Great thanks to Carla from “Creatin’ in the Sticks” for all her work arranging today’s Winter Blues blog hop. Since blue has always been my favorite color, it is a joy to participate in this blog. Please don’t forget to leave a comment to participate in my Give Away.
If you are like me, you stave off those winter doldrums by sewing. Let’s start with 2 of the paper pieced CARDINAL BLOCKS from my CARDINAL TABLE RUNNER pattern.
I’m using these two cardinals.
I’ve been wanting to sew some new winter pillows and these blocks will be perfect! My CUTE AND CLEVER FARM AND FOREST ANIMALS book has an adorable 12″ pillow pattern.
See that cute little bunny pillow on the cover of the book? That’s the pillow I will be making with my cardinals.
I found this lovely blue sparkly fabric at JoAnn Fabrics.
I love how they turned out! Here they are in my living room. The little red berries are tiny buttons.
I will be GIVING AWAY a digital copy of this pattern to one lucky person who LEAVES A COMMENT BELOW. The winner will be announced the week after the Winter Blues Blog Hop.
Thanks so much for visiting our hop! Please visit the other bloggers participating.
Some super sweet customers have been sharing photos of adorable projects they have created using my paper piece patterns. I LOVE to see their fun creations.
Bella is a first time paper piecer. She entered her CORGI quilt in her 4H competition and won first place. I love how she repeated the dog blocks in an Andy Warhol Pop Art inspired composition.
Andy Warhol’s MarilynMonroe
Sharon created this awesome neutral colored Dog and Cat quilt. She has incorporated blocks not only from me, but from lots of designers. This makes the quilt very interesting, since it’s not just one designer’s view point.
I am in love with Jennifer’s festive red, white, and blue Chihuahua!
Bella the Labradoodle
Here’s a photo of Bella, cutest little Labradoodle ever. This is my girl friend’s pet, and she wants a memory pillow of lovely Bella. Sweet Bella is slowly loosing her eyesight.
These super sweet penguins wearing a cute collection of different hats make a fun wall hanging or table topper. The penguins are paper pieced, and the flowers are appliqued.
I haven’t had time to put these 3 blocks into a table topper or quilt, but I would love some ideas!
The week after Thanksgiving starts the 2019 Virtual Cookie Exchange and Blog Hop . Don’t miss it! Collect lots of yummy cookie recipes AND see so many clever Christmas decorating ideas.
Can’t wait…I will be posting on Wednesday, December 4.
We had an early season snowfall in Wisconsin…check this out.
Last week…
Today! Is this what they mean by “snow on the pumpkin”?
The Cat’s Meow
This is my newest Halloween quilt design, THE CAT’S MEOW. My very creative customer Mary created this sweet wall hanging, using this pattern.
Every time Mary makes a quilt, she makes an extra block to add to a sampler quilt. She is saving this bat block to include in her future quilt. What a great idea!
