Whew.
The kids went back to school this week. I’m slowing digging out of all of the things that I kept saying, “I’ll worry about that when school starts…” One of those things was putting my sewing space back in order. It definitely became a dumping ground over the past few weeks as I sewed sporadically and then ignored it for days. I have no regrets of taking things slow and easy this summer, but it also feels good to get things straightened up and organized again.
I also liked hanging up some of gradually accumulating orange peel applique blocks on the design wall. I got a bunch more done during the Olympics, so that felt fun and productive.
Also, I finally posted winners for the Pre-cuts giveaway. Thanks to all for your VERY kind words and comments on that post. I have been so behind on communication of any kind this summer (apologies if someone has emailed me and I never responded). I knew I could never respond individually to all of them, but I do feel so grateful for so many kind words. Thanks to all of you for your patience in my slowness. (Hopefully you were enjoying your own slowness.)
Some fun surprises in the mail this week + something fun to share:
This week I received these fun new tins from the Fat Quarter Shop. Not only are they cute, but they’re handy containers for helping with aforementioned organization. They measure 2 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and come individually or as a set of three.
I put my vintage hexagons + scissors/needles in one so that I can easily grab it and take it on the go. I love that it’s a sturdy container and I can throw it in my bag and everything stays safe and in good condition.
Also arrived this week: the August Sew Sampler box from the Fat Quarter Shop. This box had so many good goodies! A Bobbin Nest for keeping track of your bobbins, a quilt binding tool to make it quick and easy to join your binding edges, and I’m so excited to try out those Quilter’s Perfect Stick Klips – you can use them for hanging quilts – sounds so handy!
Also included is a “Jolly Bar” – an exclusive Moda 5″ x 10″ pre-cut just for the Fat Quarter Shop – and a fun book of 20 patterns just for Jolly Bars. There are some really fun, fast projects in that book – I can’t wait to give some of them a try. And I love Corey Yoder’s new Sundrops collection!
You can see more of the available Jolly Bars here. And you can learn more about the monthly Sew Sampler subscription boxes here. Each month contains fun new products and projects.
And finally, to celebrate the end of summer, and just for fun, the Fat Quarter Shop has a fun bundle of fabric to giveaway to one of you! Allison Harris’s latest collection Dixie from Windham fabrics just arrived. I LOVE this line – the colors are right up my alley – lots of bright primary colors. There are prints that are great blenders that stand on their own or work with lots of other combinations.
To enter to win a Dixie Fat Quarter bundle, just leave a comment. You can tell me something you’re planning to work on this fall, or just say hi. Giveaway open until Thursday, September 1 at midnight MST. (To leave a comment click on the little ‘word bubble’ with a number in it at the top of the post. 😉 ) GIVEAWAY CLOSED

I love your orange peel quilt, making one has been on my bucket list for a while now. Just finished making a quilt for the Orlando victims and will be sending out next week. The summer sure has gone fast, it won’t be long and we will be heading to Florida for the winter. Thanks for the giveaway!!!
Thanks Fat Quarter Shop!

Toni Anne Potter
August 27, 2016 at 10:13 pmThis is my only child’s senior year, all things college oriented will be consuming my fall and winter. My spring and summer will be coming to grips with his leaving home. I’m sad already and my husband is also. I know he’s growing up, I just wish it didn’t rush by so fast. Sorry for the rant. ;-> Toni Anne

Kim
August 27, 2016 at 10:47 pmOh, I love Dixie but I’m not allowed to buy anymore fabric for awhile!! I want to make a patriotic quilt with it! My kids started school two weeks ago but I am still working on catching up from the summer craziness!!

August 27, 2016 at 10:52 pmAren’t those tins just great? Fat Quarter Shop is the best.
tarnia
August 27, 2016 at 10:52 pmwith the change of seasons I am hoping to get a job. Its either that or I have to face doing my own spring cleaning. My dream job is one that pays enough to afford someone to clean all those annoying places like skirting boards and window ledges. I don’t sound like I am seting the bar very high, do I?
I really like your vintage hexies, I gather its a longer term project. Thanks for the giveaway. Tarnia.hodges at gmail

August 27, 2016 at 10:58 pmThanks for the wonderful give-away! I’m taking a break from quilting (I’m designing some memory quilts) and sewing a Makers Tote. Should be done soon and I can resume quilting.

Rike
August 27, 2016 at 11:28 pmOh, that’s easy. I don’t plan anything, because our first child will arrive during the next weeks. So, I hope, I can sew something but I won’t plan anything, so I won’t be to disappointed if I can not finish it.
Greetings, Rike

August 28, 2016 at 12:00 amThanks for the fantastic giveaway. I am currently finishing up a hand appliqued quilt. Just have the quilting to do on the border and then the binding and it will be complete.
Beth T.
August 28, 2016 at 12:00 amI’m working on some orange peels, too, although mine are batiks in muted colors. They’re taking some time, but that’s fine with me; when this project is finished it’s going to be like a scrapbook and travelogue of the entire year, I suspect.
Sophie W
August 28, 2016 at 12:02 amHi, I’m currently working on a quilt for my sofa, its the biggest I’ve attempted so far and I’m seeing half square triangles in my sleep- but loving it!!

Anna-Marie
August 28, 2016 at 1:53 amI’d like to finish a lap quilt for my Mum. It’s already pieced so shouldn’t take too long and then I need to start a twin quilt for my daughter’s eighteenth birthday next year. I’m relatively new to quilting so very slow – my first twin sized quilt took me nine months! I admire how productive you are!

