Cut. Press. Sew. Quilt. - A New Pattern and Announcing a New Sew Along!! ...

Good morning cute people!

I'm so excited to introduce you to the last of my 

Vintage Happy patterns that I have

 been preparing for Spring Quilt Market:)

My latest pattern is called

Cut. Press. Sew. Quilt.

Four little quilts to hang in your sewing room…

 or to sew for all of your quilty friends:)

Another fun announcement is that 

I will be hosting a new Sew Along here 

for the summer starting in June!

YaY!

We will be sewing the 

block in the photo above.

I designed this block for

  a quilt along 1 1/2 years ago 

and the even did a YouTube 

segment about it. 

I have been so busy with

 my other sew alongs since then…

but now it's time because the

 GGSquared Sew Along 

is coming to a close soon.

 The block as well as the 

sew along is called 

“Scrappy Happy”

I decided that this would be

 the perfect pattern to include

 the block pattern in

 and we will be using it

 as a manual for the sew along.

I'm going to be making a quilt with

the Scrappy Happy block as well as

some other projects…

but with each project the 

block will be 

a different size and setting!

YaY again!

(Cutting instructions for the

 different sized Scrappy Happy blocks

 used in the sew along are included 

in the pattern)

We will be using all different sizes of scrappy squares and a few rectangles:)

If you want to play with

 my newest pattern

it's available for purchase

Have a quilty kind of day!!!

3 New Vintage Happy Patterns!...

I have been a busy bee playing with my 

newest fabric collection Vintage Happy.

Today I have 3 new patterns listed in my shop.

This first one is called

 Tumble Dry

I used 72 - 10" squares of Vintage Happy and a small amount of

 several matching solids to make the quilt.

I think the blocks remind me of the back of the dryer drum…

or a laundry symbol and so that is how it got it's name!

The blocks are rotary cut and pieced…

then turned into a circle with the help of my large

Bee in my Bonnet Circle Ruler.

Afterwards they are machine appliquéd.

It may look complicated but I promise it's sew easy…

(and easily addictive if I may say so)

I used this fabric from Vintage Happy for the back.

It's called the Vintage Cloth but I like to call it my

Vintage Victoria's Secret print…wink;)

And speaking of Vintage Victoria's Secret…

next up is my quilt of vintage bra's…

appropriately named

"Support Group"

I chose to use a new Riley blake solid 

for the background called Petal Pink…

Don't you think pink is a perfect color for a bra quilt?

I designed four different bra blocks called…

Training Bra, 34B, C Cup and Double D!

I mixed and matched Vintage Happy prints and a few solids...

And finished it off with a scrappy binding:)

The blocks are all rotary cut and machine pieced.

And last but not least is 

this quilt called of course...

 Vintage Camping! 

This quilt is inspired by

 my childhood camping trips.

My parents would load all of us kids

 (there were 10 of us plus our Irish Setter)

in the station wagon and 

off to the mountains we would go!

We were a close family 

inside that station wagon …

whether we wanted to be or not!..hehe:)

Good Times:)

As usual…

everything in this quilt is

 rotary cut and machine pieced as well:)

I started off by making the station wagon...

Then the vintage trailer

And then pieced the letters

 to spell out camping...

And put them all together and sewed lots

 of Vintage Happy squares around them:)

I backed it with this print from

 Vintage Happy…

inspired by vintage sheets:)

I made this for our trailer and

I can't wait to sleep 

warm and cozy under this quilt

on our next camping trip!

I also included this Vintage Trailer pillow in the pattern.

I plan on using this pattern a little later 

to make a quilt with all different Vintage Trailers:)

Each new pattern has just been listed

 in my Busy Bee Inc. 

It feels so good to be able to show you 

some of what I have been up to!

I have one more 

Vintage Happy pattern coming

but it won't be ready 

until Spring Quilt Market:)

Until then…

Have a quilty kind of day!
