Riley Blake Designs Bee Basics Project Tour

It's my day to be a part of the Bee Basic Project Tour for Riley Blake Designs. The new fabric line is a vintage quilting collection by Lori Holt of "Bee in My Bonnet" that is great for apparel, quilting, or home decor. The colors and designs are beautiful!

My quilt, Busy Bee Garden, measures 50" x 50" and uses five different fabrics from Bee Basics: Polka Dot Turquoise, Heart Blue, Stitched Flower Yellow, Tiny Daisy Macaroni, and Polka Dot Gray.


Polka Dot Gray for binding



The wagon wheel in our backyard is a great place to throw this quilt. 
I love the orange Tiny Daisy Macaroni fabric!


This guy scared the heck out of me when it ran right by the wagon wheel.


The Polka Dot Turquoise is really bright and sweet!


This REAL BEE was hiding in the flowers while I was clicking away on my camera.
Yikes!


Heart Blue has sweet little hearts and stitching in it.




You can find the pattern for Busy Bee Garden HERE.

Hello Fall Blog Hop, First Day And My Day

"Hello Fall" is happening today...yay! I love being on the first day of a blog hop because then I have all week to relax and enjoy the amazing projects. Thanks to my favorite hostess, Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks, for this great idea and for getting us all lined up and ready to hop. As usual, she rocks my world with her inspiration and creativity! 

I love fall, mostly because Halloween happens during those months. Anything to do with that holiday makes me very happy! Though it was hard, I went with JUST FALL...no Halloween. 

Celebrating Fall Gnomes, 36" x 36" table topper


Did you know that there are a lot of websites that have names for gnomes? I didn't, but now I do!
I grabbed four of them for my fall gnomes.

Banxi 


Gnorbitt

Krankle 


Quilllz


Anywhere you sit at the table puts a gnome facing your way. 


Fabric from my stash worked great for this. Most of it is Northcott's Canvas fabric that I love!


Of course I used my favorite iron-on adhesive...Therm O Web EZ Print Lite Sheets. No need to trace, just run through your inkjet printer.


You really need to check out all these blogs to see what they've made!

You can find the pattern for Celebrating Fall Gnomes in my Etsy shop HERE.

My Oliso purple iron is my favorite for pressing fabric. Having it pop-up when I set it down still amazes me. I have to be careful when I'm at a quilt retreat because I MIGHT forget their regular iron doesn't pop-up. That could be bad!

Oliso is having a sale on the vacuum sealers and as one of their affiliates, I said I'd share the codes to some really good deals even though it isn't sewing related.

Cackling Stitches "Trick Or Treat" Sew Along Quilt Blocks

We asked the members of the Cackling Stitches Facebook Group if they preferred a mystery quilt or seeing a finished quilt before starting. It definitely leaned more towards seeing a quilt before starting a sew along or BOM. There's no guarantee that we will always show a finished quilt before starting sewing challenge, but this time the majority got their way. Here's the "Trick or Treat" quilt!

TRICK OR TREAT - 50" X 50"

The back has minky...a beautiful share of Halloween black, of course! It was quilted by my friend, Ginger, at Sew Sassy Longarm.

Each block is being released on different days, but you'll have them all in time for Halloween. The blocks will be free until the end of September. After that, the whole "Trick or Treat" pattern will be $5. No wicked whining if you miss out on the free ones...just saying.


If you want to join the FB group, Cackling Stitches, click HERE. It's such a hair-raisingly fun group of Halloween lovers, including my partner in wickedness, Joan from Moosestash Quilting!


Here's all the blocks for "Trick or Treat"

It's another fun row along with Marian from Seams to Be Sew. She's the queen of these row alongs every year...thanks, Marian! This year's theme is "It's A Garden Party" and we had several choices for sizes of blocks. I went with a finished size of 30" x 30" for my "Ready to Party" block.

These guys are ready for a fun time in the garden!



The fabrics I used are Canvas by Northcott, who generously gave us each a yard of fabric!


Flowers for the garden, of course!


You can find the pattern for my block HERE.
