Sunday Stash – Lula Magnolia

 

I love happy mail days and the last weeks, were really great, received every day a package, okay not every day fabric of course. But this would be even more amazing. A few days ago I got this wonderful bundle in the mail.

Lula Magnolia and its perfect for little project Hubby requested, coz he really doesnt want to get pink and greens and he asked politely for some blue please, I had nearly none, so I stocked up a bit. *g*

I thought its time to participate for the first time in the Sunday Stash. Last week I received 2 georgous bundles, and want to show you the first of them. Already cut into it for some Churn Dash Blocks.

WIP Wednesday – Happy Mail and 2 Finishes

Yesterday was a happy mail day over here, already started planning some more projects with my new Bundles. I got Hothouse Flowers & Sweet As Honey, my first sidekick ruler by jaybirquilts and over 100 zippers from zipit.

Finished:

Circle of Geese Pillow -– Got so excited when my new printer arrived, so I had to do some paper piecing. Totally missed it the last 2 years without. And the best part its already finished. Glad my zippers arrived yesterday. Did a zipper closure and for the first time it worked like a charm no struggling or ripping out a thousand times, just one try and perfect fit. Why cant they all be this way? Will do a separate post with more close-up shots soon.



Pouch for my father -– This one is also finished since yesterday and I totally like it. Its really big, 12” wide, but he requested it this way. I used again the tutorial by 1/4 inch mark. Also included pockets inside. Now just hoping he likes it. 

Ongoing:

Once Upon A Time Sampler -– finished finally my April block, yeah I know Im a bit behind. Totally love this block with Goldilocks and the three bears –- the cutest

*Won* So Happy Together from Bloomerie

Im such a lucky girl, I won a give-away at Gen X Quilters blog from the Bloomerie Shop – “So Happy Together” Collection by Riley Blake.

And Im so in love with the fabric, I decided to make a babyquilt for little one, due in late september.

Cut into it yesterday and sewed 9-patch-blocks today together. Just need now sashing and arranging them.

Star Surround QAL

This is the first time Im joining a Quilt-A-Long and Im totally excited. I decided on a cushion, coz there is a new one on my to-do-list since a few month now, and my Kona Solids are waiting for it. This is just the perfect pattern. This are the colors I have chosen.

WIP Wednesday

I started on something new, this fat quarter bundle with yummy pink Kona Colors was laying around far too long. And I decided to use it for little Enyas bedquilt.

Not all colors are shown in the pic, I just picked 12 different colors, and started cutting. for a triangle quilt. With colors from light to dark.

Sorry this pic is a bit off with colors, but have done over 200 triangles. Total it should be about 504. Still some to cut, till I can start.
