Insert Snappy Title Here...

Happy February!  And yes, Insert Snappy Title Here is the perfect title for my post and...is the name of our February Schnibbles pattern. The quilt above is Carrie's original quilt from the pattern cover...isn't it gorgeous?! I love it!

I can't wait to see all of the amazing i.s.t.h. quilts we'll be seeing next month.  For now, though, we have some amazing versions of Full House to share. I think this is our largest group of quilts ever, and it's been so exciting to see them arrive in my in-box from all over the world!

Simone 's quilt seemed like the perfect one to start my parade...her version has inspired a lot of us!

Just Stopping By...

  It's been incredibly busy/crazy (in a great way) around here lately.  My school semester started this week (I'm teaching 2 English classes at a local community college), and I'm nearing completion of some big projects I haven't been able to share as of yet. But just like a breath of fresh air, one of my summer finishes arrived home the other day.

The fabrics are Fresh Cottons by Fig Tree & Company for Moda, and the pattern is "Vanilla & Blooms," also by Fig Tree & Company.

The quilting is gorgeous, and I can't wait to put my feet up for a few minutes and stitch the binding on this quilt!  I'll share full pictures when it's finished! Have a wonderful day!

Pattern Testing...

One thing I've been working on for the last week is some very exciting pattern testing for Kimberly at Fat Quarter Shop.

Each year Fat Quarter Shop hosts a Mystery Designer Block of the Month.  I always participate and love each of the quilts I've made from these patterns.  The blocks are always wonderfully designed, and Fat Quarter Shop always includes plenty of fabric.
 

I've been working my way through the patterns...of course I can't show any of my blocks since it's a mystery; however, I can tell you I've completed 5 blocks already and hope to have them all completed in the next couple of days. This really is the best Designer Mystery Block of the Month yet!

This year's quilt features the fabric Vintage Modern by Bonnie & Camille for Moda. If you want to join in you can find out all about it here.

Have a wonderful day!

Hopscotch

Just before Christmas I got the chance to sew with Vintage Modern, a new Moda line by Bonnie & Camille! If you loved their earlier lines Bliss and Ruby, well then Vintage Modern is like the icing on the cake! I seriously heart this fabric...it's one of those lines where it's love at first sight!

It was so much fun to piece "Hopscotch" for Camille (yes, I pieced the quilt, but she did the amazing straight-line quilting pictured above)!  Camille just released 4 new designs, including this one, and they're all on my "to-do" list)! "Hopscotch" is a jelly roll quilt, and there isn't a single "y" seam to sew.

Thanks so much Camille for the photos (by the way, I think that green chair in the first photo needs to come live at my house so I can photograph all the rest of my Vintage Modern sewing on it)!  You can see Camille's other new quilts here.

Wordless Wednesday...

Well...almost...seems I can't post without saying something.  Thank you so much for all the motivation to work on this some more!
