Sunny Sewing on a Very Rainy Day

These fabrics are sew pretty and this pattern is sew easy!

My day started sunny and quickly turned into tropical downpours coming in off the

warm waters to the south of New England.

Today I took a break from the batik quilt in progress

and played with these beautiful fabrics

Rhapsody by Sedif Imer for Riley Blake Designs

Poppy Lane Quilt Started Here

Poppy Lane Pattern For Purchase Here

This quilt is very fat quarter and fat eighth friendly.

This quilt pattern is designed by

Sedef Imer @ Down Grapevine Lane

This pattern is very well written and it is fun and easy to sew.

My first block came together quickly and a happy sewing time later ...

I had all 20 houses done for the center of my blocks.

I will have a beautiful quilt to show you soon.

Then I took a break and went out for a Girls Night with three of my oldest friends.

Although it is now very late,

my pretty fabrics are calling to me.

Think I will sew a few minutes before turning in for the night.

May your night be happy and quilty ... <3

Welcome To My Home!

Welcome To My House!

This is my newest quilt block design.

It is a 12.5" House Quilt Block

made entirely from jelly roll strips.

Only 1 strip of each fabric print is needed for this block.

I used this Autumn Love Jelly Roll

by Lori Holt for Riley Blake.

I apologize for not having a completed project to show you.

I almost dropped out of the hop

but decided to post this instead

in an effort to meet my commitment.

I have been sewing,

but have a lot of other projects I need to get done, too,

and not enough time to sew.

It has been a busy time of doctor's appointments and tests

for me for the last month and more appointments are still coming.

Free Tutorial for my Jelly Roll House Block

Since I do not have a finished project I am also posting this fall house quilt

which I made nine years ago.

This is my favorite fall house quilt.

This has been warming my walls in autumn every year

since I began blogging ...

My Pumpkin Patch Quilt in Fall 2009

is one of my first blog posts.

The center is a house panel.

I added borders of my own design

I quilted it to show off the features,
like these pumpkins which has a little extra batting tucked in to make them rounder.
I always love when the weather turns cooler and I can hang this quilt again.

I apologize for not having any new finished projects to show you.
I almost dropped out of the hop
but after talking to our wonderful blog hop host, Carol,
I decided to post this instead
in an effort to fulfill my commitment.

I hope to have a new quilt for you soon.
