A Summer Day Has Arrived


With sprinkles on top!




So much to see and drool over here today in the Summer Day parade!
But first let me tell you some news... just in case you didn't already know.

Miss Rosie's Quilt Company has opened up her own store on-line.
Did you know there are PDF's of the Schnibbles patterns now???
I don't know about you... but I think this is terrific news! No more waiting or wondering
or hunting for her patterns... it's a quick little click away!
And even more fun is a post coming over at Martingale Publishing's blog today about Carrie!
Fun things are going on for Carrie, so you might want to hop over and check it out.
But of course you want to see the parade here today and then go see the second half over
at Sherri's A Quilting Life blog.
I can't even count how many quilts we have this time!
(the numbers keep increasing, so if I have missed your entry in the kayos please let me know)

And just in case you are wondering what the next Schnibble will be...
Here is what we have planned as the project for May!


This is Doc!
I made mine with Vintage Modern.
I loved making this pattern... I was excited with each block; it really was like magic!
Here is what you will need to get started:
Fabric requirements:
2  charm packs
1 1/4 yards background
This is bigger than any of the other Schnibbles I have done. It measures 42" sq.
and if you wanted to add a border you would really have a nice size wall hanging or table topper.

So now grab a cupcake and let the parade begin...



Oh so yummy and oh so sweet... here is Kim's quilt
and to see more of the quilting you can check out her blog
Kims Big Quilting Adventure
The colors are so fun and I love the border color too!

Here is a beautiful Summer Day in shades of blue.
This one was made by Edith at Red Door Quilting/Little Red Hen.
So soft and sweet, isn't it?

And from A Peach in Stitching, Kim W. made her SD to be a baby blanket for a
newly arrived little boy. I know he will love the  delicious colors!
.

Here is one that is cute as can be by Kay.
Kay's SD quilt made with Calif. Girl... in her case though it's Washington Girl!
Kay's blog is Quilt Studio Happenings, she always has inspiring work.



Leah at Quilted Delights made a sweet version with pink sashing on the geese and a
scrappy border that was inspired by Sharon's quilt!



And I can see why she was inspired... this one is the wonderful version made by Sharon...
aka Vroomans Quilts! She used a jr of Bliss to create her quilt! Love it!



Here is Summer Day and Strawberry Fields... a perfect combination
for a fresh and happy quilt! This was made by Kay M. and she is trying to decide
on adding a border... when she sees these other versions... it might help her make up her mind!

TAdaaaaa!
Here is a wonderful version of SD made by Polly at Aunt Polly's Porch blog.
She was up late finishing her quilt and was challenged by the evening light taking the
photo but you can see that it is beautiful and see more photos on her blog too!


 

Rene at Quilting Nona blog made her version with rich colors and a background that gives it
a great contrast. This was her first attempt at flying geese... and it turned out beautifully.



Here is a beautiful Summer Day
and this was made by Karen from Quilting Losing and Tea blog.
She burned the midnight oil to get this one in the parade and it is
so sweet with the Strawberry Fields fabric line!

This one is Summer Day made with California Girl fabric!
This was created by Trelly in Spain! 
Gorgeous!



This Summer Day was made by Susan
and just a little FYI  her friend Laural 
got her little quilt on the cover of 
Primitive Quilt magazine! You might want to go 
take a peak and tell her congratulations!
That is so exciting!

This is another Summer Day made with Fig Tree's Calif. Girl.
Patti also used the Fit to be Geese ruler.. that we love!



This Summer Day has been renamed Pezzy Summer
(how cute) by Meredith F. No blog but you can see more on her Flikr page.



This is a cheerful version in summer colors... 
a perfect summer quilt... made by Terrie!



And just what you would expect a perfect 
and warm colorway from Mary at Quilt Hollow!
Her quilting is beautiful!
Here is a Summer Day with a sweet little twist...
made by Satu at Quilt Tales blog!
This version of Summer Day was created by Sandy F. She used a jelly roll
from her stash... of Urban Indigo by Fig Tree. Her version is a little larger
so that she used all of  her fabric in it! Good job! I love it when a pattern allows you
to use a charm pack ... or a jelly roll!
Here we have a spring looking version of Summer Day! This one was made by Sandie at

!

Just a simple little change but a dramatic difference! This 
version of SD was from the mind of Thelma at Cupcakes n Daisies.


This is a sweet little version of SD that is renamed "June".
It is just beautiful and perfect here on the porch! This 
was created by Patty from NC Weekend Quilter blog!

