Sneak Peak

I've got the fabric for the last two months of the 12  month series for the Frisco Quilt Guild.

May's block will be made with fabrics from the Summer Breezes II line.  These are the fabrics that I was working with at retreat - beautiful royal blues and white with a dash of summery green and yellow.



Summer Breeze II Sky Blue Summer Bouquets (SKU#32590-13)
FQS uses 8x8 inch swatches....so imagine your kit cut from 1/4 of this.

Bella Solids Light Blue (SKU#9900-63)



We will be adding dark blues, greens and yellows on a white background to make our block next  month.

For the Month of June.....and in honor of the wonderful men in our lives.....I have this lined up.

Lil' Miss Sew & Sew Black Ruler Stripe (SKU# 0426-1)



Kona Cotton Cocoa (SKU#K001-1-82)


Plan to add dark browns, reds, and black against a beige or pale yellow background.



Remember - you are not expected to run out and purchase these fabrics....I am just sharing my excitement about things to come.

Month 9 - March 2012 - Brain Dead

I just finished cutting kits for Brain Dead. I have 31 ready to hand out Tuesday evening. This block is so easy you might consider making more than one.
I also have this month's sample all stitched up. What a breeze. I can now tell you that this Quilty Friend block is most definitely Charm Pack friendly. (I suspect all of them are, but I've only actually tried it with this one). The block can be constructed with your kit plus 7 charms. I have a few extras to share if someone wants to play along but doesnt have a stash of 1930's prints at home. Just ask me about it when you pick up your kit.
Have a great rest of the weekend!

First Quarter 2012 - Sneak Peek

Hello Quilty Friends,

Have you looked outside the window today?  If you haven't, don't bother.  It is ghastly...

and not in this creepy cute sort of way.  It is cold and wet and completely uninviting.  Fortunately I don't have to go out in it to purchase fabric.  (Thank You God!)

Month #8 (I'll give you fabric and directions at our Jan meeting) will be a study in reds.  What else would you expect for a project done in February?  "Love Potion" is the block I have in store for us.  The signature corners are grey and white ....

Ruby Cotton Grey Quirky  SKU #55036-13

White Moda Muslin SKU#9946-11

You add reds and cream for the rest of the block.

Block #9 is for all of our friends who love the 1930's prints.  You provide five different 4 1/2 " squares for the center.  I'll give you two greens for the corners.  (Did you expect something else for St. Patrick's Day?)  "Monkey in the Middle" should be a fun scrap-o-ganza.

Bella Solids Etchings Charcoal SKU#9900-171

Sweethearts Aloe Triangle Fiesta SKU#10726-36

We all know that by April the showers have stopped and it is darned near summer...at least in North Texas...unless it isn't and then it is any ones guess what the weather will do.  No matter, these sweet flowers will still be appropriate.  I've purchased these for block #10.  You add anything BUT white and/or Azalea this month.



Ooh-la-la by Dana Brooks for Henry Glass SKU #9310-2



Bella Solids Azalea SKU#9900-144

 I hope you've enjoyed the shopping trip.  Remember you don't need to purchase these fabrics - I posted them to give you something to dream about....and make the post a little more interesting.

See you soon!
