fun new samples from Folktales...

 Here is Folktales Shop Hop Block for June 2014.  The top photo is a picture of the stitchery traced and colored with Crayola Color Crayons. 
 The bottom picture is a photo of the finished embroidered block.
 This is a new quilt I made for my future son-in-law.  He loves bowling.  And he loves snuggling up with a flannel quilt.  And he loves my beautiful daughter.  He is a brave and blessed man!  And I want to be his favorite mother-in-law!
 This is from the "Sew Jelly Roll Quilts and Gifts" book.  It takes one printed jelly roll, one solid jelly roll, and borders and backings.  It is queen size.  I decided to redecorate the guest room.  Now I have some painting to do.  Hmmm...







Another fun applique towel-this one for Halloween.  Sometimes it get's confusing around here...what season are we in?



new samples at Folktales

 Wellington House Designs has let us borrow a few of her samples.  These are photos of a larger quilt called "Northwoods Memories".  The pattern with all 12 stitcheries is $30.00.
 "Camper Sweet Camper" is a new towel applique pattern.  How Cute!
 This is another sample from Wellington House Designs.  "Baltimore Blackwork".  The pattern is $20.00
 "Christmas Wheels" from Bunny Hill is DONE!  Here is a close-up shot of some of the blocks.

 Okay, it only took me a year, but I finally got some of Bonnie Sullivan's flannel panel sewn into wallhangings.  And it was so easy...what took me so long?

A new flirty apron-just for fun!


 This is the newest fabric line from Jennifer Chiavianni.  So pretty!  and a quick and easy quilt to make.

Spring is on it's WAY!

 I finished the sample of "Spring" by Fay Paints.  I did some watercolor penciling before I started the embroidery.  I LOVE IT!! I have added several close up shots so you can see some of the details.





 And here is the new line of fabric from Bird Brain Designs.  Time to get the redwork patterns out!
