Patterns #439 - #443 you might have noticed are all done in the colors of blues, creams and browns.  I used a beautiful new line of fabric that is shipping to your favorite Quilt Shops this month!

This is Charlotte c. 1860. Carrie Quinn, owner of Pieceful Gatherings Quilt Shop in Fox River Grove, Illinois is the designer

The shop has fat quarter bundles available for Pre-Order on the website, so here's a link to hop on over and check those out:

Carrie designed this quilt shown above called Charlotte's Medallion and she has it on the shop website available as a Block Of The Month Program  Here's the direct link for that:

Charlotte Medallion BOM

Carrie also designed the quilt shown above called Charlie's Star Puzzle!  Isn't it amazing!  

On Little Bits pattern #444 I used all fabrics from another of my favorite designers ~ Pam Buda.  

She has her beautiful fabrics on her website in yardage and layer cakes ~ layer cakes are perfect for the Little Bits pattern ~ follow this link

Layer Cakes

But ~~~~  shown above is another game changer in our fabric loving worlds ~  6" rolls of her lovely fabric.  Oh my goodness, I'm in love with these!  You can order these fabulous rolls (which also work with the Little Bits pattern perfectly!)  here at this link:

And I've blogged about her newest book that she wrote before but I must show you again:

I cannot tell you have much I love this book.  If you haven't seen it yet, be sure and order it. It is a must have for your quilting library.  It can be found here:

Hands All Around Quilt

 I've been slowly working on this quilt for a few months now - I cannot remember for the life of me if I shared this with you already or not!

This is the Hands All Around quilt block and I'm using a pattern from a binder collection of patterns called: Best Loved Quilt Patterns.  I found this collection of patterns on ebay a few years back.  I love this collection of patterns - lots of oldie but goodie style quilts!~  Here's a picture of the cover on the binder:

So far I have 3 completed quilt blocks and I'm working on a fourth.  They are a nice large finished size block and I'm using a fabric from the Civil War Ladies fabric line by Judie Rothermel for Marcus Brothers!  It works perfect in the center of these blocks - Don't you think?
