Welcome to Sewhooked and thanks for stopping by for the Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Blog Tour! I’m thrilled to get to share my newest Quiltmaker offering… Lemons Into Lemonade!

Be sure and stick around to the end…I have TWO fantastic giveaways!

Lemons into Lemonade was inspired by one of my favorite warm weather drinks. Mmm…lemonade!

You can make it too… block #623 on page 33 of Vol. 7!

I design most of my quilt patterns in EQ7, but I still tend to start with a doodle!

EQ7 rendering of Lemons into Lemonade.

You’ll also find this fun table runner, Make Lemonade, on page 10!

Here’s a fun close up…hand embroidered and free motion quilted. 🙂

Spring Fling Blog Hop: This one is for my peeps!

71 Replies

Welcome friends, old and new, to my part in Whims and Fancie’s Spring Fling Blog Hop! Be sure to scroll through to the end to see how to win my giveaway!

When I first learned of this fun event from Soma over at Whims and Fancies, the very first thing to pop in my head was bunnies. But not just any bunnies… PEEPS!

My original intention was to make just one 10″ Peep. If one Peep was cute, then wouldn’t three be cuter? Three quickly turned to eight and I realized my Peeps had multiplied like bunnies!

>>> Peeps! <<<

a 10″ pattern to paper piece.

Instructions included for 5″ block.

Peeps! Designed in EQ7.

My Peeps got me thinking…what else has been crafted using these crunchy marshmallow treats as inspiration? Here are some of the Peep-tastic things I came across!

Peeps Bunny Bunting, tutorial Dana Made It; photo by rcakewalk

Peeps Plushie, tutorial by Maggie Muggins Designs

And of course, my all-time favorite band, Peep Floyd, by Kim’s World of Art!

There’s even a flickr group just for PEEPS!

In true Peeps fashion, I’m giving away over half a pound of yellow and pink scraps perfect for paper piecing! The lucky winner can start his or her own bunny farm! All you need to do to win is comment with the answer to this question…what’s your favorite candy? You have until Monday, April 22 to comment!

There’s always lots going on around here, check out these other events I’m part of!

Stop back April 29 for my newest Quiltmaker contribution!

In just a few minutes, I’ll be heading out with a friend to embark on the 15th Annual Bluebonnet Shop Hop. I’ve worked the Shop Hop and I’ve visited local stores during the hop, but I’ve never attempted to visit all 12 stores, which we’re attempting to do in just two days.

Wish us luck!
