Scrap fabric wreath

 I saw this tutorial on Rachel's P.S. I Quilt blog and thought it would be a great way to use up most of my scraps from other projects!

 I thought this small welcome sign was a great touch.

If you would like to make one of your own, just follow this link to the Moda bake shop http://www.modabakeshop.com/2009/11/fabric-wreath.html

Sale!

So, my  local quilt shop Thimbles and Threads sent out an email last night of their 30% off everything in the store sale!  Of course I had to go first thing this morning to check it out.  So now I have a new purse pattern (cause you can never have too many cute bags!), fabric to make the bag, fabric to make a Christmas wall hanging, and fabric to make a red/white quilt! 

One more week of summer break means lots of time for sewing and scrapbooking!

Holiday Inspiration

I have been wanting to make something for every season and I finally found what I was looking for to do it!  I found this stand at my local quilt shop Thimbles and Threads. 

I started with Halloween because those were the colors of scraps that I had to see if I liked how it was going to turn out.

 

I used my cricut machine to cut out the shapes.

So...What do you think?  I think they might be even better if I were to use a "line" of fabrics but I didn't want to get that involved if it didn't turn out as I wanted it.

All Star

This fabric is All Star by Rileigh Blake Designs.  She is quickly becoming one of my favorite fabric designers.  Love the orange and blue combination, and even better I got it on sale!

Half triangles finished, ready to be trimmed, all 140 of them!

 Finished top.  It actually turned out a bit larger than what I had anticipated so I had to take a break and go to the quilt shop to get another yard of fabric.

Pinned and rolled up ready to be quilted!

Finished Frolic

Finally finished this quilt!  This is the one my sewing machine broke on as soon as I started quilting it before Christmas.  I received a few quilting stencils for Christmas from my sister so I tried one of them out on this quilt.  This is my first free motion quilt and it wasn't as terrifying as I thought it might be!

Of course I did have to rip this block out 4 times before I finally got it right!

This one shows up a little better on the lighter fabric.

All rolled up!
