Any questions you have about cutting fabric with the Cricut Maker?
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and thoughts are all genuinely mine.
How about adding a bit of sparkle to your I-Spy Quilt? You can do it easily with a Cricut Cutting Machine and some Cricut Sparkle Iron On.
Let’s start out with 5 inch squares of novelty fabrics that you would like to showcase. I’ve accented each block with a 2.5 inch strip of Riley Blake Solids red, yellow and blue.
Then open on your computer Cricut Design Space. I’ve used a basic Cricut Sans Font in lower case to spell out I-Spy words to find.
Don’t forget to reverse your letters to print on iron on and selection glitter iron on to cut.
Below is a video step by step creating this quilt with Cricut Red Sparkle Iron On.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/jZP9L7r4NcI” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
Remember the basic block construction for this quilt block is a 5 inch novelty square with a red 2.5 x 5 inch strip, pressed and then a 2.5 x 7 inch yellow or blue strip added to square it up.
Please tag me in a photo if you try this technique. Ask any questions that you may have below. I will have a download of the quilt pattern available.
I-Spy 5 inch charm packs are available at Stitches Quilting in the bundle of 20 squares. You can purchase multiple bundles with unique squares while selected if you want it gender themed or neutral. I have LOVED making I-Spy quilts through the years for my kiddos! I think this quilt is spectacular with added glitter lettering!

I’m excited to be part of the Stitching Stars Bloom Blog Hop…. There are some great Quilters blogging about “Bloom”
Floral fabrics are just exquisite and fun to collect! It makes me think of the beautiful days out in the sun! Floral Blooming Quilts are spectacular to snuggle up in on a Spring day!
How do we use the floral fabrics that we have?
Here is a simple fun idea to create a floral quilt by piecing squares together! We don’t need to make life difficult to cut into and enjoy our floral fabrics!
Now look at this gorgeous collection of Joel Dewberry Cali Mod Fat Quarter Bundle with Free Spirit Designs! Don’t you want to make a quilt to wrap up in while enjoying this stream! I do… So let’s get an idea for how to use this collection.
Here is this beautiful floral fabric collection fanned out for you so you can see the actual designs. How shall we use these fabrics to celebrate the Cali Mod Florals and coordinating prints. Well the first quilt was an orange peel method, and second quilt florals cut up into squares. How about using triangles?
Here are the Joel Dewberry’s fabrics cut up into triangles, sashed with white fabric! Doesn’t it make the fabric POP? By using an equilateral triangle to cut up the fabric you really see this fabric celebrated! A fat quarter bundle of Joel Dewberry’s Cali Mod fabric is available on sale for $49.95 but take an additional 30% off this bundle with the coupon code “springfling” in your shopping cart to get the 24 piece Fat Quarter Bundle for only $34.99!
There are so many ways to use floral prints and bloom into the season! What ideas do you have for blooming quilts?
On this Bloom Blog Hop we are also giving a business tip for your Quilting or Sewing Online Business. My tip is to learn everything that you can about social media to push the beautiful things that you make for the world to see. I created a Facebook Group called Stitch Smarter to grow our Stitch related businesses SMARTER! It’s a free group to join so click the link to Facebook and join us on our creative journey! Last week we learned how to utilize Facebook with our Business Pages and this week we are learning Instagram business use. It’s a collaborative group with live videos to watch, assignments and more! Let’s bloom and grow our businesses together!
Now remember the entire inventory of fabric, patterns, notions, book at Stitches Quilting is 30% off your shopping cart by using the coupon code “springfling”! It’s time for a Spring fabric haul! A lot of the fabric is already deeply discounted getting you a discount of up to 60% off.
There are so many lovely quilters sharing their quilting bloom ideas! Be sure to visit each person on the blog hop as outlined below!
How about a simple DIY Planner Bookmark Paperclip embellished with your favorite fabric!
Here I selected Amy Sinibaldi Playground Art Gallery fabric to embellish the Paperclip Bookmark for the Quilters Planner.
Pick up an extra large paper clip from your local office supply or craft store. I selected two sets of three fabrics each from Amy Sinibaldi Playround Art Gallery Fabric Collection so I could have two different identifying bookmarks for my Quilter’s Planner.