August 28, 2016 at 2:16 amLove your sewing space! I am new to quilting and just starting with simple quilt block patterns. I have also started on a t-shirt memory quilt. This is proving to be a bigger project than I thought because the shirts are all different sizes! Thanks for all your good info!

August 28, 2016 at 2:54 amI’ve been working on piecing fabric scraps together I understand everything has to be cut precise but I’m still having trouble getting my points to match up BUT this is where I get most of my materials and supplies. I also throughly enjoy your YouTube videos that help so much,! Thanks
Gemini Jen NZ
August 28, 2016 at 3:10 amYour sewing space looks delightful and I am loving how your orange peel blocks are looking. We had an awkward time-zone difference for the Olympics but I still enjoyed seeing whatever was on whenever I could watch (and managed to make seven small tote bags along the way!).
Peg I.
August 28, 2016 at 3:14 amI am going to finish some quilts that I have started. Then start some new ones. Try to learn something knew.

August 28, 2016 at 3:18 amI just love to read your posts, glad you took a little time to slow down, we all need that! I am ready to play in my cool studio once the weather changes. I plan to catch up on my Splendid blocks and 365 blocks which I have ignored the past few weeks?. I just love the cool crisp days of fall and even look forward to what arrives quickly after???❄️.

janet
August 28, 2016 at 3:45 amSometimes when I’m between projects and waiting to be inspired, I go back to piecing from Tula’s 100 Modern Quilt Blocks. (I’m on #46) I think these simple, quick blocks are therapeutic and since I’m determined to use only SCRAPS, it’s very satisfying!
MaryAnn
August 28, 2016 at 3:58 amI am hoping to complete some WIP’s this fall and organize my space.

August 28, 2016 at 4:36 amHi Amy, I received my August Sew Sampler Box a few days ago, I just love it! It was like a little birthday present. I love the fabric in your give-away and it would be a beautiful project to work on when the weather gets dark and gray in a few months. Thank you for the great blog, always fun.
Pat
August 28, 2016 at 4:36 amWhen the cooler weather comes, that’s when I love to make quilts. It is probably the power of suggestion, but making them helps me stay warm. Using bright colors keeps me happy during the dark months of winter. This bundle says spring is right around the corner.
Patty Hammond
August 28, 2016 at 4:43 amDixie fabrics would be perfect as one of the five beach blankets I am constructing this fall and winter for our friends and families all headed to Cape Hatteras together next summer!
Great post!

August 28, 2016 at 4:44 amLovely work space! I want to finish my son’s quilt that is over a year in the process. I also would like to begin an airplane quilt for my grandson…after I finish dresses for his sisters and a John John for him.
KT
August 28, 2016 at 4:45 amLove seeing your orange peels up on the wall! We dropped our oldest off at college yesterday. Still getting my younger two ready for their first days–my youngest starts high school this year! I’m hoping to finish up a bunch of quilts this fall once it cools off around here.

Bia
August 28, 2016 at 5:06 amI’m getting ready for a kitchen re-do, which in my house means the sewing area moves temporarily. Any sewing I get done in the next couple months will be a bonus. Bring on inspirational fabric!
Ginny
August 28, 2016 at 5:08 amAlways happy for fall but sad to see summer go currently working in WIPs and pineapple block swap
Pat K
August 28, 2016 at 5:10 amI still consider myself a beginner, but I have been learning! Just completed 3 Christmas table runners, a lap quilt for a bide and groom, and a minion wall hanging for my neice. Next up a t-shirt memory quilt for a special new college student! Having so much fun!

Lin
August 28, 2016 at 5:12 amHi Amy, I love the colors in the Dixie. Right now I am working on Christmas placemats, aprons and pot holders. Hopefully I’ll be working on a quilt for my grandsons new quilt. He stated that he has out grown his guilt because he doesn’t like his feet hanging out. lol. Thank you
Terry
August 28, 2016 at 5:12 amI’m constantly trying to keep my sewing room organized, but would rather be sewing instead so it never gets done! Thank you for the chance to win. Am busy working on two double wedding ring quilts for both my sons who are getting married in October….. coming down to the wire now!

August 28, 2016 at 5:14 amThese Dixie fabrics would be a wonderful alternate fabric choice for your Watchtower pattern!

Buffy
August 28, 2016 at 5:22 amI have so much that I’m hoping to finish this fall that it’s hard to narrow it down but my main finish is a sweater that I’m trying to finish. It’s my first and it’s taking forever!
Sandy Trachsel
August 28, 2016 at 5:23 amHi Amy. I learn so much from your blog. I am helping a local hospice patient finish a quilt. She wanted an old hand-pieced quilt top sandwiched so she could hand-quilt. I only machine piece and quilt, so I am trying to learn from her. Next on my list is starting Eleanor Burns’ Radiant Star. My husband bought me the pattern book and a kit last Christmas. I hope to finish by this Christmas!
Cindy Smith
August 28, 2016 at 5:25 amGorgeous fabric! My WIP’s are about to take over my sewing room. When mowing is over, I’ll be able to sew on weekends. Yay!
LindaK
August 28, 2016 at 5:25 amThe colors and prints in the Dixie collection are just fun! Staying on top of a stitching room is so hard when things get flying…mine is our spare room and when kids come home, it gets cleaned. Of course I also do that in a hurry so it’s always a treat looking and looking for what I need after they’re on their way and then it does stay clean for a couple of days…ha!
Cathy Killiany
August 28, 2016 at 5:25 amSeptember will be dedicated to getting a tote full of quilt tops quilted so starting October 1st or before I’m getting my Christmas quilts started and done early this year. Or that’s the plan! Lol!

