Welcome to Midweek Makers!

For my Scrap Storage RSC2024 quilt, I played with dots this week. They certainly make a fun and colorful block! Still several blocks to go before I call it done.

I know we still have over a week before Thanksgiving, but I couldn't resist the Christmas themed quilt projects shown last week. There's this cute kitty in a Santa Hat from Patchouli Moon Studio,

and her adorable snowman.

From Scrapbox Quilts, this wonderful Peace on Earth wall hanging, 

and this cheery Christmas themed runner from With Strings Attached.

With those, I'm getting in the mood for Christmas - how about you? Feel free to share your Christmas projects and any other quilt that makes you happy!

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Still filling in the spaces for my Scrap Storage quilt, this time with a shoe box of full of fur fabrics and another bursting with stars. How fun are those??? This quilt is slowly veering toward themed scraps - there's only so many colors!

Other quilters were having fun with their projects this week. Check out Making a Lather's tiny Tuesday sampler block,

DonnaleeQ and her eggplant cat,

and Viridian's Blog with her in-progress Clean Up quilt.

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

This week I'm back to reviewing what colors are missing in my Scrap Storage quilt cause I need more blocks. RSC2024 covered dark and bright green back in January, but I only made one medium green under-bed box block. Now it's time to fill in with both bright green and olive, in the shoe box size. Love the duck and the flowers to add to the I Spy feature of this quilt.

Others that are working on scrappy quilts include Making a Lather, with her Bonnie Hunter Midnight Flight ufo from 2017. Love how this is taking shape!

Eagles Wings Quilts is also finishing up a Bonnie Hunter scrap quilt, Bricks and Stepping Stones,

and Bell Creek Quilts finished an Indian Hatchet baby quilt in yellow and black.

Concession Stand for November Quilt Block Mania

Let's go to shopping! This month's Quilt Block Mania theme is Market/Shop. I took that as buying treats, specifically treats found at a Concession Stand while visiting the beach.

Of course, there are many ways to interpret Market/Shop - just look at all the block offerings this month!

Visit the following designers to download November's free block and please, thank them for their generosity!

Now on to my Concession Stand block. This one is a modification of the Concession Stand block in my Beach Boardwalk quilt. The original is on the left, the modified version, this month's Concession Stand, on the right.

The roof has changed, and there's popcorn available in the new Concession Stand. For one block, grab the necessary fat quarters and little scraps of fabric for applique. The difficulty level for this block is for the confident beginner, who is comfortable working with angles and applique. 

Concession Stand is a free download pattern until November 4. In downloading the pattern, you agree to not share the file with others, but direct them to the QuiltFabrication.com/Concession Stand post - thank you! Now go ahead and click on the download button below for the PDF file.

Welcome to Midweek Makers! And Happy Halloween!

This week I'm sharing an under-bed box block full of Halloween scraps! I just love the little fellow peeking out in the center! This is my fourth block that has a creature looking out at us - a bit of I Spy.

With this block, that marks the end of my holiday themed scraps. Those I don't have are Easter and St. Patrick's Day, mainly cause I don't have any of those themed fabrics anymore. Oh well. Could have used them to expand the quilt!

There were some pretty quilts last week, with some for Halloween and fall. Did you see these?

Gretchen's Little Corner shared her Blessed by Nature flimsy, a very pretty stack-n-whack style quilt.

Patchouli Moon Studio joined the Something Wicked Blog Hop, creating this Halloween themed quilt.

And Busy Hands are Happy Hands is making this wall hanging to add some fall decor.

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

My Scrap Storage quilt is taking shape, and I'm making shoe box storage blocks to fill in both empty spots and to make the quilt longer. I have found I've had to be a bit more thoughtful about the new blocks, scrounging through the scraps and now yardage bins to find fabrics to make the blocks work.  Keeping with the RSC2024 October theme, here's a few more 'lights', one in pale yellow, the other mint.

I'll continue the scrounging until I get enough blocks! 

There were some fabulous finishes last week. Check out the Eiffel Tower from Quilting is in My Blood,

Grace and Peace Quilting finished her Prisms quilt,

and Making a Lather showed off her Diamond Strings scrap quilt.

Nice work everyone!

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Another scrap storage box! For the October RSC2024 lights, I hit my bag of white scraps, which had plenty to play with. The next decision was what size block best fits the quilt. Even though I would have preferred more shoe box size blocks, I opted for the tall storage box block. The reason has to do with the lid.

Because I was dealing with white scraps and all my blocks have white lids, the tall box block contains the least amount of white lid. Therefore, I avoid the confusion of where the box ends and the lid begins. Makes sense right? Hope I'm not the only one who would think of these things!

Some very nice finishes were shared last week. Did you see the cute Polaroid quilt Patchouli Moon Studios made?

Or the very lovely Radiant Blues quilt from Gretchen's Little Corner?

And another Snowflake finish, this one from Vicki's Crafts and Quilting?

Well done everyone!

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

As promised, this week I tackled my grey scraps for RSC2024. Here's both light grey and medium/dark grey shoe box blocks. Glad I sorted them into two piles,  otherwise one box would have been quite the jumble of values.

Next week, I'll tackle white. Haven't quite decided which block size I'll make for that one. Depends on the scraps I have and what the quilt needs.

I'm always impressed with the quilt projects that are shared at each Midweek Makers, and this week is no exception. From Grace and Peace Quilting, her finished quilt-along quilt, Mia,

an in-progress crumb quilt (good to see more crumbs!) over at Crafts, Cavies and Cooking,

and this light/dark mystery quilt that advances and recedes over at Quilting and Learning. 

See what I mean? Such interesting projects!!

What's your share this week? Do show us!

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Before moving onto lights for October's RSC2024, I made a quick check of my loose HST's bag. Low and behold, there were enough black (and white) HST's to make ten - yes, 10 - Broken Dishes blocks! Funny thing is, I don't remember what quilt project they originally came from, but I sure had a lot of them.

Given that these are black and white, I guess I'm bridging both September and October for RSC. Did I get lucky or what??? Next week, I'll move onto the lights, probably white or grey.

Last week's party had some nice shares. Did you see the progress on Buckeye Beauty from Alycia Quilts?

Or the adorable Scrapberries from Pinker n Punkin Quilting?

And not to be left out, the creative insertion of fabric amongst Christmas Pineapple blocks over at Bell Creek Quilts?

What's your creative share this week?
