The first block is a rustic evergreen tree. For printing these patterns, we suggest using thin copy paper or a special paper made for paper piecing from your favorite quilting store.
Since I am a novice at paper piecing, I used colored pencils to ...

My word of the Year is to 'Be Intentional'
While mulling over our calendar for July, I decided that the focus will be on UFOs (UnFinished Objects). One thing I need to really focus on is how many of these projects that are started do I want to finish. And then I have to 'Intentionally' make that happen. July is the month!
I know a few of you do not have UFOs (what???) and I know a few of you would rather sew something new during the month. Luckily there are several sew along going on for July ...
Moving on from walking foot and onto free motion again for this week.

Good morning! We are anxious to share this new quilt pattern with you, it’s hot off the press! 
Sandy and I decided to call this quilt “Stepping Stones” because it reminds us of when we were back on the farm, heading out to get the cows for milking. We had to cross the creek pictured below. When you’re a little girl, crossing something like this seems daunting! We would always step on the stones to try and keep our feet dry. 
This is a fast and easy quilt created with a colorful 40 piece jelly roll and 11 ...

**** Button Club Happy Buttons ***
It is so fun to design a project for the Fat Quarter Shop's Button Club. I like to have the buttons sit on my desk for awhile, it' lets me find a fabric or a inspiration to start the pattern. The purple and yellow were my inspiration and when i found the Tula Pink Monkey Wrench fabric, I had to do big flowers! It turned out so cute!
*** Block #5 ***
I loved playing with the floral fabric to fussy cut it. I talk about it in the video below & show you in the tutorial

*** Inspired by Hope ***
I've been so inspired by the Messages of Hope that the people of Italy have been hanging on their balconies and putting in the windows... Rainbows! This is to let their neighbors and friends know they are ok. And to give hope during this crazy pandemic. You can see some of the banners at https://gulfnews.com/world/europe/art-in-the-time-of-coronavirus-children-in-italy-turn-to-art-to-cope-with-quarantine-1.1584259948710
