New Love......

Confessions of a Fabric-o-holic:  Whoops, I did it again, I keep buying fabric as if it will be extinct tomorrow!!  Oh the joys of receiving a beautifully wrapped box of brand new, smooth, crisp fabric. I am especially endeared with the FQ shop as they package things so nicely! I also bought some in this little quilt shop on vacation called Q.

Fabric stash of favorites

But my new found crush in fabrics is by Bonnie and Camille,  mother and daughter team.  I just absolutely love everything about their fabric. The colors, the patterns, the graphics, sigh! I even have lost sleep over it, how's that for a real crush?  I have so many plans and designs for these, I can't wait to get started. For the record, this is one of the very few fabrics that I have purchased more than 2 yards of, like 3 and 5 yards, this is serious people! 


My heart belongs to Bonnie & Camille

So here is the close up of my Bonnie and Camille section in the fabric stash. I was very happy to make room for them.  For the record, these fabrics are from the Ruby and Vintage Modern collection. Coming up next is Marmalade, with orange.  What's your new crush, fabric or not? Do tell!

Friday Night Block Party: Pinwheels

Welcome to the Friday Night Block Party here at Summercrafter.  If  you missed the first one , don't worry there's another one today!  Every Friday I will be featuring a new quilt block and the name or names associated with it and a little history.         Today's featured block is the called the Pinwheel. (It's on the button above!) I love it because it means fun! It makes me think of ...       Ferris wheels     and cartwheels  and wind. The Pinwheel block, was created in the United States around the 1800's. It became a very popular quilt block pattern and continues to be used in a variety of styles. There are so many ways to accent the "blades" with the colors (light/dark) patterns and placement, both within and around a quilt.  And it's really not a difficult block to do, I'll show you three different kinds of pinwheel blocks to try.

It's a Block Party!

Welcome to the Friday Night Block Party! I always wanted to live in a neighborhood that had block parties, but I lived in a cul-de-sac where people only made U-turns!  But I have decided to make my own Block Party right here on the blog! We'll be here every Friday and you can even be a host if you want.  Just shoot me an email . But for now, let's get this party started!     I am going to be showcasing some great quilt blocks in this feature with some back stories. This is a good way to become more familiar with the history of quilting and the blocks, read a blurb here . And of course, making samples is a great hands-on experience. Join me won't you?     You could share the same block, which would be nice, but a Block Party is a Block Party! So just add your link to feature any block that you are working on whether it's paper or fabric. I am asking however, that you please add n...
