Red White and Bang!

Today is my day to be featured on the Riley Blake Designs Virtual Market Facebook page.

A video featuring my Red White and Bang line of fabric will air Thursday, November 11 at 12:00. MST on the Riley Blake Designs Virtual Market Facebook page. 

Here is the link to the page group -you must join the group to be able to participate. 

And here is a link to the schedule.

This line is based on fond childhood memories of a neighborhood 4th of July picnic.

Every year our neighbors, the Wedebrands, had a 4th of July picnic. We always played croquet, ate watermelon, and ran through sprinklers at this celebration.  The prints in this line of fabric echo those memories.

The BOM sampler quilt using this line of fabric was not quite finished in time for the shooting of the video. It is now finished and ready for your viewing.

The name of the pattern is Summer Sampler.

Riley Blake Designs is offering this as a kit.

The kit comes in this adorable pickup truck box.

This little lunch box is a gift item featured with this line of fabric.

Use it to store your fabrics and supplies...or use it for a lunch box.

Who doesn't like the convenience of a wideback?

Available in 3 colorways.

In the 70's I had a skort made out of fabric very similar to this.

If you are younger than 55 you most likely do not know what a skort is.

A skort is a mix of a skirt and shorts - skort.

Speaking of making things.

Would you like to know how to make these fireworks flowers?

Follow the Blue Bird

Are you following along with Riley Blake Designs famous bluebird, celebrating the launch of Hush Hush, RBD’s very first low-volume designer fabric collection? 

From now until the end of the month the RBD designers behind these fabulous low volume prints will be sharing a project featuring one of three piecing techniques (traditional patchwork, foundation paper piecing, and applique).

I choose to do my project, which I have named Fall Ya All, using the traditional patchwork method.

I used all 21 of the Hush Hush prints in my scrappy project.

I have had a long love affair with houses, therefore my print features little houses. I choose to fussy cut the houses so a tiny little house lands in the center of each of the stars in the quilt.

Here are just a few of the houses in my collection.

This house is special as it was made by a friend of ours using the lath from a wall that was removed in our 1890 Victorian Farmhouse.

With our grandchild total now being four, I thought it was time to do a kids line of fabric.

Adelyn our oldest with her cousin Adrian, our youngest.

She takes her big cousin duties very seriously.

Sullivan is our #2 grandchild and is Adleyn's brother.

He has curls just like his daddy did.

#3 grandchild is Andersen he is Adrian's big brother.

He loves pizza!

When the kids come home we usually spend most of our time at our cabin exploring the creatures that live in and around the lake. I decided to do a line based on these creatures. No, we do not have alligators here in Iowa. We do have a friendly mink that walks around our pier every day. However, I do not find mink to be very cute so I decided to do an alligator instead. Hence the fabric line Later Alligator was created.

The main print.

I made Al a new romper using my favorite print from the line.

I designed 4 new patterns featuring this line of fabric.

#704 Later Alligator.

The wave, alligator scutes, and teeth are dimensional for added fun!

#705 Jacks and Jelly Beans

This quilt uses 2 Charm Pack and 2 Moda Candy

#706 Sail Away  - crib size

A complete alphabet is included.

#706 Sail Away -  twin size 

#707 What's your name - boy

This pattern uses two Moda Candy.

#707 What's your name - girl.

This pattern also includes the complete alphabet.

Nuts and Bolts

This will be a PDF pattern for any shop owner purchasing the Later Alligator fabric line.

This is a fat quarter friendly pattern and finishes 54" X 65".

If you purchased the line send me an email I and I will send you the PDF pattern.

Unfortunately, I  will not be able to attend market this year. I will miss seeing all of you!

See you in the spring in Kansas City.

Happy Quilting,

Sandy

The panel features inspirational saying and cheater blocks.

The little triangles on the shoo fly block are only about 1/2"- Aren't you glad it is a cheater!

I cut the panel apart and pieced the blocks into this sampler quilt.

So when you subtract out all of the pre-printed blocks in the is the quilt, there really are not that many blocks to make!

Next up is pattern #738 Flutterby.

This quilt has tons of movement and is made using a 10" Oh Happy Day Stacker.

And the last pattern is #739 Sew Good.

From the Heart

 

Today is my day to be featured on the Riley Blake Designs Virtual Market Facebook page.

Here is the link to the group -you must join the group to be able to participate.

A video featuring my From the Heart line of fabric will air at 3:00 p.m. MST on the Riley Blake Designs Virtual Market Facebook page.

Bruce and I just celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary. Quite often the hubby writes little notes and tapes them to my mirror. These little notes were the inspiration for this line of fabric. All of my fabric lines start out with pencil drawings of images that I would like to include on the panel. These drawings are eventually filled with colors. Although this time I decided to leave them as drawing much like the little notes that my husband leaves me.

 

The panel features four larger 8" blocks and twelve 4" love note blocks.

I designed 3 patterns using this line of fabric.

This pattern is #734 From the Heart.

There are two projects in this pattern.

This one features the large squares from the panel. 

One of the little notes from the hubby.

I like it so much I had to frame it.

It sets on my desk.

This one features the small squares from the panel.

Two projects for the price of one!

#735 Red White and Just Right

I love a red and white quilt!

Love the border on this one.

#736 On Top Of It

This pattern features 4 quick and easy table toppers.

You can make all four projects with one From the Heart 10" Stacker!

The line consists of red and white print some with a valentine theme and 

some great timeless prints.

Be sure to follow me on all my social media accounts!

Stop back tomorrow when I blog about my next line of fabric Oh Happy Day.

This line will also be featured on the Riley Blake Designs Virtual Market Facebook page at 5:45 p.m.

MST.

Happy quilting,

Sandy
