Bowls with Borders!

I hope everyone is having a "bowl-ing" good time! The Bowls that are turning up are absolutely fabulous. Here is the schedule for the rest of the hop: August 19th
Cool Crafty Mom

August 25th

I cannot get over how innovative everyone has been with Regina's pattern.  WOW!!!  There are so many wonderful "Bowls" so far, and more to come.

Thank you for all the wonderful compliments I received for my bowls.  My husband was quite the cheerleader for me.  Each time I showed him my progress, he would cheer me on. Then to have Madamne Samm chose mine as a winner for the day, just blew me away.  I really enjoyed this blog hop. I think there may be more in my future.

Today is my catchup day.  Thursday, my husband and I are driving to Grand Rapids, Michigan for the AQS quilt show. Well, Ron is meeting a former college friend for lunch and catchup, and I am meeting friends to see the show. We are staying overnight, then back home. I'll have photos to share.

Have a great week, and don't forget to check out the "bowls."

Bowls with Borders Day 4

Good Morning," Happy Bowls with Borders Blog Hoppers!"

It is my day to show what I created with Regina Grewe's adorable paper pieced pattern.
First up is Halloween Bowls.
This one measures 9 1/4 x 19.  I have had these Halloween fabrics for a long time and decided they were just begging to be used. It was a lot of fun creating this one.

Here is a closeup of the top.

and the bottom.

I am one of those persons that say if one project is good, how about 2. So, using the same theme, Halloween, more fabric came out of the container.  The black strip around the edge is ribbon and again I used more Halloween buttons for accents. I could envision ghosts drifting on the steam coming from the bowls.
This one I enlarged the pattern to 125%, which gave more space to show off the fabrics. By enlarging the pattern, it became 11 x 29 1/2.

and bottom.
If there are two, why not three!  This time I changed the theme to fun and bright,  polka dots and checks. This one was a lot of fun and turned out to be 10 1/2 x25.

Bottom

and top.

Here they are.  I am so pleased with how each turned out.  I love paper piecing.  I have been working on some of Regina's other patterns.  They are very easy to work with.

Now lets hear it for our cheerleaders, Carol at "Just let me Quilt", and Madame Samm of "Sew We Quilt".
This is the first time I have been part of a blog hop, and it is so much fun.  Our cheerleaders, Carol and Madame Samm do a great job.  Keep checking out the sites, This is the biggest blog hop ever. Join the fun and see all the wonderful creations!

Have a great rest of the week!
