Christmas in July with Blend Fabrics and Thermoweb

What better way to start to get the jump

on Christmas than to start in July.

Well, at least that is what my

plans were for this year.

I received so Merry Christmas mail

with this beautiful bunch of

fabrics, Snowflake Waltz by Blend.

They were full of all these cute little characters.

That were just waiting to find there way to

my dining room table in the form of

placemats for Christmas.

I spent a little extra time fussy cutting

each of the character, but it was so worth it.

If you would like the complete instructions,

please visit Thermoweb for the free pattern.

July's Sun, Sand, and Sea Block

Have you all been keeping up with

the Sun, Sand, and Sea BOM?

We are on our 6th block and I am so

excited to show it to you. 

It is an adorable border to

add around your June block.

You have a choice as well,

you can either choose to paper

piece your border or applique it.

I chose to paper piece the cute little fish.

If you have never done paper piecing

before, this is a great beginner pattern.

It is straight forward and turns out too cute.

We have Carla of Creatin in the Sticks

to thank for this cutie.

It looks so adorable around

June's block.

You can pick up the pattern for

the border at Creatin in the Sticks for free until

the end of the month of July.

Two Years in the Making

I try my hardest to finish

quilts that I start.

I do have a few quilt tops that

have yet to be quilted.

This monster of a quilt sat in

my quilting room closet for

two long years.

I had every intention of quilting it

by hand because of it's size.

It is 118" x 102".

My poor sewing machine would

never be able to handle it.

Or maybe like, I would not be able to. 

I looked at it several times,

thinking, I will never finish this

and that would just not do.

So, I packed it up and sent it off

to be quilted.

(Let me tell you, it

wasn't easy to let it go)

This was to be the first quilt that

I had not quilted.

I just got it back a few days ago and

have had it long enough to put the

binding on it.

I absolutely love the way it turned out.

I chose a poppy design for the entire quilt.

It would have taken me years to complete

and I would have never been able

to give it to its intended owner

without knowing my limitations.

And so Here is my big Finish!

(I hope my parents are enjoying

their new quilt.  Only a few years late!!)

A big thank you to Missouri Star Quilt Company

for taking such good care of it.
