| Sunshine Boy made a flag and fireworks from blocks- he said to imagine the yellow was white! |
Welcome fellow blog hoppers! Thanks for hopping by! I am sew excited to be a part of this hop! I had hoped to have more blocks to show you but I got a new job and the all the summertime busyness happened at once! We just finished a Old Fashioned Tent Revival at my brother in law's church and then we started Olympic Bible School at ours! all during the last two weeks! Whew! I am tired!(pictures will be posted of both events in the following days) Thankfully things are settling down to a dull roar and maybe I can get some sewing done- poor Sherman thinks he has been abandoned! ( if you are new here: Sherman is my sewing machine.) Anyhoozers, I am off on rabbit trails when what you came for is Red White and Blues!
I couldn't leave it unfinished since I made it for a silent auction,so I turned it into a table topper. I played around and FMQed some stars in red- those were sew much FUN!
 |
| I used PicMonkey to make the quilting stand out. I LOVE that site! |
I am teaching MySweetMommie to quilt and once I showed her my spinning star she had to make one and then two and three and she hasn't stopped yet!
I also made this little patriotic Heart - I was inspired by a table topper in the last hop that someone Mrs. Pickles had made for Valentines day. ( Thank YOU Mrs. Pickles!) I had a bunch of (and still have a bunch more) little patriotic squares so played until it worked! Can you see lady liberty in the red square? I love that fabric! My piecing needs work- I must have sewn and ripped the second to last row 12 times or more.... and it's still not right! I found the background at my LQS and just found triangles in their scrap basket! You can stuff a bag for $5! I got some red too! It is amazing how much fabric I can stuff in a baggie!
GiveAway!!! I have a charm pack and some Christmas 4 inch squares to giveaway!  |
| I also have some 6inch ? and some 2.5 inch to go with these! |
I don't know about you, but I have had a tremendous time hopping along with Red White and Blue! Thank you Madame Samm and Jane for throwing this PARTY! I am excited for the upcoming hops Think Christmas (my day is the 31st) and Bowls with Borders!
Have fun hopping at these other amazing places!
July 13th
I got my other block done! I used this fabric to make a flag wall hanging in a class many moons ago and really wanted to use it for the hop!
and since this hop is for "unfinished" blocks I will show you
the Aunt Sukey's Choice. Or
what will be Aunt Sukey's Choice! I
have all the squares marked to be made into 8 HSTs but that is as far as I got. It is definitely a 12.5 inch unfinished block!

First time to your blog! Aren't these blog hops great?! Love your little heart block.
Absolutely beautiful blocks. I am inspired. The heart is so cute. I enjoyed my visit and became a Follower just now. Love this Hop!

Dear Bobbie & Sherman,
The spinning star with star fabric then quilting stars is stunning & a great table topper. Hearts come in all shapes & sizes its whats inside that counts & also written on the block.

Good Morning Bobbie...oh wow, your heart and colours and fabric choices amazing...sew glad you play along with us...
I have also been enjoying the RWB blog hop and have seen so many great blocks. And now I've found your blog, which I hadn't seen before! The text fabric on your heart block is perfect -- don't you just love it when you find something like that?
Love your first block, and then fell in love with your little heart! Both are wonderful!
Good morning and Happy Friday! :D

Great job. Miss Bobbie Bobbalou. I love how your mind works. Yes teaching your mom another block with lots of photos with step by steps. It is from your one class with Kimberly Einmo. Blocks finish at 19 inches so it is right up our alley. It is great to see all the positive feedback that you get. Love you Bobbie from Ca. Mom.

hi from eastern north carolina. love your block!
Love your stars! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the giveaway!
Hi enjoyed your blot. You did great been so busy. Thanks
I just started following you. I love the blog hops because I can find all sorts of new bloggers and learn so many new things. I just bought the exact same fabric yesterday that you show in your last block, how funny is that? I'm going to use it to make a Quilt of Valor quilt. Thanks for the giveaway, not that I need more fabric, what I really need is more time in the day to sew :) Sounds like you could use more time too!
Thanks for sharing your blocks. My favorite is the one with the heart that background fabric is perfect.
Hi: I enjoyed my visit to your blog and am a new follower. Love the teacups. I have a couple of those my grandmother left me. I've been meaning to find out more about them. Please stop by and visit me, too, and follow, when you have time. Thanks for letting us come by. I'm hopping like crazy today, having been off yesterday.
hope I win
