Happy Mail from Moda :)

Yesterday evening, a large box arrived on my doorstep from my good friends at Moda ;)   It's always a good day when Moda is on the shipping label!!!   And I opened the box to find 3 sample quilts that I had made come home from their Trunk Shows across the US.  It is just so fun to wonder how many quilt shops these quilts have hung in ;) 


So now, I am adding the Bloomers Quilt, the Hometown Quilt, and the Guiding Stars Quilt to my pile of Quilts to be given away for Special Occasions ;)  I just love that these quilts have come home (and I will enjoy them for a while) and then they get to journey to a new home.   Isn't it just so wonderful to be able to share love through quilts!!!!  All three of these quilts were so much fun to make, and while the fabric would be hard to find now, you can still find the patterns and make your own versions ;) 


I
I hope you are all have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!

Piece and Quilt Sampler - Are You Ready???

It's time to get all your supplies for the  Piece and Quilt Sampler Quilt Along ;)   This super fun Quilt Along will start on April 15th, so grab Your Fabrics  and your copy of Celebrate with Quilts and get ready for a year full of fun making gorgeous blocks with lots of quilt friends!!! 
 

My plan is to use a  Rainbow of Bloom Ombre goodness!!!  Aren't those fabrics just so pretty, and when I open them up, I get even more colors, so great!!!   I plan to do a diagonal rainbow of Ombre goodness, and am using Half Yard Cuts in 18 different shades and dividing them into 7 color groupings, with  White Paper Grunge as the background.   


 The quilt finishes at 72" x 91".   The "quilt along" version is being done in Shoreline by Camille Roskelley and there are Sampler Kits that will be available soon if you want to make yours in this same layout.   But of course, you can use any fabrics, just grab a big ol' stack of Fat Quarters and you will be good to go!!!  



And now, it's time for lots and lots of cutting so I will be ready for the start next month.  

So how about you . . . Want to join in the Piece and Quilt Fun??   The Block Sharing starts on April 15th so there is still plenty of time to get ready.   It is going to be so much fun!!

Thanks for popping in today and I hope you have a very Happy Quilting Day!!!

More Charming Totes from More Charming Young Women

 So I was going through my camera roll the other day and realized I missed posting some very important finishes!!!!   Way back in 2017 I posted some adorable Charming Totes made by some adorable Young Women in our church :)  And when I was going through my film roll, I realized I never posted the next group of girls and their finishes from last year.  So today I am going to share them!!    One night a month, for several months, I taught these amazing girls how to make Charming Totes.    Each girl (including 2 of my own) picked their own charm pack and then cut, stitched and quilted!  For a few of them, it was their first time using a sewing machine, and they all did great!!!  So lets see their finishes!!! 






Jocelyn (my baby girl)  used Mama's Cottage by April Rosenthal for Moda Fabrics




Kamryn (my girl who just got her learner's permit!!) used Seaside by Tasha Noel for Riley Blake.




Maren used Just Another Walk in the Woods by Stacy Iest Hsu for Moda




Bristol used all of the extra charms from everyone's totes and made a scrappy one, so cute!! 




Sierra used Badda Bing by Me and My Sister Designs for Moda




Addy used Fairy Edith by Amanda Castor for Riley Blake Designs




Rosie used Flora and Fawn by Amanda Herring for Riley Blake Designs.  




Emmy used Harmony by Sweetwater for Moda




Didn't they all do such a great job!!!  I just love them, and it really was so fun to see them grow in confidence in front of a sewing machine.   To the point where they were super excited to try the long arm, so great!!!    Way to go girls!!!

And just FYI,  if you want to make your own Charming Tote, I have a free Step by Step tutorial right over here ;)  You just need a Charm Pack and 2/3 yard of fabric to start!!  They are so much fun to make and are wonderful Christmas presents.  But I am warning you, you can't stop at making just 1 :)  


I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!
