Rainbow of Love

I've finished my Quilt For Pulse which has been organized by the Orlando Modern Quilt Guild.

Here is my label.  I think it would be fun if the recipient visited the blog - we'll have to see.

I had to purchase a backing fabric as everything I had at the house seems wrong somehow.  I wanted it to be cheerful without being too cheerful.  I thought this dahlia print would be good for a quilt going to Florida.

I've filled it with several hugs.  I hope it brings a small amount of comfort to someone affected by the horrible tragedy.

Here is a fun little project that I made last week.  My daughter, Hanna, usually takes her breakfast to her room to start the day on this little tray from Ikea.

 I make a little string quilt liner for it so things don't slip around.

I pieced and quilted it at the same time using the sew and flip method.  I think it's called flip and sew but that makes NO SENSE.

I added a little extra straight line quilting.

 I put this funny cat newspaper fabric on the back for her.

Speaking of funny cats I definitely recommend the movie "The Secret Life of Pet" and also "Finding Dory".  I love to go to the movies in the summer where it is dark and cool :)

Corn Hole Update:  Check out the decoration that my boy, Andrew, did on this set that went to our farm for the Fourth of July.  Great Job Andy!!

I'm having a small fabric sale on Instagram and Etsy this week so check them out if you're interested in picking up a few bargains.  I'll put a notice on the FWB Facebook page the day of the sale.

Happy Monday

Summer Sewing Stuff

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome....  Just time for a quick recap of the week.....(from John Oliver's HBO show)

My Center Block on my medallion quilt.  I have all the stems, birds and berries sewn down - yay!!

Last weekend Andrew and Sig came up from NJ and the boys worked on a project together.

You can really sense the brain power here.

 Love to see those power tools in use.

They turned this

Into this - 2 sets of Corn Hole!  wee what fun

I made 16 corn filled bags with duck cloth.  Andrew had 2 themes:  Green & Yellow for John Deer; and Blue and Orange for the Miami Dolphins.

What a great action shot!  The tables still need their paint, but are definitely playable. 

Coco was confused as always.... Silly Pup.

Kelly of Pinkadot sent me this adorable handmade bird pin.

She also sent this fabulous Cowboy themed Toile' - I only need about 6 more yards of this!  Thank you, Kelly.

Pat, from Midland Texas sent me this wonderful tea towel.  When I was there in March I tried to find one.  How sweet of her to think of me and send it.  Thank you Pat.

I am making a Rainbow Heart Quilt for a victim of the Pulse Tragedy.    You can find information here on the Orlando Modern Quilt Guild site if you are interested.  They are taking blocks, quilts, supplies, etc.

And now this......an evening picnic of Chipotle at the beach last night.  Summer zooms by so fast, I'm determined to slow it down a bit.

I love the late day shadows on the sand.  It was low tide so it was fun to watch the kids looking for gifts from the sea.

I'm off to the Vermont Quilt Festival Saturday morning.  If you see me walking around say hello!
