Happy Birthday Summercrafter!!

Hi Everyone,

Today is the one year anniversary of my blog and its first post! I am so excited to have been doing this for a year, it's a fun way to be accountable to myself to craft regularly and document my creative journey. I have also met some other great creative people along the way.  Thanks so much for all of you who have been there supporting and encouraging me and especially for those who have faithfully read my blog, that means a lot to me. : ) And for you newbies who came along later or just recently visited and/or joined THANKS to you too!  If not for the readers, where would blogs be?

To celebrate this occasion it is no coincidence that today, one of my projects is being featured on Quiltstory.  So click below, if you will,  and take a look and read a quilt story or two for yourself!


I hope you checked it out and enjoyed the many beautiful quilts and stories behind them on this great quilt blog. They have tons of great projects from all over and I am so honored and excited for this opportunity to also be featured with other quilters who are so amazing, thanks Heather & Megan!

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.

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...
