Stuff and nonsense

I bet you thought I had forgotten all about my Summer Moon sampler!

Nope!


But life happens and takes us away from our passions, sometimes. . . . actually, quilting is excellent therapy, no? It's good for what ails ya!

I got all three Nonsense blocks done: the 5 inch, the 6.5 inch, and the 8 inch blocks are finished!

Gotta love a block that is totally half-square triangles and hourglass units!

My trusty "Bloc-Loc" ruler made short (and precise) work of these -- just look at those points! (polishing fingernails on front of shirt)


I love using all of these different fabrics in the same family of color . . .aren't these bunnies cute? Not sure how that piece of thread jumped onto the block!


If you are inspired to try the Summer Moon quilt, please use this link and hop over to the FatQuarterShop site to purchase the pattern book . . . yes, it's an affiliate link, and I will earn a teensy commission if you purchase anything on your visit. That's what keeps our merriment and mayhem going on, here at the Lilypad! So, thank you very much!!

And here's a question for you -- what's your favorite way to create a scrappy quilt? A variety of fabrics in one color family? Or all the colors in the rainbow?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Love,

Spring has sprung! Let's party!

Everybody ready to party?

What's not to love about a garden party in the spring? Gorgeous flowers, happy colors, a cuppa Earl Grey and a blueberry scone . . . ummmmm.

Now that I have your attention, I'd like for you to know about the Accuquilt party tomorrow!! Right in your own house! 

Accuquilt is bringing the fun (and prizes) right to you! 


If you will click on this link, you will be pre-registered for the event! All you need to do is brew some tea and set out the scones and softened butter -- they will send you a quick reminder when it's time to tune in!

They will be unveiling the newest Accuquilt die -- they've promised this will be a special one. And I be they're right! After all, the adorable flamingo die from last month was hugely popular.....it's completely sold out!

      
You'll want to be one of the first to see the die for May, so that you will have an opportunity to grab one for your own, before it is sold out, too! (Supplies are limited!)

While you are browsing at the Accuquilt site, be aware that this month we are celebrating May Fabric Cutter Mania! There are special opportunities for savings all month long!

Be sure to check out all of the inspirational (and free) patterns and start planning your next spring project!
