FRESH SQUEEZED FABRIC GIVEAWAY and TUTORIAL
and
I am finished! I did free motion stippling all around, and I LOVE it a lot! I did super tiny stitches, and it took me 4-5 hours. (is that embarrassing? do you all do it in like 45 minutes) It is the biggest quilt I have done. I am loving playing with my machines free motion quilting, plus, if I add my girl math, that is another $50 less the cost of my machine. (remember every time I machine quilt a quilt myself, I get to deduct $50 off what I paid for my machine) My husband said "soon I am going to be owing you money"...thats the spirit!
Don't you just love the just out of the dryer crinkliness? (is that a word, I was sure it was, but spell check sure thinks it isn't)
1. Create six dutch pinwheels here
2. Assemble the 6 pinwheels according to quilt photo.
3. Add 2" brown stop borders
5. Add 6" outside borders
Finished quilt size 50 x 68

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 394 of 394I didn't think I liked Dream On much when I saw it in the precuts, but Randi has some gorgeous bundles over there!
I'm a follower already. :)
Adam Baldwin (from Firefly), chocolate chip cookies, and lots of embroidery. :)
Your quilt looks great!
LIke many, I'm loving Sherbet Pips right now. So fun!
I don't know enough about celebrities to know which one. I'd want my hubby - we make great babies :-) I'd want to take some hand work along because I'm assuming their won't be electricity. And dessert - definately cheesecake.
I'm a follower!
I like some of the kitchen fabrics she has. Metro Cafe and Metro Market and others. They would be fun to spruce up my kitchen with.
1. Hmmm... I'm thinking Toby Keith... he could sing to me.. ;-)
2. Fudge Brownies
3. Of course, quilting!!
Yep, I'm a follower!
I like the Sherbert Pips line.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I'd choose John Mayer, but he'd have to bring his guitar so he could sing to me. I'd want lots of lemon cupcakes and I'd take a quilt to bind.
Hmmmm.. you've got me thinking! I say
1)Daniel Craig :)
2) Cinnamon toast with mixed berry compote and vanilla ice-cream
3) lots of quilt binding!
Ooo and I'm a follower :) Thanks!
Follower!
I love the beach mod series. Perfect for projects for my boys!
Thanks for the giveaway. Oh, and I love your quilt! I'm about to undertake a little free stitch quilting of my own!
blakeandcandice (at) gmail (d0t) com
Hm. Desert island: Probably Matt Damon or Adam Sandler (someone who seems legitimately nice), Culver's frozen custard w/ hot fudge and andes mints and some sort of baby project. For all those kids I'd be having, of course. :-)

