Ruby's Block Hop: Day 2

We're bringing you another blog hop this week! 

Six designers have been playing with the Vintage 30's Ruby's Treasures collection by Barbara J. Eikmeier. They've chosen blocks from Ruby Short McKim's book, 101 Patchwork Patterns (download here--this is such a fantastic resource for blocks). You'll also have a chance to win some of this beautiful fabric for yourself!

Today's block was stitched by Donna Lynn Thomas, and it has plenty of movement--watch it spin! If the math side of quilting intrigues you, Donna shares how she enlarged the block to 12" square finished. Head over to her blog: you'll see her second colorway and learn how she chose which prints to use to create a 3-D effect, try out her bonus project, and enter to win a fabric bundle for yourself!

Here's the schedule for the blog hop--be sure to visit each day!

Ocean Sunrise Quilt Show and Tell: Part 2

Back in the spring, we sponsored the Ocean Sunrise Blog Hop featuring our Painter's Palette Solids. The three hostesses: Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirl, Cheryl from Meadow Mist Designs, and Stephanie from Late Night Quilter, selected this mouth-watering color palette. 

After the hop ended, participants mailed their blocks to the hostesses so they could assemble them into quilts to donate to charity. 

Today we're showing the quilt that Yvonne finished:

Look at her beautiful, dense quilting:

Even those all of these blocks are different, the palette allows the design to flow together seamlessly. 

Yvonne found a very special recipient for this quilt--a friend's husband who is fighting cancer for the second time. We echo Yvonne's hope that this quilt brings him comfort and healing. 

See Yvonne's post on this finished quilt here.

You can check out all of the great blocks along with their tutorials on Jayne @ Twiggy and Opal's Pinterest page.

Thanks for sharing, Yvonne!

Ocean Sunrise Charity Quilt Show and Tell

Back in the spring, we sponsored the Ocean Sunrise Blog Hop featuring our Painter's Palette Solids. The three hostesses: Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirl, Cheryl from Meadow Mist Designs, and Stephanie from Late Night Quilter, selected this mouth-watering color palette. 

After the hop ended, participants mailed their blocks to the hostesses so they could assemble them into quilts to donate to charity. 

Today we're showing the quilt that Cheryl finished using these blocks:

Beautiful, isn't it?! It's fun to see how all of these different blocks fit together to make an eye-catching quilt, linked by the color palette. 

Cheryl is donating this quilt to the Greenville Hospital System in South Carolina where it will go to a child that was recently taken from their home into protective services.

See Cheryl's post on this finished quilt here.

Ocean Sunrise Blog Hop: Day 3

Hello! Today is the third and last day of the Ocean Sunrise Blog Hop!
 

We're excited to be sponsoring a blog hop this week featuring our Painter's Palette Solids and blocks from more than 35 bloggers. Each blogger will be sharing a tutorial for a block they've created using a six-fabric bundle of solids. 

And of course, no blog hop is complete without giveaways--over the course of the hop, you'll have six chances to win a 1/2 yard bundle of the blog hop's color palette (the only hard part will be deciding which blocks to make!). 

This block hop was organized by three lovely hostesses: Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirl, Cheryl from Meadow Mist Designs, and Stephanie from Late Night Quilter, who also selected this mouth-watering color palette. Thanks, ladies! 

Here's a look at the colors (plus white), along with their names and SKUs for easy reference:

Swatches from left: Midnight (121-002), Daydream (121-031), Peach (121-044), Coral (121-049), Bordeaux (121-030)
