It's WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced!!
Before I begin I must bemoan my fate a bit....my computer got a rather nasty virus and is currently being revived by the most awesome of friends. However in the mean time I've been trying to blog on an ipad. It sucks. So I haven't blogged much and there have been some random posts that I *think* I've managed to delete!!! For that I apologize!!!
Now on to the fun stuff!!!
First up....Today I bought a ticket to Sewing Summit!!! It will be my first conference or venture out into the quilty world/blogesphere beyond the Long Beach Quilt Festival. I'm a true newbie!! I wanted to go last year but was still in the middle of chemo. I'm quite excited!!!
Recently I received a pair of charm packs of Bonnie and Camille's Happy-Go-Lucky and Thimble Blossoms Round and Round Pattern #156. To say I'm in love is an understatement!!!
I paired the charms with Robert Kaufman's Spot On in Navy and I sewed....and I cut....and I got this:
And I am in LOVE. I love this pattern and it's not nearly as complicated as it looks :) Just follow the very well written directions....as I did not do!!!
Next up....I have a give away. I was reading CraftyFox amanda on IG and she is doing a giveaway just because. And I thought....it's time for a "just because". And so I have one fun give away for one lucky winner.
I'm giving away one Honey Bun of Aviary by 3 sisters. This line is long since discontinued and it's lived in my stash long enough!!
Just to make it fun, I'll also throw in two paper patterns from my collection of unused patterns! :) (I have tons!)
Just leave me a comment and make sure you aren't a no reply blogger. Winners will be chosen Friday at Noon PST.
This is a fun pattern. I love your block and the background choice.
ReplyDeleteI just had a scrap of the Aviary fabric in a big bag of scraps that I received. It is super pretty. Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI love this fabric range but I love the pattern you made. Although, I have to say that I think it looks complicated and that it would be for me. I struggle to get my HST points right. Generally, they end up with a corner missing!! Love the way this looks though and the colours you have used.
ReplyDeleteLove your stars! Looks complicated, for sure! Good work!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, just visiting from Freshly pieced and I stumbled upon this amazing block (I am so getting this pattern) and a fantastic giveaway! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern and the fabric!!! Great giveaway, Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern, and your polka dot background is perfect for it.
ReplyDeleteGreat stars - I'd love to make this!! I'm off to check out the pattern!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fabulous giveaway!
Just because give aways are so fun!
ReplyDeleteI love honey buns - don't see them around very often. They are great for making log cabins!
Love the block. I have never used a honey bun before. I am always up for trying new stuff. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI am ready for a "just because" fun giveaway!
ReplyDeletealways enjoy reading what you are doing, as well as the pictures.
well done on the quilt!
The Round and Round pattern looks so intricate - love it!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteI just made tons of HST. I am so going to use this block in a quilt. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for the chance to win! The pinwheels are so cute, AND in a circle? Adorable.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job! I am friends with my seam ripper when I don't follow instructions too - not fun! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLove your block - those little friendship stars are a-dorable! Great giveaway, 3 Sisters' collections are so pretty. I need to do a "just because," too.
ReplyDeleteYou made a very nice block. Great giveaway. Thanks
ReplyDeleteLove your block, was looking for the exact background fabric at lunch today! I would love to have that Honey Bun, I never worked with one! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeletehow fun! i just got that pattern too and can't wait to cut into fabric for it.
ReplyDeleteI love your pieced block in this post, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteSo jealous, I love that fabric more than words! Your block looks great. I'm always the same...I start first, read instructions later...I'm learning it's not the best way to go about things!
ReplyDeleteI love your block! I can just see pillow written all over it in my future. Thanks for the chance to win the Honey Bun Patti
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern too and your fabric choices look great!
ReplyDeleteCool stars and great fabric! What more could you ask for?
ReplyDeleteYour quilt block turned out great!
ReplyDeleteLove your dotty background!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Round and Round design too - yours looks so cute with the spotty background!
ReplyDeleteI love the dots! The star pattern is very eyecatching. I have a charm pack of Aviary and nothing to go with it. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteCute pattern! Like a wreath of stars. :) Thanks for the giveaway chance. :)
ReplyDeleteI blog on my iPad, too, and it isn't easy! The laptop always shows things much better. Thanks for the chance at the honeybun!
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest! I love how the bright colors pop against that dark fabric! I am going to try and go to Sewing Summit next time. Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteThanks also for a chance at that fabric. :D
I saw that block the other day and thought it was genius. Love your dark dots.
ReplyDeleteLove that block thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteanything to do with HST are SO fun! love the block and would love some Aviary honey bun!