Cut two strips of each fabric that was 1/3 inch by 18 inches. I thought it was a lovely organic touch to cut the fabric strips with scizzors instead of a rotorary cutter. Divid the 18 inch strip into segments of fourths as shown below.
Now you have 8 pieces of three different kind of fabrics. The pieces measure 1/4 inch by 4.5 inches.
Tie each piece of fabric to the top of the paperclip alternating the colors.
This way you will be able to differentiate which bookmark is indicating a particular section. Now remember this can be used for any planner or book. This is such a simple project to celebrate your fabric collection of fabrics!
XOXO,
It’s time for the Eerie Nights Blog HOP!!!!
Halloween is the favorite holiday of my 20 year old son, Luke. I have collected Halloween and Fall décor for years. In fact, last year, there were so many bins that I donated a huge bin to his school. I wanted to share with all of you some of our Halloween staples that have become part of our family tradition to pull out and arrange.
I also wanted to share with you some amazing playful outdoor home décor that I see around our neighborhood!
I love fabric and here is a playfully bright quilt that I made with fabrics collected through the years. I just love my antique cloths pins that this quilt is hung on. Can you see the pumpkins that I long arm quilted into the layers!
I enjoy sewing Halloween Trick or Treat Bags for my kids and have lots of extras for their friends too! All of the trick or treat bags are interchangeable and were sometimes made to coordinate with their costume. I had lots of fun taking these photographs!
I
Setting up tables with Halloween settings that include bright Halloween fabric table runners. This table runner was so simple to make with basic squares and actually has no batting in it so it is sewn like pillow case and then turned inside and out.
This is our dining table room table decorated! The table runner is simple, just small scraps of fabric squares stitched together and bordered. Halloween decorations are out for such a short time of year so why make something too complicated? Upright in a glass sundae cup are table triple dipped pretzel rods in caramel, chocolate and then green dipping chocolate with an almond slice as a fingernail for a witches finger! My kids and I love making and eating these! The Halloween platter closest to you has double dipped caramel apples! There is nothing like enjoying apples in the fall! What recipes do you enjoy? We have several and one of our favorites is caramel and chocolate dipped apples! This year we dipped the caramel apples in expensive Peter’s Caramel and then grocery store purchased caramels. What a difference the block of caramel from Peter’s made! The melting point was lower so the caramel during the night didn’t slip off the apple like the inexpensive caramels. But to tell you the truth after we dipped both sets of caramel dipped apples and then dipped them in chocolate, we really couldn’t taste much of a difference. Just chill the apples with the dipped caramel before you leave dip them in the chocolate! YUM!
What about right outside your dining room door! Here are some great ideas for outdoor FUN!
How about just decorating your lovely gardens with some Halloween embellishments! It doesn’t take much! These are some old pieces of wood cut and simply painted.
Just add some pumpkins or gourds here or there for some Halloween Glam.
These pumpkins are ready for a masquerade!
Your Halloween yard art can be as simple or complex as your imagination!
Then there is our fireplace mantles, this year I decided to go a bit smaller and simpler. Well my boys and great nieces decorated the house this year. They love when I say to get the orange and black bins from the garage and I love to see where they put everything! That is some kid fun isn’t?
But back to the stitching, I sure had a lot of fun stitching together Rosie the Zombie in Zombie Love Fabric designed by Emily Taylor for Riley Blake Designs. Over three feet tall she it was a blast seeing her come together. There is a tutorial on how to construct Rose the Zombie here.
Zoe the Zombie and Bones the Immortal Dog were also a lot of fun to create from Zombie Apocalypse Fabric Panel by Emily Taylor Designs with Riley Blake Fabrics. Before I assembled them, I long arm quilted the panel which gave such shape and form to their personalities!
Halloween is a time for family fun and to bring neighborhoods and communities together! What are some of your favorite Halloween items that bring that playful feel to your family? Remember enjoy the moment and find delight!
The next Halloween items that I am making for my home will include a Immortal Zombie with a bit of Zombie love quilt and table runner! Check out the fabrics that I will be using for this project! My husband is excited to have these items completed! Won’t they be fun! My husband wants it to look ripped up and fun! Any piecing or quilting suggestions?

