Catch That Dribble Baby Bib Baby Shower Gift Idea

I'm usually thinking about sewing a baby shower gift at the last possible minute.

Thank goodness for the internet and all the downloadable patterns and gift ideas!

I'm over at the ThermOWeb blog today sharing my "Catch That Dribble" baby bib.

Catch That Dribble

I found an easy burp cloth to go with the bib.

It can be downloaded at Perfect Baby Burp Cloth by SoSew Easy

Instead of printing to paper, I print my favorite patterns on Stitch n Sew EZ Quilt Block Sheets

so I can use them over and over again. The sheets are transparent, 100% polyester, machine

washable, and printable on inkjet printers. Just load an Stitch n Sew EZ Quilt Block Sheet

into your printer, press “print”, and it’s ready to use. So easy! 

You’re going to love using Stitch n Sew EZ Quilt Block Sheets for printing your patterns.

They’re amazing for paper piecing, too! For bigger projects, tracing your patterns on

ThermOWeb Stitch n Sew Pattern Material is the way to go. It comes by the yard

and measures 58½” wide…perfect for clothes patterns!

You can find the PDF pattern for Catch That Dribble! in Just Let Me Quilt’s Craftsy store HERE.

Thanks for stopping by!

It's A Wild Life May Block Of The Month

This month's block for It's A Wild Life is by Joan of Moosestash Quilting.

She loves to make anything with a moose in it, but this time it's a bear paw.

With all my years of sewing would you believe I've never made a bear paw block.

I think my bear had her nails polished for this block...red is pretty stylish for a bear!

Amy at Sew Incredibly Crazy has a giveaway each month, but you have to make the block

and link it on her blog. It's easy to do and the giveaways are always amazing!

I'm using Riley Blake Designs fabrics in all my blocks, including

Confetti, Crayola, Kisses. I love all their fabrics!

My blocks from each month's design:

May - Bear Paw - Moosestash Quilting - Pattern info found HERE

April - Big and Little Tree - Just Let Me Quilt - Pattern info found HERE

March - Deer - Creatin' In The Sticks - Pattern info found HERE

February - Maple Leaf - Sew Incredibly Crazy - Pattern info found HERE

There's a Facebook page for information and sharing, too.

Being Ahead Of The Game Worked Out Big Time For Me

I've always been a bit of a worrier about not being on time with projects, so I sometimes

finish projects weeks ahead of due dates and even get my posts ready early.

Being ahead of the game worked out big time for me.

I got sick...ugh!

It's lasted almost two weeks and if it weren't for my hubby making sure I

was fed and hydrated, it would have been ugly for me.

My sister jumped in with her silver cough drops, honey, tea, Vicks, Essential Oils, etc.

Thank goodness for their help!

The saddest thing for me was not being able to meet Collette from "What About Rheema."

She was driving through town and we'd planned to connect. Didn't happen!

Maybe another time...

Luckily, I had almost all my deadlines met until early May. Whew!
Sometimes my neurotic worries works out for me.

I'd already finished these two when I got sick...
The 30 Blocks in 30 Days Quilts for Creatin' In The Sticks

These are coming in the next week or so...

May 7th X Blocks Blog Hop

There's the "Wish Upon A Star" blog hop coming, too.
I've got the quilt top made...yay!

The "Christmas in July" blog hop has a few openings if you want to play along.

Nope, I haven't started this one yet but I'm thinking!

Anyway...
I'm starting to feel sort of back to normal (whatever that is) and maybe can start
sewing again. It's been so long and I have so many beautiful fabrics calling my name!

Wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough, stay home when you're sick.
Stay healthy!

Spot's Day For The 30 Quilt Blocks In 30 Days Blog Hop

Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks came up with a very cool idea for sewing simple blocks

to make quick quilts. Then she asked a bunch of us to get creative with those simple blocks and

organized us into the 30 Quilt Blocks in 30 Days blog hop. Great idea...thanks, Carla!

I chose block number 21, SPOT, for today's project.

I immediately thought of the books from my days as a kid in school.

I always liked Spot!

Making the Spot block was so easy!

Carla's instructions for Spot can be found HERE.

These are the measurements for the Spot 10" finished block:

I added a circle in the center, borders, and some dogs using an Accuquilt die that I've had

forever. Of course, I named the quilt, "Spot." The fabrics are by Riley Blake Designs.

The photos were taken in a St. George, Utah, park. I love the dragon!

This little girl and her dogs seemed like an appropriate photo prop!

I love my "crew" who is always there to lend a hand.
It was too cold for him to run through the water at the splash pad.

Quilted Works used a dog design for the quilting...see the little paws!

Thanks for stopping by to see "Spot!"
