Red Work and Blue Work Snowman Posted

Hey everybody, it is the eve before Thanksgiving, and I am just reflecting about Thanksgiving. We will not be celebrating until this Sunday so I have a few days to get ready for it yet, which is good because I always seem to be running behind!
I have so many things to be thankful for, family friends, health, my home, and soooo much more. I do want to mention though that I am also very thankful for all of you, my readers and my customers. It has been such a pleasure to meet all of you either in person, on FB or on the phone. You have made my life for the past 14 years so enjoyable, I can't thank you enough. Next year we will be celebrating 15 years of Chickadee Hollow Designs and what a run it has been. Thank you! Thank You!
Today I wanted to share with you my Wall Hangings. I have both a red and a blue one. I am really pleased with how they turned out.

Spool Souffle Quilt Along Fat Quarter Shop

We are so excited to be quilting along with the gals at the Fat Quarter Shop way down there in Texas!
 Where everything is bigger you know, and these spools are , but they sure are easy and fun! Here is a picture of my chosen fabrics when I first laid them all out before I first started sewing. One of the things that I do when I choose fabrics for a quilt like this is count the number of blocks and the number of rows, in this case it is 36 blocks so it 6 blocks by 6 blocks.I chose about 40 fabrics so I can eliminate one  or two when I start putting them together if I don't feel they work with the rest of them.
So I picked 6 color ranges that I wanted to work with, 6 reds, 6 golds, 6 blacks, 6 browns, 6 blues, and 6 greens. I also threw a few surprises in, a couple of pinks, a couple of purples. My fabrics are all reproduction fabrics as those are my favorites from some of my favorite designers, such as Judy Rothermel, Primitive Gatherings, Jo Morton, and Kim Diehl. So here they are, stayed tuned, i will keep you posted as I progress. I also chose a cream and tan small floral for my background fabric.

                                           The video gives you a closer look at the fabrics.
                                             Stay tuned as I will be posting as I progress!

Unique Quilt Block Challenge

Thought i would share some pictures of some of the unique blocks we are working on in our Quilt Block Challenge. This is a free club, you can join us at any time. Basically, we are making blocks from 1 1/2" strips and 1 1/2" squares. So far we have 20 new blocks, what's unique about these blocks is they have all been changed mathematically to make them come out to 5.5 x 7.5. As you know, most traditional quilt blocks are built on a square. These are elongated, and offer some new options in designing quilts, which is always fun. If you are interested, you can still sign up, it is a Facebook Group and it is called Unique Quilt Block Challenge. Go there and indicate you would like to join and I will approve you and check out what we have been doing. Here are some pictures of some of the blocks we have done.

Check out the FB page to see others.Happy Stitching!

Scrappy

 

  I have to introduce you to my new puppy. He is named "Scrappy" for obvious reasons! He is 10 months old. We have bonded already, and he has shown us his tenacity, and it is a lot more than this grandma has! He will have to learn my ways as he gets older.

Also sharing a completed pillow that I made from the Pre-printed name that was embroidered in the center. This is not the best picture, but I think you get the idea.

If you are interested you can go to FB and search Unique Quilt Block Challenge and sign up if you want to join, like I said it is free and you can download the PDF's after you join for each block. The PDF's are not to be shared with others as I plan to make a book of all of them when we are finished.

So what are you all working on, would love to see and hear.
