Summercrafter

 Made entirely of scrappy strips.  Because the Pebble quilting was so compact and I only "outline" quilted the star, it did get a "bubbling" type of effect when lying flat. Can you tell? Who cares though? The pebble quilting looks so great! So there you have it! The finished "Adorn" pattern from  Simply Retro by Camille Roskelley.  

This post is to show you the completed baby quilt from the "Playground" pattern from the same book. It's done in Baby Big Top Circus fabric by Timeless Treasures. Not much a fan of circuses per se, but they sure look great as illustrations and fabric! This pattern is one of the projects in the book Simply Retro by Camille Roskelley.  Jana is hosting a quilt along on her blog . I wanted to give you an update on how lovely this quilt came out. At least I was happy with the result. I just quilted loops, that's "circus-y" isn't it?  large loops on the blocks and small loopier loops on the sashing and borders. The backing has moons and stars, I used this for my son's room 14 years ago! Let's just say I've come such a looooong way!! Can you guess my favorite part?  Solid binding in various colors, it was the perfect complement. And it was very convenient to have this jelly roll handy!...

Hope you enjoyed your Labor Day, the very much needed break from beginning of school craziness.  And if you are a teacher friend visiting for the first time, Hi! So glad you stopped by! I wanted to share this little project with you. It's a little house quilt, the pattern is called "Dwell" from Camille Roskelley's book Simply Retro . I left out the Pinwheel house which was super cute because I ran out of Dr. Seuss scraps! But I am going to make this again, for sure!! This is just a miniature "try it out" version. It's perfect to decorate your classroom library. You can put it on the wall or on a bench or table. So let's have a raffle for all my teacher friends. If you want this for your classroom or for a teacher you know, leave me a comment and I'll announce the lucky winner here and on Facebook you have until next Wednesday the 11th! On your mark! Get set! GO!!!!!!! This giveaway is now closed. The winn...
