Botanical Beauty QAL: IT'S HERE:) from Nestlings By Robin

I am giddy with excitement!!

As I said before, this is one

of the grandest things I have ever done!

After many hours of work

I am THRILLED to bring my,

Botanical Beauty: Sestercentennial Sampler

quilt pattern to you!

Lots of information in this post

so please read to the end.

I am very proud of my

family's military service

and of all the military members

and their families

that sacrifice much

more than most will ever know.

In honor of those who sacrifice,

I will be highlighting some

not-so-well-known heroes of

the Revolutionary War each month

Botanical Beauty QAL: Fabric and Supplies from Nestlings By Robin

We are 1 day away from starting

the Botanical Beauty QAL and I

don't even have time for ironing-LOL!

If you are new to the conversation,

go read the introduction HERE...

we will wait:)

Fabrics:

As you can see in the photo above, there

are more than just 1 red, white, or blue.

I didn't quite go scrappy nor did I

stick to my usual organized, cohesive look.

I decided to mix it up a bit this time.

The pattern will have overall yardage (ex. Red- #yards)

and if you choose to go a bit scrappier, just

Botanical Beauty QAL: Introduction from Nestlings By Robin

BOTANICAL BEAUTY:

This design is a culmination of many

of my designs over the years

(some published, some not).

The 250th birthday felt like the

right time to be 'GRAND'.

This is the biggest, most grand

design I have ever attempted and

I am grateful that you are here

for the journey!

I hope that those of you new to applique'

will give it a try. There are many methods

out there and we will discuss

many of them over the next year.

As some of you may know,
I come from a military family.
After joining the Coast Guard ...

Stars of Peace QAL: Introduction from Nestlings By Robin

As some of you may know,
I come from a military family.

After joining the Coast Guard myself,

I met and married my husband then

followed him in his 30 years of service.

We were fortunate to be able to see

a great deal of the country through

our moves, learning the history and culture

of many regions.

It was an honor to be a part of the

Coast Guard and its missions.

As a quilter, I am involved with the

Quilts of Valor Foundation.

The foundation's mission is an

important message to those that

serve our country, you ...

Progress Report from Moda Lissa

Progress Report

I thought I was the kind of quilter that started a project, finished it and moved on. The majority of the time I am making a project that has a deadline for a trade show, book, blog post for work and more.

Recently, I happen to look up at my design wall and realized I have quite a few things going on. Time to start my progress reports again to keep me in line.

Benartex 4th Quarter Fun from Nestlings By Robin

Welcome back for some Benartex fun!

For my 4th quarter project, I have

been playing with the American Spirit

line by Cheryl Haynes of Prairie Grove Peddler.

These were the fabrics I chose

to work with for this project

but there are many others

to choose from.

If you saw my Ohio remix

in the Fat Quarterly in October,

then you may know where this

is going:)

I took that block along with

another arrangement and

combined them with a

sweet and simple border applique'.

In January this new design,

'In Gratitude', will be available

for purchase through my ETSY ...

Opening the Mystery Boxes from Podunk Pretties

Hey Quilty Friends! Today we're finally going to dig into those mystery boxes. I thought one of them held my very small stash of Home Dec fabric but I was wrong.

So let's start with the one on the bottom first. It's hiding something super cute.

As soon as I opened it I remembered it and wanted to start working on it again.

I designed this one a few years ago.

I'm pretty sure everything I need to finish the quilt top is in the box. Let's find out!

The test block is the only ...

Monday Making from Love Laugh Quilt

I have always wanted a patriotic quilt.

This is the next best thing.

A little quilty banner to hang by the front door.

:)

I decided this was good idea on July 3.

It was finished on July 4.

No time like the PRESENT....right?

I used lots of little leftovers

And had so much fun moving them

This way and THAT!

Then I decided to make a quilt flag for one of my boys.

He recently moved out....

And I thought he’d like a little something HOMEY to hang up.

He did!!!

Woo hoo!!!

The flag part is a ...

stars and stripes quilt finish from Making A Lather

We had a small quilt store in our town a few years ago. It wasn't far from my house. I spent too much time visiting the store and the sisters that owned it. I took classes and participated in block of the months. It was sad to see them close. One of the block of the months they offered, was a patriotic quilt. There is something magical about red, white, and blue quilts.
I am thinking this was 2013. The blocks were one a month, and, then, the setting was after the blocks were done. It was my one ...

~ Customer Quilt ~ Patriotic Picnic ~ from Podunk Pretties

Today I wanted to share with you a quilt made with my pattern Patriotic Picnic. The quilt maker is Sio Hoon Teo from Singapore.

Below is her amazing quilt story.

To be honest when I was scrolling through Facebook and saw the quilt I thought it was mine and someone had reposted my finished quilt.

The quilting is stunning!

Sio put so much work into her quilt to be donated to charity. Quilters really are some of the most generous and kind people.

Thank you Sio for your hard work and giving spirit. It made my day to see one ...
