Scares That Care Raffle Quilts

I was recently asked to create a raffle quilt for the Scares That Care Organization for their fund raising convention in August….Of course I couldn’t make just one for such a great cause!!!

Project #1 is Spooktacular…no really that’s the quilts name Smile

Fabrics were graciously donated by Island Batik and the pumpkin carving template was donated by Zombie Pumpkins.

… and the finished quilt

Project #2 is called It’s Alive! This is my second version of this pattern.

Pumpkin carving template was graciously donated by Zombie Pumpkins and the fabrics were a stash buster for me.

You may need to back up and squint to get the full effect. It’s definitely NOT your grandmother’s scrap quilt. LOL

Be sure to join the Scares That Care fun in August.

Quick Table Topper and Give Away

Need a quick gift idea? How about a colorful table topper!

The Island Batik Ambassadors are sharing lots of fun table topper ideas this month.

My friend Sharon started with a 5” charm pack of lovely Island Batik fabrics. She pieced the blocks into rows shown below.

Then she assembled those rows set on the diagonal.

Now for the magical part. Just line up a ruler so it’s a 1/4” out from the block points and cut off the extra triangles with your rotary cutter.

Tada!!! No fussing with piecing triangles here!!

You can bind or use the stitch and birth method to finish.

A huge THANK YOU to my friend Sharon for jumping and helping me this month!!

Happy Holiday Bonus to everyone in my Etsy shop

Back To School Blog Hop

It’s that time of year again…

What does back to school mean to you?
Are you a teacher excited to be molding young minds?
A parent jumping for joy that summer is over?

Back to school always made me happy yet sad at the same time. Happy that my babies were growing up yet sad that my babies were growing up. A mother’s dilemma.

I love this time of year. It means fall, fall, fall. I love fall!

Let me introduce you to a collection that just screams fall projects!

Beaujolais Collection

My friend Carole whipped up some FUN notebook covers.

A perfect gift for teachers, students, and….

…all your sewing bee friends *hint,hint*

Pattern can be found at the Orange Betty Blog.

THANK YOU to her husband for the great photos. You’re hired

If you can’t decide on just a few fabrics then use them all to make a fall quilt!!

Sorry it’s not bound yet

The quilt above was made using my new Loft Living pattern available in my Etsy and PatternSpot shops.

Give Away

Three (3) half yard cuts from the Beaujolais collection to one random winner. Open to USA residents only.