Great job on your stippling!! I just started doing that myself, though not on a large project yet!
Keith Urban and I would be enjoying homemade coconut cake on our island...and as for projects, while he is serenading me, I guess I'd be hand appliqueing a quilt from 1942 that my grandmother did not get finished.
I AM a follower of your blog and LOVE it!
And for Randi's shop ~ my favorite is Free Spirit. I mean, Michael Miller. Whoops ~ I mean Anthopology...oh well. You know how it is ;0!
I'd choose Sting, a rich, creamy Tiramisu, and a hexagon quilt top I've been working on!
Matthew Mcconaughey - mmmmm!! Lots of chocolate, maybe chocolate sauce, some whipped cream... oops, better not go there! And some handquilting, of course!!
Of course I'm a follower!
Either Sherbet Pips or Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms!
And I can't choose just one! Sunkissed, Sherbet Pips, Fandango, Central Park, the list goes on and on....
FUN question!
Celebrity? Currently... Joseph Gordon Levitt. He'd be fun to be around, and doesn't seem too stuck up :)
Dessert... Key lime pie. WITH whipped cream! You know, for more fun with the celebrity in question!
Craft... something to embroider, as I have been wanting to try and that's something that might take up time.
I am a loyal follower
Loving the Through the Looking Glass by Kokka, in Multi
Bradley Cooper.
or Ryan Reynolds.
dunford donuts - the chocolate ones.
and my hexies!! :)
look at all your comments!!!! wow awesome.
i'm a follower and love being so
What isn't wonderful in Randi's shop. . I've had my eye on so much. I think a bundle of aqua would be grand.
If I were stranded on a island, I would want to repopulate the earth with David Tennant. The dessert I would have there is white cake. The craft project I would bring is a knitted quilt. . I think.
I'm a follower. Love you finished quilt.
I'm loving this fabric bundle--5 one-half yard pieces (2 1/2 yards total) from the Tailor Made Collection, Cosmo Cricket for Andover Fabrics
I'm one of your older readers and too old to re-populate, so I'd take me favorite guy, for the last 47 years, Bob. Dessert = Apple Pie, and a quilt.
Oh gosh, if I were stuck on an island....
-It's a tie between Matt Damon and Ryan Renolds (I CAN'T CHOOSE! LOL!)
-Chocolate, always chocolate!
-Fabric for quilts! Quilting takes lots of time so I'd be busy most of the time haha.
Haha, that was fun!
Been a follower for a while. I just LOVE seeing the projects you do! Thank you for sharing them all with us!
I'm really loving the "Soul Blossoms" Collection by Amy Butler.
I really need to take care of my fabric fix! haha
I am a follower.
Here is the deal -- there is not a man alive, other than my dear sweet husband that I'd want to repopulate the earth with. It about so much more than looks (though I love looking at my guy.) It's about character.
I'd bring chocolate. No nuts, just good quality chocolate.
And, of course, I'd bring quilting.
I love that quilt pattern. If I had to pick one person first it would be my husband. If he was too busy with his "fame" then I would want Val Kilmer. LOL!! M&M's and then all of my sewing stuff!
I am a follower! I love your blog!
I love all of the fat quarter bundles but I would love to have the fat quarter bundle of the Breakfast at Tiffany's fabric. LOVE IT!!
Love, love, love your quilt and the machine quilting is fab - I am just starting to get the hang of it too. Latest celebrity crush is Owain Yeoman from the Mentalist - yummy! Who needs dessert with Owain around :o) And craft project - the quilt I'd be making with this gorgeous bundle of fabric of course!!!
Been stalking - I mean lurking - I mean reading your blog for a while but now officialy 'following' :o)
Randi's shop been on my radar for a while now - can I just order everything please ???
I would bring:
Andrew Knott (I have been in love with him since 1993 -- thanks to the Secret Garden film)
Tarta de Galletas -- a Galician dessert made from butter cookies, butter, and chocolate
And a quilt.
If you were stranded on a island, which celebrity do you want with you to repopulate the earth, what dessert would you bring, and what craft project...?
On that Island I'd take any of my favorite singers, let's repopulate the earth with songbirds! So that could be: Sting, Jason Mraz, India Arie, Trace Adkins, James Taylor, pick one...the dessert would be Death by Chocolate Cake, a mile high, thick and deep and rich as a volcano, with a massive dollop of whipped cream beside it...the craft project, a stack of applique blocks 15 stories high. ~anna

Sherbert Pips. Yep. I like that.

From the Fresh Squeezed site I would love this: fat quarter set--4 pieces (1 yards total) from the Dream On Collection, Urban Chiks for Moda Fabrics
Oh, as for the questions...
George Clooney may be cute, Mark Harmon Mr. Tough Guy, but my DH knows how to build a fire! I'll take him.
And ice cream.
And one big quilt project.
I would choose Pierce Brosnan. I know that he is old enough to be my father, but in James Bond oh my. I would also have to bring peanut butter cookies. And definitely a quilt to make to lay in the sand.
I like anything from the Origins Collection
Think that I will let the Lord decide who to put on the island with me. I would be happy with a little embroidery and hexies and hand quilting, and not so much heat that my chocolate will melt or the water turn warm.
I follow quiltstory
I would like to have a Parisville bundle of half yds. I do like the FS fabrics in etsy.
I would want to be with Allan Hawko, anything chocolate, and quilting projects. Thanks for this fun giveaway!!

He's only a celebrity to me but I would take my husband, for dessert it would be Longhorn Steakhouse Chocolate Stampede and I would take a quilt.
I am a follower of your blog.
I like the Just Wing It jellyroll.
hmmm...Scott Bakula has always been a delicious dish to me ever since his Quantum Leap days. Dessert...any dessert will do as long as it's made with real ingredients and not with a bunch of fake crap. project...whatever I'm working on at the time and all the stuff to go with it.
What a wonderful shop! I couldn't pick just one! Love the tone on tones and vintage fabrics. Just makes me want to have them all!
Wow - Robert Downey Jr., sitching supplies and blackberry cobbler!
I am in love with the Nature Walk fabric! Thanks!

