| 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!
