Little Green Apples Is Happening All Week

It is always such a treat to see how creative everyone gets with the Sew It - Show It blog hop challenges. It boggles my mind how different our ideas are. From bags to quilts, you continue to inspire me every month!


The challenge:

Sew something with green or apple fabric (or a combo of both!)

Little Green Apples


Wind and clouds everyday make for rough photo sessions. 



In case you're wondering (or not), I did have the song "Little Green Apples" stuck on a repeating cycle in my head. Not a bad song to have in my head, but over and over is a bit much. It has been sung by
many different people but to show my age, here is Dean Martin singing it. I loved his voice!




In reality, I don't like green apples...way too sour for me!
But this was a fun quilt to make as my answer to the "Little Green Apples" challenge.
It's green and it has apples. It's a win!

You can find the "Little Green Apples" Pinterest page HERE.

Check out the other blogs to see how they met the "Little Green Apples" challenge!

My Day For Shades Of Blue

It is the first Sew It - Show It Challenge for 2023 and Carla's "Shades of Blue" is a perfect beginning for the chilly month of January. Thanks, Carla!


Way back in 2021 I had a sweet friend named Joan who brought me a huge stack of fabrics from the gazillion yards she had purchased from her favorite online store. I had used a little here and there, but this challenge definitely was perfect for them. Lots of shades of blue!


I love Sunburst Dresden's! 
This is a Missouri Star Quilt Company's version of one that can be found HERE.



For the flying geese, I used the one-seam method found HERE.
So easy!



Look who's sharing their "Shades of Blue" too!

Blog Hop Challenges And Other Happenings

It's that time again!
I'm hosting another Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange!

Challenge: (recipes are optional)
You can share a recipe or not.
Share Christmas quilts or projects.
Tell us about your Christmas traditions.
Show off your Christmas decorations/tree.
Spill your funny Christmas stories.
If it's about Christmas, we want to hear about it!
Email me if you want in.

Joan has this one happening starting Monday...spooky fun at Moosestash Quilting!


Carla will have us rocking out with our projects and music!
Email her to see if she has openings if you're interested in joining.



 About those blog hops Carla, Joan, and I host...we're changing it up a bit!
We've decided to call it Sew It - Show It.


We've been challenging our blogger friends each month and they never disappoint.
With a new name, Sew It-Show It, we'll be looking for bloggers each month
who want to meet our challenges and share their creations. 

It won't be much different than our previous blog hops but will only be for four days.

Giveaways just might be included, too!

It all begins in January with Carla hosting the first Sew It-Show It in 2023.
She'll be posting about it soon so watch for it at Creatin' in the Sticks.

Joan, Carla, and I are seriously working our fingers to the bone right now.
We're getting ready for Cackling Stitches Block of the Month, "Which Way to Witchville."
We're so excited! 
We'd love to have you join us on our Cackling Stitches Facebook page!


We're going to change this one up a little too, but we'll share all that good stuff later. 
Trust me, my wicked friends have thought up so many spooky blocks.
