The Last Unicorn and other FREE STUFF from Made By Marney

Welcome to our 2019 Once Upon A Story Row-A-Long. A big THANK YOU to Marian Pena and her hours of preparation time organizing this years event.

My featured fairy tale is The Last Unicorn, by Peter Beagle.

The Last Unicorn is a lovely story about a unicorn who dreams big!

This paper pieced unicorn row measures 9″ x 18″. This includes the outer border. The letters “Dream Big” are machine embroidered onto the finished block. But, any word or name could be used. And if machine embroidery is not your thing, a word could be appliqued in the ...

Yellow Butterfly Hijinks: Colour & Inspiration Tuesday from Clever Chameleon

Yellow Butterfly Hijinks colour board at Clever Chameleon

The little blue flower that started a neighbourhood dispute…..

Or was it the yellow butterfly? Or someone else entirely…..?

Watching the local pollinators compete, you would be forgiven for thinking that flowers are scarce in Arkaroola right now. Which, I think you probably get the idea: they are not. The cooler weather, plus the months elapsed since our big rain, has resulted in a bloom of both flowers and insects. Wanted and otherwise.

But apparently some flower locales are more desirable than other blooming addresses. Even within the best Cattle Bush Restaurants there appears to be premium tables where the ...

Hip To Be Square Pillow Tutorial from Samelia's Mum

It's cool to be square blog hop from Dreamworthy Quilts

This week is the "It's Cool to be Square Blog Hop" hosted by
the delightful Carol of Just Let Me Quilt.com

Today is MY DAY! Hooray! I am excited to share with you some of my SQUARE projects! My interpretation of the theme mostly features square shaped medallion quilts, but I do have a few things made from squares at the end of the post.

Generally I make rectangular quilts, but some just need to be square particularly if they are a medallion type of design.

Several years back I made a couple of unique log cabin medallion ...

A Warm Tribute from Sew Preeti Quilts

The Quilted Legacy Blog Hop is an effort to honor the legacy of Paula Budinger, who passed away earlier this year. Paula blogged at http://paulabquilts.blogspot.com and later at https://paulabquilts.com. Many of us knew her through her blog and quilts. Paula loved colorful, scrappy quilts, and made kid quilts for Project Linus. Paula also studied quilt history, learned dating old quilts, and collected antique and doll quilts.

To celebrate Paula's life and her love of quilting, some quilter-bloggers decided on a blog hop where each one of us shares a quilt we make for a ...

Quilted Legacy Blog Hop from With Strings Attached

I'm delighted to be among the quilting bloggers participating in

the Quilted Legacy Blog Hop this week.

Paula Budinger passed away in February.

Although there were other seamstresses in her family she was the only one who made quilts. She regularly made quilts for charities such as Project Linus, Jack's Basket and Covered in Love. She collected vintage doll quilts, 19th century quilts and more recently developed an interest in studying old vintage quilts. She often spoke of her daughter and granddaughter with great pride and lots of love.

Paula loved bright colors and new challenges -- the Rainbow ...

Nine patches for Paula from The Academic Quilter

Hello all, and welcome to my stop on the blog hop honoring Paula Budinger. Paula was a good and gentle spirit who blogged about the quilts she made at Paula B Quilts. She made a lot of scrappy quilts for kids, and donated almost all of them. I got to know her through Angela's Rainbow Scrap Challenge, where Paula often linked up her creations. She and I sometimes chatted back and forth, like ya do, about her quilts, especially the antique quilts she collected. And she was a Wisconsinite as well, so we had a small connection there, too ...

A destashing gift -- and the blog hop starts today! from With Strings Attached

Our friend VH called to say that a friend of hers (PL) had some fabric to give away and would I be interested? I said I'd be happy to talk to the friend. I called PL-- it turned out that I did know her; her daughter worked at the Zion-Benton library when I began working there. (The daughter is now 35, a hospice nurse, and mom of two.) PL pulled out fabric and made masks for her daughter and her daughter's hospice team, after which made she realized that she doesn't like to sew all that much ...

Hip to be Square - OMG May 2020 from Samelia's Mum

Well this past week has flown by. It's amazing how quickly time can fly by, even though the days seem to stretch out. Right?

This past week, I worked on my Easy Peasy Blanket, I made a custom cushion for a little girl called Iyla, cooked lots of food and even a little bit of baking.

Nigella's Choc Chip Bread Pudding - sooooo yummy!

I read a couple of good books, finished a jigsaw puzzle and started another one and caught up on some Netflix. I'm slowing working my way through Blacklist.

A colourful puzzle which I borrowed ...

Weekly update: masks, houses, rainbow rails -- and blog hop coming! from With Strings Attached

State parks were opened May 1 -- but our favorite part of the lakefront was closed this weekend due to flooding. (3.37" of rain fell on Wednesday.) We went to the marina and I hiked from that end as far as I could before encountering a 2" deep puddle that went across the trail.

(Photo on right is not the puddle. It's a stream flowing with the lake in the background.)

Springtime Tablescape from From My Carolina Home

Springtime seems to be coming early this year with warm days, brighter sunshine, and early flowers blooming. This was the inspiration for a table with sunshine and springtime flowers, and one day blog hop. Once again, I wanted to do this table with only what I had on hand, using the elements in a new way.

Springtime Tablescape at FromMyCarolinaHome.com

Sunshine yellow napkins are held with watering can rings. This was the perfect table for my grandmother’s silverplated flatware, a lovely pattern from King Edward called Moss Rose. I only found out the pattern name a few months ago and was able to ...

Color it Red Blog Hop from Quilted Delights

Welcome to my day of the Color It Red Blog Hop! Hosted by Carol of Just Let Me Quilt.

All we had to do to play along was make a project that had red in it.
Today I am showing off what I made with some of my favorite shades from my stash.

I call it Diamond Bars.

There are twelve different red fabrics in this one.
I used my 9 inch Creative Grid equilateral ruler to cut out all my triangles and angled strips.

The quilt has two different type triangles, one with a small inner white triangle and ...
