Catching-up on Scrap-bee-licious blocks

7 Replies

I have been trying to catch-up on some of my Scrap-bee-licious blocks this week, as I owe blocks for April, May and June.

April’s block is this wonderful little star – those squares are 1.5″ and has 42 HSTs.

May’s Blocks are an appliqué block that comprises of vines and leaves (not started yet).

June’s blocks are a lot of flying geese which I am paper piecing. Each segment (two flying geese) is a 3.5″ piece. I am missing one row on this one which I am think of adding some of my own fabrics to.

Sunday Stash #24: Blueberry Park

8 Replies

I have recently discovered Karen over @ Blueberry Park. She does these fantastic screen-printed fabrics, typically on Kona cottons. This works out great as it is so easy to find matching fabrics and mix with solids. She is wonderful to work with and has been so helpful. You can order via her Etsy store or just IG her (blueberryathome). She also has a couple of fabric clubs for 1/2 panels, full panels and charm packs.

Here are my wonderful purchases so far…Neutral Bundle, Allotment in Shadow, Aqua/Teal/Blue bundle…

Grey Scrap Back and some charms…BlueberryPark_Greys
Blue Scrap Pack…BlueberryPark_Blues

Finally Orange and Purple Charms (with a couple of scraps from a bright scrap pack)BlueberryPark_OrangePurple

I have so  many project ideas for using these up 🙂

Q3 Goals + July ALYoF

7 Replies

This month/quarter I am definitely concentrating on my WiP pile, which gets larger every month somehow??.

My number one goal for this quarter and July is to finish my “Phased Circles” Quilt. I already know how I am quilting the top but I do not know what I am doing for the back…except it will be using black and white prints of Carolyn Friedlander’s lines. I was thinking that will add a nice balance to the colors on the front.

Other finishes, I want to aim for this quarter are:

  • Wonky Herringbone Place mats + Tutorial inclusive of block designPlacemats _basted

That’s it I think, might as well aim high 😉
