The RWB Hop Ends Today

The Red, White, and Blue Blog Hop is over today. The last hoppers posted their pics and they are just as amazing as all the others. I'm so glad I didn't have to pick a favorite as there were too many gorgeous blocks to choose from.

Jane did a great job (of course) hosting this hop. Thanks, Jane, for making this such an incredible event!

Madame Samm, you came up with a wonderful idea to have blog hops and you make a great cheerleader! Thank you for your inspiration and motivation!

Here's the last of the RWB hoppers....enjoy the last of the party hoppers. You won't be disappointed!

Bowls With Borders And Other Stuff


For those of you who were among the just under 170 people to sign-up for the Bowls With Borders Blog Hop, this is for you:
  • I still have a few people who haven't responded to let me know they got the pattern from Regina. If you haven't let me know, please email me as soon as possible.
  • Yes, you can stack as many bowls as you want. One, two, or one hundred! They are your bowls so stack them up until you're happy.
  • Yes, you can enlarge the pattern or make it smaller.
  • Yes, you can make them any color of fabric you want.
  • Yes, you can stack them tall, sideways, even upside down if you want to.
  • If you have a blog, make sure they show-up there on your posting day.
  • If you don't have a blog and I'll be posting your pics on That Other Blog, make sure you get them to me at least 2-3 days earlier than your post date. A week early would make me really happy and I'm nicer when I'm happy!
  • No, I won't have a tutorial--I'm just learning to paper piece, so you wouldn't want me to show you how-to do it. There are lots of methods out there in Internet land that should help you along.
  • Yes, you should probably start sewing the bowls as soon-as-possible because they are just so darn cute!
For those of you that missed being able to sign-up,
Regina Grewe's pattern for the bowls can be purchased
HERE.
She has some other beautiful patterns that can also be purchased
and even some for free--check them out!  
It's hot outside--a dry heat, of course--and I've avoided going outside as much as possible. Since I've been forced to stay inside, I've been working on blog hop stuff. I stopped sewing on my bowls, because my time is coming up for the Think Christmas blog hop and I didn't want to wait too long and then be freaking out at the last minute. (I only freak out occasionally and it's not pretty, trust me.)

It was hard to set the bowls aside (I love them!),
 but now I'm having a great time sewing on Christmas stuff.
July 30th is my posting day
--the hardest part of a blog hop is having to wait to show your creations.  
  
The Red, White, and Blue Blog Hop is still going on--amazing stuff to see at these places today:

I'm Hopping All Over The Place!

My Red, White, and Blue blocks were sewn and posted at Jane's blog hop on time. Yay! More going on over there so be sure to go look.
August 13-28th - Bowls With Borders preparations progressing nicely; emails sent to all. Sewing has begun! Found just the fabric I was looking for and bought it. Uh, yeahhhh, I was going to use some of my stash, but then I saw something else and had to buy it, of course.
I think there is something besides RWB and bowls going on. Let me think....

Oh, yeah!
My giveaway! Go HERE to enter--it ends July 18th!

 Wait! Is there more? Oh, yeah there's more!

I have two quilts almost ready for pick-up.
Exciting!

More?

Something about Christmas....Hmmm.....let me THINK...

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas...

July 30th rings a bell...a Christmas bell, I think.
The bowls will just have wait, which is hard because they are so cute!

It's over a hundred degrees here, but I've
got Jingle Bells hopping through my head.
Gotta love it!

A Little Progress

No star on my forehead for a job-well-done since I'm so behind on just about everything I joined. I have been busy, though, and have gotten this far:

The Red, White, and Blue blocks are piling up (not a huge pile, just a little stack.) I keep changing my mind on which ones I like, which ones I don't like, and which ones need to be given to the dogs to play with. I can't show any of them until July 3rd, MY DAY, over at the Blog Hop at Jane's place. Madame Samm has teased us with her blocks--funny lady--and Jane is flashing just her fabric.

The Zig Zag Quilt Along is coming along and just needs the borders to complete this week's assignment. Not sure the zigging and zagging is as distinct as it should be, but I like the colors (which aren't showing up here as well as I'd like them to. The red is actually more orangy.)
One more block of the month--really slow on this project.
I'm loving how motivational these projects have been!

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.)


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!

Jeepers Creepers Is It Halloween Yet?

 I sew a lot slower these days, but it is really a nice change. There were times I was whipping out 7-9 projects a month. Way too much! Now ...
