Aliens are invading the planet! But not to worry, they come in peace.
(They look pretty likable too!)

Welcome to Music Class
I must confess that even though I didn’t teach music for several years, I was still collecting music themed fabric. Most of the time I didn’t know what I would ever do with it. But this was a no brainer.
You know this HAD to go into a quilt.
I just love this print and was so pleased to finally use it.
The kids will need a special quilt to great them the 1st day of school.
The final quilt, that will fit nicely on my classroom door, will greet students through the end of Sept. The red apple fabric for the border was a must. These seasonal quilts are very fun!

June Pumpkin
So why am I quilting pumpkins in June? Well, this block design has been going around in my head for weeks. I love the Fall colors and pumpkins. And since our guild bi-annual quilt show is this October, I thought a pumpkin quilt would be just the thing. So I thought I would start by making one block and see how it goes.
The pumpkin itself is pieced from strips to make it scrappy. I created the stem and the black “border” (really a block within a block) with improvisational piecing to give it a wonky look. I used machine applique (with a wide satin stitch) for the leaf and vine. I also had some fun with the machine quilting.
This small wall hanging will go in the silent auction at the show. I’m hoping to make the quilt about twin sized. I have a few other quilts I have designed (in my head) that I would like to make as well. I’m not a very fast piecer, so we’ll see what happens. I’ll post my progress and maybe that will keep me on track as the summer progresses.
