With only hours left to link up with the Quilty Orphan Adoption event at Quilting is More Fun Than Housework,
I have selected my Sew Kitschy blocks this time around!
I think the radio would make a great tote bag!
There are six completed blocks, patterns, and some fabric scraps to help
tie things together if you want to make the three remaining blocks.This is so free-ing!
I hopped on the Sew Kitschy Quilt Along in 2013, to gain some paper-piecing skills. Kristy, at Quiet Play, has wonderful patterns and her QAL's are irresistible! My grandfather's cabin in Canada remained in my mind as I selected fabrics for these blocks. The oranges and greens were all about the kitchen. Well, it was all-about many homes back in the 70's, but the cabin was my inspiration. We had a set of these I recall..
Some of the fabrics are from my vintage stash and very lightweight. Fine for a wallhanging I think, but so you are aware. I am keeping my top-fave block to make something for my own kitchen,
The mixer pattern is included though, as for the two blocks I did not finish. I altered the teapot pattern in an attempt to create Grandpa's percolator, but regret that the top is not darker. So, most of the patterns are included and a few bits of fabric, including a half a yard or so of the Mumm teapot fabric I was planning to use with the backing.
Random Drawing will be in one week, Sunday morning, Sept 25th, to select the recipient. I have NO rules or preference regarding what you plan to do with the blocks, but you must provide a US address for free shipping! Just leave a comment on this post to let me know you would like to be included in the drawing!
This is such a great event, Thank you Cynthia! Check out all the giveaways HERE!
Remember the little baby kit I Orphaned last time? In July, I received a note from Diane, with this photo of the quilt she and her guild finished for charity!
Cute! They changed it up with a windmill pattern. This event is a triple-win!
These are such fun blocks, I'd love to finish them up! 😊
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in the event! I still haven't sewn up my sew kitschy blocks either. Someone is going to adopt some great blocks! (And you don't have to finish up that block nine which took me days to finish!)
ReplyDeleteI've seen these patterns before and always wanted to try them! Thanks for offering them! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love those fabrics!
ReplyDeleteWould love to finish this up for you! Thanks for offering it! vickise at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI would love these - they would make a great wallhanging for our lake house!
ReplyDeleteLove these; I am looking for a fun wallhanging for my kitchen....you are inspiring me to get it started! maryc76904 at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeletethese are fabulous!! normally I would say I would use them to make a charity quilt but I think I'd have to make something for myself! fabulous! thank you for offering them up!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun . . . count me in! (lynnstck[at]yahoo.com)
ReplyDeleteMy Mum had that mixer. It reminds me so much of her. I just have to make it and put it in a family quilt. Thanks for your thoughtfulness.
ReplyDeletethe blocks are wonderful - count me in
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks. Your fabric choices definitely give it that 50s feel.

I love cooking... please include me in the drawing.
ReplyDeleteOh your blocks are wonderful! I'd love to win.
ReplyDeleteWow Heidi - I can't believe you are going to give these away. The blocks are so cool! I love the colors you used too - very retro. Just wanted to say that, but am not in for the giveaway. Too many of my own things to work on. :)
ReplyDeleteThis really is a triple win event.
Oh, these blocks are just great. I am looking for projects that I can finish and donate to my quilting group's fundraiser for a better more durable longarm quilting machine. This would be perfect. Sometimes it's easier to finish someone else's work than start a new project. Thanks.
