Time In A Bottle Blog Hop And My Day Too

It has been an exciting week full of hourglasses of all types and colors in the "Time in a Bottle" blog hop...so fun! Who would have thought there could be so many ideas for hourglass blocks!

I don't usually have a project in mind when I post a challenge for my blog hops and this time I really had no clue what I was going to make. Until I saw Benartex's "Ale House" by Kanvas Studio and then my brain went into overdrive (it does that sometimes.)

"Time in a Bottle"

The quilt is 76" tall, so you know this rabbit is big!

He can be found at Bootleg Canyon in Boulder City, Nevada, along with other desert critters.

Making 12 hourglasses met the blog hop challenge for sure!

Here are instructions for making your own 7" finished hourglass block:

I love the combo of peanuts, pretzels and ale in the Dresden blocks.

These are the Benartex "Ale House" fabrics in my quilt. The colors are very vibrant!

I'm thinking any of these would be perfect for a soup bowl cozy.

This guy would be scary to run into if he was real!

The area in and around Las Vegas has lots of these yucky scorpions that sometimes venture into

houses. One of the Monkey Boys was unlucky enough to get bit by one in his living room.

The sun wasn't very helpful with this photo, but you can see how big that scorpion

is compared to the quilt. Yikes! Luckily, we didn't run into any real ones out there.

My crew guy was very brave helping me out!

As ugly as roadrunners can be, they are so fascinating to watch. They run through

the deserts, neighborhoods, and golf courses looking for their meals.

You can find the pattern for "Time in a Bottle" HERE.

Here are the other "Time in A Bottle" hourglass stichers...check them out!

I hope you've enjoyed this week's "Time in a Bottle" blog hop. I have!

There are so many ways to use this easy and fun block.

There is a Pinterest page for Time in a Bottle HERE.