Sharon Gibson
August 28, 2016 at 5:32 amHi Amy, your sewing space is amazing and so tidy. The fabric is lovely. I have so many projects on the go at the moment which isn’t like me at all. Lori Holts Bloom quilt to finish, another one to start (just got the templates), half way through some gifts, just started doing Red Work and got hooked, going to do a baby quilt somehow with this, working on a pattern. Oh and a talk on gardening to sort out by this thurs, at this rate I will have to wing it! Thank you for the chance at the giveaway. Sharon x
Jaime
August 28, 2016 at 5:33 amI’m in the middle of my first REAL quilt right now! It’s paper-pieced and moving along quickly!
nancy
August 28, 2016 at 5:33 amHi!! I love your orange peel blocks. I have just discovered needle turned applique, and I am loving it. I have an orange peel template, but have not used it. Since seeing yours, I am thinking I need to get it going. Thanks for the idea!!
Mary Baker
August 28, 2016 at 5:34 amOur summer came to an early end when the children returned to school August 15- CRAZY early! I have a t-shirt quilt for a friend that just graduated from college that I said I’d start on Sept 1. In the meantime, I have a quilt to finish before then. Love the bright colors in the fat quarter bundle!

Kathryn M
August 28, 2016 at 5:45 amI have three quilts to finish so I can start some new projects like a fall table runner.
Susan
August 28, 2016 at 5:47 amI have SOOOO many things to finish up! This summer was incredibly busy and summer is usually my time to get caught up on my many works in progress since we homeschool and back to school means extra work for me. Even so, I’m hoping this fall gives me some time to get back up to date with my block of the months. I also have 2 quilts to bind for a Safenet project for children from abusive situations. Hoping to finish those in the next couple of weeks.
Cathy
August 28, 2016 at 5:48 amWorking on catching up on some UFO’s before heading south for the winter. Would love to win this for a winter project!!!
Thanks for the chance.!

August 28, 2016 at 5:55 amI’m currently waiting on some background fabric to arrive from StitchesNGiggles4u so I can start Erica Arndt’s Vintage Christmas.

August 28, 2016 at 5:58 amI have two quilt tops ready to sandwich and quilt. Need to practice some more on my free-motion before I get started. Looking forward to honing these skills ( if I have any). Practice, practice!
Donna M
August 28, 2016 at 6:03 amI am just finishing up a quilt top so it’s time to start the next one. Always have to have something going. Summer, fall, winter, spring, it doesn’t matter.
Linda Hope
August 28, 2016 at 6:03 amI have numerous projects going but have made nothing for us. I’d love to make a bright snuggle quilt for the sofa for those upcoming chilly evenings.
Judy Sigsworth
August 28, 2016 at 6:04 amI love the colors in the new Dixie line. I’m currently working on a small doll quilt for my grand niece, then I hope to finish two Fall/Halloween quilts for our grand niece and nephew. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Michelle
August 28, 2016 at 6:08 amI love the colors in this fabric line! They are perfect for my dining room. We have just moved after living 21 years in the same home, the home I raised my boys in. I am planning on makng a table runner and chair cushions and haven’t been able to find the mix I needed until now. Trying to make this place feel like home but I finally have my own sewing room, goodbye kitchen table! I’d love to win!
Donna Magee
August 28, 2016 at 6:09 amI am digging out from a busy summer too! Can’t wait to get back to serious sewing!

Marla
August 28, 2016 at 6:16 amWe’re so excited to be expecting our first grandchild at the first of the year, so I will be making a couple quilts to help welcome ‘her’ into our family!!
Sonya M
August 28, 2016 at 6:16 amI LOVE your orange peel blocks! I’m planning to make an orange peel quilt with a friend this fall. I will probably use a blanket stitch to secure them, though… my eyes don’t appreciate doing handwork for hours on end!
Vicki Gensini
August 28, 2016 at 6:19 amI hope to finish a quilt that I’ve put aside for the summer.
Judy Cunning
August 28, 2016 at 6:19 amI love the bright colors of the Dixie line too, Amy! It would great for a project I’ve been thinking about.
Rhonda DeLong
August 28, 2016 at 6:20 amI’m finally focused on all my unfinished quilts and am “kicking them out”. Now I just need to find someone to quilt some of them.
Chris Matsvhe
August 28, 2016 at 6:20 amThis fall I plan on hand quilting a bow tie quilt. This was my first quilt top that I made. Now just need to finish it. Matsche.christine@yahoo.com.
Betsy S
August 28, 2016 at 6:22 amI really like the colors in that fabric line. I am beginning to quilt some baby quilts I pieced over the summer. Two purple and three pink.
Cindy Mizer
August 28, 2016 at 6:23 amI love the Dixie line, too. It goes so well with her previous line, Hazel.
Melissa MacAdam
August 28, 2016 at 6:25 amIt’s funny – I’m well past school age and I don’t have kids so there’s no back to school rush but I still feel like September is the start of a new year. This fall I’m determined to organize all my quilt tops and commit to finishing 2 for every new project started!
Fran
August 28, 2016 at 6:29 amI love your orange peel blocks. They are so much fun to play with.

