It's time to peek inside the January 2019 Quilty Box Mini! When you open the shipping bag every month you will find the contents lovingly wrapped in tissue paper. This always makes it feel special to me, like I'm opening a gift. Such a nice touch.
Inside the tissue, I found Quilty Box's Bundles of Inspiration magazine, the Tie One On charm pack, and a new spool of Aurifil thread.
This month's featured designer is Scott Hansen (I love his curly mustache!) The pattern for his iForest quilt has a playful modern feel. The Tie One On Fan quilt looks intriguing, too.
The Tie One On charm pack is by Banyan Batiks for Blue Nickel Studios.
This charm pack features a huge array of colors and patterns.
I unwrapped this month's Aurifil thread so you can see the full richness and depth of this plum color! Isn't it delicious? I'm ready to sew something with this thread. One of my favorite colors, to be sure.
I've completed my quilt for the Getaway Hop. I need to do a photo session and write my post this weekend. Please be sure to stop by this Monday to see my quilt, a glorious new fabric collection by Island Batik, and I'll have a giveaway, too.
The blog hop is taking a break over the weekend. This is a great time to catch up, if you've missed a few days over the past two weeks. Here's all the links, enjoy!

Look at these happy, scrappy blocks! Just seeing them up on my design wall makes me feel good all over, like sunshine on a winter day.
I'm sewing the Feathering quilt by Giucy Giuce. This is in the Bundles of Inspiration magazine from the December Quilty Box. I'm making a slightly scrappier version, instead of using all cool tones like Giucy did.
To make my quilt, I'm using the entire charm pack of Quantum fabrics, plus a few light fabrics, and one green fabric that coordinates from my stash.
Here you can see more of the gorgeous jewel tones I'm working with. I love these colors! I didn't want them to languish on a shelf somewhere. They begged to be sewn into a glorious quilt right away.
This pattern works really well with 5" charms. It calls for making half square triangles with 5" squares, then trimming them to 4-1/2". Here are some of the blocks that I still need to trim.
These are the blocks that I've trimmed so far. This is going to be cute! I'll post an update when I find time to work on this again. Not today ~ Yesterday I sewed the binding on my Getaway blog hop quilt. Today, I'll be sewing the sleeve and label. My day for the hop is coming up on Monday.
Today's Island Batik Getaway Blog Hop featured bloggers are:
I'm so excited to be a part of this upcoming Blog Hop, hosted by Bea at BeaQuilter! This hop is all about finding an old quilt book in your personal library that you've always admired, but never tried before. It was tough, but fun narrowing it down to just one book. Now I can't wait to sew my quilt and share it with everyone on the upcoming hop. The dates for this event will be February 18 - 22. Here's a list of everyone who is participating:
My day will be Tuesday, February 19th. This looks like a fun and inspirational week! See you then.
If you're looking for a hop to visit today, it's week two of the Island Batik Getaway Blog Hop. I'm going to be binding my quilt for this hop today. My day is coming up fast, on the 21st. Here are today's bloggers:
