Betty - That Other Blog

I decided to make some fusible appliqued blocks.

I was looking online for some inspiration.

I found these free printable masks for kids,

 that I thought would be great templates to make my blocks.

So I printed them out.

I managed to get two blocks done.

Here they are:

and block #2

Aren't they wickedly cool?

My teenage boys really like them!!

I had fun making these.

I hope to get more of these blocks done,

and make a lap size Halloween quilt.

I won't be getting it done in time for this years Halloween though.

Don't forget to stop by the other blogs today!!

Maple Leaf Medallion....

Hi everyone!!

I hope you are all having a good weekend.

I finally got some time to sew this evening.

I decided to add a border to the block I made for the "Leaf me Happy" Blog hop.

I had sketched this border in my note book earlier in the week.

I just had to make it.

Here it is.

With the borders on, this block now finishes at 20 inches square.

I decided to use this block for my local guilds BOM quilt challenge.

The guild members are making medallion quilts and we could either make one of the optional patterns provided or start with any block of our choice. 

If you want to see the BOM patterns our guild is sharing just hop on over to my guilds website.

The patterns for their two versions are available for free.

I really like the way this project is coming together.

I hope you like it too!!

My "Leaf Me Happy" Blog Hop Day!!!

Hi everyone!!

Welcome to my day of the "Leaf Me Happy" blog hop.

Today is the last day of the hop.

It's been so much fun seeing all the blocks that were shared.

I'm so inspired by all the participants.

Thanks so much to Madame Samm for coming up with this wonderful Blog Hop.

And thanks so much to Cherry from Cherry Blossoms Quilting Studio for organizing all the bloggers.

Here's my scrappy "Maple Leaves a plenty" block.

I made my block from a paper pieced pattern I purchased here.

The pattern is for one 6 inch finished leaf.

So, I made 4 to make my 12 inch finished block.

I love Maple leaves and I love using scraps.

So this was the perfect combination for me.

I used medium blue as the background fabric because I wanted it to mimic the blue sky.

I've used this pattern before.

I had made a placemat and pot holder for a swap a few years ago.

I had reduced the leaf pattern to 3.5 inches for the placemat,

and used the original pattern for the potholder.

I hope you like my block!

Don't forget to visit the other blogs on the hop today.

Here is the list.

Dots on Dots Blog Hop!!

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying the Dots on Dots Blog Hop.

There has been so many wonderful blocks and projects shared.

Thanks to Corrie and Madame Samm for organizing this event.

I made the Japanese x and + block with my dots fabric.

It's a 10 inch finished block.

I didn't just make one block, but 16 blocks.

If you want to learn how to make this block, I have a tutorial in PDF format for you.

These are part of a bright family lap quilt that I'm making.

My brother and his wife just had their second baby on Saturday.

A beautiful little girl.

So, I made this quilt for all of them.

It will be big enough to cuddle Mommy, and baby and big sister.

And daddy too!!!!

It will be a fun quilt to lay on the floor and play on, or take on a picnic.

I was struggling with what kind of border to use.

Then last week I purchased the book Word Play Quilts by Tonya Ricucci

That gave me the inspiration I needed.

I got three sides done in time for the blog hop.

Here is my quilt top in progress!!

The color words are all made of dotty fabric.

The black is a Kona cotton solid.

Well, I hope to have the quilt top done by the end of the week.

Don't forget to stop by the other blogs in todays hop.

A few color blocks....

Hi everyone,

I finally got some sewing in last night.

I'm working on a baby quilt.

The center panel is done.

Now, I'm working on the border.

It's a color quilt.

The border is going to have the names of the colors found in the quilt.

Here are my first two words.

I'm doing the words using the free pieced technique found in this book.

Word Play Quilts by Tonya Ricucci

It's a lot of fun to make these blocks.

Have you been following the Dots on Dots Blog Hop this week.

The full schedule is available at Quilt Taffy's Blog.

If you didn't check the first weeks participants, I would do that.

Some of them are having giveaways that you don't want to miss,

and the inspiration is tremendous!!!

My day is Tuesday the 18th. 

So, don't forget to stop by.

I'm so thankful for these blog hops.

If it wasn't for them giving me a deadline to sew, I would probably not be doing much sewing.

I've been so busy.

I hope you have a nice day.

Hugs