On my island: Rob Thomas (Matchbox 2)or Michael Weatherly (NCIS), Lemon cake, and as many craft projects as I could grab, but most likely a whimsical or peaceful applique project!
I'm a follower!
Choosing just one thing from the shop? Really? That's crazy talk! I love the fat quarter bundles, and love the selection of fabrics - just about anything would be welcomed in my stash!
I don't really follow celebrities but if I had to choose, Hugh Jackman - before he was married of course.
Dessert - fruit
Craft Project - HEXAGONS!!!
I have been to Randi's shop and it is so hard to choose just one thing. But since I have to. . ..
one-half yard pieces, a total of 2 yards from the Parisville Collection by Tulla Pink for Free Spirit Fabrics.
Unbelievable!!! No one's said Russell Crowe!!! He's my pick hand's down. Love the accent, love his deep voice, love his....well, never mind. :-D Dessert? Turtle Brownies -- what's not to love!? and Project -- lots and lots of applique; I'm way behind in several projects! Or my English Paper Pieced tumbling blocks. Lots of hand work to do while Russell rests!

Stranded with Nicholas Cage, quilting supplies, and ice cream!
Love the Topiary in Sky Tula Pink!
Thanks for making me laugh this morning - I'd choose Robert Redford, caramel cheesecake and since I wouldn't have a sewing machine I'd take a big bag of yarn to crochet warm afgans!
Love the freshsqueezed colors in Meadowsweet - a bundle of that would be perfect.
I think I'd rather be alone than with any celebrity ;D
Chocolate Cake & Quilt or Crochet!
Thanks for the chance :)
I love the Hullabaloo & Sherbet pips Jelly Rolls - YUMMY!
Hugh Jackman! That man is so talented (and very good looking!)
Any and all kinds of milk chocolate candy!
A king size hand applique project that I would hand quilt. Quilt comes in handy and one that size would give me LOTS of practice on my hand work!

If I couldn't take my husband, it would have to be Jake Gyllenhal. I would bring my Bailey's White Chocolate Cheesecake and I wouldn't forget my quilting as we'd need something to snuggle under! haha

Clark Gable, York Mints and quilting or maybe watercolor.
I'm a new follower.
#1: I'm sticking with my hubby! (he's a celeb to me.)
#2 Definitely bringing anything with peanut butter cups in it!
#3 binding quilts sounds like a relaxing project to do while laying in the sun on my island!
There is no one that can match up to my Husband, so I'd have to do without. I would want a bowl of fresh fruit and whipped cream. Must have fabric and hexy papers.
I am a follower!
I love the kitchen fabrics the most right now.
I'm a new follower! Thanks for a great give-away!

Congrats - the quilt looks awesome in its crinkliness!!
Now for my answers to your questions....
1. Hugh Laurie - he's funny, good lookin', musical & I could listen to him talk all day long!
2. dessert? Moose Tracks ice cream please!
3. Well, if I was shipwrecked on an exotic island, I'm thinking I must have been moving somewhere, so the contents of my "fabric shoppe" room should have washed up on shore with us....
I'm a follower....
My pick from Fresh Squeezed....mmmmm, so much deliciousness....
Beach Mod Circa 60 FQ bundle!
I am now a humble follower. Alex O'Laughlin (Hawaii 5 O), Pavlova and hexagons.
Well, I can't think of a celebrity who fits my criteria, but it would be a brilliant genius. And for dessert, rich chocolate mousse. And for a craft project, an applique quilt with lots of applique to keep me busy until I am rescued.
And yes, I am a follower :)
I like the fat quarter bundles that Randi puts together. She has a great eye combining fabrics.
Maybe Simon Baker, lots and lots of ice cream, and quilts that need the bindings sewn on.
I'm a follower.
Tammis Cats in Grey - too cute.
What great questions! Definitely chocolate; a hand applique quilt; and ??? I'm too old for that! :) But Colin Firth looks interesting (VBG).
Thanks very much. I love the colors of these fabrics-and so does my daughter.
I love the shades of the reds in the fat quarter bundle of Breakfast at Tiffany's. Thanks!
It's hard to pick a favorite but I love the Japanse fabrics.
I know, I know you will think I am crazy but Chow yun fat. (Is that spelled right?) My husband is Asian and I am attracted to him. Haha besides those kids are a beautiful combination with my white skin brown hair and eyes. lol
Chocolate. Yum but especially Whoopie Pies. Ever have one? They are the best of the best.
Lastly, surprise, I would quilt. The exact project doesn't matter. I am addicted to it all!
I am a follower in a big way. I search them all everyday!
Cindy
Richard Gere, Rice Krispie Treats and quilting....... Hey I think I just described HEAVEN!