Janet Johnson
August 28, 2016 at 6:32 amI love all material, the smell and feel of beautiful material gives me great joy. I have just started learning machine quilting and enjoying ti very much. I have been a seamstress most of my life and sewed for other people; now learning new things and making some items for myself. Love your website.
Karen Monteith
August 28, 2016 at 6:36 amI would love to win the Dixie Fat Quarter bundle. They are lovely colours and I am starting to think about beginning my Christmas gift making.
Jonne Molesky
August 28, 2016 at 6:40 amThe colors are so vibrant! I’m working on a wedding quilt for my first grandchild who is getting married in Jan.
Judy Hudgins
August 28, 2016 at 6:41 amRight now, I need to get my August block finished for my Bee Hive swap and the block done for September since I’m the Queen that month. Once I get my blocks in, working on finishing up that quilt.
terri
August 28, 2016 at 6:44 amwhat do i want to work on? a better question would be what DONT i want to work on? i want to do a maple leaf quilt. i dont have any fall quilts. i have 4 that need binding. i have 2 that need quilting and binding, i have 1 that needs piecing and i have about 5 or so in the mind waiting to come out. i also have a few more i just need a few more fabrics for.

August 28, 2016 at 6:50 amHi Amy! Right now I am working on a table runner for a birthday gift. The birthday is Thursday so I am running late! I also am doing a mystery quilt that goes through April so I will be working on that this fall. Thanks for the fun give away.

August 28, 2016 at 6:52 amI am working on a quilt for my son in law. 🙂 He is the last one to get a quilt and it is going to be a doozy, lol.
Michelle O.
August 28, 2016 at 6:54 amMy plan for this fall is to organize my sewing area and finish the projects I’ve been working on. We’re moving July 2017 and I want to be ready for that 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway – the fabrics are so pretty!
koko3749
August 28, 2016 at 6:55 amSuch cheerful fabric for the the giveaway! I hope to get two quilts started soon for Christmas presents, since we know it’s not far off in “quilting time”! Thanks for the chance to win!
Joanne
August 28, 2016 at 7:00 amAs the summer winds down and the fall wraps us, my goal is the finish 3 memory quilts and to start the final one..and to add a happy balance -to work on a hexagon pillow cover in shades of orange/ reds/gold
Maureen
August 28, 2016 at 7:01 amI have a bunch of birthdays coming up, need to get busy making gifts. Glad you had a great summer!

