Where Flowers Bloom - The Final Day and My Day

My vision became a reality thanks to everyone who played along in the
Where Flowers Bloom Blog Hop.

It was so fun to see flowers take center stage for one week
and
to all that particiapated or commented -
Thank you so much!

It's been such a fun week.

It's my day to share my blooms
and
I made this pillow to remind me of this blog hop.


Just a little fusible applique with
on a background of white to go with my farmhouse decor .

I've hosted a few hops, but this is definitely one of my favorites.
The inspiration and sweet flowers have been awesome.



I made another pillow cover to go with my bloom pillow.


This one was made just like these pillow covers that were created for a tutorial for Thermoweb
and a 
spring quilt market display for Anna Griffin Fabric.



They are super soft because you use 
in the ruffle to create dimension and softness.
The ruffles in these large blooms are super simple with the technique in the pattern.

The full free tutorial is on the ThermOWeb blog click - Here
and
You can download the free PDF pattern from my Craftsy pattern store HERE.

I decided to make a pieced pillow cover too.


The design is my own and I plan on using it in a quilt too.
Stay tuned for that...

And here are my new blooming pillow cushions.



Here is the schedule for today:

Happy Groundhog Day - Friday Recap

It's Groundhog Day here in the USA
and
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. 

I guess this means we have 6 more weeks of winter...
yeah.
YUCK!

But, maybe I can have a productive 6 weeks of sewing.



This week has been a crazy one in my little sewing world.

First I finished
the second challenge of 
for
Project Quilting.


We celebrated Kansas Day here in the Sticks with
this quick and easy

BOM.


Our team of designers is so excited and Amy started us off with a great block!
It's so hard to keep these blocks secret.

Lucky for me I had my block #1 finished before all the crazy of this week.

I did manage to get a little girl time this week with my sweets.

I'm so in love....

Wow, there is a lot of LOVE on this post.

SO, here's some more...

Next week is an exciting one too!
Carol over at Just Let Me Quilt is hosting


Here's the list of bloggers participating:


I can't wait to show the quilt I put a lot of LOVE into.


Just when you thought I was done for the week...
I've been working on a project for the Fat Quarter Shop.


The Classic and Vintage Series has a new block coming in February
and
they've asked me to play along.
The pattern is a new take on the classic Hunter Star quilt block and I'm loving it!

AND
that's it for the week.

I look at this pile of fabric behind me and I have so much more to do,
but this week marked a lot off my list.

Hope your week was as eventful as mine...

We have to get through winter somehow.