Ooooh!!! I would LOVE to win, so here is my answer to questiong # 1:
If you were stranded on a island, which celebrity do you want with you to repopulate the earth, what dessert would you bring, and what craft project...?
I would choose to be stranded with Jeff Probst (he ought to be pretty good at Surviving! ;-), we would have lots of chocolate covered strawberries to snack on, and I'd want some paints and brushes to create with. We could really decorate our hut nicely! ;-)
1. Sorry, wouldn't even think of a celebrity, just my husband.
2. Blue Bunny sugar free Bunny Tracks ice cream...lotsa cartons! :)
3. my x-stitch project with plenty of thread
I follow you on my google reader.

Sam Worthington (for obvious reasons) and we would be sharing some white chocolate amaretto cheesecake! I am not sure there would be enough time for a craft project if Mr. Worthington was around ;) but I would probably bring my Jan Patek "Bicycles" project anyway.
I am currently a follower...
I really like the "Parisville Collection" by Tulla Pink for Free Spirit.
Easy!! Hugh Jackman, chocky mousse, and a quilt to sew to cuddle under:)
It's not the celebrity I want, it's one of his characters - Hawkeye, played by Daniel Day-Lewis in "Last of the Mohicans". Actually, I'd be satisfied with his character, or his brother and father too. They were all so hot! LOL!
I'd bring anything with chocolate - Mississippi Mud Pie, chocolate cheesecake, anything! and a new quilt kit.
I'm already a follower
I like the Japanese "sewing notions" line
I'm a follower!
annie@thepurcell.com
Do I have to pick a celebrity? Because I would really just want my husband and my little girl with me. I would need some cheesecake. aaaaand, I would take the string quilt I am working on.
annie@thepurcell.com
I love the Ta Dot fabrics. I also love the vintage kitchen fabrics. I am not sure what I would do with those, but they are super cute!
annie@thepurcell.com
* If you were stranded on a island, which celebrity do you want with you to repopulate the earth, what dessert would you bring, and what craft project...?
Ohhh... Hard one...
Celebrity would either be Matt Damon or Mark Salling or maybe trent Reznor...or Anthony Stuart Head ...or - (OK, lets just say I have a loooong list)
I assume that fruit is available on the Island, so I'll bring chocolate
My Dolls! And once I run out of Material, I'll start making dolls from wood and palm leaves and stuff :-)
Thank you for the cool give away!
Hmmm.
1) Trent Reznor
2) Ina Garten's espresso brownies
3) Enough hexagons for a quilt to cover the new population!
I am a follower!
From Randi's shop, I'm loving the vintage feel of the Dream On prints!
Brenden Frazier, he's just so cute. I would bring sponge cake with fresh fruit on top, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries. And since good looks doesn't make mean good conversation I would bring the makings for a hexie quilt.
I have you saved to my favorites, but I'll go click on be a follower right now.
Favorite fabric in the esty store is Free Spirit. Yummy.
I don't think my little island can handle celebrity style ego! I would probably bring a backpack full of survival gear.

I am not a follower of your blog - love this quilt! I want a machine that done free motion - I inherited my mom's machine that she bought for mending ... it hasn't broken down on me and so it's super reliable - but man, to be able to try free motion quilting, a digital machine - the possibilities are endless.
I love Fresh Squeezed Fabrics - I have just been introduced to them recently! I love the hullabaloo charm pack she has!
I would bring
1. Brad Pitt ??? (is that too cheesy and predictable?)
2. whoopie pies
3. craft - probably scrapbooking so I could look @ pictures of family and friends
