Happy 4th of July! This day is of special significance to my family. My husband is currently serving overseas to protect our freedoms and our independence, which is exactly what this day is about, celebrating those freedoms. In honor of my husband and with the help of Sondra from Contemporary Cloth, I have put together my first ever fat quarter bundle. It is called BitterSweet Bundle #1 – it is a combination of Kaufman Fly Away and Kona Solids. It is currently available for purchase AND 2 lucky winners will each receive their own bundle!
I know what you are thinking…this is the most unpatriotic bundle you’ve ever seen. Let me explain. When I think of freedom, I think of birds, flying high in the sky without a care in the world. They have absolute freedom. The kind of freedom I hope my husband and his fellow soldiers are fighting for. It represents the kind of freedom I see in my daughter when she is dancing in her playroom with her arms thrown up and her eyes closed tight. This is what I will be celebrating today, that type of freedom and the strength it took 200+ years ago to fight for it.
This bundle is the first of many that Contemporary Cloth and I will be putting together for you. Sondra carries prints and fabrics that I haven’t seen anywhere else and I am going to try and put together a bundle a week – time permitting. Each of these bundles will be unique to Contemporary Cloth and will be a mix of solids and prints. I am really excited about this new adventure with Sondra and I hope you all will be excited to see what we come up with.
Please use the Rafflecopter below to enter the giveaway and I hope you all have a happy and safe Fourth of July.
Coming soon to a couple of blogs near you!
I didn’t post the last day of June, I was busy finishing up bee blocks and dealing with some shocking family news. My Uncle was in a horrific motorcycle accident. He is going to be ok, but it will be a long and ugly road to recovery. Please send up a prayer of Thanksgiving because it could have been so much worse.
On a cheerier note…here are the last of my bee blocks for the 3×6 Bee.
I designed this block in Electric Quilt 7 and I truly love how they turned out. What I love the most about this type of bee is working with color combinations that I would not normally use, gives me a chance stretch my creativity. It also gives me a chance to see how versatile one of my designs really is.
I am going to take the next quarter off from the 3×6 Bee. I will still be sewing for Do.Good Stitches and my friend Shana asked me to sew for her this month, but other than that I will be sewing for my family and friends for the next several months. I miss working on projects that are near and dear to my heart and that is truly important to me. You can expect to see at least 2 pairs of shorts this month for the Hopeful Threads July Project and I also have a little something special in the planning stages with Jenna from Sew Happy Geek, so stay tuned!
Do you all have anything special planned for the Fourth?
Don’t forget to go enter to win a fat quarter bundle of Battle Over Gotham from Fat Quarter Shop – giveaway open until July 3rd!
