Ewe Are A Grand Old Flag! BOM Posted

Happy 236th Birthday, USA!!  Our family celebrated our freedom with a barbeque, swimming and fireworks!  The day was very hot--so much so that this little guy would have been too hot to look at! 

Cousins enjoying fun in the sun!

You can find the pattern at Ewes Quilting.  Don't forget to send me a picture of your finished block to Carole@ewesquilting.com!

Let freedom ring!!

City Girls Pulling Strings

Here's the virtual quilt

If you thought I used too many exclamation marks in my posts before, you haven't seen anything yet!!  This quilt is made from Monica Lee's newest fabric line, "City Girls" and I was asked to design and make the quilt!!  To be the first person to make a quilt from a fabric line was amazing and I'm so thankful for the experience!!

Here's a photo of Monica's line.....

The polka dots and stripes really set off the graphics nicely!

And a couple of close-ups of the selvages--those little high heeled shoes are just too cute!! 

"Boudoir" filled with all things girly!

I never wear high heels, but wish I could.  I get nose-bleeds at that altitude!

 Voila!!  The finished quilt!  (Sorry it's not a better picture--had to send it off right away!)

 And a close-up of some of the quilting--I love those funky feathers!!

Am passionate about quilt labels--every quilt should have one!!  Every artist should sign their work and leave a record for future generations!

Here is the quilt at the Timeless Treasure's booth atnSpring Market in Kansas City....

Pretty and versatile fabric--can be made into quite a few charming items!!

If you'd like the free pattern, it can be found on Timeless Treasure's website under "Free Projects" or click here .  Thanks so much for sharing in my excitement!!

 

Wooly Wishes June Block Posted!!

This month's block shows dad in his favorite tie, probably a gift for Father's Day!  You can find the directions here.  Use your imagination to create a wild and crazy tie so your ram is the best dressed sheep on the block!

Send your pictures to me at Carole@ewesquilting.com so I can admire your handiwork!

Creative Expression Contest at Quilting Gallery!

 

Quilting Gallery is having another contest, this time celebrating creativity in quilts!  The timing couldn't be better on the heels of my last blog post!  So, go to Quilting Gallery, get a nice cup of coffee, relax and enjoy a virtual quilt show.  Don't forget to vote for your favorites!!

My entry was also my entry in the Love Apples Challenge 2011, called, "A Tisket, A Tasket, Oops!  I Spilled My Basket!"  Am happy to say, it came away with a ribbon!

If you look closely, you can see there's a basket in the background.  The orphan blocks are spilling across the quilt, ready to find a permanent home in a comfy quilt for a special person.
