Riley Blake Project Tour - Our House Quilt

 


Today's Riley Blake Project tour is all about Celebrate with Hershey's Valentine Day.

First, I have a confession … I cannot resist some good chocolate. Hershey Kisses have so many fond memories for me from using them to make Peanut Butter Blossom cookies at Christmas, placing pastel foil wrapped kisses in my children’s Easter baskets, to keeping a candy dish filled with them on the entertainment unit during the month of February.

The newest Celebrate with Hershey collection is filled with silver sparkle kisses, X’s and O’s. It has a yummy palette of fuchsia, chocolate brown, pink, silver, purple, and white.


I decided to make a Hershey Kisses filled village using my quilt pattern Our House. Using Pink Hearts as the background and Taffy Bee Cross Stitch made this explosion of sweetness.

I also made an alternate version of the quilt using Poppie Cotton's House and Home Collection. 

If you’s like to make your own version of Our House, the pattern is available in my Etsy shop. Our House makes for a fun quilt to snuggle with your favorite person or to gift to a new home owner.  the pattern includes alternate layouts and sizes. 

This busy grandma is off to snuggle with my version of this quilt and a few grands.

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

RBD - At First Sight - Project Tour Plaid Stars Quilt

 Hi Makers!

I am so happy to share with you this very soft and romantic project, Plaid Stars Quilt.  


The quilt was created using the stunning new collection by Dani Mogstad, At First Sight. This romantic collection has a color palette of seafoam, blush, cream, pine, black, and coral. The fabric prints include florals, gemstone hearts, vines, strips, plaid, blossoms, and circles.


I chose to use the seafoam, blush, coral, pine, cream and a little pop of black.  


Using the dark and light versions of various prints created an interesting plaid affect with stars intermixed in the plaid and White Sparkler cotton as the background. The quilt was backed with some baby pink kisses.

If you’s like to make your own version of Plaid Stars, the pattern is available in my Etsy shop. Plaid Stars makes for a fun quilt to snuggle with your favorite person.

This busy grandma is off to snuggle with my version of this quilt, my favorite two month old and two year old girls. Here's hoping the two year old will take a nap before mommy and daddy get home.

Happy Thanks Giving to you and your if you are in the States!!
