See You in September

"See You In September" is our latest hop.  We were to use gingham in at least one project this summer, and show what else we did.  It all started when Madame Samm found out that Riley Blake was going to discontinue their gingham line. She started a campaign to make sewers aware of gingham!  (It has now been found out that they are not going to let all of it go.)  Shari of Living with Purpose has been our cheerleader. She and Madame Samm have done an outstanding job on keeping us on task for this hop. Here is today's lineup that I am pleased to share with.
Please don't forget to give them all a shout out.  There has been an amazing group of quilters showing us what they can do with gingham during this hop.




 This how I used some of my gingham.  I thought a new hat was in order.

Some of you know I love to make cards.  Here are two gingham cards using the iris folding method.

I loved making these.
While I was on the retreat this past week, I made this apron.  It is a gingham background with cherries all over it.

We did a bit of traveling to this summer.  While in the car, I like to have  handwork to do.  I made all of these dime sized yo yos. for this miniature quilt.  It is a " Little Red Button " pattern.  

Also, finished this little runner.
Can you tell I was into small this summer.  Here is a little hexie quilt.  It is part of a seasonal series that was created by one of the local quilt shops.



As I said, I finished up 7 small projects.  I think I have all the seasons covered here.
Here is some of the gingham I have collected. I have several more ideas for uses of these great gingham's. You can never have too much!

It has been a great summer for sewing and handwork. I hope you had a great summer as well.

See you in September

Our latest hop with Madame Samm of Sew We Quilt and Shari of Living with Purpose have teamed up for this great hop to keep Riley Blake Gingham in the forefront.  It has been announced the l/4 inch gingham is going to be kept in their lineup.  Yea!!  It is such a great fabric to work up.
Are you following the wonderful projects being shown.  What great creativity.
Who knew you could make your own umbrella!
The quilts, bins, totes and pillows are all such fun.

There is a great lineup of quilters ready to showcase their projects.  It looks like everyone has had a busy summer, as well.


My day is Monday the 15th. 
Don't forget to cheer all these lovely quilters on.  They have been busy this summer working on lots of projects and lots of gingham.
