A Queen and Her Dragon - Fairy Tales Blog Hop

    Welcome to the first day of the

Fairy Tales

Blog Hop!

I'm happy to kick things off with the

A Queen and her Dragon!

Joan of MooseStash Quilting has invited bloggers to sew something that's our Fairy Tale. 

What's your fairy tale?

Thank you, Joan, for inviting me to join this super fun blog hop!

My fairy tale starts with my precious...

princess granddaughter who says she is the queen.

Queen Elsa to be exact.

Our queen loves dragons and what is more "Fairy Tale" than dragons?

The pattern is Diggles the Dragon from the Funky Friends Factory.

He's about 18" and was super fun to make.

Every dragon needs a queen so I made the queen dressed in her favorite

attire (frozen colors and crown) by tweaking an original doll design.

You can get the original free doll pattern HERE

My granddaughter loves playing with stuffies and she will love these.

The Queen and Her Dragon will be played and played with

and

this Grammie's Fairy Tale will be fulfilled!

Check out all the other Fairy Tales!

It's so fun to get inspiration from Blog Hops.

I'm sure we will have way too many ideas swimming in our heads by the end of the week.

Sign-ups for the August Blog Hop will start soon (after the Fairy Tales Hop is over).

Stay tuned for the announcement.

Orange you glad?   ;)

Patchwork for the Kitchen - In The Kitchen Stitchin' Blog Hop

 Welcome to Creatin' in the Sticks 

and

my day - the final day for the In the Kitchen Stitchin' Blog Hop.

To all that participated or commented -

Thank you so much!

I enjoy hosting blog hop events so much.

My head is swimming with all kinds of ideas

and I can't wait to get to stitching.

But first, it's my day to show my

Patchwork for the Kitchen.

My kitchen has been undergoing a floor renovation so I had to take my pictures outside.

I didn't want sawdust in my new kitchen pretties...

I'm working on using up the fabric in my stash this year.

This patchwork dish towel and potholders 

were super fun to make and used up some 2 1/2" squares.

I purchased this package of Flour Sack Towels at my local Sam's several years ago

and 

this was the perfect opportunity to

follow a tutorial over at Crazy Mom Quilts I had seen for a Simple Patchwork Dish Towel.

Then an "aha" moment!

This is the perfect project for those little mini charm packs.

And is perfect for Halloween or for gifts!

Then another "aha" moment!

This is the perfect project for those 3" quilt blocks I've had sitting in a box.

Great for the grill too!

We are celebrating the kitchen
with projects during the

In the Kitchen Stitchin' blog hop.

I'm sharing my day with these bloggers:

Baby Shark PJs Transformed

 It's kids week over at Thermoweb this week

I have a fun project tutorial on the Thermoweb Blog.

Here is the list of Thermoweb supplies:

 After all, how can we have kids week without a little Baby Shark?

Hopefully, that song isn't living in your head...
