Sparkler

This is another amazing quilt by Reg.

I just had to share it with you.

So when it is raining outside and you just want to stay inside, have fun
and make an amazing quilt.


Maybe even a Sparkler.

Happy Sewing,
Darla

Flowers and Stars

Two by Two: Flowers and Stars Series Quilt Pattern  Designed by HOLLY HOLDERMAN Made by PAM VIEIRA-McGINNIS Machine Quilted by DARLA PADILLA

Welcome to the Two by Two series quilt pattern! Six types of flower blocks are each made in 2 different fabric combinations for a colorful garden you'll love to stitch. The look of curved piecing in the flower blocks is achieved by fussy-cut scallop-print fabrics...no curved seams at all! In this first lesson of 7, you'll make 2 A blocks, with pretty on-point squares at their centers.

Now all you need to do is buy the McCall's Quick Quilts Dec/Jan 2016 issue to get started.

SNOW DAY, SEW DAY

Aren't these snow people cute!

It is so hard to think about Christmas, when it is 90 degrees outside.

Hopefully it will get cooler soon, and I can start thinking about making Christmas quilts.  But for now, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
