It’s been a super busy week around here.
Tuesday my quilt was featured on Moda Bake Shop….
Woo-who…that meant 8.5 yards in and 8.5 yards out. Â If you haven’t seen the post yet you might want to check it out. Â Fat Quarter shop is sponsoring a giveaway for a jelly roll from the fabric line Curio which is featured in the quilt. Â It’s just what you need to add to your stash.
Friday I had an article feature in Accuquilt’s newsletter. Â You can check out this post to read about that.
My daughter Kelli came home for a Saturday sewing day. Â She brought with these AWESOME quilt tops….
This is Kelli’s scrappy version of Bonnie Hunter’s My Blue Heaven pattern. Â I am loving it!! Â You can find the free pattern at Quiltville.
The next quilt top isn’t quite complete. Â It’s the center portion of Bonnie Hunter’s Fair and Square. Â It can be found in her book Scraps & Shirttails II: Continuing the Art of Quilting Green
After seeing this quilt, it flew up higher on my to do list. Â Notice Gracie in the lower left hand corner. Â She got all upset that she wasn’t posing on the quilt. Â She started barking like crazy!
Finally we laid the quilt out on the chair and she jumped right up to pose.
She wouldn’t share the chair with Kelli’s beagle, Puppycat. Â I snapped a few pictures just to get Gracie to calm down. Â It was so funny. Â I shut the camera off and she was out to the kitchen to sit near the treat bowl….crazy dog….but back to the quilt. Â Isn’t it great!! Â I love the color she chose for the block centers. Â It’s just slightly pinkish…it makes the pinks in the string block POP. Â Did I say I love it….oh, I do!
But back to my stash report….…here’s my official numbers.

Wow! Love Kelli’s quilts! I am a Bonnie Hunter fan and have all her books. I have tagged the pages of all the quilts I want to make in her books and I will have to live to be 125. I love Kelli’s color selections on the Fair and Square especially – that one might have to move up in my leaders and enders queue.
WOWWWWW!! I love both of these quilts…do you have a birthday? Well Christmas IS coming!! Such a talented girl…wonder where she gets THAT from? haha

Those quilts are amazing – but your dog is hilarious!!
Congrats on the quilt featured on Moda Bake Shop! It’s beautiful! I think it’s so nice you and your daughter get together to sew on Saturdays! I’m so jealous!
Love the pictures of the dogs! Beagles ROCK!
Both Bonnie inspired tops are just great. Why didn’t I think of doing My Blue Heaven in scraps?! Your Moda quilt is fun, too!
Congrats on the Moda Back Shop qullt. Very nice. Your daughter”s quilts are great too.
I like both quilts a lot. The graphic design of Fair and Square really makes it pop of the screen. Love the fabrics in your Curio Quilt.
Thanks for sharing.
