I'm Sewing!!!!! ;-)Not just sewing but having a blast! This new project has put a bounce in my needle and thread and this new bounce has been a very long time coming. LOL
Let me tell you about this pattern. When I saw this quilt on Joanna's blog several months ago it spoke very loudly to me. I knew immediately that I would make this quilt as soon as the pattern was available. And, it became available this week. It's called "Prairie Sweets" and it's featured on the cover of Fresh Vintage, Issue #6 by Fig Tree Quilts. When I realized on Monday that it was available I ordered it immediately and it arrived today! WooHoo! I pulled out my Allspice Tapestry fat quarter bundle (also by Fig Tree Quilts/Moda) and got busy. I need to scour the on-line shops to find a few more background prints but in the meantime I can get a few more blocks done. I've decided to hand applique the circles so it could take me awhile to get this project done.
It felt so good it felt to sit at my machine with a joyful heart today.
Thanks for visiting - come back soon!
In Friendship!

I agree with you - that is just the coolest block. I have not seen it before. How are those circles pieced? Or are they appliqued? They look great Darlene. Good to hear you are having fun with it :))

Those Prairie Sweets are looking lovely! I like all the Fig Tree patterns and fabrics. Their colours are so nice. Beautiful work:)
Those are dynamite blocks. I would have appliqued the circles, too! Not one for piecing curves! You go, girl!
Well that's the best news I've heard all week, you have your joy back, yipeeeee... Very cute pattern and gorgeous fabrics.
oh I too have been waiting to get my hands on that! I love it, espcially when I found out that an old friend of mine made it! Good to see your needle bouncing again!
Love those blocks - those wonderfully warm backgrounds in the fig tree quilts make a perfect excuse for adding to your stash. You just gotta have them.
Me too fell in love with this pattern when I saw it. Have not ordered it. Sircles and stars are my favorite shapes to work with.
Oh Wow! I love that quilt too and yours is looking fantastic. What a great project!
That is an awesome block. I haven't seen that before either. I can't figure out...how do those go together? Do the pinwheel parts get paper pieced?
Glad to hear you are back in the saddle in front of your sewing machine! Love the blocks and the use of the fabric group.
Wahoo!!!....I'm so happy for you my friend. You're right I absolutely love the pattern and I love the fabric too. I'm so excited for you...I'm dancing in my jammies....LOL
Yesssss!! You go, Dazee!! They are beautiful!! Can't wait to see more of them! :>
*I will not start something new. I will not start something new. I will not start something new . . . *
Wooo Hooo!!! Let's hear it for the quilting mojo. That pattern is just too yummy! (and I can NOT start anything new, I CAN'T!)
Oh Darlene I just love it...what an awesome pattern. I can just tell you are having a blast! ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
Isn't it a great feeling when a pattern calls to you like that! So glad you are enjoying it so much.
So glad you're having a blast with the needle & thread again. Woohoo! That pattern is awesome!
So happy to hear you are back on the horse, so to speak :)
EnJOY!
WOO HOO!!!! Hooray for you!! I knew it was just a matter of time, and you would find your sewing mojo once again! Those blocks and the fabric are beautiful together - you go girl!!! (I'm doing a quilty happy dance!)
Oh Goody, goody, goody!!! Just what you needed to get the pep back in your step! These projects just get us motivated don't they!
great blocks and great work! Libby turned me on to Quiltshops.com. You can put in the wording or name of the fabric and all the shops pop up for you to look through. I found a red I was looking for and couldn't find anywhere! Good luck!
Oh I love it! keep bouncing!!!!
this is a cute block. It will be a fun quilt when you finish. I can see where you are stoked.
Those a sweet looking blocks! Glad to read that you're back in the groove! Keep well!
