“Fall” Letters

This is a post that I shared a couple of weeks ago over at “I Should Be Mopping the Floor”  and wanted to share it with you today!  

 I have a little project that will help you celebrate this beautiful time of the year.  I love this project because it is one that you can leave out on your kitchen table, a fireplace mantel or a shelf for several months.  It does not need to come down with the Halloween decorations and can stay clear through Thanksgiving!

Flag Rag Quilt

I saw a flag quilt on Pinterest  the other day and decided that I needed to make one!  So I ran and got some fabric and put this together last night!  It was really easy to make, but when I washed it to make it “rag” out, some of the fabric shrunk differently than the other and it came out a little bit crooked.  I was just going to leave it, because it is just a seasonal decoration, but my OCD got the better part of me and I had to straightened it out! :)

Patriotic Round-up

Today I decided that I would just share a few fun ideas from past posts,  to make your summer just a little bit more patriotic.  With the 4th of July coming up, maybe you could use one or two of these ideas.  Just click on the link below each picture for step-by-step directions or recipes.

This first idea, to help with your decorating needs, are these fun lollies.  They are easy to make and they are quite stunning!  I made mine into a garland and you can learn how to make your own too:

If you need a really yummy, refreshing drink for your outdoor parties this summer, you will want to try this beautiful Cherry Limeade drink!  It tastes as good as it looks!

4th of July Party

This recipe is perfect for snacking, but I must warn you that it can be very addicting!  With the sweet and salty taste, you won’t be able to eat just one handful!  It is a combination of chocolatey, sweet, salty, peanut butter, and marshmellowy bliss! This is fun to package up in individual cups or bags and looks so pretty!  There is also a story behind the name of this treat!

Better Than Hunting Chex Mix

And last, but not least, here is a fun printable for you to use!  We all know how precious our freedom is, so let’s let it RING!  You can make it into a faux canvas block, like I did here, or you can just print it and frame it.  There is the tan background or a white version.

So that is my patriotic round-up.  I hope that there is one or two ideas that you can use for your summer fun!

Have a great day everyone!  Love Ya!

Sunny Arizona

My husband and I just got back from our annual trip to Sunny Arizona!  We go every year for Spring Training Baseball, well at least that is what we say we go for, but we pack a whole lot more into this trip than just baseball!  My number one favorite reason for going this time of year is for the beautiful sunny skies!  It is always so warm and wonderful every year when we go and I love just soaking in all of that gorgeous sunshine.   It does make it a little difficult to come home when everyone back home (Utah) says that it is snowing again, but after a glorious 10 days we did decide to come back! :)

Block of the Month Club

I am so excited!  I joined a block of the month quilt at Just Sew in Highland, Utah!

I absolutely love the colors and the patterns in this quilt.

The pattern for this quilt is called:  Sew Classic Sampler.

This pattern  is designed to teach three kinds of piecing (regular, paper and template piecing) as well as a little applique.  It is a very stunning quilt and I am SEW excited to be doing this!

These are my first two blocks that I have finished for this month:

Name of this block is: Arbor Window (aka Granny Square)
