January through June

I'll just point out that my bundle was May.  You know...in case you wanna vote for it!  A little friendly competition never hurt anyone!

July through November

I've known Bernie for a couple few years now, and have come to admire and respect her.  She is a kind and generous sole who loves fabric and is more than happy to share her passion with all of us.  This giveaway shows her generosity and her giving spirit.  Take a look at her shop, read her blog and by all means go enter this giveaway!

NEEDLE & FOOT 2018 Blogger Bundle Giveaway 

Voting starts Tuesday December 11 🔺Giveaway ends Saturday December 15 

Winner will be drawn Sunday December 16 🔺 Open to US only 

Blogger Bundle + Needle & Foot Fabrics = {Giveaway}

You guys!  This is so exciting!  I created a bundle of fabric...and it's all about prints!  When I was asked if I would curate a bundle for Bernie's Etsy Store Needle & Foot, I didn't hesitate and said yes!  I couldn't resist the opportunity...and hoped I'd be able to put together something wonderful!

  

I'm excited to share my bundle with everyone and hope you love it as much as I do!  I wanted to pick fabrics that were Spring inspired, geometric and really just a lot of fun!  Like a great big fiesta!  A celebration of frivolity! 

May Blogger Bundle
Available Here!

Picking a cohesive bundle of fabric is much like picking flowers to plant!  So many options!  It can be overwhelming!  But, I'm here to help you out!  This bundle will be available in Fat Quarter and Half yard bundles at Needle & Foot on Etsy.  And if you buy today or tomorrow, you can get 20% off!  Great deal, right?!  Click here:  May Blogger Bundle to purchase and get 20% off!

From left to right:  Rainbow Vines by Kim Shaefer for Andover, Pick Up Sticks by Kim Shaefer for Andover, Panda Patches by Katarina Roccella for Art Gallery, Basic Circles by Laurel Burch for Clothworks, Flourish in Perriwinkle by Alison Glass for Andover and Yellow Color Weave by PB Textiles.

When I say Rainbow Vines, you know I couldn't resist!  The colors scream Spring!  I didn't want to go 'crazy' with colors, so I choose yellow and periwinkle to lighten the mood, yet went with black to ground it!  I know, I sound like I know what I'm talking about!  In reality I went with my gut!

I had big plans to make a finished something for this post!  A last minute vacation and a whole lot of procrastinating didn't help me at all!  I finally made myself focus long enough to make the blocks for my 'soon to be finished' project for this fabric!

I've been longing to do some paper piecing!  The block is by Flying Parrot Quilts and is free when you sign up for her newsletter.    

  

So far I have four blocks of each color.  Each block will be 4" finished.  I'm not sure how I'll arrange them, but I do know I'm going to make more!  Perhaps a nice crisp table runner?!

Thank you so much Bernie for trusting me with curating a bundle!  I may be a bit biased, but I love this bundle!  Please hop over to Bernie's Blog and read more about this bundle:  Needle & Foot Blog!

Needle & Foot Giveaway Winner!

I can't tell you how much fun I had participating in Bernie's Grand Opening Celebration!  I'm so thankful she asked me to be a part of her new adventure!  It not only was exciting and let me work with some amazing fabrics, but I also got to try a pattern that has been on my list for a long, long time!

Thanks to everyone who threw their name in the hat!  But enough of that!!  The winner, who was chosen by The Random Number Generator is.....

Congratulations Nancy!  Have fun shopping at Needle & Foot!

Needle & Foot Blog Hop Celebration + GIVEAWAY!

I was thrilled and honored when asked if I would join this Blog Hop in celebration of Needle & Foot Fine Fabrics Grand Opening!  Bernie has been feverishly filling her Etsy shop with all kinds of beauties for you and me!  And to celebrate there will be a funtastic giveaway!!

Needle & Foot Fine Fabrics on Etsy

But first, let's get down to business!  Bernie provided me with a beautiful bundle of Alison Glass' newest line of fabric 'Seventy Six'.  It's rich in color and design, 

  

Numbered in Grasshopper, Stitched in Violet, Rising in Snow, Sunshine in
Lichen, Numbered in Peacock and Renewal in Opal.  Gorgeous right?!

Wanta Fanta 40" x 40"

I have wanted to make the 'Wanta Fanta' paper pieced block for a long time. (click the link for the free pattern)  This seemed like the perfect opportunity to do just that and showcase this gorgeous bundle.  



The 'Wanta Fanta' block is perfect for a scrappy quilt.  However since I wanted to highlight the prints, I switched it up to do just that. 

I used Kona Celestial for the background and backing on this little quilt.  It is almost a perfect match to the 'Numbered Peacock' blue.



The blue used to 'connect' the blocks and for the binding is Kona Capri.  Not only was it used to connect of the blocks, but it allowed me to pull another color from the prints.   

 

Once it was all pieced together, the real fun began.  With the blocks and the fabric, I knew it was going to be quilted with geometric designs.  It turned out exactly as I had hoped it would with very little frustration!  

 

I agree, it's a bit hard to see even on the back!  If you slightly turn your head to the left, squint with one eye and close the other...you can see it better!



I had to use 'Stitched in Violet' for the center because of its electric neon color.  It's a standout and I don't think it would have fit anywhere else!  



Thank you for indulging me with my pictorial!  Now let's talk about that Giveaway!  Bernie is providing the a fabulous giveaway for one of my lucky readers!

How would you like to win Six (6) Fat Quarters or Three (3) Half Yard cuts of your choosing? I would too!
