June sewing with Sandy and some winners!

 

Things are heating up here.  It’s supposed to be in the 100’s the next few days.   Ugh is all I have to say about that!  (At least it’s a “dry” heat)  LOL

 

I picked the projects for June and here they are…

 

As always, Sandy’s are first and mine are second.  (I guess that’s obvious since there are only two of us).  Geesh, the heat is already getting to me.   Tee Hee.

 

First up is the continuing series of “Basin Banners Thru the Year” by Buttermilk Basin.  This one is for August.

This tiny quilt is from Red Button Quilt Co and it’s called “Little Red Six”.   It measures 12” x 14”.   Sandy used buttons on the borders.

I made tiny little yo yos.

This little snowman quilt is from Quilts by Cheri.  It’s called “Snowman Quilt”.   I think it’s one of my favorites that we’ve made.

This one is in the Summer 2014 issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects.   It’s by Plays with Wool and is called “Berry Time”.

Sandy made her frame.  Quite the talented gal!

I decided to make mine into a pillow.   (I’m running out of wall space)!

And finally, another little quilt from 101 Fabulous Small Quilts.   This one is called “Civil War Baskets”.  Actually, this one is a carry over from last month so Sandy chose it.

Buttermilk Basin and a giveaway

It’s always fun going to Quilt Market and seeing friends I’ve made throughout the years.  One of those special people is Stacy West of Buttermilk Basin.   She always has fabulous new designs and there’s never a dull moment around her! 
She very generously donated some patterns for me to giveaway to YOU!    But, you’ll have to wait till the end for the “rules”.
Here are some of her new designs.  Her booth was huge and very overwhelming.  I hope I captured the feeling of it for you.
