Happy 4th of July!

 For all my U.S. blogging friends Happy 4th of July!  

Here is how I decorated my entry way seasonal corner this year. 

The wall quilt is made using Accuquilt's Carpenter Wheel die, 1.5" strip cutter and 2.25" strip cutter(binding).  And their star die for the applique. This was the first one I did for a tutorial on their blog. Since then I have made a few more...

As you can see I replaced the blue stripe with a red gingham. The background was changed also.

On the following one the background was changed yet again.

Are you off to see fireworks on Tuesday night?  We have the two grandsons for the day and for a sleepover, we'll take them to the fireworks. It will be fun but I know I will be tired on Wednesday!

Happy 4th of July

Back in May I won these fabrics from Beth at Cookin up Quilts during her Blogaversary. Beth provided a cute little patriotic mini quilt tutorial on her blog to use the fabrics with.

 I borrowed Beth's picture from her blog as I forgot to take a pic before cutting it up!! Beth I hope you are OK with that!

 When it arrived I knew just where I would put it -on my red front door!! It makes us look so patriotic doesn't it!  I love it Beth, thank you so much!!

A little close up

And a little closer for the quilting;-)  In Beth's tutorial she appliqued WELCOME on it, I ran out of time so I skipped that part.

Happy 4th of July to all my blog friends old or new!!

Going Patriotic

 This is a little quilt using the Little Twister template. She has you cutting lots of sqs. of the same color and sewing them back together so you get a stripe fabric before using the Lil Twister tool to cut them out. Well I thought why do all that piecing, so I just cut strips, sewed them together and cut. It is worked great and there are less bulky seams to deal with. I pieced it back in March and a few weeks ago I thought I better get it quilted so it can adorn my wall for the 4th of July!

Not patriotic by these beauties are blooming in our yard right now. They look so soft and silky and just a beautiful peach color that I had to share with all of you!

My wish for everyone is to have a safe and Happy 4th of July!!