August 28, 2016 at 7:04 amI love the Dixie Line – beautiful colors.I hope your kids have a wonderful start to the new school year..
Catherine
August 28, 2016 at 7:05 amI recently organized some unfinished quilt projects and would like to get some of them done. I’m also trying some appliqué.
Lindsay R
August 28, 2016 at 7:05 amMy hope for the Fall is that I will be working on lots of new quilts.
Janet Taber
August 28, 2016 at 7:06 amIt’s impossible for me get beyond being excited at back-to-school time. Now it is my grandchildren who have transitioned back to their classrooms, but this Mimi still gets excited about their new school supplies and the prospect of fall clothes and football games. It’s also time to start thinking about sewing for Christmas, because we’ll just turn around a couple of times and December will be here. So that’s what September holds in store for me. Looking forward to cardigans, colorful leaves and cutting out some new projects!
Louise
August 28, 2016 at 7:07 amI’m going to just try to get sewing again. My daughter moved into a new house and took her furniture that was still at my house. Unfortunately, it was the furniture in my sewing room. That means I just haaad to buy new stuff. Enter IKEA. Love my new space, but have not gotten anything made in it yet. That will change! Thanks for showing new items from Fat Quarter Shop. Those tins are already ordered! Thanks, also, for the give away.
Arianna
August 28, 2016 at 7:08 amI’m working on clothes for me this fall!
Yvette
August 28, 2016 at 7:10 amHi Amy! I’ve kept pretty busy during the summer with many quilty projects and I haven’t slowed down yet. Because of all the “to-do” projects swimming in my head, I have no idea what I would do with this fabric. But it’s so pretty!!! I know I’ll come up with something. BTW, you should always enjoy time with your kids during the summer. No one could ever fault you for that. xoxo
Cheryl
August 28, 2016 at 7:10 amI plan to work on a T- shirt quilt for my daughter. I will do the sewing, she will design the quilt using the shirts she kept from her childhood. She saves everything, and when she recently heard about T-shirt quilts, she thought it would be a great way to preserve her memories. I agree! Also, I purchased your Craftsy class on pre-cuts and am eager to watch, learn, and be inspired.
Katy(LethargicLass)
August 28, 2016 at 7:10 amI am working on too many things, but the main one is a 60th birthday quilt for my cousin
Georgina Sears
August 28, 2016 at 7:14 amI’m working on seven more grandkid’s quilts ~ hoping to finish before Christmas (wish me luck!!)
Patti McGarry
August 28, 2016 at 7:14 amI had 5 WIP’s that I did not get to finish this summer because of the heat. I very much hope to knock them out this fall!
Janet
August 28, 2016 at 7:15 amSuch lovely fabrics with such saturated colors! Thank you for the opportunity at the giveaway. This fall I’m not sewing much as I had shoulder surgery three weeks ago. I have learned to sew one-handed and thankfully I had several projects that were already cut. I’m limited to pushing fabric through the needle and ironing! Thankful to be able to just spend some time in my sewing room happy place!
Amy L
August 28, 2016 at 7:16 amThis fall, I’m going to try and get a quilt done for my brother-in-law. He’s the only member on my husband’s side without one to call his own. He recently became a bee keeper, so I’m on the prowl for golden, honey-colored fabrics. Allison’s fabrics are fun! We had a babysitter named Dixie when I was young, so this fabric has sentimental meaning for me.
Jenice Duvall
August 28, 2016 at 7:17 amThis blog post is just saturated with color! I have been trying to finish up several baby quilts – 3 more to go. Every baby needs a “Linus Blanket” and they are so quickly done, I get a lot of satisfaction in making them.
Teresa@aureaskitchen
August 28, 2016 at 7:17 amThis year I am trying to finish some wip… so I have 4 months ahead to finish them…
Gail Duman
August 28, 2016 at 7:17 amI finished 3 WIP’s and feel pretty good about it. Now I’m all caught up and ready to start something new.
Cathy B.
August 28, 2016 at 7:20 amI’ve just joined a local quilt guild starting up again in September. So excited to be able to share and bounce ideas off others!
Pam
August 28, 2016 at 7:20 amI have at least seven projects I am working on right now. I am also about to start a baby quilt for my new grand baby due in January. Lots of fun and I never get bored.
Ann Z
August 28, 2016 at 7:20 amEven though I no longer have kids going back to school, I still have a feeling of transition every September. I guess it’s just something that never goes away!
Timtirim
August 28, 2016 at 7:21 amI’m in love with your orange peel quilt! I hope I will have more time for sewing after schoolstart… I need a new bag and a quilt is also planned…
Emily C
August 28, 2016 at 7:21 amOooo. I love goodie boxes. I am trying to finish my current WIP, but it keeps hopping into UFO and back. So, I would love to have it finished soon, I doubt that is likely. I am making a teddy bear for my niece, which I am starting soon. That will get completed in the next week or so as her birthday is coming up.
Karen J.
August 28, 2016 at 7:22 amMy niece will be a first-time grandma in December and has asked me to sew nursery items. First item is cut out. She will be visiting later this week so I can teach her how to sew. Fun!!!
MARIA G.
August 28, 2016 at 7:24 amI just want to finish those cushions put aside early this summer…….
Claire
August 28, 2016 at 7:29 amI am loving your orange peel blocks and especially how you can just do one, or a ton at a time!
Jean D
August 28, 2016 at 7:29 amYour adorable orange peels are making my never used orange peel template scream to be used! After buying new shelves (at last!), I spent the better half of yesterday organizing my fabric. I got up early today and went in my sewing room to just LOOK at my stash. Today I’ll be playing with the stash and finishing up a set of placemats for my daughter. In fact, I am using the free pattern for charm pack placemats from the Fat Quarter Shop.
Meghan H.
August 28, 2016 at 7:30 amHi Amy, thanks so much at this chance for such a great giveaway! Hmmm, let’s see…..I’m working on three blocks of the month (two from local quilt shops and Pat Sloan’s Secret Garden BOM), so they have priority. And I also want to make more bibs for my students (I’m a special Ed teacher in a severe needs classroom). School is starting this week–yikes!!
Quilting Tangent
August 28, 2016 at 7:30 amHi, Quilting on a queen size quilt and applique on a tree skirt.
Karen Seitz
August 28, 2016 at 7:34 amI have a million projects underway but have temporarily lost my machine sewing mojo, so I am not sure what I am going to get finished any time soon. I have been stitching away on my Wild Olive 50 States motifs which had been tucked away for way too long, and I got started on the Frosted Pumpkin National Parks Club which started this week, so at least there’s some stitchy goodness happening around here.
Renea Yarolim
August 28, 2016 at 7:35 amI plan to continue on my goal of finishing projects that I started many years ago. Love this fabric. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.
Sheila Ramsden
August 28, 2016 at 7:36 amI just love the fabric!! I am making wallets, so these fabrics would be great, thanks
Stephanie W.
August 28, 2016 at 7:36 amI have a couple of gift quilts to work on but I would also love to get started on a fall quilt for myself. Not enough hours in the day!
Marie Cheesman
August 28, 2016 at 7:37 amThose tins from Fat Quarter Shop are beautiful and I can see where they would be especially good for travelling with your cutter. You’ve found other great ways to fill them too. Sounds like you had a great summer break and are ‘heading back to school’ in your own way. I find that September is always a great re-set month – not sure if it’s the conditioning from going back to school for all of those years but everyone seems to pick up their socks a bit and get more organized and focuses.. Lovely prints – thanks for the giveaway. p,s, Your design wall is looking great!
Karen Goad
