Songbird Blog Hop and Giveaway

Hello!  Welcome to the first day of the Songbird blog hop!  Thanks for stopping by.  Songbird is my new signature fabric collection with Island Batik, Lumin Fabrics, designed by Jerry Khiev.

Disclaimer:  The fabric used to make these quilts was given to me by Island Batik Lumin Fabrics.

The Songbird collection is a beautiful array of pink, purple, and blue fabric. Designs include birds, flowers, and foliage.  It is simply gorgeous and has something for everyone.  The combinations are endless.  I love it.  I hope you do, too. The Songbird fabric collection and accompanying patterns should be arriving in local quilt shops now.

I made four new quilts and patterns to accompany the Songbird fabric line.  Here are my quilts:

Cultivated

The Cultivated quilt is the largest quilt in the group.  It finishes at 86" x 98" and includes many different design elements, combining fusible applique blocks with pieced blocks, and also has an attractive pieced border.  You will not get bored making the same thing over and over with this project.  Patterns are available in the Curlicue Creations Etsy Shop as a PDF instant download or a paper copy via US Mail.

Daisy Daydream

Daisy Daydream is a small project finishing at 42" x 51", perfect for a throw quilt or to jazz up an empty wall space.  This medallion style quilt also features a number of different designs to keep it interesting and fun to sew.  The center daisy block is made with easy fusible applique.  HST's and strip piecing are also part of this project.  Patterns are available in the Curlicue Creations Etsy Shop as a PDF instant download or a paper copy via US Mail.

Garland

If you are looking for a quick to piece project that uses the entire Songbird collection (10" precut stack friendly!) Garland is the quilt for you.  Finishing at 56" x 73", Garland would be a nice gift for a child or comfy throw quilt to snuggle under on chilly nights.  Patterns are available in the Curlicue Creations Etsy Shop as a PDF instant download or a paper copy via US Mail.

The Wishing Star

This quilt was so much fun to design and stitch!  The Wishing Star features large and small sawtooth stars, arranged in a pleasing manner.  This square quilt finishes at 65" x 65".  Patterns are available in the Curlicue Creations Etsy Shop as a PDF instant download or a paper copy via US Mail.

In conjunction with the Songbird blog hop, I am giving away a complete 20 piece fat quarter bundle of Songbird, along with a print copy of one of my new patterns (winner's choice).  To enter, please sign up for my newsletter at the bottom of this post, or follow me on Facebook or Instagram.  You will receive one entry for each.  Please comment how you follow me in your entry and let me know which pattern you would like to receive if you are selected as the lucky one.  Open to USA residents only, due to shipping costs.  Please be sure you leave me a way to contact you as well.

Foxface Quilt and Pattern ~ New!

This is the Foxface quilt, my newest pattern.  It's featured in the Island Batik catalog.  This pattern is available in my Etsy shop and in select quilt shops across the USA.  I used Island Batik's new Honeycomb fabric collection to make this quilt.  Island Batik provided the fabric for this project.

The Foxface blocks are pieced and soooo adorable!  If you are following me on social media, you've probably seen snippets of the Foxface quilt all week.

Four Foxface blocks together make this fun unit.  The Foxfaces are sewn in three different color combinations.

The Foxface quilt finishes at 43" x 55".

I quilted Foxface in an allover loopy meander.

You can see the hot pink backing fabric, and the binding in this photo.

Island Batik Precuts

Do you remember waaaay back in July when I showed the unboxing video for my Island Batik Ambassador box #2?  I mentioned that the precuts would be coming at a later date.  They actually came a while ago and I posted them to Facebook and Instagram, but I totally forgot to write a blog post about them!  Here they are.

I received a strip pack of Sticks N Stones, plus a coordinating light fabric and a coordinating dark fabric.  Isn't this collection just wonderful?  This should be in local quilt shops now.

I also received a Bellingham Bay 10" stack - Yahoo!  I have a lot of ideas for this fabric.  I've played with this collection a lot in EQ8.  I just need to choose a design and start sewing.  If you love Bellingham Bay as much as I do, and you're feeling lucky, Island Batik is giving away some precuts of this collection this week on their blog as part of the Storm at Sea blog hop.  Click here to see all the new collections and enter to win:  Storm at Sea Blog Hop and Giveaway  I'll be on the hop on November 10th.  I'm still sewing my blocks - Yikes!  I'll be working on that today for sure.

Today's featured Ambassadors are: 

Gail Sheppard, Quilting Gail 

Preeti Harris, Sew Preeti Quilts

Have you heard about Quilty Box?  It's a box of quilty surprises delivered monthly to your mailbox.  What fun!  I received my first Quilty Box this week, the October box.  So excited ~ I couldn't wait to see what was inside.

 Each month's box is curated by a different quilt designer.  This month's sewlebrity is one of my faves, Leah Day ~ awesome!  The little booklet includes an interview with Leah, instructions to make a project using the included fabric, plus a cutie pie pumpkin block.

Also inside this month's Quilty Box:  Two one yard cuts of gorgeous Island Batik fabric.

Matching Isacord thread.

 Soak quilt wash, a pack of Clover self-threading needles (I love these!)

Tutu notions holder and pincushion.  This looks really neat-o!  It fits over a wide mouth mason jar and you can customize the pincushion part with the fabric of your choice.  I'll be trying this product out soon and showing my result in a future post.  Can't wait to try it out.
