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.

Time In A Bottle Blog Hop

It is always a great time when there's a blog hop...I get so excited! What is a blog hop? It's like a "show and tell" online or like joining a quilt guild without leaving home. Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks, Joan from Moosestash Quilting, and I host blog hops featuring sewing and quilting. We post a challenge on our blogs and those who want to join in email us with their blog info.

This month's blog hop is "Time in a Bottle" which challenged the participants to sew something with an hourglass in it. I love how creative everyone gets with the challenges!

Let the fun begin!

Time In A Bottle Blog Hop Sign-up Time

It is fun times ahead with a new blog hop called "Time in a Bottle"!

Sign-ups start now!

What is a Blog Hop?

It's like a "show and tell" online.

Our blog hops feature sewing and quilting and are like joining a quilt guild without leaving home. Once the theme (challenge) is presented we set to work sewing.

We inspire each other with projects, tutorials, or patterns.

Anyone can follow along.

You have about two months to sew something and join in on the fun.

It's another easy theme that should have you thinking of lots of things you could make.

The Challenge:

Create something with an hourglass block in it.

It can be one block or 100 blocks...totally up to you.

You can make a quilt, a bag, a potholder, or whatever.

Just have an hourglass block in it somewhere.

How to make a 5" finished hourglass block

The Rules:

Post on your assigned day at 12:00 am Eastern time.

Have a giveaway or don't have a giveaway. It's totally optional!

Visit everyone's blog on the list and leave a sweet comment. Make friends!!!!
