Penny Rose Fabrics Blog Tour With Sue Penn's Lily Fabric

I love when new fabrics come out like this new line by Riley Blake Designs 

sister company, Penny Rose Fabrics, and Sue Penn. All the Lily fabrics are so beautiful! 

It wasn't hard to feel creative with such sweet fabric.

Sweet Bunny Love Quilt and Pillow

The quilt is 40" x 45" and the pillow is a 10" square.

I think the bunny is hoping for someone he loves to see the balloon heart.

 I used five different Lily Cotton fabrics for the quilt and pillow...

This 10" pillow was so easy to make!

I think my favorite design is the Lily Blossom Plaid.

Be sure to visit the others who are part of this blog tour to see what 

they made with this sweet, sweet fabric!

Riley Blake's Blog Tour Stops Here Today!

Thank you for taking time to stop by my blog during the

Riley Blake Quilted Cotton Blog Tour!

I always enjoy sewing with Riley Blake fabric and this new double-sided quilted cotton fabric is 

certainly one of my new favorites! There are so many beautiful designs this fabric comes in, but

sometimes the "Creepy Carol" in me comes out and I can't help myself...I love the skulls and dots!
RBD's Basic Solid Lime looks great with the dots and skulls, but so would any other color...including purple.

I'm always grabbing a tote bag for my quick trips in or out-of-town and I thought

this bag would be perfect for so many different stuff-and-go type things.

I had so much fun thinking of what I could put in it!

The “Just A Round Bag” pattern uses only one yard of double-sided quilted cotton fabric and goes together quickly. It would make a great bag for gifts, travel, sewing, toys, or whatever you can fit inside of it and the six pockets. It can hold a lot! Using Riley Blake's double-sided cotton fabric makes it fun to switch sides to create different versions and eliminates the need to use batting. 

I've got the pattern listed HERE on Craftsy if you'd like to make one.

The Monster-ous Bag

These Monster High dolls go perfectly with this fabric!

Just Some Chips and Soda Bag

Add a few apples to make it look healthier.

Sleepover Bag

Don't forget your toothbrush!

Hair Salon To-Go Bag
Products are thanks to the hairstylist in my family.

I love the names of these sodas and so do my grandsons! Too funny!

Luckily, they don't really contain what the label says they do...yucky!

More crazy-in-love about the design on one side of the quilted cotton than the other?

No problem!

Here's a version with only the dots on the outside and a ruffle (I love ruffles!)

Plus, instead of fabric for the pockets, I used some vinyl so I could see what was in each pocket.

Blimey Limey Dots

It holds all my favorite sewing tools, plus lots of RBD fabric!

This fabulous double-sided quilted cotton comes in so many different designs.

You can see them all over at Riley Blake...HERE.

Thank you Riley Blake for creating this really cool fabric!

January Block-Of-The-Month Blocks

I've had this fabric, Moda's Sonnet Collection by April Cornell, sitting in a plastic container for several years. Since I have so much, it will work out perfectly for this block-of-the month practice project. Buried in that stash of fabric was a quilt I'd started, but never finished. Maybe I'll finish that one when I'm done with this BOM project. The fabric has kind of 60ish colors in it like the oranges and browns, which is okay just not my favorite--yet.



The January Block of the Month from Amy Gibson

Wonky Pound Sign Block

The Asterisk Block



I Have "Join" Written On My Forehead

With a deep need to get focused (or because I'm a little or a lot crazy), I signed on to this block-of-the-month at Craftsy.com. It was already in progress, but I'll catch-up......maybe. Amy Gibson makes it fun and easy, plus it's FREE and great for beginners (or people like me who need a little focus in their life or just want something else to add to their already busy sewing table.)

Craftsy Block of the Month

That makes three things I have agreed to take part in. Crazy! A year ago I was scared to death to sign-up for anything, but then I saw something that had to do with Ghastlies on Madame Samm's blog at Sewwequilt.com and I was hooked!

I'm so excited for this one over at janesfabrics.blogspot.com. My day is July 3rd.

This one will be fun, too, and starts with the cutting instructions tomorrow. You can find it over at mommybydaycrafterbynight.com.

I have plenty of fabric to join at least 50 blog hops/quilt alongs/or whatever, so I told myself "why not."

I'm sure there's a reason "why not", but too late---I'M IN!
