Earlier this summer I sent 2 quilts to Margaret's Hope Chest

...this princess one

and this 'quilt as you go' one

as part of the 100 Quilts for Kids Campaign.

What great timing to find this draft...as the Linky Party ends on October 15.

I'll post this and join the Linky Party.

There is still time to win my giveaway.

Giveaway closes at midnight October 13....that is tonight.

Happy stitching

I have been sewing a project that will be at Quilt Market.

I finished it on Sunday...it is beautiful

and will share it with you after market.

It did take a lot of my spare time to complete.....65 pieces in each 12" block

and .....yes I would like to make it again, exactly the same!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today I have only 2 fall blocks to share with you...I ran out of time to be more creative.
I hope you like them.

...the first one is the 2nd seasonal block from the

Bird Brain Designs pattern called Seasonal Patchwork

My block measures 10.5 inches

I used tea dyed muslin with DMC Perle cotton #8

I stitched the Winter block for the Think Christmas blog hop.

I still have the Spring and Summer blocks to stitch.

...for the second block I used a Buttermilk Basin pattern.

The original pattern is a 8" x 8" pillow using wools and cottons.

I used 6.5" squares for the 4 patch

to make it to fit my table topper and changed the design of the bird.

The bird was left over from a project I made 2 years ago.

Live Laugh Love finishes at 12" x 12"

I luv it...Ü

don't you just love the sunflower batik....
The fabrics were from my stash

Thank you for stopping in for a visit...I hope you are enjoying the Fall hop.

I have a giveaway, your choice of the Bird Brain Design pattern
