Goin' Through Time - Time in a Bottle Blog Hop

   Welcome to the first day of the

Time in a Bottle Blog Hop!

I'm happy to kick things off with
"Goin' Through Time"


Carol at Just Let Me Quilt presented bloggers with the challenge to make something
with an hourglass block.
Thank you, Carol, for inviting me to join this super fun blog hop!


I hinted back in November about this quilt and what I had in mind to make
when I made this mug rug for the


I'm trying to use as much of my stash fabric as possible this year
and I cut strips of varying widths to fit with the hourglass blocks.
It was so fun to design and put together this 
Rainbow Hourglass quilt
that I call
Goin' Through Time


because the strips go "through" the hourglass blocks.
I have a free tutorial to make hourglass blocks that I made several years ago.
Click HERE for that.


Goin' Through Time
 is about 40" x 50" and is quilted with a simple meander.
The backing is a grey Minky fabric for coziness.


I love to make quilts in rainbow colors.


Want some more
Hourglass block inspiration?

Here is the full schedule:


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.


See you next month for Joan's
Wonderful World of Color 
(my kind of hop for sure...)

Official sign-ups for the May Blog Hop will start soon 
(after the Time in a Bottle blog hop is over).


Stay tuned for the announcement here at 
Creatin' in the Sticks.

Paused Stripes - Show Your Stripes Blog Hop and Giveaway

 Welcome to Creatin' in the Sticks 
and
my day - the final day for the Show Your Stripes 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
"Paused Stripes" Quilt.


I'm working on using up the fabric in my stash this year.
This quilt was super fun to make and used up quite a few strips and little bits too.
My design was inspired by Jen Kingwell's Gypsy Quilt.


I had so much fun making 6" blocks and randomly placing them in my "stripes".
The quilting is wavy stripes and stars.


I love a color wheel-inspired quilt and made this 64" x 72" quilt an explosion of the rainbow.


I can't wait for winter to be over and the color to return outside.


We are celebrating stripes with a blog hop
and
I've invited my blogging friends to
stitch something up with stripes in mind. 

I'm sharing my day with these bloggers:



This blog hop is for everyone!
Have fun visiting each blog and making new friends.

They have worked hard to show us some new ideas, so be sure to thank them with 
a sweet comment!
