<br />
Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville has released the color information for the 2016 Mystery <span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2016/10/en-provence-quiltville-mystery-intro.html">En Provence.</a></span><br />
I plan on following along with the mystery. But I have to honest. Bright colors are out of my comfort zone. But we have put together the <a href="https://www.whittlesfabrics.com/catalog/category/view/s/mystery-bundles/id/406/">Bright fabrics </a>that are like the color chips.<br />
<br />

However, if you have seen very much of my sewing. You will notice I tend to like to sew more <a href="https://www.whittlesfabrics.com/catalog/category/view/s/mystery-bundles/id/406/">Civil War inspired</a> tones. So we have put together a version that uses more Civil War prints.<br />

Lavender in Civil War Fabrics are just about impossible to find. So we used a civil war pink as the Lavender. I just love these colors all together.</div>

We used a Red from the Antique Cotton collection by Pam Buda as the Constant in our Civil War Version. I just love how it has a little of a pink undertone.</div>

Well it is a good thing there are a few weeks between the color picks and the actual start of sewing. It gives me time to get more fat quarters cut packed and ready to ship.</div>

I don't enjoy piecing from scraps, but I do like to piece from fat quarters. So this pattern is perfect for me. Scrappy look without having to use scraps....<br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I was wondering through the shop the other day looking for inspiration and thought that making the Scrapbook in one color way would be interesting. So Red it was...</div>

I just love how you can really see the Cream pop in the pattern. I used a cream Crackle to give the background some texture. The border was a Tan Moda Bella Solid. I had first put a tan print as the border, but after sewing it on, it was just not right. Next to the floral border it was just way to busy.<br />
<br />
There are only 9 large blocks that make up the quilt body. <br />

I have made it several times. As you can see from the previous posts. <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Monterrey Medallions - Black Civil War</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
But I woke up early one morning and thought - How stunning would a Monterrey Medallions in Blue with a scrappy background be? <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FKShsLNULyY/V-vmkJiNRtI/AAAAAAAAANg/Vf9wu-B03YMVmE-cK4Xz52SiOOUidpjbgCK4B/s1600/IMG_1772.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FKShsLNULyY/V-vmkJiNRtI/AAAAAAAAANg/Vf9wu-B03YMVmE-cK4Xz52SiOOUidpjbgCK4B/s1600/IMG_1772.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
I used some wonderful blues. Mostly civil war prints, but a few that had the right tones and blended with the civil war era made its way in there too. I used a scrappy off white background in 12 prints to give it variety and texture.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E-Klg5sUfuk/V-vmvBSg7jI/AAAAAAAAANo/s_4sOZ8_YMob8NJslbzEh7cu-ENYCcnIgCK4B/s1600/IMG_1773.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E-Klg5sUfuk/V-vmvBSg7jI/AAAAAAAAANo/s_4sOZ8_YMob8NJslbzEh7cu-ENYCcnIgCK4B/s400/IMG_1773.jpg" width="300" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The red in the quilt was Moda Marbles. I just love the deep texture it gives compared to a solid red.<br />
<br />
I knew the print that I wanted to use on the back of the quilt. But, the quilt is a 90" x 90" and I just couldn't bring myself to getting 3 widths for just a few inches. Since the quilt doesn't have a border, I couldn't trim a little off, so I decided to make a row with the floating stars from the pattern and alternate it with a solid block. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wTsOchwqEqo/V-vnnGt_QPI/AAAAAAAAANw/yLZZIvCGbgghO0NF2Y9BEPMLD_n82uOMQCK4B/s1600/IMG_1775%2B%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wTsOchwqEqo/V-vnnGt_QPI/AAAAAAAAANw/yLZZIvCGbgghO0NF2Y9BEPMLD_n82uOMQCK4B/s400/IMG_1775%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="295" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It really makes a striking back and I got to use the fabric that I was really wanting to use. I quilted with a basic meander pattern using Permacore Mother Goose thread. <br />
<br />
Thanks for letting me share. It is currently on display at the shop, so if you live close, come visit it in person. We had it on display in our booth at the Elizabethtown, KY quilt show this past weekend and it was definitely an eye catcher.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I have been seeing the Fancy Forest Pattern everywhere and decided that I needed to make it. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3IldsAACbEI/V-K3_PtjmsI/AAAAAAAAAME/w2fXPmFnrIcb6SGMTzIQVzFasz7oXr2SQCK4B/s1600/EH-023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3IldsAACbEI/V-K3_PtjmsI/AAAAAAAAAME/w2fXPmFnrIcb6SGMTzIQVzFasz7oXr2SQCK4B/s400/EH-023.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I spent two day at the shop just trying to get the colors right for my forest friends. The pattern calls for 40 Fat Quarters. So it took a while to get the colors just right for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But now it is hanging on our back wall at the shop. And it makes me smile to see it finished.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RcwP5_k8iPA/V-K7PDeqetI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/SRPmNWIuJ240961WTq1CM6lDkvp1YDIpQCK4B/s1600/IMG_1751.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RcwP5_k8iPA/V-K7PDeqetI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/SRPmNWIuJ240961WTq1CM6lDkvp1YDIpQCK4B/s320/IMG_1751.jpg" width="238" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't have a large window of time to get it finished and didn't want to start it and have to put it away. So I was a girl on a mission. I started on Monday after work and made all the Foxes and Bunnies. I might have spoiled myself because they were the easy ones. Tuesday night I made the Owls, Wednesday night the Hedgehogs, Thursday night the Thistle and finally Friday I made the Firefly. Saturday night I pieced all the blocks together to finished the top and Sunday I go up early to put it in my machine and quilt it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finished in one week. I think the pattern is very well written. I love the organization for cutting the pieces. I used ziplock bags to keep each animal together and to keep it together for my piecing. The pattern also give directions for just doing one of the 4 color quadrants for a baby quilt size. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Friday night my daughter asked me to make her one just like it when I got finished making the shop sample. I think the second one might have to wait a few weeks.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I quilted with a simple meander and backed the quilt with a grey and teal/green wave print.</div>

