Announcing the Quilty Fun Sew Along and Blog Tour !!! …and a Giveaway...YaY!!!...

Good morning cute people!!

I'm so excited to announce a new sew along...

YaY!

I hope we will be sewing together again!

I designed this

 Quilty Fun Sampler

 using all of the blocks

 in my new book Quilty Fun:)

The Sew Along will be a part of the 

Quilty Fun Blog Tour 

celebrating the release of the book.

It will start this Monday (Nov.4th)

 on Kerry's blog…

She will be doing the 

apple blocks for the sampler quilt.

Every Monday you will

follow along with each blogger

as they show off their blocks

and put their quilts together! 

Every week there will be

 contests…

prizes…

 and giveaways…

YaY again! 

You will need your copy of

 the book

 because it will be 

your instruction manual…

so be sure to keep it handy:)

Next…

you will need to get 

up close and personal 

with your scrappy stash...

and get it organized in 

preparation to make the blocks.

Click here and here 

if you'd like to see how I organize my scraps.

You will use all different sizes of 

scrappy fabrics from

 strips and squares to make the blocks…

such as 1 1/2"...2 1/2"...3 1/2"...

*FYI - You will need 3 yards of

 background fabric for the quilt.

(I used "snow white" from the Riley Blake Blenders collection)

and 1/2 yard for Red inner border…

as well as 1 1/4 yard

 for the outside border.

So besides the background ...

you will only need to purchase

 1 3/4 yards of fabric 

if you are making the blocks

 from your stash.

YaY!!!

If you made some of 

these blocks before when

 you did the row along...

 you can play with them again:)

And if you didn't join then...

now is your chance!

There are however…

a few new blocks in the book.

And I included them in the

 Quilty Fun Sampler:)

Sew…

are you ready for some more

happy scrappy patchwork?

In the Sampler Quilt

 I made the red pieced inner border...

To echo my green outside border

 on the row along quilt...

It's just shorter and not as wide:)

There is a fun mix of a little bit of everything from the book…

which is why it's called the 

Quilty Fun Sampler!

This is the back of the quilt.

Do you like it?

I love pieced backs too:)

I used 24 fat quarters...

and of course I designed a new block for the label…

a cute little

"Bee in my Bonnet" block:)

I'll be showing you how to make it when 

it comes my turn for the blog tour

 at the very end of the Sew Along.

(as well as the borders and pieced back)

Sew…

what do you think?

Are you in?

Do you want to have some more 

 Quilty Fun with me?

I sure hope so!
