Getting back in the swing

Navajo Rose - Pattern by Cynthia Rang
Navajo Rose – Pattern by Cynthia Rang

I believe I will be receiving a box this week with all of the goodies and treasures I got while I was in Ephrata from The Fabric Patch.  I can’t wait to show you some of the amazing kits and fabric I got while spending time with Cindi, Charisma, and Co.  You will love it.  🙂

The pattern on the left is called Navajo Rose.   And when my box arrives you will get to see my fun, bright, batik version of this pattern.  (Designed by my friend Cindi).  This was my first quilt using traditional piecing techniques instead of using my specialty rulers.  Why it wasn’t bad, now I want to try and convert the pattern, as it’s one I feel like I will make again.

I also got the SWEETEST kit for a baby quilt that has fire flies on it.  It’s really beautiful!!  So I can’t wait for you to see that.

Otherwise I have GOT to get going on the “Be There, Get Your Square – BOM” with my LQS Pine Needles.  I got a tad behind from vacation, and then MORE behind from being sick.  So I need to get on the ball and get my blocks for August completed, and then start on September.

I HATE how time has slipped away so quickly this month!!  So please bear with me, a lot of neat stuff is on the way!  🙂

 

Happy Quilting!

 

Be There, Get your Square – Block #2

block2I got my second block finished from my Kaye England BOM.  It looks more vibrant in person, but I am pleased with how it turned out.

Block #2 was MUCH easier than the first block.  But one thing to note, it’s not that block number #1 was hard.  There were just more pieces.  The construction was easy, all flying geese units and half square triangles.  The rewarding part, is putting them all together and seeing an intricate block, the hardest part is patience, and sometimes lining up those seams!   🙂

Anyway we get our next 2 blocks on your meeting on July 27th at Pine Needles Sewing Center.  So no more block to show until then!

Be There, Get your Square – Block #1

I decided to start tidying up my sewing room for a few friends who are coming over to start on our BOM (Block of the Month) program.  Well tidy turned into noticing some fabric, and then auditioning some fabric, then cutting fabric….well I ended up making the first block.  So tomorrow I can start on the 2nd.  If you recall from my previous post, this particular BOM is from Kaye England’s book “Voices of the Past II”  We are doing the program through our LQS (Local Quilt Shop) Pine Needles Sewing Center.

Anyway I went ahead and decided to go quilter CRAZY!  I am MIXING my batiks, large prints, small prints, plaids….so it’s going to be interesting.  And I’m hopefully it turns our beautifully….HOPEFULLY!