<br />
Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
It has been a long time since I have blogged. I am sorry to taken so long to get back in the blogging seat. I usually blog about the shop sample we have added or new things in the shop. But this blog is going to be about the changes to our website. <br />
<br />
<br />
We were contacted last fall that the host and developer of our website had sold their business and our website (as well as may others) were being aquired by a different company that also specialized in the online fabric industry. However, it has been a hard several months with the changes and there was the feeling of a ticking time bomb of finding our website the right home.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.whittlesfabrics.com/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="176" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4pvCncWnKE/V7htktTuMCI/AAAAAAAAAmw/ZmnGkujPe9oc9eKq8Xcr2p1b0N6mtKxCQCK4B/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-08-20%2Bat%2B9.46.43%2BAM.png" width="320" /></a><br />
We tried several different companies, every tutorial and trial we could find. The challenge is being able to find a platform that can allow fractional quantities. So that our customers can order in increments less than 1 and fractions over 1. I think we have found a good fit. I am still learning about different features or how things might work differently. <br />

I want to thank all of you for hanging in there and not shaming me about being a bad blogger. Here at Whittles, we all wear many hats. We are a team of 5. So the same person that creates shop samples and kits is the same person who makes them and quilts them. The same people that take care of our customers in store are the same people who pack and fill each online order. Unfortunetly, blogging just fell down on the list. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
But I am so glad to be at a place where I can take some time to get a blog post in. I think we are back at a place where it can be more of a part of our process and I look forward to sharing more with you.<br />
<br />
I look forward to catching up on all my projects that we have finished here at the shop.<br />