I love this version... the colors are perfect for me!
It was made by Sandra and she wanted to share 
her Schnibbles from a couple months ago that she quilted...
Amazing!





and next....



This one is like tulips in the garden! Paulette
 made this version in bright and happy colors!

This one is so cute I can't stand it!!!
Made by Mary at Gwendie Quilts blog with Sweetwater Reunion fabrics. 

and here is another wonderful quilt...


This one was made by Michele at Island Life Quilts.
I knew I was going to misplace somebody's... sorry Michele!
Her's is made with Hello Luscious by Basic Grey. I love the playful fabrics.
Another one that is just beyond cute!


That is my parade of Schnibbles for this month.
Please check out Sherri's blog  with me and I will see you tomorrow for the prizes!

Progress in the Rehab!

We are just finishing up our first whole month of Rehab!
I have to tell you that I really do feel good.
Not only abut finishing my block of the month blocks that
have been neglected, but I am feeling good about everyone
who has been in rehab with me!
These blocks are so cute...
I am sure you are thinking,
why didn't I do this sooner!
And even though I do a lot of whining under my breath while I am sewing 
the 67 pieces for just one block...
in the end I am happy.

The winner for the April BOM Rehab giveaway is
Sherry!
At Blessings from Our Nest!



This is a BOM block made by Fiona at the Quilting Fairy blog!
I had to scroll back to look at last months too... it is coming along so
cute!!!



This is a great stack of BOM blocks from Vivian, the Bronx Quilter!
I can't wait to see this one come together!



This is one from Messy Karen! It's one of the blogger's blocks, this one was designed by
Cluck Cluck Sew.


This is Marcella's block for her BOM/May.



This block is from Celine... she is working on It Just Takes 2.
You should go see her design board and her progress at her blog Esprit Patch.

Eye Spy
I saw this block on Sister's Choice blog. Nicole was in the Rehab also!

block 8.jpg

This is next block for Darlene at Quilting Daze blog in the FQS 
Designer Mystery BOM 2011!



Here is another sweet BOM! This one was made by Sherry at
Blessings from our Nest blog.


And not one but two blocks completed this week
for Helen....

Her design wall is getting fuller and she added in another block to the mix!

Great job Helen! For more inspiration go to her blog Endlessly Diverted.

And this one is block four in the DM for FQS
completed by Cheryl at Polka Dots and Ric Rac!



This is one made by Carol at Brown Quilts blog.
You should go see them all together in rows!
And as for me...
yes, I was a good rehabber too!
More than the block... I am sure you can see that I haven't 
put away my Easter decorations yet.
 I just wanted to enjoy them a little bit longer...
since I didn't get them out until the day before Easter! 


This one here is from Pam Buda. It's a 6 week quilt along.
We had the blocks the past four weeks and the sashing was for this week.
Can't wait to see what she has us do this Friday! 

Were you in the BOM Rehab too? Don't forget to add your block to the list!
Right now I haven't gotten a response from Mr. Linky.
I tried to pay for a year subscription for the service but they wanted
to not only have you pay for a year... they want to auto charge my credit card for
years to come, evidently there is not just a "yearly" subscription.
So please send me any blocks you want to add for now. I will figure out Mr. Linky latter.

You Can Find Me Here:

 Photobucket

Well the weekend is upon us and I am looking forward to getting some of my projects worked on.
First and foremost l... I will be working on my Rehab/BOM project!
This is the last Monday of the month and that means I will have a little 
giveaway for those faithful girls in the Rehab!
For each week you were there your name will be put in the
hat... literally... I am going to put them in a hat. 
No random computer generated number!
I really hate that thing.

I will be giving away a copy of this gorgeous book...

The photography alone is nice. You don't even need to make any of the 
beautiful projects in it. You can just have it on your nightstand and look at it
before falling asleep and dreaming sweet quilting dreams!
So, if you haven't been in Rehab yet...
this is the time to finish up a block or two!

And you know I can't resist...
This is my little Evie...
her one month old photo.
 We all say awhhh in unison now.


(she melts my heart)

Now, I don't mean to pressure you...

Another Year of Schnibbles

but you might want to make sure you have your Schnibbles of the month
done too! Tuesday will be May 1st! Yes, already!!!
Trust me... you don't want to miss the Parade of Schnibbles!

Oh, and there is one more thing I want to show...
I belong to a new quilting bee...


The Bees Knees - A Quilting Bee

This is my block for April.
It was a free style month.

So obviously I am not good thinking outside of the box!
All my geese are flying in formation!

Have a great weekend blogettes!
