Fall is in the air and what better time to take on a new
project than now? Especially when you
see this quilt!
 |
| Oops - that's not the quilt! That's a picture of my front yard. Autumn is in full swing around here and I just love the contrasting colors of red, yellow, green and blue, even with a little neutral tone in the house - the perfect makings for a quilt! |
I'm participating as one of the Featured Bloggers for the
Sew Sweet Simplicity Free Block of the Month Blog Hop sponsored by Henry Glass designer Jacquelynne Steves, The Art of Home. And
unlike some BOM's, this one is free! Just sign up and join us for the fun and prizes.
For this quilt I'll be making six blocks, but there are many
options you can choose to make this quilt your very own. You can do just four
blocks, or six like I am doing. You can include embroidery or applique in the center of the blocks, or
just piece the blocks and let the fabric tell the story. And you can choose
to make the blocks into a lap quilt, table runner, pillows - whatever your
heart desires.
The block designs are beautiful, and they work up well.
I've been having fun selecting my fabrics, and finally
settled in on Soho Chic by Sandy Gervais for Moda. I fell in love with the rich teal color and
the happiness the fabrics invoke. Now I
just have to dig in and start cutting.
The first block will be released on Oct. 27, so you still
have plenty of time to sign up. I'll be
having several giveaways of books, fabric (did someone mention fabric?) and thread
throughout the Blog Hop, as will the other featured bloggers. So be sure to sign up today.
Did someone mention GIVEAWAY??? That's right - today I'm giving away this awesome bundle of patterns. Entering is easy and you have two chances to win. Plus, it's open for International entries as well as US entries. This giveaway is open through Oct. 23.