We have several shop samples hanging at the shop. As many may know I am a big fan of the Calico Carriage Quilt Designs Patterns. I have made the Migration in the Past in earth tones. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I found this wonderful Black with Red Roses and it just felt like a Migration fabric. Here is an overall photo of the quilt.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Close up of the center. I just love this pattern. It is one that many people look at and think that it will be difficult, but with the directions it is very simple and everything fits together. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used several Civil War fabrics. The pattern calls for 70 different fabrics. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a solid Moda Bella sashing and made my corner stones from a very small scale black print. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a tan Civil War Backing and Tan thread. I quilted using a damask pattern. I used a Bamboo/Cotton Blended Batting for the first time. It was so soft and nice. I must say I LIKED IT. </div>
<br />

I had tried a couple of patterns, but it was just not doing the fabric justice. So I decided to try simple. I have made the Big & Bold by Cozy Quilt Designs before. In the <a href="http://www.whittlesfabrics.blogspot.com/2014/04/big-bold-and-beautiful.html">Bold and Beautiful Fabrics.</a> <br />

I just love how this patten is simple and really just lets the fabrics be the focus of the quilt. It is a nice easy quilt to make. Great for after some more intense sewing that I have been working on.</div>

I used the Turning Twenty - Simply Sashed booklet by Tricia Cribbs. I have many of her booklets and this one is my favorite. The pattern I used from the booklet was the Stained Glass Pattern. Finished Quilt is 75" x 92". But can be easily made larger with the addition of a border.<div>

When we got the Marvel Comics fabrics in I knew that we would have to make a quilt with them (my husband immediately claimed). We just seldom get fabrics in that are so versatile and make great quilt kits for boy, teens and men.</div>

The Stained Glass pattern in the booklet worked perfect for a comic quilt since the black sashing really matches the look of comic book pages.</div>

<br />
I have just got back from my Daughter's school where I presented them with a signature quilt the kids helped make. The school is following a program called The Leader in Me. I was excited to help create a quilt that will hang in the school entry.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5DSyRwmuzc8/VMu0ypJbm5I/AAAAAAAAACI/T6vpfgp_C_U/s1600/IMG_0932.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5DSyRwmuzc8/VMu0ypJbm5I/AAAAAAAAACI/T6vpfgp_C_U/s1600/IMG_0932.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sent fabric squares for each student to school along with a Fabric Signature Pen. I used a Tee Juice Pen (I should say, several pens). Pre-school and Kindergarten signed their names to the pieces for bark. And 1st - 4th grade were all the leaves.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qeT7H_0NG38/VMu0yY4ZGNI/AAAAAAAAACE/JxqGGwASS9M/s1600/IMG_0933.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qeT7H_0NG38/VMu0yY4ZGNI/AAAAAAAAACE/JxqGGwASS9M/s1600/IMG_0933.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The kids signed their names to the block and cut out the leaf shape they wanted on the tree. <br />
I collected all the leaves and bark pieces and appliquéd them to the tree. I thought the tree needed a little color, so I made the ribbon and blue birds. The school mascot is a red bulldog, so after many attempts of drawing a bulldog, this one was the best version.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rrVKu2QBCVw/VMu0yl-grFI/AAAAAAAAACM/NInm9kzVK14/s1600/IMG_0934.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rrVKu2QBCVw/VMu0yl-grFI/AAAAAAAAACM/NInm9kzVK14/s1600/IMG_0934.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Around the border of the quilt, I quilted the Seven Habits that the school uses in The Leader in Me program. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How many leaves? I lost count. But there is about 420 students and I added a few blank leaves and bark pieces, so that if anyone is missing, we can have them sign it and not be left out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How many stitches? A gazillion. But now I have the appliqué bug again, and have been looking for some more things to stitch down.</div>

I quilted it with a simple cotton seed quilting pattern. I just fell in love with the blue border fabric. But blue is my color. I tend to make everything blue if I am not careful. </div>

