As a member, I was invited to one of their fabulous sales at the American Quilter Store.
I must say, I was pleased with the ease of shopping, timely delivery and a fantastic packaging!

The box was covered in cute, encouraging words~

I ordered a huge stack of quilting books at a wonderful price and they were wrapped and securely packaged inside the container.

And you can see those adorable fairy scissors I ordered as well. More on those to follow!

I will be ordering from their store again! I love that my books came to me crisp and wonderfully New!

Another Sneak Peak! Welcome to My House Blog Hop

Our houses will be OPEN! Come join Carol of Just Let Me Quilt and myself in a fun blog hop showing off our houses! There will be tutorials, patterns and maybe even give-aways!

                        Here is a sneak peak of one of the Favorite Items in my house.

It is chock full of quilts I've made. There are dowels to support the quilts and  it even has a lock and key! Fabulous! (I've even stuffed a few folded quilts in the back bottom that you cannot see!) - Found at a local home-town furniture store in Spencer, WV. 

                                              

Sunbonnet Sue Baby Quilt

I used the Go! Sunbonnet Sue Fabric Die from Accuquilt to cut out lots of these cute little appliques and blanket stitched in black around several to achieve a faux-vintage look.

You can find the Sunbonnet Sue embroidery designs here. I used the blanket stitch feature on my domestic machine and achieved the same look if you want to give that a try as well.

I discovered someone dear to me had a baby!! Exciting!!! I found some adorable butterfly fabrics to incorporate into the sashing and border to tone down those vibrant pinks and purples. I love the way the flimsy has turned out!

Now on to getting the quilting completed and sending this off to the sweet little babe!

Camera Fun

I was playing around with my camera ~ it is nothing all that special. But I am astounded by the features. Seriously, I've been using this camera for over four years and just figured this out.

This is one of my favorites. It is a black and white feature that captures the reds in the screen. Wow!

  Play with your camera and find out what it can do for your photos of quilts! I have to get a photo shoot with one of my quilts with lots of red in it!

                                                      Until then, Happy Quilting!

Camping/Glamping

So many patterns for a "Glamping Quilt".



You can find this kit called Let's Go Glamping at the Quilting Company.



The Glamping Gypsies Quilt Pattern at Annie's Craft Store,



And this funky & fun "Welcome Home" Flannel Glamping Quilt Kit at Hingeley Road Quilt Shop.

Here is a Glimpse of my fun day of Glamping~  HAPPY SHOPPING!

Flower Affinity~

I must confess, I have a slight affection to flowers - like flowers every where in the yard kind of flowers~

While I was out thrifting I ran across this adorable collection of fabrics~  And of course I forgot to collect the designer information to share with you. I must do that ASAP!

Isn't it just the most adorable prints! What to make?

I am looking at the Friendship Quilt by Amanda Herring Designs. It is a Quilt Along and is only into the 2nd tutorial so you have time to follow along too. Check out her blog to see the quilt!

And you still have time to order the Friendship Quilt Along Kit using Amanda's fabric line "Hello, Lovely" at Fat Quarter Shop. I love to shop with them!

I tried out Adobe Spark for today's photos. I like the simple collages to collect a sample of photos together~
