A Fairy Garden and A New Summer Project

Evie and I went to the nursery to get flowers and then decided a fairy garden would

be fun to make!

So we did!

And since no fairies had moved in yet...

she had my Matryoshka nesting dolls come to the garden and play!

I have also been building my Summerville quilt!

The house construction will be starting next!

Happy 13th Birthday Celebration!

It's another week... and another something to celebrate!

I can't believe that the Fat Quarter Shop is Sweet 13!

I think it was soon after they got

 their start that I discovered 

the blogging world,

 as well as on-line shopping!

The Fat Quarter Shop has been my go-to on-line store... 

for 3 main reasons...

#1- large variety

#2- fast service and also

#3- generous kits

and I'm sure you will agree that they have also been a great contributor to

the quilting community!

For years they offered monthly gifts for our

Another Year of Schnibbles sew alongs!

Today I would like to congratulate Kimberly Jolly and her happy family!

Wishing you many more birthdays to come!

And what's the fun of a birthday party without gifts?

Here are the gift prizes you can win by entering into the

birthday celebration!

First of all, enter the code LUCKY13 and get 13 percent off of your purchase.

Then you will be entered to win one of these 13 prizes!

Eleven winners: $100 Fat Quarter Shop Gift Cards

Hop on over to the Jolly Jabber for more details...

(the special celebration sale is good until Wednesday at midnight)

But while you are here...

FQS is sponsoring a giveaway right here!

How would you like to win this new 

bundle of fabric from the Fat Quarter Shop?

This is a super fun collection by Violet Craft 

for Michael Miller Fabrics.

House of Hoppington!

Here's how we'll do it.

One of my other favorite things about Fat Quarter Shop is that they

have a great Coming Soon page on their website.

Find something from the Coming Soon page and comment on it here.

I will have a winner's name picked on Thursday!

Midweek Mosaic (a wee bit late)

Summer is officially here!

The heat is here too!

I think that this would be a good time to 

work on small projects.

Or even embroidery.

I hope your weekend is fun and refreshing!

(I used PicMonkey for this photo)

... and you dream in sherbet!

(I purchased one of these bundles from Fig Tree & Co.

I will be thinking of ways to use it... along with the possibilities in

the little downloadable booklet that FT and Co just published).

Here is a little Flashback Friday for you!

This was Strawberry Fields I.

Have a good weekend!

Picnics and Such

I had a chance to 

finish up this quilt...

I had all the blocks done... a few months ago but it got set aside!

It's a pattern called Picnic Petals by Whole Cloth Quilts.

I just loved making this Flowering Snowball styled quilt.

I can see doing it again... king size!

Another picnic quilt... 

Here is another quilt top I finished using Little Ruby

called Vintage Baskets. The pattern is by Cotton Way (Bonnie)

This fabric is a collection of the sweetest little prints that

Bonnie and Camille could come up with yet!

I already want more Little Ruby... before it's all gone!

I actually have a little finishing up to do.

on the cherries... and then decide on a border. 

I was thinking of a print from the Bonnie and Camille group Vintage Picnic. 

Any ideas???

Here is my Fig Tree Frivols quilt that I finished up...

I love Strawberry Fields Revisited just as much as I did the first 

edition of Strawberry Fields!

I also want to say that I am miffed about losing my photo editor. 

I have always used Piccasa but now that is gone... and please tell me that I am jusy

 left with

Google Photo!

What do you use?

Please lead me to a good program that is user friendly!

I need help!

This is a group that I recently cut into... a Holiday line by Kate Spain.

It has really unusual prints/colors in this group...

but that makes it fun.

I will be returning to this one... but I wanted to dive into a summer

project right now.

I am using Farmhouse fabric to make Summerville!

I took one last photo of this quilt. Chicken Feed

using Thimble Blossoms fabrics.

I gave it away last weekend along with another quilt...

birthday quilts for a couple of women .in my extended family.

I can't keep them all can I?