I had been holding on to a piece of red and black print from the Tavern Red collections just waiting for the right project. I haven't found a pattern from Debbie Maddy that I didn't love. I think they are so well written and easy to follow. Every time I make one of their patterns, I am amazed at how fast it finishes. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My version is in Civil War fabrics. The border is a Tavern Red paisley print. And the star points come from many of the Civil War collections in Black and Red. I used Moda Bella Natural for the Background and Solid Moda Bella for the borders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can tell it is a large 90" x 102". If you have tried a Calico Carriage Quilt Designs patterns, then you know how easy they are to piece. The star does not use diamonds and there are no Y seams to worry about. My suggestion when picking one out is make sure the fabrics used are non-directional and have enough tonal motion that when seamed together, you do not notice the seam.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a cream on cream for the back of the quilt and bound it with the same fabric as the Large Border.</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">I had this pattern booklet for a while now and could not decide what colors or if I wanted to make it scrappy like the photo on the pattern booklet. But then we started getting in all the blacks in the Inkwell and American Gothic collections. I just knew it was perfect for this stunning quilt. It is now hanging at the shop.</span></div>

I used one solid Moda Bella Natural - 12 for the background and the Moda Bella Kansas Red -120 for the contrast fabric. The book has patterns for two version Simple and Challenge. We chose the Challenge version, the main visual difference is the red fabrics. But I think that is what gives this pattern it's AHHHH!!! </div>

This one is a change from my normal sewing. Most of my Civil War quilts are dark. This one is light and bright. The background is a tan on cream print. I used a solid civil war blue for the set-in triangles. Most of the colored blocks are tonal prints. The outside border and binding is a solid Moda Bella Natural. I just love how simple and clean the quilt looks.<br />

The pattern called for 18 different lights for the background of the pieced blocks. However, I thought it looked took away from all the piecing in the blocks. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The alternating squares are a rosie pink from the Pin Money Collection. The pattern showed a bubble gum pink, but I like the aged look this piece brings to the pattern.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The blocks have 18 different prints from various civil war fabrics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I quilted the quilt using a Large Feather.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my favorite block. I am not usually a purple fan. But I just love the little pop of color that the purple brings to the quilt. </div>

And over the next few post hopefully you can see some of the things I have finished. First is the Parker's Crossing by Red Crinoline Quilts. This is a new pattern that the Red Crinoline just released. I was so excited to find fabrics that I thought look perfect for my living room.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.whittlesfabrics.com/shop/product/parkers-crossing/" target="_blank"><img alt=" Parker's Crossing" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a6vX2NGxUQc/U_TjKfTndqI/AAAAAAAAAhE/wVUkwSuq5Q4/s1600/parker5.jpg" height="266" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The all over photo of our shop sample.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I quilted each block with a medallion. I used a beautiful gold print for the alternate block and set in triangles.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bc6zgbFb1XI/U_TjRjdCJMI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/DCK7w2SsAjM/s1600/parker3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bc6zgbFb1XI/U_TjRjdCJMI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/DCK7w2SsAjM/s1600/parker3.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a Brown star print from the Freedom Rings collection for the backing.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this black block. My eye goes right to it every time I spread the quilt out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please note that if you are going to use this pattern, my copy had a typo in the cutting directions. We have corrected all our copies at the shop, but if you get it from somewhere else please make the adjustment, or you will have several mis-cut blocks like me. The gold alternate block should be cut 12.5". The directions had 10.5". </div>

I just finished quilting the Due South by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We used 20 light Fat Quarters and 10 Print fat quarters. I think the lights are so comforting. I love all the geese flying. </div>
<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pattern makes a 72" x 80". But the pieced border make it great for adjusting to a larger size by just adding an additional border.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the stars sprinkled in the geese. The cool grey, bright blue, cozy greens and gold tones are so comforting. I think it look so cool for summer.</div>
<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a tan on cream backing to keep it light. I quilted it with a butterfly and flower pattern. </div>

