So, let's start off with the fabric news and giveaways! We'll start out with Shabby Fabrics! This month, they have several new collections in!
If you're feeling patriotic, check out Let Freedom Ring by Nancy Gere for Windham Fabrics. Or, if you're like me and you like to get a jump start on you holiday sewing, NOW is the time. All of the new holiday lines are in, like Glisten, Merry Taupe, Holly's Tree Farm, Holiday Magic, and one of my favorites, Evergreen!
Shabby Fabrics is graciously offering a 9 FQ set of Evergreen in the Marshmallow color way. Aren't they beautiful? And it looks like they would blend easily with other holiday lines as well (which I always love).
If you haven't heard, Fat Quarter Shop is now offering Aurifil thread boxes in three different weights, and in several color ways. If you have never used Aurifil thread, you are missing out! It is super-strong, produces very little lint to clog up your machine, and quilts beautifully.
Fat Quarter Shop is the sponsor for the second giveaway of the month! They are giving away a fat quarter bundle of Heather Bailey's Ginger Snap line, in the Pepper color way- gorgeous!
So, let's switch gears and get to this week's NTT, shall we? Amongst all of the laundry, meeting with the house/pet sitter, cleaning (in preparation for said house/pet sitter), and packing, I had one quilting goal this week- to finish this quilt top.
Remember Country Girl Chic, the camo and hot pink quilt, I made in the spring? Well, this one is its brother... literally. Country Girl Chic was for a teen girl who was redecorating her bedroom, and guess what? Her older brother wants one in camo and orange, and requested a brick pattern for his room. I have to be honest here. I am really struggling with this one because the fabrics are NOT my style at all, and unlike Country Girl Chic, the pattern doesn't really help them out. I had much more fun finishing up my latest Shattered Rainbow Encore quilt. On the plus side though, the brick pattern went together really quickly.
Last week's party had some real gems, like this rainbow mini, from Heather from Quilts Actually.
or this Medallion Log Cabin from Tanya Quilts in CO-
or this beautiful scrappy purple quilt from Shauna's World!
There were so many lovelies linked up last week! I can't wait to see what you have going on this week! Let's party!
1. You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing!
2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others.
3. Please remember to spread the word and post my button or a text link.
4. Spread the comment love far and wide!
5. Following me is not a requirement to link, but is so very appreciated!
*Also, note that NTT will be taking a vacation next week! See you again on June 25th!
I like your camo and orange quilt! Lovely Holiday fabric!

Great quilts!
ReplyDeleteCameo and orange? It looks like a guy quilt.
ReplyDeleteHope you are able to start the rest and relaxation tomorrow. I always hate the prep for vacation, but I always enjoy it once we get going.
I like the camo and orange quilt! Great giveaways too! carolann427@aol.com
ReplyDeleteLucky you getting to go on vacation! I've been living through all the posts on Facebook from my friends' vacations, pretending I'm anywhere but working. Lol. Thanks for the giveaways! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely give aways! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI know how hard it is to get involved in a project that just isn't "you" but I'm sure you will get it done! And the recipient will love it as well!

The quilting will make that came quilt! It will be awesome. Enjoy your vacation!
ReplyDeleteLove the camo and orange quilt top for the young man; bet it will look wonderful when it is quilted!
ReplyDeleteThe camo quilt's come up well! I'm with you on forgetfulness, baby brain in full swing for me at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI think that the boy will be very happy with the camo quilt. It is hard to work on something when you are not feeling it, but remember that his taste is probably a lot different than yours, therefor, he'll probably love it! Thanks for the giveaways!
ReplyDeleteI think he will love his quilt. You did a great job with the prints. Have a fabulous vacation!!!

Perfect time to start a Christmas project! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe camo quilt is a great 'guy quilt'! Have a wonderful vacation!
ReplyDelete2 wonderful giveaways! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeletelove the quilts you show and would love to be counted in your give away!
ReplyDeleteSounds like I'm in the same boat you're in, hustling around to get ready for a road trip/business trip. But I don't have any finishes to report this week. You rock! It's funny how making a quilt for someone with a different taste falls outside our comfort zone, eh? I suspect he'll love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat cammo quilt! Love the bricks. Thanks for the terrific giveaways!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric! Thanks for the chance to win. Have a wonderful vacation!
ReplyDeleteAlways look forward to NTT!
ReplyDeletebasaran.family@rogers.com
Thank you for great giveaways. It i shard sometimes when we make things for other people and don't really love the fabric or design which we have chosen especially for them, at least they will love it. x
ReplyDeleteGood job on the camo quilt-any young man would love this! Have a great vacation!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful holiday fabric! Thank you for a chance to win and to get a jump start on holiday projects!
ReplyDeleteLove the Evergreen Marshmellow Set
ReplyDeleteOh I would love new Christmas fabric, have a great Vacation!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very boyish quilt - he will be happy even if you are not haha :)
ReplyDeleteso much to comment one too LOL. I just started using Aurifil thread and I LOVE it. I wish their color cards were cheaper so it would be easier to order. Christmas fabric has a special place here and I'm always making gifts for friends with it. I love the raindbow mini the most out of the ones posted, it's like a stash buster taht doesn't look like one. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI go on vacation NEXT week, and I'm already a scatter-brain! I think it's called "vacation brain" and you get so focused on being ready for vacation that your short-term memory just takes a holiday! Have a great time on vacation and thanks for the fun giveaways!
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your vacation and be safe. Thanks for the giveaway.

Enjoy your vacation, nice guy quilt indeed.
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway - thanks so much! I just finished a top with Old New 30's by Lecien (I love their stuff) and I took it to the quilt store to pick out backing. It's my second official quilt top - I copied what you did with the log cabin and 4 1/2" strips....except I cut mine 4 inches because I'm stupid and had improvise. The lady at the quilt store said, "I think you did a really nice job." So, I was happy. It's going to be so cute when it's done! Thanks for the inspiration.
