Don't let the Door Stop You Blog Hop Sign Up - you should see mine....

I am cheering another blog hop.  I think Madame Samm thinks I need a door stop intervention.  Scroll down and you will see why...

 

This blog hop will be going on the same time as She who Sews blog hop ( below)…..one day She who Sews, next day DOOR STOP and DRAFT Stoppers….

I will be cheering this one too…NEVER EVER has Madame Samm had 2 simultaneously, so if nothing else it will be one colourful hop… You will have 2 different days to show your gems….as each day we will be showcasing a different hop…Sounds confusing, but really Madame Samm and I have it all together…
(She knows how to break a newbie in)

Those who have signed up for She Who Sews, if you also want to make a door stopper, you must sign up again. That will take up 2 spots. We also have been listening to you all, and we are keeping our numbers down so everyone can enjoy the VIEW.

Cabin Coolaid, Fat Quarter Shop

Cabin Coolaid quilt and pillow

 

 

 

I really wanted to try the Fat Quarter Shop's FREE Shortcut Quilts pattern, Layer Cake Lemonade which was released last week. (Speaking of the Fat Quarter Shop, the giveaway winner is announced  below). The top was a finish last week and today I present Cabin Coolaid as a finish with a pillow made from the scraps. I just happened to have two short stacks of Riley Blake, Elk Ridge fabric in my stash and it was just enough to make another manly project for MOvember. This is the last brown project I'm starting for awhile, by the way. 

 

 

This quilt is perfect for my "man cave" of a house (cabin) where nothing famine fits in.  My hubby loves this rustic style quilt, of course. 

 

 

There aren't a lot of scraps from the construction of the quilt, but there was enough to make a 16" cushion cover with a little leftover fabric from the Football Stadium quilt.  I quilted the pillow and quilt with leaves and vines with free motion on my domestic with thread I recieved from my friend Jen over at Glinda Quilts.

 

 

Thank you, my friend.  I really liked this thread and it was perfect for these projects.

 

 

 

 

The quilt is 48" x 61" and is perfect for cuddling up in front of the fireplace in a cabin during the winter.

 

There is a big sale at the Fat Quarter Shop for black Friday, 25% off site wide.

 

It's time to announce the winner of the Fat Quarter Shop gift certificate!  The Quilting Gallery organized a hop to say thank you for all the wonderful blog readers across the globe and the Fat Quarter Shop sponsored a giveaway here at Creatin' in the Sticks.The winner will receive a $20.00 gift card.  The winner is.....

Taking the MO out of November

Today I have a quilt top finish to share.  I really wanted to try the Fat Quarter Shop's  FREE Shortcut Quilts pattern, Layer Cake Lemonade which was released this week.  I just happened to have two short stacks of Riley Blake, Elk Ridge fabric in my stash and it was just enough to make another manly project for MOvember.  It was fast and easy.



Cabin Coolaid

This quit will be perfect to curl up with here at the cabin.  The winter chill is here and I'm going to need something to stay warm.  This quilt, Cabin Coolaid, will make this couch look a little lot better.

Don't forget about the Fat Quarter shop Gift Certificate Giveaway.  Sign up ends November 28th

I'm ready to lose the "MO" in Movember and do something girly.  I love my guys, but I'm ready for bright and happy.

Sneak peak, no, not really--hehe

Time to start on a super girly gift for my pink loving friend, Jen over at Glinda Quilts.  Even though I'm starting, dear friend, it probably means you will be receiving this same time next year...lol

And... tomorrow is the sign up for a new blog hop for January/February and I will be cheering everyone on!  Check out the details over at Sew we Quilt and sign up to make your sewing room projects and show them off.

 

I even have my own cheerleader, now.  Isn't she a beauty? 

I can't wait to hear from everyone when you sign up to hop,

 

Linking up with Amanda Jean at Crazy Mom Quilts - you have to check out Scrap Vortex.
