A Free BOM: Maggie’s First Dance and a Give-Away

Hello everyone! I hope you’ve all had (or are still having) an enjoyable long weekend. Canada Day was Friday, so our celebrations happened then. Hope my quilting friends in the United States have a wonderful day today.

I’m excited to share with you Jacquelynne Steves FREE Block of the Month, Maggie’s First Dance. The appliqué layout version is shown below; however, you can choose to do fusible machine appliqué or embroidery for your blocks.

2016BOM-JacquelynneSteves

July is block 2 of this BOM. Here’s my embroidered version:

block-2

I used one less print, in favour of using more of the colourful dots fabric. The fabrics I’ve pulled for this project are shown below. I need a table runner for a gift later this year, so I’m thinking these pretty blocks will be perfect to use for that.

fabrics

I’ve also finished the embroidery for the first block. It was a first time trying hand embroidery, and I really love the process. There’s nothing better than sitting outside on the porch stitching the summer evenings away.

Milo loves our outside office:

Yes, I made my first embroidery Oops when stitching block 2 last week. Oh well, it was quick to unstitch and redo.

    Sewing of course!! Caught up on some of the Splendid Sampler Blocks and started sashing and connecting the blocks in rows. When looking at the BIG picture, it is amazing how wonderful and different each one is and the new things I’ve tried now.

    We went on a picnic with our son and grandson, his Mom got the day off. We have an area close to town in the mountains and it was fun to hang out with our son and 13 month old grandson. I was a little bit of a chore to keep him away from the campfire though. We were going to canoe a local river today but we our expecting a lot of wind so instead we invited some friends over for a BBQ tonight. Thanks for sharing your blocks and the booboo.

I think we should include some grilling in our day today, too – some burgers and potato salad! Happy Birthday, America!

    Hi! I went to Open Sewing at Queen B’s Quilt Shop in Antioch, CA on Saturday – bound a miniature curved log cabin quilt by machine and attached the binding to a round-robin charity quilt in between shopping and helping a friend choose fabrics for an upcoming class that I’m teaching. Yesterday was brunch at a local coffee shop with my husband, followed by packing the car and making a run to the storage unit (we’re getting the house ready for sale and the fabric has to move out for a while). Today is more packing followed by an indoor picnic of hotdogs and potato salad. Whew!

However my hubby and I did celebrate the day with friends we had not seen for a long time, as the 4th of July was the date my hubby retired from Defence in 2008 – very appropriate being Independence Day!! Am loving the 2016 BOM from Jacquelynne and have chosen the embroidery option as that is my passion. Smiled when I saw your photo as I have made that boo-boo occasionally!!!

    We had a wonderful weekend. It seemed so long this year. Our daughters had friends over on Friday. We joined neighbors for a pool party on Saturday, on Sunday we traveled to drop off our girls at Horse Camp/Bible camp and Sunday we visited our favorite winery with my husband’s parents. It was a long and relaxing weekend. Now a child free week to sew.

    I had a busy weekend.

    Saturday went to a free motion quilt class and then ate crabs.

    Sunday went to a play at the Kennedy Center ‘Kinky Boots. my sister and I loved the movie so I treated. Then we went to my cousins for a cookout and more crabs. Then I went home to my grandson’s birthday cookout.

    Monday I slept all day and then visted Black Hog’s Barbecue and then came home and watch Zootopia and ate popcorn.

    A Great Weekend!

    I had to work over the 4th of July weekend, so I didn’t get a chance to do much at all. I start at 4am and work until 1:30pm on the weekends, but am so tired from getting up at 3am, that I usually take a nap after work or I just can’t function. I did make it to a friend’s wedding reception on the 3rd, as I had asked my boss if I could Monday the 4th off so I could go out of town for the reception. He let me have off, and my best friend and I went to the wedding reception, then to fireworks later that night. Monday the 4th was spent sewing and relaxing at home. My boyfriend and I grilled out and sat around a fire and just enjoyed the peaceful and gorgeous day.

The son served 3 sessions and was wounded 2 times. We are giving 2 pillows to a husband and wife pair who met in their service in the Navy and married.

    Granddaughters had more enjoyment making the pillows for the honor of others than if they would have had they made them for themselves. A new family project is born!

He made it easier for us, as he asked to go look at homes, chose the one he wanted to make his new home and decided he wanted to move on Monday, despite the loss he feels he is very happy with his new home and the new friends he is making. Today would have been their 61rst anniversary. God has been awesome getting us through this time.
