Jolly July – 2021 from Fat Quarter Shop's Jolly Jabber

My favorite month of the summer has rolled back around… Jolly July! This year I’m once again partnering with two of my favorites stitchers, Priscilla and Chelsea of The Real Housewives of Cross Stitch! Priscilla and Chelsea have designed a gorgeous holiday pattern, And to All a Good Night, as well as four new Tiered Tray Tidbits and five new Dapper Doodads. This December I will “sleigh” the holiday game with all the decorations and fun gifts I’ve made. Cross stitch for the win!

Priscilla and Chelsea have some wonderful tips and ideas for finishing ornaments and holiday ...

SCRAPPY TRIPPY KIMMY from Kwilty Pleasures

I have a great kwilty friend who loves scraps.

One of the first projects she encouraged me to do is...

Scrappy Trip Around the World blocks.

I have a project bin, with all the blocks

ready to sew. Clover clips keep each block separate.

I used a light green print down the center of each block.

Looking at it now...there's not a lot of variance in color value.

I used the Bonnie Hunter's tutorial

and you can find that one here!

These (now) ugly blocks will come charity quilts.

Proves once more...I never have been a ...

A Charming Christmas from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Summertime is almost here so that means the new collections of Christmas fabrics will be arriving in the stores soon.

So it is the perfect timing for the Fat Quarter Shop to release another one of their shortcut quilt patterns. This festive project uses Charm Packs.

The Fat Quarter Shop asked me which Christmas collection I wanted to use and I picked Little Tree by Lella Boutique. I knew it was going to look great with the White Grunge fabric I wanted to use for the background.

And here is my finished quilt!

Isn't it fun?

This shortcut pattern ...

A Finish From Leftovers from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I STILL can't share my shortcut quilt finish for the Fat Quarter Shop blog hop. But I am going to share the little finish I made from the leftover fabric!

Any time I make a quilt design that has large "flip corners", I try and turn the bonus triangles into HSTs. I had only ten approximately 4" little blocks to play with.

I decided to turn them into this fun little Christmas table topper. It measures about 14" square. I just had to dig through my holiday scraps and find an extra charm square to use framed as the ...
