The Quilted Scrapper

My son has been bugging me to make a quilt for his bed. He has a mountain mural on one wall so I wanted something to match that. The Rocky Coast Quilt from Toad & Sew   was the perfect quilt for his room. I used fabric from the Moda Grunge line and the Wilmington Essentials Dry Brush line. They were the perfect combination of lines to create this fabulous quilt.   

The June Stamp of the Month, Garden Tags , is one of my favorite stamp sets. Using some older Mix and Match paper and a variety of alcohol markers, I created these two sympathy cards. The sunflower stamp was my favorite and I cannot wait to make some other cards using these stamps this week once school is out for the year!

I recently finished quilt #5 for the year for a dear friend's birthday. It took me over a year to find the perfect fabric for her. She loves pinks and greens so this fabric from Wilmington prints was perfect for the Desert Star quilt pattern. As soon as school ends this week, I will begin quilt #6! 

Unfortunately I had to make 2 Sympathy cards this weekend. The Garden Tag Stamp of the Month stamps were perfect for these cards. I used the Blue Skies  paper pack and my alcohol markers to create the Thinking of You card. The other card is made using retired Seasonal Mix-In paper.  The Garden Tag stamp set is only $5 the month of June with any $50 purchase.   https://stephaniefeist.closetomyheart.com/

Donna Robertson's 3-yard quilts are one of my new favorite series of quilt patterns. So many patterns to make with only 3 yards of fabric. They come together quickly and the variety makes the book well worth the money. The book I used is the Easy Peasy 3-Yard Quilts  that I picked up at my local quilt shop. I have made 2  so far. One for my husband for Father's Day and one for my niece for her upcoming birthday. They take less than half a day to put together once everything is cut. This is the quilt I made for my husband using the Dear Stella fabric line by Timeless Treasures. My quilter, Debbie did an amazing job quilting it that it brought the whole quilt together. I just picked up this quilt from my quilter and it was suppose to be gift, but it now resides at my house! Same 3-yard concept, different design. I used the Grunge and Urban Grunge line from Northcott Fabrics. 

I love this quilt and how it turned out. I am not a super pink person and I wanted something I could leave up longer than just February. I chose these beautiful fabrics from the Sugarcreek Prints and Wovens by Corey Yoder. The pattern is from Maker Valley . I was a little imitated at first glance, but it came together easier than I expected! I enjoyed it so much that I think I am going to use my extra fabric to make a pillow or two for gifts. Yes I know I made a mistake in one of the blocks but didn't notice until it was quilted and hung on the wall! We are calling it my Amish mistake.
