I think it is great to celebrate but I think every month is craft month for me especially if it involves buying more fabric. I got the best surprise in the mail today. My fabric from Island Batik, I guess that makes it official. I am now an Ambassador, yea. Oh the fun that will be had with all those little lovelies. I have been sewing a little. In case you hadn't seen my earlier post. I have these antique blocks I am putting together for my four daughters. I want each to be unique. I have two tops done and then I will have to decide how to quilt them. Any suggestions?
Here are pictures of 2 of my sunbonnet lady quilts. 2 more to go.
I am going to have a give away in honor of Craft month. It will be a fat quarter bundle of Calico Days from Riley Blake that Beverly has been using to make her Farm Girl blocks. Just leave a comment about one of her blocks that you like. She will be posting off and on till she gets enough blocks for 2 quilts for her girls. I am not sure when I will pick a winner but it will be some time this month.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by.
Congratulations on your ambassador status, sounds like fun. Love your dresdens...my favorite block.

ReplyDeleteI would quilt the plain squares with a denser design - perhaps a spiral. Then only quilt the pieced blocks in the background area.
ReplyDeleteI really like Beverly's "Chick and Heart" block on her quilt.
I love the piggies! I like the chickens as well - just something great about quilted animal shapes I guess. Those are going to be lovely quilts.
ReplyDeleteI like the 2 Sunbonnet quilts. Your daughters will be pleased. Maybe some echo quilting around the Sunbonnet Sue's. Also, maybe something (outlining or a cute wavy line) in the Dresden's.
ReplyDeleteCongrat's on being an ambassador! I like Beverly's chickens.. and the pigs. The farm animals are always so cute! Thanks for the fun!
ReplyDeleteI really like the dresdens! And congrats on your Batik Ambassador status :)
ReplyDeleteAll the blocks are wonderful in this quilt and pigs are always cute, but my favourite is the lamb. And congrats on your ambassador status.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Dresden plates. I have always loved them. This post inspired me to drag out those Sunbonnet Sue that I haven't made yet! Great giveaway. Thank you!