Four Square in a Nine Patch Modern Block
Doesn’t Four Square bring back playground memories from elementary school? The very first quilt I made 20 plus years ago was a nine patch. I thought it would be fun to call this Four Square in a Nine Patch Modern Block for the 2016 Cloud9 Cirru
s Solids New Block Blog Hop. I received these fabrics from Cloud9 and they sat in my inbox as I
Daydreamed what I would create with these beautiful solids. Every so often during my day, I loved reaching over and feeling the softness of these 100% Organic Cotton Solids. YUM! The colors of the Cloud9 Cirrus Solids are Amazon, Sky, Iris, Lilac and Shadow.
I’ve enjoyed the 100 days 100 blocks on social media from Tula Pink’s Book of Modern Blocks. I thought to myself, how I appreciate simple but yet modern those blocks are. So I decided to go simple and modern with these gorgeous fabrics for a modern block design. I hope that a beginning quilter won’t feel overwhelmed by the 4 square in a Nine Patch Modern Quilt block and a seasoned quilter may want to quickly bust this block out for a fast project. The repeat is a stunning quilt but that is for a later post.
Let’s get started! I’m using the Shadow gray in this block almost as if it is a background solid. Then I selected the two blue Amazon and Sky to offset each other diagonally with the Iris and Lilac to offset each other diagonally.
To create the 12.5 inch finished block, use the following instructions:
Cut one 2.5 inch square block from each of the 4 colored fabrics – Amazon, Sky, Iris and Lilac
Now it’s time to cut one 5 inch square block from each of the 4 colored fabrics. Don’t let these pictures fool you the upper picture is the 2.5 inch size blocks cut and then the lower picture is the 5 inch square blocks cut from each colored fabric.
Cut 1 – 2.5 inch strip by 42 inches long of the Grey Shadow. Then cut the 2.5 inch strip into 8 – 2.5 x 5 inch strips.
This image is the 8 Grey Shadow strips laid out like a flower with all the scraps of the fabric as a center. I’m sorry… even the scraps were so pretty that I was too tempted to play and make a pretty flower to display the grey strips.
Let’s start stitching!
We are going to construct this block into 2 different sets of sections – “inner” and “outer”. This is a layout of the inner section using the 4 – 2.5 inch square block in the inside and the 2.5 by 5 inch Grey Shadow Rectangle Blocks.
Stitch the blocks together in two separate strips and then press them flat.
Press your inner block strips after stitching together. Use the fork pins to match your seams and stitch the two inner block strips together. Have you used fork pins before? They are a lot of fun and get great matching seams. If you want to purchase them from Stitches Quilting you can here. They are also a great gift for your Quilty Sewing Friends for Christmas as an affordably priced item.
After stitching the two inner block strips together, remove the fork pins and press. This is what everything should look like now.
Here is the layout of the outer section blocks and how they will be stitched together. Now we are laying 2 of the 2.5 x 5 inch rectangles horizontally to each other with the 5 inch squares placed on either side of the rectangles. Be sure to arrange your blue hues diagonally and the purple hues diagonally consistent with the inner block strip that you just stitched.
After stitching the outer block rows together, press the outer block strips and then lay them out by the joined two inner block strips. When laying out the outer blocks take note of the color pattern and confirm that you have the rows lined up to the color pattern that you desire.
Use fork pins to match your seams carefully and attch the two outer sections to the inner section as laid out above. Press your block carefully to prepare the squaring up of your block to a 12.5 inch size. For convenience I am using a 12.5 inch square ruler to precisely square up my block.
Here is what your finished block will look like. There will be a post later this week to show you how to arrange this block into a full quilt with quilt size deminsions, cutting instructions and yardage needed. Be sure to subscribe to Stitches Quilting to get an email with the FREE Four Square in a Nine Block Modern Quilt Pattern.
I truly enjoyed working with these gorgeous Cloud9 Cirrus Solids. I would recommend purchasing them. I will place an order with Cloud9 to carry them in the store to purchase as yardage. Use the yardage to make any of the blocks that you have seen on the Cloud9 Cirrus Solids New Block Blog Hop.
I want to thank our hosts and the 62 other bloggers that joined this blog hop and each created an unique modern block for you with a free pattern. To visit the other quilt blogger pages you can click the links to follow them organized by the three separate days that we posted our blog posts. You will be impressed with these brilliant women, quilt blocks and Cloud9 fabrics.

