Perfect 10 Sampler quilt along, week 4

Welcome to our Perfect 10 Sampler Quilt Along!
 I will be quilting along to make the Perfect 10 Sampler Quilt! This sampler quilt really is a taste of all the quilts, as blocks from all 16 quilts are included, so you’ll get to try them all.  



This is what the Perfect 10 quilt book looks like.
It's awesome, with layouts for 16 quilts!
Week 4 brings you the "Cookies 'n Cream" block.
Yummy!!!



Next, we have the "cotton candy" block.
I didn't have any cotton candy for my photo shoot, so I used some of my favorite pink dishes :)



Here are the full fabric requirements to make 
the Perfect 10 Sampler quilt.
You will need both the Perfect 10 Book and Ruler to make this sampler so grab yours at the Fat Quarter Shop!

Every week of our Perfect 10 Sampler quilt along 
on the Jolly Jabber
there is a link to the "guide" that tells you how many blocks you need of each ice cream flavor, and how many pieces to cut.
You also need the Perfect 10 book, along with the Perfect 10 ruler.
Please check out everyone else's blocks :)

Perfect 10 Sampler quilt along, week 3

Welcome back to the Perfect 10 quilt along with 
the Fat Quarter Shop.
These blocks are made with 10" layer cakes, from the book Perfect 10 and the Creative Grids Perfect 10 ruler.
They are quick and fun to make!

Week number 3 is brought to you by the "coffee" block.


The block takes two 10" squares and makes 
two mirror image blocks.


I'm using Lori Holt's Autumn Love fabric line for my blocks.


Next, we have the "cookie dough" block.
Cookie dough ice cream is one of my favorites,
 especially if it's Blue Bell ice cream!


Are you quilting along?
I hope so, these weekly blocks are very doable :)
All the information you need is on Fat Quarter Shop's blog,


Follow these quilters and see what their cute blocks look like :)

Perfect 10 Sampler quilt along, Week 2

Welcome to Week 2 of the Perfect 10 Sampler QAL!
This week, I made two Buttered Pecan blocks, 
doesn't that sound scrumptious?
This brown print from Autumn Love is one of my favorite prints from the fabric line.
The directions are great in the Perfect 10 quilt book.
I made two of these blocks, they're exactly the same!



I was a little more creative in taking this photo, 
it's the Coconut block.
My favorite color is red!


These blocks can be found in the Perfect 10 Quilts book at the Fat Quarter shop.
Their Perfect 10 Creative Grids ruler is "perfect" for cutting the layer cakes too!



Please take a look at these bloggers and see what their 
Buttered Pecan and Coconut blocks look like :)

Perfect 10 Sampler quilt along, week 1

I'm sewing this Perfect 10 quilt for the 
Perfect 10 Fat Quarter Shop quilt along.
This is the first block, it's called "banana" block.
I thought it would be appropriate to use yellow fabric :)


I'm using Lori Holt's Autumn Love by Riley Blake.
The quilt is made using a layer cake.
I'll be using Cream Gunny Sack for the background 
and the red fabric from the same line, for the binding.
Of course, I'll be sewing with white Aurifil thread, my favorite.


This is the Birthday Cake block.
I decided to use pink, which is what I like my birthday cakes to be.
These are really easy blocks to sew.


This is the Perfect 10 quilt, pretty cute!
The blocks all have dessert names, which makes them very yummy.




You can follow my awesome fellow bloggers as they participate 
in the Perfect 10 quilt along :)

Ayumi's lunch bag tutorial

My grand daughter Maisie, asked me if I would make her a "scripture bag".
I think she saw that some of her cousins had them 
and really wanted one :)


Maisie loves animals, so I made a bag 
with this very cute turtle fabric.


I didn't mean to make it as pink as it turned out, but out of all the fabrics in my stash, these ones looked the best together!


 I really love the text on the handles :)


Luckily I was able to give the bag to Maisie in person, I think she liked it!
Doesn't she have the cutest face and the best laugh?


Ayumi from Pink Penguin, has an easy tutorial for making these bags. 
You can see it here.
I have made so many of these bags, they're great!!!
