Day 6 {Giveaway} A Medley of Fun!

I know it has been a long, long week of giveaways!  And we are almost at the end of it! Hang in there...only one more day after today!

Today's offering is a fun, festive and frivolous concoction of goodness!  A virtual potpourri of trinkets, a medley of mayhem, a patchwork of things or as I like to say a 'gallimaufry' of gadgets! Actually I don't say that, but I saw the word and thought it was hilarious!



I always love getting little things.  Small bits and pieces.  Tiny treasures.  And that is exactly what this basket is full of.  Things!

The basket many of you might recognize, the Pixie Basket.  A super fun, easy and fast little project!  Perfect for those times when you want to sew something quick.  The pattern/tutorial is available here:  Pixie Basket Tutorial , courtesy of Fabric Mutt! 



I thought it would be cute using my meek stash of selvages.  So I set about making a panel that would accommodate the pattern and made the 'vessel' for the goodies! 

  

Thistle Flower Sugar from Lecien Fabrics scraptastic leftovers!  I made a quilt in 2015 for a little girl :: Finished and Loved using this bundle.  While the fabric is sweet as can be, it isn't me.  I know there is someone who would and could use these...please?!  the smallest piece is 4" x 6" and the sizes go up from there.



And the trinket part, a mini notepad, two (2) zippers, quilting needle pack, oil cloth coin purse, two (2) bobbin buddies and a small spool of Aurifil thread.  An assortment.



They always say:  good things come in small packages!  I'm going to agree with that statement!

You know what you gotta do now?!  Answer the question to be in the running to win!  

Here it is:

Do your Christmas lights twinkle or not?

Thank You!

Finished and Loved

I have been lucky enough to have some pretty wonderful customers over the years.  I enjoy working with people to get just what they want (even if they don't know what that is).  

Last year I was asked it I could make a quilt for a little girl using one of my designs (I still haven't made it in to a pattern).  This was the finished quilt and happily received.

Pretty Much Caught Up

That little girl has a sister and it was time she got her very own quilt too! We started by finding just the right fabric.  Eventually we arrived at this beautiful bundle from the Fat Quarter Shop.

Thistle Flower Sugar ~ Lecien Fabrics

The plan was to keep it similar to the first one (they share a room), but not the same.  I threw out a few ideas and we settled on a design.  It would have square Shoo-Fly blocks, but also some elongated rectangles.

Something Like This

Once I figured out what size the blocks would be it was time to become a piecing machine!!

There are five different blocks needed for this quilt.  There was plenty of 'pretties' to pick from with the fat quarter bundle. I was well on my way to getting all the blocks pieced and ready for the top assembly.

First was getting the blocks and colors evenly distributed from top to bottom.  Figuring out the correct size of the white  pieces was a little bit of a challenge.  Once I got the math part out of the way it was smooth sailing!

I ended up changing the pattern just a little bit.  Adding a random square print helped bring it all together. 

Finished top!  Like the first quilt, I used Kona White for the background.  It highlights the sweet prints so well!

57" x 80"

For the quilting I went with 2" diagonal lines.  Very similar to the first quilt!

The back is Kona Honeysuckle with a pieced strip of prints.

And of course little sister had to have a coordinating bookmark just like her big sister!  And that my friends is the 'cherry on top'!!