When watching an ocean sunrise, we relish and hopefully memorize every moment! It’s intoxicating to feel the cool breeze with your toes in the sand, while deeply breathing the salty air. It is mind boggling to reflect on how the land, sea and sky can be both powerful and peaceful at the same time. We can only quietly watch as the evolving timed colorful masterpiece quietly disappears as quickly as it appeared. Don’t you just love to quietly sit there enjoying the live beauty and allow our minds to break from the hustle of worldly needs?
We don’t all have the privilege to live by the ocean, but when I am by the ocean, I try to memorize these moments in my heart. Ever since there have been people on the earth by the sea, I am certain that the ritual we enjoy and feel from ocean sunrises and sunsets are similar. It is mystifying to think we are relishing things that have been experienced by many different civilizations, cultures, people and times. That quiet private therapeutic moment with nature can make us realize how small we are in scale to the civilizations that came before us.
Paintbrush Studio is sharing an Ocean Sunrise color palette from their new line Painters Palette solids for us to use our imagination to celebrate these moments. As you surf the World Wide Web, you will notice over 30 quilt bloggers creating new quilt blocks to try to express their joy through fabric providing full tutorials to inspire you.
I can picture generations and different eras dressed in their ever evolving clothing styles enjoying these moments. The one item consistent with people enjoying a sunset or sunrise is clothing and the fabric they are wearing. Don’t we just love fabric? Some of the fashions, style, fabric come and go with the ebb and flo of our cultures.
I love modern twists on vintage items. For my block, I thought I would celebrate the modest vintage swimsuits that perhaps people were dressed in ready to leisurely enjoy the day along the sandy beaches. I designed a modest man and woman’s swimsuit sitting next to each other on the sandy beach. Perhaps watching the early morning sunrise or evening sunset, they would not only have their swimsuits but also a quilt to stay warm. (wink)
As stitching this block together we can think about and appreciate the civilizations before us that have enjoyed ocean sunrises and sunsets during daily life, times of war, contemplation, anticipation and peace.
To create this block I used the Painters Palette Midnight Blue, Daydream Blue, White, Peach Sand and Bordeaux Solids. The methods used to create this block are piecing and strip piecing with a consistent 1/4 inch seam. I love the striped vintage men’s swimsuit in Midnight Navy Blue and Daydream Blue. The women’s swimsuit gives a nautical feel with the Bordeaux, White and Daydream Blue along with the white buttons to embellish the suit.
Part One Tutorial – Men’s Vintage Swimming Suit for an Ocean Sunrise
1. Read through the entire tutorial and instructions. Stitch everything together with a 1/4 inch seam.
2. Here is a friendly layout of the Vintage Bathing Suits and the sections we will be working on.
3. Cut the fabric carefully according to the instructions and specifications provided in the tutorial.
4 . To create this 12.5 inch block we are going to break the block into manageable pieces working on Part One: Men's vintage bathing suit section and Part Two: Women's vintage bathing suit.
Part 1: Men's Vintage Bathing Suit
Construct Men's Section BB - Center Section of Men's Bathing Suit
Construct Men's Section AA - Men's Bottom Section for legs
Join Men's Sections AA to BB
Join Men's Vintage Swimming Suit Section AA to Men's Vintage Swimming Suit Section BB. This is the lower portion of the Men's Vintage Swimming Suit with the center Peach Sand triangle as the bottom.
Stitch Men's Peach Sand C & D long triangle pattern pieces to the bottom left and right sections of the lower portion of the Men's Vintage Swimming Suit (Combined sections just stitched together of Section MEN-AA and MEN-BB). Carefully Press and set aside.
Construct Men's Section CC - Men's V Neckline
Join Men's Section CC to BB together.
Complete shape of Men's Swimming Suit Section by sewing both Peach Sand Pattern Pieces F & G to the left and right top sides of Section CC combined with Section BB. Carefully Press and set aside.
Construct Men's Section DD - Men's Upper Straps to Suit
Join Men's Section CC & DD together.
Now that the Men's Bathing Suit is constructed, carefully press. The block needs to be carefully squared to the dimensions of 6.5 inches by 12.5 inches.
