Stash/Design Wall Post/Applique Too!

I used a 1/2 yard from my stash to whip this charity top together.  I used a modified tube technique for it:

This top took about an hour and is for my St Ann's charity group.  Numbers on the sidebar for my stash report.

 I added another row of appliqued circles to my Happy Scrappy Orphan block quilt.  Need to work on this more as I'm getting behind, but what else is new?

And in the mail:

I got my huge box of Goodies from winning Rhonda's giveaway!  So many goodies! Just wanted to say a big thank you to Rhonda at Ravelly 1 for this. More on this later.

I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times, Lyn's BOMs Away, Connie's Linky Party Tuesday and Esther's WOW as I have done some applique. Phew - now off for two days of fun with my cousins and Mom in Temecula. See you for Hexie Weekend which is still open til Monday, midnight.

Hexie Weekend 6/27/14

Out of town guests arrive today - two of my favorite cousins from Houston, TX.  And then there is the World Cup - so not much blogging for the next 10 days.  But I love eye candy so here's one I found on Google images and want to share with you:

Love how hexagons were used here along with paper pieced stars.  This is an replica of an old 1920s quilt.  The pattern was used as a raffle quilt here  Have you found a hexagon quilt you're considering replicating? Please share it or your work in progress with us.  Linky below.  Blessings!

It's Applique Wednesday

because yesterday I was all day at the beach with the grandkids.  Poor #1 was sick, so he basically dipped his toes in the water and took a nap under the umbrella.  #4 walked up the rise, took one look at the ocean and said "Wow!"  It was his first time.  Every time I said "let's go now", he begged to stay longer.  Finally, on the way home, I asked if he wanted to go to the beach again.  He said, "no".  LOL - that's the way it is with 3 yr olds.

The past week was busy with other projects and soccer (see previous post), so today I'd like to bring to your attention:

This is one of my favorite combo's = scrappy backgrounds and applique flowers.  Go here  to learn all about it.  It started in April, but you can get the two blocks at her Craftsy store for just $1.50 each.  The blocks are 12" square.  Enjoy!
