Riley Blake Project Tour - Picadilly – Cap’s New Shield

I am back to share with you a fun new collection from Amanda Castor of Material Girl Quilts. Picadilly celebrates summer in America and is named after Amanda’s father’s home on Picadilly Court in Indiana. The collection is of course red, white and blue. It features bandana type prints, gingham, fireworks, orange peal, dots, stars, and strips.

I happen to have a couple of grandsons who are superhero obsessed. There’s one in particular of which they are big fans. Although the eldest is now 13 years old and too cool to admit it, the 7 year old is still can tell you every thing about each superhero and their origins. I will admit that I don’t always pay attention to all the little details, but I do know there was a change. So, I thought that as a birthday gift it would be fun for the 7 year old to have a quilt with Grandma’s idea of a new shield for his hero.

So here is Cap’s New Shield…

This is a fun and quick quilt to make. It looks tricky, but it is all about twists and turns while placing the blocks. The pattern will be available soon in my Etsy shop if you’d like to make one for someone special in your life.

Until next time…I hope you always find something around you that inspires your creativity…

Riley Blake Project Tour - Halloween Whimsy and Wrangie's Halloween Adventure

 Hi Makers!

I am back again to share with you a fun and mischievous new quilt series. The first in the series features the whimsical new collection by Teresa Kogot, Halloween Whimsy.  

The collection, Halloween Whimsy is all about the mischievous spirit of Halloween with witches, cats, pumpkins, stars, stripes, and crows. The color palette of green, black, parchment and of course orange are perfect for any fun spooky project. All of these bewitching prints made for the perfect fabric collection to introduce this new little mischievous guy named Wrangie.

As Wrangie is riding though the pumpkin patch on a beautiful fall day, he causing all the pumpkins and leaves to go twirling and whirling about. The pumpkins riding inside Wrangie are even bouncing all around as well.

The quilt pattern is perfect to highlight the various whimsical prints in the collection as each pumpkin and leaf features multiple prints.

Wrangie's Halloween Adventure will be available soon in my Etsy Shop, if you’d like to make a version for yourself or someone special in your life.

Here's a little fun with Wrangie and The Grace Company's Q'Nique 15R along with Quiters Creative Touch 5...
