Hello there!
Welcome to Week Three of the
For this sew along we are
sewing patriotic things from the
or of course you can use
fabric from your stash:)
Grab your book
and let's do
three more blocks this week.
This sew along will be
easy to follow...
simply sew directly from the book!
You can make your blocks in the
exact same prints that I did
by of course looking at each
block photo for placement
or you can
"bee the boss of your own quilt"
and switch it up!
to download the schedule of what
blocks that we are sewing
each week...
as well as the
cutting guide for the
smaller quilt
setting if you are making the 6" Blocks.
(12" Block setting is already in the book)
Okay ...let's do this!!
Our first block is
REINDEER HOOVES BLOCK
on page 80
This is an easy peasy block
and uses all four colors...
it's one of my favorites because it
always looks good with any color combinations:)
Next up is the
SHINE BLOCK
on page 81 of the book.
This is another classic that
looks great in any colors.
I love the fact that if you made an
entire quilt with these that there
would be a secondary block formed
within the design because of the
easy corner triangles on the outside.
Our last block is
SNOWFLAKE BLOCK
on page 83 of the
Vintage Christmas Book.
This is supposed to be a snowflake
of course but just like the other
star blocks it turns into
fireworks for summer!
I just love each and every block
in this quilt and I hope that you are
having a fun time putting yours together:)
I have told you about a few more
projects that I made previously
in preparation for this sew along....
and now it's time to begin sharing
them with you.
I'm super excited to first share with you
a tutorial that I did for this sew along
and I thought that I would do it
as a video and put it on my new
It's a tutorial for my super cute
and super easy Scalloped Bunting:)
I made one first and hung it
over the design wall in my studio.
I had to keep taking it down for
certain pictures and also some filming
so that it wouldn't be revealed too soon!
I made another one during the
video tutorial because I want to use
it outside on my patio for the
4th of July and other summertime get togethers....
and you can never have too much bunting!
I like to use it for every holiday
and it's fun to make them
in each holiday colors.
to watch the tutorial....
I hope you enjoy it as well as my channel.
I'll be doing a lot more tutorials
on there besides the few that I have
started out with ...
so give me a follow there
by subscribing if you would
like to know when I have filmed more:)
And of course I used the
Bee Patriotic Bundle
to make my buntings...
I used 6 different prints
from all four color ways.
I really love how all
of the prints and colors go together:)
Here is a full shot reveal of what
it looks like hanging from my curtain rod.
Buntings also look adorable
hanging above a quilt!
I'm also giving you another
sneak peek in this photo...
next week during week four
of our sew along
I will have a step by step tutorial
for my Bee Patriotic Table Runner...YaY!!
Thanks sew much for joining me this week
and I'll be right back here
next Monday with the last three blocks...
the table runner tutorial...
plus one more!

Lori, this is the third quilt I've made using your Vintage Christmas book. Love the extra projects and recipes that you include. Just finished the Bee Happy quilt. I've also made Cozy Christmas and the Vintage Block Along. Thank you for all you share!
I am working on blocks from your Vintage Christmas book now too, and I'll be finishing them as placemats. Thanks for these wonderful designs!!
I'm so happy that you decided to start a You Tube channel!
I will be starting on your Vintage Housewife quilt. I'm so excited! Your videos are great!
