Therm O Web Sew Along Projects Begins Today

Last week ThermOWeb shared four different blocks for the Spring Sew Along. 

This week there are four free projects you can make with those blocks.

You can make one of the projects or all four…it’s up to you! Once you finish your 

blocks, be sure to post pics of them on Instagram or Facebook with the tag #thermoweb.

Today is my day for the Spring Sew Along and I'm sharing a basket that’s really easy to 

make. Those sweet blocks went together to create a 10″ fabric basket that is perfect for all 

sorts of things. My daughter has a household of all boys, so giving her this basket to store 

diapers gives her a feminine touch to a corner in her room.  It would also be great for holding 

patterns or craft supplies! HeatnBond Fleece Fusible High Loft added just the right amount

 of stability to hold the sides up without being stiff.

Each block is 10" x 10" when finished and I used them for the sides of the basket.

 Be sure to visit Therm O Web Spring Flower Sew Along projects:

My Day For The All About Strings Blog Hop

It's my day for Creatin' in the Sticks All About Strings Blog hop!

I have a few jelly rolls sitting around that definitely need some ideas for using and

I'm hoping this hop is going to be a big help in finding ways to use some of them!

There are a few in my stash that have been there a long, long time, but the one I used

 for this hop isn't too old. The white jelly roll strips has been there a few years.

I used my "strings" to make a quilt as you go project.

I used only fabric from my stash on this one and put some minky fabric on the back.

My youngest daughter snatched it right up! I'm sure there will be a few Monkey Boys

snuggled up in it with her. It's 54" x 54" which is a nice size for cuddling those boys.

When I looked around for string quilt ideas, I found a quilt-as-you-go method on 

Upstairs Hobby Room. It was easy and quick to make the 20 blocks. Once I'd sewn the

strips in place, I trimmed each block to 9 1/2" x 9 1/2" squares. The blocks were

 then sewn in rows of four across and four down. Each border was two strips of 4" x 36 1/2" 

and one strip of 2 1/2" x 36 1/2", with a square sewn on both ends of two of those strips

Monkey Boy feet!
He was an awesome helper.

Check out all the other "Strings" happening this week!

ThermOWeb's Spring Sew Along Starts Today

I'm so excited about a new sew along at ThermOWeb that features Spring Flowers! 
We could all use some spring flowers after all the crazy weather we've had.

They're sharing four free applique patterns created by a few Therm O Web designers.

I'm sure you've seen me hanging out with these ladies a few times...

All the blocks are 10 1/2” x 10 1/2” unfinished and can be made with fat quarters and/or scraps.

Once you have your blocks sewn, come back during the week of March 26^th to March 29th

for projects to use those blocks in.  Free patterns will be available with a list of supplies and 

instructions. You can make one of the projects or all four…it’s up to you!

Riley Blake Designs Confetti Cottons In Steampunk Bird

I had a bit of fun with Steampunk using Riley Blake Designs' Confetti Cottons.

This rolling bird is made totally with Confetti Cottons!
The solid colors were easy to incorporate into this design.

"Riley Blake Designs Confetti Cottons solid fabric is a premium quilting cotton that has a soft

 hand. Use it in your traditional or modern quilts, or on their own for a contemporary quilt style."

Steampunk Rolling Bird
Measures 42" x 52"

So many gorgeous Confetti Cotton fabrics went into this rolling bird!

A few of the beautiful colors I used:

Confetti Cottons Daffodil

Confetti Cottons Crayola Brussel Sproutlet

Confetti Cottons Beach

Confetti Cottons Crayola Cast Iron

Confetti Cottons Crayola Inchworm

Confetti Cottons Crayola Right-On-Red

The variety of colors seems endless...you'll love them!

You can find the pattern for Steampunk Rolling Bird in my Etsy Store HERE.

One of my favorite products for making my applique quilts is
Heat n Bond's EZ Print Lite Sheets. Just run the applique designs through an
inkjet printer and they are ready to iron to your fabrics. So easy!

Thanks for stopping by!

My Day At The Dust Off A Quilt Book Blog Hop

Bea had a great idea for a blog hop...dust of a quilt book we've had for a while and make
something from the book. The hardest part of this was deciding which project to make from
 the gazillion books I have stashed here or there. Since I enjoy designing and sewing applique,
the book I dusted off for a project was "Adorable Animal Applique" by Margie Ullery.

I got the book during a class I took at a Bernina store that was being taught by the cutest lady,
Margie Ullery from  Ribbon Candy Quilt Company. She's funny and very gifted
 in creating applique designs. There's lots of cuteness in this book!

This was the quilt I made at the Bernina class from her pattern, Hoots Hollow.
