Well, it’s March—that means it’s springtime, right?? Not around here just yet, since it’s all of 8 degrees today. And it’s been a rough couple of weeks at my house. We had to say goodbye to my 16-year

The June block is now available! I told you it would be sweet. This block brings me back to my childhood. For many years, I would spend a few weeks during the summer with my grandparents in Arkansas. One of my favorite memories was their garden. They had the biggest personal garden I have ever seen. They had rows and rows of yummy produce. I enjoyed running up and down them and nibbling on a few of my favorite pieces. No ripe tomato was safe from me–I would eat them like they were an apple. I’ll
The May block is now available. I told you it would be blooming with cuteness. I'm combining two of my favorite things here, sewing and flowers. April showers bring May flowers! Have you ever heard of that saying? I'm sure you have. I knew May would be the perfect month to include flowers in our Year of Spools series. I just love how the spools create flower pots for the blooming flowers. I will film the Sew Bloomy tutorial in the next few days and get the tutorial out as soon as I can. This one

We at the LAMQG decided to do a block of the month series for 2015 and I took the reigns on the very first block. I call it... ...the JANUARY Block! Ooh, ahhh, I know you're blown away by my naming creativity right now. This block is made using templates and for all of you who are curve-phobic, I can assure you, it's much easier than it looks. These curves are all nice and gentle which makes them easy to put together. You can do it! The patterns for these blocks will be sent to members of the LAMQG in our monthly newsletter but I've got good news for all of you non-members! My block pattern will be for sale in my shop for anyone else who wants it! Even better news, since the pattern is just for a block and doesn't include instructions for a finished quilt it's available for half the price of my regular patterns! If you're interested, head on over to the Lady Harvatine Shop! If you want to keep an eye out for cuter BOM patterns, follow @lamqg on Instagram. I don't know if all of the blocks will be available to non-members, that will be left up to each designer, but they will make for some great eye candy either way!

FMQ is now complete on my two June Skill Builder BOM blocks. And here are the 2 latest blocks, which means I'm totally up-to-date and waiting, yes, actually waiting, for Alyssa @Pile O'Fabric to post the instructions for the July blocks!!!: SHATTERED CHEVRONS BLOCK Chain piecing HSTs I'm about to trim my 2" HSTs only to discover my smallest Bloc-Loc is 2.5" :( - if you don't know what a Bloc-Loc is, check out my Bloc-Loc tute here. 64 trimmed HSTs and here's the made-up block I wanted to fmq the block really simply and appreciated that when Alyssa sent out the fmq suggested instructions, she felt exactly the same way. I just did my usual vermicelli/stipple fmq stitch over the grey background fabric and left the coloured areas alone. It was quite difficult to fmq this block - there are so many layers of fabric at each point that it was tricky to smoothly sew right through them all. And take a look at the back. Kaffe Fassett - Lake Blossoms BROKEN ARROW BLOCK 10 x 1.5" wide strips of foundation paper piecing The finished block ready to fmq And here it is fmq'd - again, kept it simple, just vermicelli/stippling on the background grey. and a closer look at the back Kaffe Fassett - Paisley Jungle Do you know I think these two blocks are my absolute favourites? They were quite time-consuming, but there was nothing difficult or brain-aching about them, and the finished result is so pleasing - it would make great cushions covers. And here's my progress so far - firstly laid out as the blocks will be in the final quilt: secondly, with each row laid out next to each other to make a better photo: and thirdly - how the back's looking, and it has to be said it's pretty scrummy to my way of thinking! Oh, and before I forget, I don't know if any of you would even have noticed a change, but way back in April, I created a February block (yes, up until now, I've been way behind every month on this BOM!) called The Mood, here it is: After I created this block, I decided that the whole quilt needed some sort of commonality to pull the whole thing together, so I've always quilted the grey background fabric with a vermicelli/stippling stitch. You might notice two sections of this block made from the background grey, yet I'd already done straight line quilting in a triangular spiral on each. In reply to Sonia @Fabric & Flowers' comment, I did say that I really wanted to redo these two quilting sections but that I'd hold fire until I was further on with the quilt to make my mind up for sure. Well, this month, the time had come - when I laid all the blocks out together, these two sections were screaming at me so loudly that I couldn't bear it a moment longer and ripped them out and fmq'd right over them. Here's how they look now - you can still see the original stitch lines slightly, but it's nothing that won't disappear when the quilt's finally washed. I feel sooooo much better now - the vermicelli/stippling has knocked those two grey sections right back, and the whole quilt looks a million times better, amazing how your eye can pick up on something and know it's not right even if you don't always know quite what it is. Next Time: For July, I have absolutely no idea what we'll be making and for now, I'm just thrilled to be completely up-to-date, which has to be a first since this Skill Builder BOM began back in January!!!

Hello to everyone! Sorry I haven't been giving the blog any attention since I posted the BOM's but I received news about my father ...
Announcing BOM 2014 @Quilt Art Designs Here’s how it’s going to work. On the first of each month (starting January 1st, 2014), I will post here on my blog about one of the patterns, and list the pattern as a freebie in my Craftsy Shop. It will be free for the duration of the month – after which it’ll have to earn its keep and will be available for a small fee. Then the next one will be available as a freebie! We will work through the patterns going from the easiest and working up to the hardest towards the end of the year. Hopefully that will help those who are new to paper piecing to get the hang of it and gain their confidence to tackle some of the tougher blocks later! Nothing imposible though! - Don't get scared on me now! Here are a few blocks that I have in mind for the garden. Tulips, a fish-bowl and a humming bird. You can also add your finished blocks to the QADesigns Flickr Group as another way to share what you’ve been making! (That goes for any blocks made with QADesigns patterns for that matter... ) That will take us through to October. The months February and August will have 2 blocks and then we will be finishing up the blocks and making them into projects ready to share for a big Show and Tell at the end of November! The Theme of our BOM Quilt will be "In the Garden" and will feature 12 cute furry animals, flowers, birds, etc. Anything that could be hiding around or under some leafy patch in the garden. I even found a layout that I like where all 12 blocks will sit quite comfortably. The blocks will each measure 12" (30cm) and will be from easy to intermediate level. Each block will be shown in photo tutorial each month - how I put them together and everything you will need to follow along. Finished quilt will measure approx. 60" (150cm). The colour scheme will be anything 'earthy and bright' and if you think of your garden in spring and summer and the colours you see then, that should be a good guide. You can of course use any colours you like.The layout that I've chosen has strips of green that represent the lawn areas of the garden. So now you can start thinking about fabric choices! Now I know the big question is always… how much fabric?! This is always the toughest question as people use different amounts of fabric. I tend to use scraps where I can, or large chunks of fabric (I don’t cut mine to size). Roughly though, a fat quarter of background fabric will be more than sufficient for each block (with leftover scraps for more paper piecing!). Hopefully that’s a helpful starting point at least! I hope you’re as excited about it as I am! Please let me know any questions that you might have! And please feel free to tell your friends, grab a button and pop it on your blog, or pin photos of the BoM blocks to the Flickr group. I would love if you could help me spread the word! I'm looking forward to sewing along with you next year!
