Hello Quiltvillians!
I am so happy to be sitting here at my desk connecting with you after having 6 family members - my mom, her two sisters her brother and two of their spouses spend a week with us here in Virginia.
We housed the whole gang at Quiltville Inn and have had the BEST week.
My days were full from breakfast to bedtime and there really wasn't time to blog. I'd wake up excited to head over each morning and crawl into bed after arriving home each night - and the days passed so quickly.
Aunt Gail and Uncle Tony headed back to Florida after breakfast yesterday. Today I return the rest to the airport in Charlotte. Things will be quiet for just a blink - The gals from Susan's Retreat arrive Wednesday afternoon. Whew!
I will cat4ch you up with what we've done over the past week in the next couple of posts, but I wanted to get this out here because September is flying by at rapid speed.
I've given you a few teasers on this quilt - you've watched me work on Ditch Lilies as it came to be, and even helped me decide on the name (Which I love!) and now it is available in PDF pattern form for you to make too.
If you love bear paw units, blocks that chain, and log cabin blocks - this is the quilt for you!
I used one constant Juniper Green tone on tone fabric for the green in Ditch Lilies but you could use as many as you want. My oranges go from a yellow squash orange all the way to deep burnt pumpkin.
Isn't this just perfect for fall?
We noticed so many trees starting to turn this week as we made our way from place to place. Whether we want it or not, fall is happening
And all of those neutrals from your Scrap User's System - your strip stash, your fat quarters and yardage - look how they sparkle!
Such a great way to enhance your own stash of yummy oranges!
We will draw for our 2 winners on Friday, 9/30/22!
You might notice I'm using a new form - my usual form is not working this morning, so we'll try this with Google Docs.
Your answers are only visible to ME, and I never give out your info to anyone. It's just used for notifying winners that they have won!
As always, if our winners are outside of the USA, we can ship the fabric prizes to a friend within the USA who can then forward them on to you.
Here are just a couple of photos of our family togetherness - We've done a few short walks, enjoying the beautiful September weather.
Puzzle time!
There have been a couple of puzzles ongoing - both were finished as of yesterday morning. What a fun way to relax and chat and unwind. Such great memories!
Okay - it's off for breakfast at the inn, gather everything up and get on that journey to Charlotte.
Be looking for my next post at the regular time tomorrow morning -
Quiltville Quote of the Day -
Keep your eye on the roses and not upon the thorns!
Twirl Around quilt from my book Addicted to Scraps on deep discount in the Quiltville Store.
The past week has been full of nothing but roses, and I think I could nap for a week!
Have a wonderful Monday -

ReplyDeleteSEW Glad you had a great Week. I missed you, but understand totally! Thanks for another fun pattern, Hope to Win this time. I like the new Form! Change is good, right. Fall is coming, I see trees turning here in the PNW too. Going to see some colors in Sothern Utah later.
ReplyDeleteThis submission form is cool as it doesn't take you out of the article and you return to find yourself at the beginning again....
ReplyDeleteI make Daylily Syrup every year, and only with the old fashioned (ditch lily) type.
ReplyDeleteIt is delicious. Going to make this quilt for sure!
Ditch lilies quilt is gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteLove Ditch Lilies and the much easier submission form.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance at one of your beautiful quilts, and the new form is great. Your time with family is always going to be a happy memory !!
ReplyDeleteI love the Ditch Lilies pattern. The pattern name reminds me of the wild lilies that I would see as a child. Anything with flowers and I am all in.