Very quick and easy to make. It was nice to piece a quilt that I didn't have to think about. Just Sew..... </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a Moda 108" for the backing and quilted it with an allover Damask Pattern.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I just love how complex their patterns look, but they are so simple. The queen is a large 90" x 102".<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the fabrics from the Harvest Palette by Molly B's Studio for Marcus Brothers. Brown and rust are not usually my color palette, but I just love this combination.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c3DeKOz8NMo/U2pdZlb2KNI/AAAAAAAAAd8/YRd9Sjcu0OA/s1600/GC184.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c3DeKOz8NMo/U2pdZlb2KNI/AAAAAAAAAd8/YRd9Sjcu0OA/s1600/GC184.jpg" height="320" width="201" /></a></div>
<br />
So when then I walked past the section at the shop that had the Party of Twelve fabrics it was just screaming Little Trips. I think it looks so vintage. Just like something my Grandmother would have made. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0eCmDJyZJio/U2pdaH4cfKI/AAAAAAAAAeI/UP_cZbaqt1A/s1600/IMG_0551.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0eCmDJyZJio/U2pdaH4cfKI/AAAAAAAAAeI/UP_cZbaqt1A/s1600/IMG_0551.jpg" height="270" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried to get an overall photo of the quilt. But it is huge a 91" by 103". </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5MuqNMm1w0c/U2pdZbttHGI/AAAAAAAAAd4/H3lmyab5PXA/s1600/IMG_0549.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5MuqNMm1w0c/U2pdZbttHGI/AAAAAAAAAd4/H3lmyab5PXA/s1600/IMG_0549.jpg" height="239" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love how the pieced border keeps the background square. It makes the little trips just float.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6SIiGWDCEzA/U2pdZuJyUHI/AAAAAAAAAeE/JxQLe7W7gec/s1600/IMG_0550.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6SIiGWDCEzA/U2pdZuJyUHI/AAAAAAAAAeE/JxQLe7W7gec/s1600/IMG_0550.jpg" height="320" width="250" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a hard time deciding how to quilt it. But finally decided to quilt in the ditch. I don't usually quilt in the ditch but this called for the extra work.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CLUoIL5u7Vw/U2pdaaqGfJI/AAAAAAAAAeU/NhURGiTj0t0/s1600/IMG_0553.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CLUoIL5u7Vw/U2pdaaqGfJI/AAAAAAAAAeU/NhURGiTj0t0/s1600/IMG_0553.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I picked out a simple cream with a little circle from the Party of Twelve and of course I had to bind it in blue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully it will give you ideas of what to do with your Party of Twelve.</div>

I just love the bright fun funky owls. I choose to machine applique the owls and trees.</div>

We have a friend of the family who is expecting a new grandson and they are very big football fans.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So of course I had to make something football themed for them.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-37Yk9Y59h4A/U0MNqghpoKI/AAAAAAAAAcs/OV0ZOf2dcjI/s1600/IMG_0457.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-37Yk9Y59h4A/U0MNqghpoKI/AAAAAAAAAcs/OV0ZOf2dcjI/s1600/IMG_0457.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a diaper clutch. I stitched white lines on the green grass looking fabric and made the numbers on the sideline with iron on transfer vinyl. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u8zfidYRvIs/U0MNq2X5TQI/AAAAAAAAAc4/a_yTGmlSEeo/s1600/IMG_0458.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u8zfidYRvIs/U0MNq2X5TQI/AAAAAAAAAc4/a_yTGmlSEeo/s1600/IMG_0458.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I put fold in pockets for diapers and wipes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Tr7eGaJVbeg/U0MNrfyd7AI/AAAAAAAAAdA/RhUOPFGBEoE/s1600/IMG_0461.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Tr7eGaJVbeg/U0MNrfyd7AI/AAAAAAAAAdA/RhUOPFGBEoE/s1600/IMG_0461.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used iron on transfer vinyl for the Touchdown in the end zone. I used light weight clear vinyl over the inside</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so that it can be easily cleaned.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the outside I appliqued a football.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a few more weeks until the baby shower. So if you know who it is for....keep it a secret.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks,</div>
