A Show and Tell kind of day…

How are you?!!?  I have so much to show you today!! I have gotten SO {sew} many emails with your pictures of quilts and I am more excited than ever to show them to you!

Such a great quilt Sarah!! Love it!

First off Sarah sent me this picture of the first quilt she has ever made!!!  What a great quilt!  {you can’t even tell it was a first.  You should have seen the first thing I tried to sew.  YIKES.}  I just love the colors, so soothing.

Then…Check out this awesome table runner Kelly made for her Mom for Mother’s Day.

I love love love this line…and it looks so cheery as a table runner!

Kelly used our tutorial here and a Breath of Avignon charm pack. Thanks so much for sharing this with us Kelly!

Next up:  I got a sweet email from Barbara who had followed Mom’s video tutorial on making a baby quilt.

Barbara used a charm pack by MOMO from Moda fabric.  Isn’t it darling!?  You did such a fabulous job Barbara!!  Thanks for sharing.

Last but certainly NOT least is a sweet ‘Summer in the Park‘ quilt that Maria {from Australia} made using this tutorial.

How pretty!!

I love how sweet and simple the two tones of color makes it.

Thank you ALL for all the awesome quilts you make.  I am so glad that you have taken the time to email pictures to me! I really LOVE seeing what you all make.  I love hearing the stories behind the quilts….

I hope that you are all having a great week.

I am gearing up for Market!  CAN NOT believe I will be ‘outta here’ in only a week.  Where has the year already gone?!?!

Quilts made by: You {of course} Show and Tell

I am excited for show and tell this week!  Teresa emailed me these pictures of quilts she made from some of our tutorials.

Look at that sweet disappearing nine patch!    Go here for a tutorial. Such a fun and easy block to make!  I just love it.  Honestly, I have NEVER seen a DP9 quilt I didn’t like.  Teresa used City Weekend charm packs and Moda Bella Solid white charm packs too!  {the white charm packs are still out of stock…but will be back soon.}

The Next quilt she made was also using City Weekend , this tutorial and these awesome tools. How great, right!!

Last but certainly NOT least is this beauty using Civil War Home front  fabric, by Barbara Brackman.  She said she used a pack of turnovers for the border and fat quarters for the center blocks.

Thank you Teresa for sharing your quilts with all of us!

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

A few things…

This week has been wonderful.  The kids are swimming twice a week and we have taken nightly family walks!  {how much more perfect can it get, right?}

This morning we woke up to rain and dare I say it is beautiful?  I know.  I can hardly believe my OWN self, saying that!  Hah!  However, I will use it as a good excuse to start on a few projects that have taken a backseat.  {I’ve only gotten the 2 1/2 inch squares cut, as you can see above}

I have some organinzing of my ‘home-office’ to do as well.

I am super excited about the weekend.  We have some fun family stuff planned and boy do we need that!  {cleaning the garage!! YIPPEE!}

Also on the agenda is getting my trip to Spring Market planned.  (I mean, technically it is planned, I just have to buy the plane ticket)

What is your weekend shaping up to be?  Do you have anything fun planned?  Or productive?

Also:

Have you wanted one of these? Get it now, it’s on sale!

Vanessa has a cute tutorial for a ruffled pillow here.

Have you seen those Union Jack Quilt blocks in Blog land?  Amy is making some and they are so cool!

These are seriously the cutest things EVER!  {and they look so yummy!!}

Here is a bunch of new products JUST IN at MSQC!  Cute, cute, cute!

I hope you all have a wonderful, HAPPY and oh-so-productive weekend!

See you Monday!

Domestic Diva…and a tutorial.

I’ve had several emails about a tutorial we did almost two years ago.  So I thought I would put it  back up here for you all to enjoy!

Mom (Jenny) just made a new one for the Shop, using the ‘Domestic Diva’ line from Riley Blake.  I love how it turned out and think you will too. {Who am I kidding, this pattern looks cute in any fabric.}

Grab a charm pack and get a table runner done today!  Yup, absolutely FINISHED in one day!  A miracle,  I think so.

GO HERE for the tutorial. Sew and enjoy!

I hope you have the BEST day ever.
