Isn't this just the most festive little town?

We simply cut the panel apart and added borders for a quick table runner.


We took the leftover blocks from the panel and made this table mat.

I designed 4 patterns featuring this line of fabric.

A block-of-the-month pattern

 Adel in Summer

Today is my day to introduce to you Adel in Summer. It is the last and final line of the Adel Series. If you are unfamiliar with the series, it is based on my Grammie and her practice of using a fruit jar for a vase. I did a line for each of the seasons with the panel featuring flowers in a fruit jar.

Zinnias appear in the Summer fruit jar.

I have designed 4 patterns featuring this fabric.


#778 Summer at Grammies

Every summer I would spend some time at my Grammie's house.

This block of the Month quilt features all the images engraved in my memory from those visits.

The garden was growing, chickens were running free, can goods were being put up for the winter and the zinnias were blooming.


#779 In a Fruit Jar-Summer
This time instead of featuring flowers in a fruit jar in the runner pattern, I decided to feature can goods as summer was all about canning fruits, vegetables, jams, and jellies to have ready for the long Minnesota winters.
A 5" stacker is used for the checkerboard border.
This pattern will be offered as a kit by Riley Blake Designs.
The kit comes in a cute little fruit jar-shaped kit box.


#780 On the Run
This pattern features chickens running through the zinnias.
A 5" stacker is used for the checkerboard border.


#781 Twist and Turn
This is a Fat Quarter Friendly pattern.

If you would like to view the prints in this line, check out the storyboard here.

Hush Hush 2 Ornament Challenge

 Hello,

Today is my day to share my ornament featuring Riley Blake Designs Hush Hush Two low-volume fabric line. 


Twenty-one Riley Blake Designs designers each created a print for this line.


My print has been named Tiny Town and is another version of one of my favorite motifs - houses.

The challenge put before us by Riley Blake Designs was to design a Christmas Ornament that would fit in a 3" embroidery hoop using multiple fabrics from the line. 


For my ornament, I decided to make a wreath with bead berries.
I was sad that I could only use 5 different fabrics in my project. Yikes! Three inches is tiny!


  I solved that problem by making a table mat using 
 the wreath blocks along with pieced spacer blocks.
By doing this, I could use all 21 prints in the line!


You can find the instructions for the ornament and the table mat here.
I hope you enjoy making these projects. 
Christopher Thomas of The Tattooed Quilter is also showing his ornament today.
Check it out here
Please post your pictures using the Hush Hush 2 line of fabric use #hushush2fabric
Happy making!
Sandy