August 28, 2016 at 7:37 amI will start a quilt with another quilter – we plan on both making a couple blocks a month and sharing our progress – using an old block from the 1930’s Kansas City Star collection of patterns – finding out that many blocks that some think are new are not – thanks for the give away
Anne
August 28, 2016 at 7:37 amOh my, that fabric pack looks delicious. Would it help to say I’ll be working on doing something with that particular pack? No, I didn’t think so. This fall, I’ll be working on my Stash Reduction 2016 list – there were 6 projects on there at the beginning of the year, and now there are only 2 left to go. With the end in sight, it’s nose to the grindstone!
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
The Lisa Marie
August 28, 2016 at 7:40 amI started several quilts summer. So, I plan to spend the fall finishing (at least on of) them!
Deb M
August 28, 2016 at 7:41 amI’m currently working on a large lap quilt for our son-in-law’s birthday and participating in a mystery QAL.
Sharon Hughson
August 28, 2016 at 7:42 amI love this fabric bundle! I’m still working on organizing/redesigning my quilting studio. I am sneaking UFO work in daily.
Michele
August 28, 2016 at 7:45 amThis fall, I would like to reduce my UFP/WIP stack!
Leslie K.
August 28, 2016 at 7:47 amI have really enjoyed hand applique lately….started it when I needed something to stitch during the Olympics. I am now working on several sets of autumn coasters for our two daughters and then on to some Christmas gift sewing! It sounds like you had a wonderful summer!
Teresa Stanulis
August 28, 2016 at 7:47 amI spent the last week cleaning off my large cutting table which had become the depository for all the stuff my son decided NOT to take back to college! I’m looking forward to finishing quilt that I’ve had in the works for years. Got the backing ready, the batting cut and now that I have my table back, I can pin baste it and quilt! Then I get to start something new again!
Ruby Clark
August 28, 2016 at 7:48 amLove that fabric . Thanks for everything you share . Love love your blog
Alice news
August 28, 2016 at 7:54 amStill working on Christmas projects…December will be here before we know it !! Lovely prints thanks for the chance.
Rebecca Christensen
August 28, 2016 at 7:54 amOrdered the jolly bar book when I saw it on your blog. Would love try this fabric to make one of its patterns.
Susan Ferguson
August 28, 2016 at 7:57 amThose fabrics would be perfect for a BOM I just signed up for. Please send them my way! Summer’s are great but it is good to get back into our more productive quilting season. I’m sure you will agree though that time with your children is really the most productive and rewarding work we do.
Little Quiltsong
August 28, 2016 at 7:59 amYour sewing room looks so sunny and inviting. Perfect place to sew and dream of future patterns :)! I’m sewing along with two Sew Alongs – one right now and one starting in September. Along with that I have a ‘few’ other patterns I would like to tackle. I actually love that the end is never in sight with my quilting!!
Virginia Marien
August 28, 2016 at 7:59 amLove this fabric bundle. It’s so much fun to read through the comments and see all the visions and plans for fall. so inspiring. My main focus for fall is working hard on my Christmas presents sewing. Thanks for all your inspiration.
Carla
August 28, 2016 at 7:59 amI have 3 graduation quilts to do, and a couple of wedding quilts which are becoming anniversary quilts since I didn’t get them done in time for the weddings.
Carol Skiles
August 28, 2016 at 8:00 amI would love to work with this fabric…a quilt, cute bags, love Allison Harris. I am impressed with all of your projects!!
Linda Enneking
August 28, 2016 at 8:00 amI have fabric for a Halloween throw, and yesterday I bought a kit for an autumn themed quilt. Both will have to wait until I finish my current project, a bed quilt for my granddaughter.
Connie B of AZ
August 28, 2016 at 8:02 amAfter a summer of just for fun projects I will spend a bit of time getting organized too, the catch up on some block of the months and try a pattern in my FQ Jolly Bar book
Rosemary Barron
August 28, 2016 at 8:05 amStill have a couple of WIPs to finish … Okay, MORE than a couple! Also have a box of hexies that have been partially put together (thanks for reminding me with yours … lol) somewhere that I CAN’T find. I really do not want to start over. Love the giveaway. Love what you do. Love Fat Quarters! Thanks for sharing for wonderful talent with us!!
Liz F
August 28, 2016 at 8:06 amI have 2 quilts that I’m hoping to finish before I’m tempted to start something new but I could be easily swayed with a fat quarter bundle of “Dixie”.
Angela Milazzo
August 28, 2016 at 8:07 amHi there, I’m working on a wedding quilt for my son and dil, who got married in June! Gah!
Bonney
August 28, 2016 at 8:11 amThose orange peel blocks look very tempting and great for when things get busy but you need to create something. The colors of the giveaway are so fresh and fun!
Tracey Holly
August 28, 2016 at 8:11 amDixie has all the happy colors I love. I’m someone who has to have bright colors to quilt with.
Tracey Holzer
August 28, 2016 at 8:14 amWow, that is beautiful fabric and thanks for this chance. We farm, so I won’t have much opportunity to sew for the next month or so, but I’m going to start on the Labyrinth pattern in grey and orange for my son. He’s been waiting patiently for a long, long time for a quilt!!
GG
August 28, 2016 at 8:15 amOh so good to have you show up in my mailbox this morning! Love the Dixie bundle, perfect primaries.
Diane Cunningham
August 28, 2016 at 8:17 amHave been working on quilts for my Grand children for Christmas.. The Dixie prints would be perfect for one of the girls…Love all your beautiful quilts!!!
Rebecca Seamon
August 28, 2016 at 8:17 amLove your orange peel blocks!
Becca
August 28, 2016 at 8:18 amI’m in the last weeks of being pregnant with twins, so that’s pretty much what I’m doing…every once in a while I get a few minutes where I’m feeling up to sewing (and I spend that trying to wrap up WIPs before the babies come), but mostly, I’m sitting around resting.
Lisa C
August 28, 2016 at 8:20 amYour post today was inspiring! I too need to get a little organizing done in my sewing room. Summer is coming to an end soon and school has started so I am getting excited to have the time to get some projects finished! Love the picture of your design wall! Inspired again!
Sue H
August 28, 2016 at 8:20 amPretty colors in the giveaway!
scrappymcboo
August 28, 2016 at 8:23 amLove the line of fabric! It’s been a hot summer in Northern California so I’m working on a bear paw Halloween quilt to remind myself that cooler weather is in our future!
Ann
August 28, 2016 at 8:26 amMy plan is to dig out my studio as well and finish the “waiting to be quilted” pile. Thanks for the giveaway.
Kathy E.
August 28, 2016 at 8:28 amI totally understand how the summer goes when there are kids in the house! Enjoy them while they’re young…your sewing room can wait! You certainly did get some terrific goodies in the mail! I’ll bet you were dancing. This fall I will be finishing up a CrossCut quilt for my daughter and hopefully will start a different quilt for my son…both will be Christmas gifts.
Christina M
August 28, 2016 at 8:29 amYour design wall is so inspiring! I’ve never tried orange peel blocks but may try those once my first hexie project is finished. Our kids go back to school this week and I start teaching too, so the sewing projects will be on the back burner for a while. Enjoy your newly organized space!
Jule
August 28, 2016 at 8:30 amHi, time flies by so fast at the moment. I try to catch up with so many things, don’t know if it will work.
Cynthia Brunz
August 28, 2016 at 8:30 amMy plan for fall is to focus on finishing projects. So having some beautiful fabrics as a carrot to complete them quickly is appreciated!
Nicki Bauer
August 28, 2016 at 8:30 amI’m the opposite of you and get most of my sewing done in the summer because like your kids that go back to school so do the teachers. As I get in the groove of things with my new kindergarten class, sewing will take a back burner for a few weeks, but alas I’ll find it again I know.
Annette Stewart
August 28, 2016 at 8:31 amEnjoy reading your blog. Working on carry all bags for my daughter-in-laws for Christmas.

