Please join me in welcoming today’s guest Jennifer Rodriguez from All Things Belle. She’s sharing a really cute and easy idea for including crochet and fabric with adorable results.

Today is my special day for Jennifer’s Garden Party Blog Hop. I’ve created a paper pieced Patio Umbrella block for the party … it’s a free download.

Our third guest this week is upstatelisa sharing some of the gorgeous ATCs that she’s created.

To help us get inspired for the upcoming ATC swap, Kim of Kim’s Crafty Apple is showing us how she transforms orphan blocks into beautiful ATCs.

Our next swap will be ATCs – Artist Trading Cards. Follow along with Jill, as she creates her first Artist Trading Cards and shares ideas on how you might wish to make some of your own. Two more inspirational guests will be featured tomorrow.

It’s a party … a Paper-Pieced Garden Blog Hop Party … hosted by Jennifer at Sewhooked. The party starts today!

Pokey Bolton sent us a bonus tutorial for making Fabric Collaged Artist Trading Cards. Get started and let your creativity soar!

Today is my day to share a block with you for Kim’s Home Sweet Home Quilt-Along. My block is called A Home for the Birds and finishes at 12″ square. It is created with fusible web and a machine blanket stitch.

Happy Valentine’s Day. I’ve made a Love-ly Garden wall hanging (or table runner) free tutorial just for you! It finishes at 22″ x 38″.

Here is my star block that I made for the Fat Quarter Stars Quilt-Along. My block is called Milo’s Star. Download the free tutorial and make one yourself. I added a couple of borders and turned my block into a mini quilt.

Here it is .. the massive list of FUN quilting projects found in the quilting blogosphere. Have fun trying something new and making new friends.

Last year, oh that sounds so LONG ago, I finally got something finished in my sewing room. I made two Smitten with Mittens Table Runners. See them here…
