Block Wednesday!
My theme this week is picking flowers, which might be the BEST part of being a gardener right? Go out to your own flower beds and pick a vase full of blooms! Divine! I have an old splatterware jug that belonged to Gregg's grandmother. I fill it each spring.
We also have the next set of small blocks, so fun! This is a PERFECT time to use up smaller pieces to make a scrappy block. Keep reading to see my tips and the section together, then the Download for my pattern this week is in PINK
TIPS FOR DIE CUTTING
- Always move your dies around so that you don't keep cutting on the same section.
- I've found that when I angle the die on the shim it does a few things. First it more evenly distributes the die across the roller that is pressing to cut the fabric. Which means it won't be as loud.
- It also creates more even pressing areas on the shims so that you don't have a hard line. That keeps the shims from bending as much.
- I live with an engineer, he had to play with this to figure it out. it's what they do.. they can't help themselves. Do you know an engineer? Then you know what I mean!
** BUY A GEMINI Die Cut machine, I love mine! **

I need to complete a Christmas quilt….it’s been on my to do list for a long time. I have even collected fabrics, but the christmas reds and greens change so much from year to year. When I have time to start it I can’t decide on a pattern…just another quilting dilema….gotta love it…so many projects, so little time!!!
Spring and Summer for sure. My house is filled with Christmas quilts all year long! Figgy Pudding has had a permanent place on my bed since I made it.
Thanks for all your do!
I truly need to make a summer king size quilt. I need a light weight this summer cover.
Winter please. I did your Christmas Quilt, now that the season is past I need a winter themed one. Thanks for all the fun adventures you take us Quilters.
Winter, need a couple xmas quilts
Need to make your tulip quilt for sure. Love it
Summer ideas definitely need a boost. I have a few table runners but could use more for the 4 seasons.
I need a fall quilt for next year but chances are that I will be making it for someone else and will love it so much that I will keep it for myself,=. lol

I need more for each season, but first priority would be for summer.
Spring and Fall are my favorites. All the new things are ready to appear once Spring arrives and by the time Fall arrives, I’m ready for the cool down of summer. Call also brings all the beautiful colors of the leaves.
Spring or fall, these two are my favorite so I would definitely make more for those seasons

Congratulations Pat on your new book! I’m sure it will do well. I need spring and summer in table runners, I made a fall one, but I don’t have one for the summer.Thank you for all the hard work you do.
Winter. Because I have so much flannel fabric
I probably need to make some autumnal quilts and quilty decor; that’s where I’m lacking at my house. The rest of the year is pretty well-represented.
Summer, because in summer I think of golf and not so much about quilts.

A fall quilt is needed at my home because we are usually traveling in the fall and then it’s time to make Christmas motifs.

Spring quilts… Tulips are my favorite flower.
I definitely need more spring and summer quilts in my home.im feeling drab with all of the fall colors I have going on right now.
Only Seasonal quilt I have is the Merry and Bright, so quilts for all the seasons are needed!!
I would love to make a quilt with the Tulip pattern
I need everything! I have just rediscovered quilting after raising my daughter and finishing up my career. I am so excited. I want to make it all!
I like the winter season. I’m hoping to make a quilt this year for me and my home to snuggle up in the colder weather. It will hopefully be a lap quilt size. ☆
I need a fall quilt in my home.
I need summer quilts and pillows. I don’t have wall space, so I decorate with runners, pillows, and lap quilts.
Spring or summer, the colors are bright and they lift your spirit!