Carol gouveia
August 28, 2016 at 8:35 amI am working on 2 quilts for my brothers who are both older and not in the best of health. I am making both of them a quilt with cowboy boots on them. I have cut all the boots and backgrounds out. Would like to appliqué rope around the outside border but not sure how to do that. Oh by the way they are both ranchers/cowboys. Would love to win your Dixie giveaway. Good to have you back quilting. Carol

August 28, 2016 at 8:40 amSchool starts Tuesday for us. I’m looking forward to getting back into a routine. My daughter starts middle school and she wants to be on the cross country team; in addition to ice skating, piano, tennis, and flute lessons! So with all that, I hope to be able to get to sew some.

August 28, 2016 at 8:42 amNow that our kids are grown, I took both of their bedrooms for my sewing. Both rooms had gradually gotten messy so I have spent the last two days straightening up and doing chores that I have been avoiding (like shortening the drapes 1-1/2 inches – yuck). I also sewed binding on a quilt that I made a mess of trying to improve my quilting. Needless to say, I’m ready for fun and I LOVE that Dixie fabric.

Janet T
August 28, 2016 at 9:03 amI would like to finish a couple UFOs that I have stacked on my sewing table. They have been there a month or two and something keeps pushing them to the bottom of the pile. There is nothing pressing right now, so I am hoping to tackle them this week, and at least put a dent in the stack!
Diane W
August 28, 2016 at 9:04 amIve got to finish one baby quilt and make 2 more. Then i can dig into all my newest pre-cuts. And organize my toy room and put up tables, etc to have ladies over for quilt night.

August 28, 2016 at 9:09 amI am new “ish” to quilting so I registered for a placemat class. It’s in Nov. I have picked out my car quarters and can’t wait. I really need to buy a new seeing machine, though. What do you recommend?
Jan Sells
August 28, 2016 at 9:10 amYour sewing corner with the design wall looks so inviting. I want to try to organize something like that. What a great bundle!
Mama O
August 28, 2016 at 9:13 amJust speed-quilted in a major marathon a quilt for each daughter to take to college. Have a couple of charity and gift quilts still to go. Ready to sneak in a little “me” sewing. That August box is to die for!

August 28, 2016 at 9:17 amHi– I would like to work on some of those (7) quilt kits that I bought, I liked them (still do) and they were a fabulous price when I purchased them .. BUt did I think they would sew themselves together?
Jude
August 28, 2016 at 9:17 amThank you for the give away! I love Dixie and I love Allison, and you! ….and your mom! I sat next to her at a class at Winter Quiltfest!
Tiffany
August 28, 2016 at 9:19 amMy twins started preschool last week. I’m really looking forward to the peace and quiet. I think I need to spend some time updating my etsy shop – my fabric budget is frighteningly low…
JUDIE HARRON
August 28, 2016 at 9:21 amI am sew far behind on my SS blocks, especially the applique and embroidery designs…stiff joints make it sew hard to accomplish. I am gradually setting aside the pieces and will forge ahead as fall brings a slower pace to everything! Love your mini quilts in your sewing studio…sew sweet! Thanks for the giveaway…keep sewing at your own pace…me too!
marriannad
August 28, 2016 at 9:21 amToday’s quilt project is quick and easy: measure the quilt top I have already sewn using Kaffe Fasset fabrics and Hofman whites. Take a photo of this quilt top. Send photo and measurements to a friend who is going to Las Vegas, NV, over the holiday weekend so she can go to a great quilt shop in Henderson and get me Kaffe backing fabric. We have one quilt shop in my small city and they do NOT carry Kaffe fabrics. And maybe I’ll win your stack of wonderful new fabrics. They look delicious. Thanks for the opportunity.
Sincerely,
Marrianna

