A Wonderful World Of "Space Race" Color Blog Hop

Today is my day to hang out in Moosestash Quilting's "Wonderful World of Color" blog hop and with Joan as the hostess, this week is going to rock with amazing inspiration! Thanks, Joan!

Joan's challenge was simple: The sky is the limit. Color, world, lets face it anything fits this theme, don't you think?

I got excited about Benartex's new fabrics, "Space Race" by Painted Sky Studios, and thought they definitely fit the "world" and "color" part of this challenge. The fabrics are beautiful and the colors are bright!

"Space Encounter"

54" x 66"

My quilt back is Shadow Blush Twilight Blue in 58" wide fabric.

There are several panels available, including this one that is approximately 24" x 57".

(This was trimmed to a smaller size to fit the quilt)

Gorgeous panels to choose from!

Love the gradients and planets in these fabrics.

The spaceman's applique fabric was Cotton Shot Licorice and Cotton Shot Wedding Pearl.

It has a nice sparkly shine to it.

 

There was a space encounter with a little green guy!

A little out-of-this world church visit isn't a bad idea, especially when it's as cool as this

one at Nelsons Ghost Town. The stained glass behind the quilt is beautiful.

You can find the pattern for "Space Encounter" HERE.

This fabric really called my name with all the beautiful colors in it, so with a little leftover I made a mini quilt. I had no idea that aliens made quilts and had UFO's in their spaceship like we have in our closets.

The photo crew was awesome!

Check out this article at Porch by Cassandra Rosas, "Decorate Your Home with Crochet, Knitting,

 and Quilting: The Experts Tell Us How to Do It" HERE to see my answer to this question: 

How do you design a quilt inspired in a holiday season, what is the creative 

process and where do you get your inspiration?

 

Aliens Have UFO's Too

Word on the street is that Aliens DO have UFO's! Or maybe I'm just letting those crazy creative thoughts in my head transform into reality with a mini quilt. Yeah, that's probably it!

Alien Quilter

12" x 14"

I used a different crew for this photoshoot. They were a little intimidating and scary!

Joan at Moosestash Quilting has a blog hop coming soon (April 18-22) that is called "Wonderful World of Color" and I had some leftover Benartex fabric from that project. 

I was so lucky to have Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks visit last weekend.

It was really, really, fun to hang out with her and her husband!

The Big Horn Sheep turned their backs on us...rude!

We took photos of our quilts at Nelsons Ghost Town and had breakfast in Boulder city.

Good times!

This guy was quite the poser with my quilt. Hard to tell if he liked it or not.

I used my favorite products from ThermOWeb that are out-of-this-world!

Heat n Bond Lite Iron-on Adhesive or Heat n Bond Lite EZ Print Sheets

Spray n Bond Basting Adhesive

Stitch n Sew High Loft Fleece

Heat n Bond Light Weight Non-Woven Interfacing
