joan is using

Pen and Inked fabrics by

Connecting Threads.

The patterns for Blocks 11 & 12 are available for free

until the end of the month of July.

Go and check out her blog to see how to pick them up. 

She is also having a giveaway for

The Fat Quarter Shop!

Here are my versions of her beautiful blocks made from

 Riley Blake Calico Days by Lori Holt and

a few other Riley Blake fabrics.

I absolutely love that snail.

In Our Garden BOM Fabric and Sponsors Announcement

The Block of the Month is
drawing nearer.

and there has been a few question about how much
fabric will be needed.
Pat from Life in the Scrapatch,
one of the Block of the Month designers,
has made a display of some
fabric requirement for the
blocks that we will be creating.
If you choose to make all 24. 
This way you can get a good feel for how much fabric
you will need for the background.

I have been busy working away on my block for you
and here is an  idea for what colors you might
choose for your applique block.

A background fabric of your choice,
several green fabrics, black,
and the yellow and blue can be
changed to colors of you choice.
So you will need either Aurifil 12 wt. in black
or some DMC black embroidery floss
There is just a touch of hand-stitching,
don't worry it is nothing that is too technical.
You will see when the block is released.


Here are just a few of the companies that
were generous enough to sponsor giveaways!
There will be more to come....

I am really looking forward to each month!

I sure hope that you will be joining us.