Colleen
August 28, 2016 at 9:41 amI am making suitcases from a free pattern on the Internet for my 5 grandchild 4 girls and 1 boy and I am planing on making (I’ve made one) some sew together bags and a bionic gear bag and a simple quilt as you go hexagon Halloween quilt with the 15 year old granddaughter.
I’d really be able to use this group of fabrics to make more things for those darling children 15-4 years old

Linda Cejnar
August 28, 2016 at 9:47 amI’m going to be continuing on my UFOs. I’m currently finishing putting a ruffle binding on a quilt – I doubt if I ever make another quilt with a ruffle binding, and when that is done it is on to the next UFO. Thanks to FQS for providing the fabric for the giveaway. The colors are lovely.
Lois Depp

Brenda Sanderson
August 28, 2016 at 9:52 amI’m working on school projects the first part of Fall as my class is rather large this year. Then I can start sewing for Christmas gifts. It sounds like we will have a long winter with lots of snow. Great as I will have lots of time to see.
Ann D
August 28, 2016 at 9:53 am“Happy” is what comes to mind in seeing those fabrics. Thanks for the chance to win them.
As for projects, I have a quilt top which needs to be sandwiched and quilted. And then, since September 1st is this Thursday, I’ll find out what random number is picked in the allpeoplequilt’s UFO challenge. It’s been fun setting up my list of 12 UFOs and then working on them throughout the year. Having a month to complete a project is generally enough time and when that’s done. I don’t feel guilty about working on something new.

August 28, 2016 at 9:59 amHI Amy – sounds like you had a nice summer. I am done with my summer sewing projects and starting to think about the upcoming holidays and just what I want to sew. The wonderful thing is I always have an abundance of ideas but never enough time to sew them all. Enjoy!!

Naming it the Summerhouse Quilt as she loves to spend time sitting, reading and looking at her beautiful garden in England from her tiny summerhouse 🙂 Thrilled to be entering a drawing – thank you and Happy Quilting!
Diane Carlson
August 28, 2016 at 10:38 amLove the Dixie and also love the glimpse of you sewing room. I have been stressing over how to set up my space. After seeing yours I realize it doesn’t have to be complicated in order to be organized. I think I’ll start by just getting rid of one of the twin beds in the room. I already have a design wall in there but now sew and cut at the dining room table. So can’t close a door on works in progress.
Barbara

August 28, 2016 at 12:09 pmI am a beginning quilter and am attempting to hand quilt a quilt-top made by my grandmother and never finished. I purchased traditional fabric for the backing and I have been working on it for several months. I would like to move on to machine quilting when I finish this but since the top was made by hand I wanted to maintain the integrity of the quilt.
Edith Gorzo
August 28, 2016 at 12:17 pmI am working on catching up on a few BOM’s that I am following. I also am going to try and quilt a project or two that have been waiting for “their” time. Just like wine, they aren’t ready before their time. Lol

August 28, 2016 at 3:28 pmI enjoy reading your posts, even though I am definitely a primitive, beginning quilter. I have only made a rag quilt for myself and a rag purse and matching doll purse for a grand daughter. I find fabric to be very soothing and definitely fun to match colors and designs. Thank you for the chance to win this lovely bundle of fabric. Someone is going to enjoy a very special treat!

August 28, 2016 at 4:49 pmFirst off, can I just say that I might need to start a red, white, and blue orange peel quilt. Yours is AMAZING! All of my kids, including my baby are in school this year…:( I am hoping to finish my Round and Round {Camille Roskelley} and then get started on a yet to be determined project. Other than I just ordered valley pretty cuts to make your quilt from Craftsy. I have LOVED the color combination since I saw it, but couldn’t decide what pattern to use. Your quilt spoke to me. I also have bought fabric to make your Missouri Quilt Company remake quilt. Here’s to many projects getting finished this year.

August 28, 2016 at 6:31 pmSummer seems to have slipped by rather quickly. I know when the temperatures soared over 100 degrees I was probably secretly wishing for Summer to pass by, but not really. Not that it is all but gone, it seems such a sad time, not really. But bright colored fabrics can brighten up any day.

August 28, 2016 at 10:12 pmLove your orange peel quilt. I haven’t yet made that block so I’ll have to add that to my “one day” list, hehe. I was 16 yr on the Bicenenial, 1976, and I crocheted a red, white and blue blanket, which I still have! Loved seeing the one your family used. Like you I have lots of UFOs as well. I’m working on several hand projects, a hexie quilt, Hawaiian applique and the embroidery and piecing quilt Sundresses. Of course I’d love to win this beautiful bundle, for one of my “one day” quilts ;-D

August 29, 2016 at 10:35 amI truly enjoy seeing all of your projects. They are very inspiring. This fall my sister and I are making a sampler quilt for our cousin. It will be so much fun because even though we’ve chosen a colour scheme, neither of us knows what blocks the other will be making. The finished product will not only be a surprise for our cousin but for us as well!

August 29, 2016 at 10:35 amLove your orange peels! That’s my next summer’s quilt. LOL For Fall I’m making the tree quilt from V & Co.’s Green book for a family that has done so much to bless me and my family this past year. I’m hoping to get it done by Thanksgiving so they can enjoy it through the holidays.

August 29, 2016 at 11:18 amLike you, my sewing slowed way down over the summer months. Once I get my canning done, I have many wips to finish up – from baby quilts to bags, and then to start new projects with new fabric I uh, ‘acquired’ over the summer. Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful bundle.
